Get Started — 4 Seasons Fitness is an 18+ Gym

1. ASSUMPTION OF RISK

I understand that participation in fitness activities, strength training, cardiovascular exercise, functional training, group fitness classes, and use of any equipment at 4 Seasons Fitness, LLC (“Club”) involves inherent and significant risks. These risks include, but are not limited to:

• Muscle strains and tears
• Broken bones
• Heart attack or stroke
• Permanent disability
• Paralysis
• Death

I acknowledge that these risks may arise from my own actions or inactions, the actions of others, the condition of the premises, or the use or misuse of equipment.

I knowingly and voluntarily assume all inherent risks associated with my use of the Club and its facilities, whether known or unknown, obvious or hidden, to the fullest extent permitted under Montana law.

I further acknowledge that the Club operates at times without staff present, and I assume all risks associated with exercising without supervision.

2. MEMBERSHIP ELIGIBILITY

For insurance, safety, and liability reasons, 4 Seasons Fitness is an adults-only facility. All members and guests must be 18 years of age or older to enter or use the gym. Individuals under the age of 18 are not permitted in the facility under any circumstances.

Exception: Individuals under the age of 18 may access the facility only while participating in a scheduled one-on-one personal training session with an approved 4 Seasons Fitness personal trainer. The trainer must provide direct, continuous supervision of the minor for the entire duration of the session. Minors are not permitted to use the facility before or after the scheduled session or without the trainer present.

These policies apply regardless of parental consent, presence, or supervision, unless the minor is participating in a scheduled one-on-one session with an approved trainer as described above.

These policies are in place to promote the safety of all members and to comply with our insurance and liability requirements. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
