Balance by Design Workshop
Health and Safety Agreement and Liability Release

Presented by Christine Cernera, Reclaim Your Health LLC

Please read this agreement before purchasing or participating. It applies to the workshop, its recording, guided exercises, and accompanying resources.

Workshop purpose

This workshop provides general fitness education and movement instruction for generally healthy adults age 18 and older. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, physical therapy, rehabilitation, or an individual assessment.

Participation and medical guidance

I understand that participation is voluntary. I will choose movements appropriate for my abilities and follow any restrictions provided by my healthcare professional.

If I have recent falls, unexplained dizziness or fainting, significant balance difficulties, recent surgery or injury, or a condition that could affect safe participation, I will consult a qualified healthcare professional before participating.

This workshop is not a substitute for individualized care or supervised exercise. If I need hands-on assistance to stand or move safely, I will seek individual guidance before attempting the exercises.

A safe practice environment

I am responsible for preparing a clear, well-lit exercise space with a stable, nonslip surface. I will keep pets, loose rugs, cords, and other obstacles away from my practice area.

I will use a sturdy chair, counter, wall, or other appropriate support as needed. I will not use unstable furniture or equipment.

Moving within my abilities

I will start with an appropriate variation, use support, and modify or skip movements when needed. I will not attempt an exercise simply because it is demonstrated.

I will stop exercising if I experience pain, dizziness, unusual shortness of breath, or other concerning symptoms. I will seek medical advice when appropriate. For chest pain, fainting, sudden weakness, or another possible emergency, I will stop and seek emergency assistance.

Limits of recorded instruction

I understand that during a recorded workshop, the instructor cannot observe me, correct my movements, assess my surroundings, or provide immediate assistance.

Assumption of risk

I understand that physical activity involves risks, including loss of balance, falls, muscle or joint injuries, aggravation of existing conditions, and potentially serious injury.

I voluntarily choose to participate and accept the inherent risks of participation, including risks that may remain despite reasonable precautions.

No guaranteed results

I understand that individual results vary. No particular improvement in strength, balance, mobility, or confidence is guaranteed. Participation does not guarantee that I will avoid falls or injuries.

Release of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, I release Christine Cernera and Reclaim Your Health from claims for personal injury or property damage arising from my participation in this workshop, including claims based on ordinary negligence related to the workshop instruction.

This release does not apply to gross negligence, reckless or intentional misconduct, or any liability that cannot legally be waived.

Acknowledgment

By selecting the required agreement checkbox at checkout, I confirm that I am at least 18 years old, have read and understand this agreement, and voluntarily agree to its terms.

I understand that the liability release affects my legal rights. I will ask any questions before accepting the agreement or participating.
