Terms and Conditions | The Wonder Barre

This Agreement is between you (“Member”) and Simone Isaac LLC d/b/a The Wonder Barre (“Company”), located at 495 Main Street, Ste. 205, Armonk, NY 10504.

Assumption of Risk:Member understands that exercise, exercise classes, physical training and using fitness equipment, whether in studio, by video stream, or by livestream (“Exercise Classes”) are potentially hazardous activities. Member further understands that these activities involve risks of injury, aggravation of preexisting conditions, and in the most severe and extreme situations, even death. Furthermore, Member acknowledges that injury due to exercise cannot be predicted with complete accuracy and that injuries and changes may occur during or following exercise that could lead to complications and adversely affect Member’s health. These changes may include, among other effects, high blood pressure, increased heart rate, altered heart function, and possibly, and again in rare instances, cardiac complications. Accordingly, Member acknowledges voluntary participation in Exercise Classes with the full knowledge and understanding of the potential dangers. Member is aware that a comprehensive medical examination is necessary before engaging in Exercise Classes and that a consultation with a physician is essential to determine which physical activities, exercises, training and programs, if any, are recommended by Member’s personal physician. Member further acknowledges that Member had a physical examination within the last month and was advised by the physician that it was suitable to engage in Exercise Classes, or that Member voluntarily assumes all responsibility and liability for engaging in Exercise Classes. Member also acknowledges reading and being informed of the following:

If you are currently under a physician’s care for an injury, condition or illness, The Wonder Barre strongly urges you to consult your physician before conducting any exercises, using any equipment, or participating in any program or Exercise Class provided by The Wonder Barre.

COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact.

The Wonder Barre has put in place preventative measures for attendance at its Exercise Classes to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, The Wonder Barre cannot guarantee that you or your guest(s) will not become infected with COVID-19, and, if such an infection occurs, to be able to discern that such an infection was connected to your presence on the premises or engagement in activities at The Wonder Barre.  Attending classes at The Wonder Barre could increase your risk and your guest’(s) risk of contracting COVID-19.

By signing this agreement, you acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that you may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending Exercise Classes at The Wonder Barre and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. You understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at The Wonder Barre may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of yourself and others, including, but not limited to, The Wonder Barre management and employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families.

You understand that The Wonder Barre may use or record my participation in any Exercise Class, whether in the studio or via video streaming or live streaming,  through the use of video, audio, photographic, digital, electronic, livestreaming over the internet, or any other medium (“Recording”), and that you grant The Wonder Barre permission to record your likeness and on a Recording.
