Facility Use and Risk Notice

Read this notice before you enter Lil's Gym, take a tour, or send a membership request. You may print or save this page. You may ask questions and come back later. A check box is not a signature. Membership may still need a signed copy.

This notice uses plain language. It does not replace a lawyer. Lil's Gym has not had a lawyer approve this version. A later version can replace this one.

Purpose and parties

This notice is an agreement about risk and duties at Lil's Gym, 32 Weber St W, Kitchener, ON N2H 3Z2.

Lil's Gym means the gym that occupies that address.

You means the person who enters, tours, trains, or asks to join. If that person is under 18, a parent or guardian must review this notice.

Visitor means You in this notice.

The purpose is to explain inherent gym risks, what each party must do, and what this notice does not do.

Contract Information

The site visit buttons use these actions after You review this notice:

• Book a Free Tour
• Get Directions

Those labels stay the same in this notice and on the buttons.

What this notice covers

This notice covers use of the gym floor, equipment, common areas, and tours at the address above.

This notice also covers training when no staff member is on site. Lil's Gym is open 24 hours for members.

Community rules live in the Gym Policies. Privacy rules live in the Privacy Policy.

Inherent risks

Strength training and gym use have risks that can happen even when people are careful. These risks include:

• Strains, sprains, tears, broken bones, and back or joint injury
• Weights, bars, or plates that drop, roll, or hit a person
• Slips, trips, and falls on floors, platforms, or stored gear
• Heart, breathing, or other medical events during hard effort
• Injury from training alone, when help may take longer to arrive
• Injury from another person's movement, fatigue, or lack of focus

You know these risks. You choose to take part anyway. Lil's Gym is not an insurer. Accidents can happen without anyone breaking a duty of care.

Responsibilities

Lil's Gym

Lil's Gym must take reasonable care so that people on the premises are reasonably safe. Ontario occupier law names this duty. The official name is the Occupiers' Liability Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. O.2.

Lil's Gym must not create a danger on purpose. Lil's Gym must not act with reckless disregard for people on site.

Lil's Gym must keep this notice easy to find. Lil's Gym must give You time to read it.

You

You must decide if You are healthy enough to train. Ask a doctor if You have a health concern.

You must use equipment You understand. Ask a coach or staff member if You do not know a lift or a machine.

You must follow Gym Policies and any staff direction about safety.

You must load, spot, and store weights in a controlled way. You must not throw weights.

You must give other people space, especially when they train hard.

If You train when no staff member is on site, You accept that help can be delayed.

Independent coaches

Some coaches run their own business inside the gym. Those coaches are not employees of Lil's Gym. Their programs, prices, and advice are their own.

What this notice does not do

This notice does not hide a fee, a rule, or a safety duty.

This notice does not transfer to You a duty that Lil's Gym controls, such as keeping the premises in reasonable condition.

This notice does not remove a right that Ontario law says a person must keep.

This notice does not say You got legal advice. This notice does not say You gave up a right You did not have time to review.

Claims for inherent risk

You accept the inherent and obvious risks of gym use listed above.

If Ontario law lets an occupier limit claims for those risks, and for ordinary carelessness in a gym setting, this notice does that.

If the law does not allow that limit in a case, that part does not apply to that case.

Changes and corrections

Lil's Gym may publish a new version of this notice. The new version replaces the old version on the effective date shown on that page.

If a fact in Contract Information is wrong, tell Lil's Gym before You rely on it. Use Get in touch or the Contact Us page.

Problems and help

If You have a safety problem on site, stop the unsafe act if You can. Tell staff or the owners as soon as You can.

If You have a question about this notice, use Contact Us or Get in touch. Lil's Gym will answer before You must decide to join, when that is practical.

Review confirmation

The visit buttons on every page list this notice and the Privacy Policy before You can use Book a Free Tour or Get Directions. The confirmation text is:

I have been provided enough time to review and agree to the terms of the privacy policy and standard gym waiver in case I intend to visit the location.

That check box starts empty. It records that You had time to read. It is not a claim that You understood legal advice. It is not a substitute for a signed membership record.
