WHAT IS FAITHFit?

FAITHFit is a ministry of First Baptist Church Maryville. We provide fitness opportunities for women, age 14+, of all fitness levels, regardless of church involvement.

FAITHFit supports women to personally strive for God’s best in all areas of health and to model healthy living in their families, churches, and communities.

FAITHFit desires for women to grow in all areas of health in order to experience more of the abundant life that Jesus promised in John 10:10 (NKJV):

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

SECTION 5: WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISKS, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

WAIVERIn consideration of permission to use, today and on all future dates, the property, facilities, staff, equipment and services of the First Baptist Church of Maryville, I, the participant, for myself, my heirs, personal representatives or assigns, do hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue First Baptist Church of Maryville, its directors, officers, employees, and agents, and all members of the FAITHFit team, from liability from any and all claims including the negligence of the First Baptist Church of Maryville, resulting in personal injury, accidents or illnesses (including death), and property loss arising from, but not limited to, participation in activities, classes, observation, and use of facilities, premises, or equipment.

ASSUMPTION OF RISKSPhysical activity, by its very nature, carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries. First Baptist Church of Maryville has facilities for and provides for activities such as weight lifting, running, aerobic activities, classes, and sporting activities. Some of these involve strenuous

17


exertions of strength using various muscle groups, some involve quick movements involving speed and change of direction, and others involve sustained physical activity which places stress on the cardiovascular system. The specific risks vary from one activity to another, but the risks range from 1) minor injuries such as scratches, bruises, and sprains to 2) major injuries such as eye injury or loss of sight, joint or back injuries, heart attacks, and concussions to 3) catastrophic injuries including paralysis and death. I have read the previous paragraphs and I know, understand, and appreciate these and other risks that are inherent in the activities made possible by the First Baptist Church of Maryville. I hereby assert that my participation is voluntary and that I knowingly assume all such risks. I further acknowledge that I am physically fit and able to participate in such activities.

INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESSI also agree to INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS First Baptist Church of Maryville, its directors, officers, employees, and agents, and all members of the FAITHFit team, from any and all claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities, including attorney’s fees brought as a result of my involvement at the First Baptist Church of Maryville and to reimburse them for any such expenses incurred.

SEVERABILITY I further expressly agree that the foregoing waiver and assumption of risks agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of Illinois and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF UNDERSTANDINGI, the participant, have read this document in its entirety, including this waiver of liability, assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement, fully understand its terms, and understand that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue. I acknowledge that I am signing the agreement freely and voluntarily, and intend by my signature to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law.
