2. Acknowledgement of Risks - I understand that engaging in physical exercise and using gym equipment involves risks, including but not limited to muscle strain, sprains, broken bones, medical emergencies, or—though rare—serious injury or death.
I accept full responsibility for these risks, including those arising from my own actions or decisions.
