In Person And/Or Virtual Program Participation Agreement and Liability Waiver

The Pilates Rx offers virtual individual and group Pilates programs. As a condition of participation in our program, you agree to the following. If you do not agree, do not participate in our on-line session.

-You attest that you are at least 18 years old to participate in our program(s). We do not intend for our program(s) to be used by individuals younger than 18. If you are under 18 years old, you must have permission from a parent or guardian to participate in our program. By participating in our program, you attest that you have obtained permission from a parent or guardian.

-Our Pilates program is general in nature and is not intended as medical or physical therapy advice. If we suggest self-assessment procedures, it is not intended to substitute for a medical or physical therapy exam. If we answer questions from you or other participants in the group, our answers are intended to be hypothetical only and not intended as specific medical or physical therapy advice for you or any other particular individual. If you seek or require specific individualized advice, we will refer you to a provider in your area or recommend a physical therapy consultation with us via telehealth or in our office.

-You understand that there are risks in participating in any exercise program. You may be at risk for injuries, including but not limited to tendinitis and muscle strains, back or neck injuries, paralysis, cardiovascular events or even death. If an exercise requires balance, you could be at risk for falling, which could result in fracturing bones. You may also experience muscle soreness from working muscles that are weak or deconditioned. When using exercise equipment, such as weights, resistance bands or therapeutic balls, there are always risks that the equipment may malfunction or fail, potentially causing injury, especially if it is not properly used. We recommend you obtain medical clearance from your primary care provider or physical therapist before participating in our on-line program. Your participation in our on-line program is solely at your own risk whether you obtain medical clearance or not. You knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, and assume full responsibility for your participation.

-We do not claim that the in person or on-line program(s) will result in any particular or specific therapeutic, performance or other outcome.

-You understand that although our program instructors may be physical therapists, our in person or virtual events, whether offered to the public for free or through a paid program, are not physical therapy interventions or advice. You acknowledge and agree that we have not examined you (and have no duty to examine you) and no patient/client-therapist relationship has or will be established by you watching or participating in our on-line program(s).

-You understand and agree that you have no expectation of privacy while participating in an online group session. If you participate in an individual online instructional or educational session, you understand that it is not considered a “telehealth” session because we are not providing medical or physical therapy interventions or advice, therefore, state and federal health care privacy laws (such as HIPAA) do not apply. As such, you should not disclose information about yourself that you do not want other participants to know.

-If the program you participate in is a group session, we may record the session and post it on social media sites or our website. We may also use it for other promotional purposes or training. If you do not want your image to be recorded, you should block or turn off your webcam. If you do not block or turn off your webcam, you are consenting to being recorded and allowing us to use your image in our recording for any legal purpose at our discretion without any expectation of attribution or compensation. We will not, however, associate your name with any recording that contains your image without first obtaining your consent, providing you do not voluntarily state your name at any time during the recording.

-You acknowledge and accept the potential technology risks of participating in an online program, including but not limited to the risk of (1) interruption of the audio/video link, (2) disconnection of the audio/video link, (3) video that may not be clear, and (4) potential of unauthorized access to the live or recorded session. We are not responsible for these or other technology problems.

-Payment and Cancellations. If there is a fee for the program you participate in, you agree to pay for program in advance of your scheduled session. If you schedule an individual session, you must give at least 24 hours-notice in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule the session. If you cancel with less notice, you will forfeit the payment made for the scheduled session. If you pay for a live group session but fail to participate, you forfeit the fee for the session. We will not provide refunds for any scheduled sessions.

-You agree, on behalf of yourself and your heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, to assume these and all injury risks and waive all liability against Allie Duffy, PT, DPT and The Pilates Rx, LLC, its officers, members, employees, subcontractors, agents, assigns and other participants and sponsoring agencies (“Releasees”) for any and all claims, lawsuits, damages, liability, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, for any personal injury or personal property damage claims, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property, whether arising from the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
