Nurtured Movement NYC – Waiver of Liability & Assumption of Risk

By participating in any Nurtured Movement NYC movement class, session, event, or service—whether in-studio, in-home, outdoors, or online—I acknowledge and agree to the following terms on behalf of myself and, where applicable, my child in attendance:

1. Voluntary Participation

I understand that I am voluntarily choosing to take part in the training programs, exercises, and sessions offered by Nurtured Movement NYC and Georgia Minehan. If attending a Mama & Me or baby-inclusive session, I understand that I am also voluntarily choosing to include my child in this environment.

2. Medical Clearance & Personal Responsibility

I confirm that I have consulted with a physician regarding my ability—and my child’s ability, if applicable—to participate in physical exercise. I represent that neither of us have medical conditions, injuries, or limitations that would prevent safe participation.

I understand it is my responsibility to monitor my own condition and that of my child during class. I agree to stop or modify exercises at any time if I feel pain, dizziness, discomfort, or concern for my child’s wellbeing.

3. Assumption of Risk

I acknowledge that participation in physical exercise carries inherent risks, including but not limited to:
• muscle strains, sprains, or injuries
• falls or equipment-related injuries
• risks associated with postpartum recovery
• risks related to my child being present (rolling, contact injury, overstimulation, crying, etc.)
• risks associated with exercising in my home environment (for in-home or online sessions)

I voluntarily accept and assume all such risks on behalf of myself and my child.

4. Child Safety

I understand that during Mama & Me or baby-inclusive classes, I am solely responsible for supervising my child. I acknowledge that Nurtured Movement NYC and Georgia Minehan are not responsible for monitoring my child, preventing injury, or managing interactions with other children.

5. Release of Liability

I knowingly, voluntarily, and expressly waive any claim I or my child may have against Georgia Minehan, Nurtured Movement NYC, its owners, instructors, or insurers for any injury, illness, or damages arising from participation in these programs, including those resulting from negligence.

I agree to accept full financial responsibility for any medical treatment required due to injury or incident involving myself or my child.

6. Online & In-Home Sessions

I acknowledge that during virtual or in-home sessions, the instructor may not be able to fully assess my form, environment, or safety setup. I accept full responsibility for creating a safe exercise space.

7. No Guarantee of Results

I understand that participation in Pilates or any fitness program does not guarantee specific physical or mental outcomes.

8. Photography & Media Release

I understand that photos and/or video recordings may be taken during Nurtured Movement NYC classes, sessions, or events for marketing, educational, or promotional purposes, including but not limited to use on websites, social media, email marketing, and printed materials.

I hereby grant Nurtured Movement NYC and Georgia Minehan the irrevocable right and permission to photograph and/or record me and, where applicable, my child, and to use, reproduce, edit, publish, and distribute such images or recordings without compensation.

I acknowledge that all photographs and recordings are the property of Nurtured Movement NYC. I release Nurtured Movement NYC, Georgia Minehan, and any affiliated parties from any claims related to the use of these images or recordings, including but not limited to claims of invasion of privacy or misappropriation.

I understand that participation constitutes consent unless I provide written notice prior to the session requesting not to be photographed or recorded. Nurtured Movement NYC will make reasonable efforts to honor opt-out requests.

9. Severability

If any provision of this waiver is deemed invalid, the remainder shall continue in full effect.

10. Consent to Future Updates

I understand that Nurtured Movement NYC may update or modify this Waiver of Liability from time to time. Continued participation in any class, session, or service after such changes are posted or communicated constitutes my acceptance of the revised terms. It is my responsibility to review the waiver periodically for updates.

11. Acknowledgment of Understanding

By participating in any class or session, I acknowledge that I have read this waiver thoroughly, understand its contents, and agree to its terms freely and voluntarily on behalf of myself and, if applicable, my child.
