Document background
The Fitness Liability Waiver is an essential legal document for any fitness facility operating in the Philippines. It serves as a risk management tool that establishes clear terms between fitness service providers and their clients, protecting facilities from potential liability while maintaining compliance with Philippine legislation. This document should be used before allowing any participant to engage in fitness activities, clearly outlining the risks involved, participant responsibilities, and liability limitations. The waiver incorporates requirements from the Civil Code of the Philippines, Consumer Act, and relevant health and safety regulations, making it suitable for gyms, fitness centers, and other physical activity facilities. It's particularly important given the physical nature of fitness activities and the potential risks involved, while balancing the rights of consumers under Philippine law with the legitimate need for businesses to protect themselves from unwarranted liability claims.
