Terms & Conditions

 

By signing up for and/or attending classes, events, activities, and other programs and using the premises, facilities and equipment (individually and/or collectively, the "Classes and Facilities") of Off Duty, you hereby acknowledge on behalf of yourself, your heirs, personal representatives and/or assigns, that Off Duty shall not be liable for any damages arising from personal injuries (including death) sustained by you or your guest in, or on, or about the premises, or as a result of the use of the equipment or facilities, regardless of whether such injuries result, in whole or in part, from the negligence of Off Duty.

You acknowledge that there are certain inherent risks and dangers in fitness activities and the use of exercise equipment in association with the Classes and use of the Facilities. You acknowledge that some of these risks cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries. You also acknowledge that the specific risks vary from one activity to another, but range from (1) minor injuries such as scratches, bruises, and sprains; (2) major injuries such as eye injury or loss of sight, joint or back injuries, heart attacks, rhabdomyolysis, and concussions; and (3) catastrophic injuries including paralysis and death.

You shall be subject to, and deemed to have read and thoroughly understand the Off Duty Reformer and TRX Safety Instructions, and Studio Etiquette that are posted on the Off Duty website, a hard copy of which is also available in the studio, upon request. At all times you shall comply with all stated terms, guidelines, safety precaution signs, rules, and verbal instructions given to you by staff and instructors during and outside of any of our Classes to ensure that your risk or injury or discomfort while participating in a class is reduced.  

Off Duty and its instructors are not medically trained and are therefore not qualified to assess whether you are in good physical condition and/or that you can engage in active or passive exercise without detriment to your health, safety, comfort or physical condition. You are advised to seek medical advice prior to commencing any exercise program if you are in any doubt of your ability to do so. Participating in any form of exercise or the Classes at Off Duty is done entirely at your own risk.

You must inform us and any instructors if there are any risks to your health by participating in Pilates and TRX practice, or any other activities that may be conducted during Off Duty Classes. Examples include pre-existing injury, illness, muscle soreness/discomfort or pregnancy, prior to commencement (“Medical Condition”). Where you have a Medical Condition, we strongly recommend that you seek approval from a medical practitioner to participate in any of our Classes. Participating in any form of exercise at Off Duty with a Medical Condition is done entirely at your own risk.

If in the subjective opinion of the Off Duty staff or instructors, you would be at physical risk using Off Duty’s Classes and Facilities, you understand and agree that you may be denied access to the Classes and Facilities until you furnish Off Duty with an opinion letter from your medical doctor, at your sole cost and expense, specifically addressing Off Duty’s concerns and stating that Off Duty’s concerns are unfounded.

You acknowledge that our instructors may use tactile cueing and adjustment methods, or make physical contact with you for correction purposes in order to ensure that your Pilates practice is undertaken in accordance with known practice methods (“Practice Methods”), during Classes. The use of the Practice Methods is designed to maintain a safe and beneficial Pilates experience for you, deepen your learning of Pilates, and to grow your capabilities for Pilates practice. Participating and engaging in Practice Methods is done entirely at your own risk.

You are subject to our Class Cancellation and Late Policy. Off Duty will make every possible effort to deliver our Services through Classes in accordance with our Class Schedule and the assigned Instructors. Class Schedules and assigned Instructors are subject to change, substitution, or cancellation and we are not required to provide notice to you on such changes. We are not liable in any way to provide you with a refund, credit, transfer, or to offer compensation of any kind, for Classes not held in accordance with the Class Schedule, or where the Instructor leading the Class differs from our Class Schedule or has been substituted, including without any limitation any Classes that are changed or cancelled.

Off Duty and its Representatives will not be liable and excludes all liability under these Terms & Conditions, in tort, statute or in any other way for all injury, illness, damage or loss of any kind whatsoever directly or indirectly sustained by you in relation to participating in any Class or otherwise entering the studio. You hereby waive and release Off Duty and its Representatives from all claims from participating in any Class or from otherwise entering the studios.

Off Duty will not be responsible in any way for the safekeeping of your personal belongings that you bring into our studio, and will not be liable for any loss or damage to your property that you may suffer at our studio. You are not permitted to use lockers within our studio to store personal items for longer than the duration of the visit to our studio. Items which are left in lockers within our studio at the closing time for the specific day and are not collected by the owner(s) will be held for 1 week after being found, following which they will either be donated to charity or otherwise disposed.

"Off Duty" shall be read to include its directors, employees, contractors, agents, representatives.
