People are thought to be most contagious when they are symptomatic (the sickest). (1). [1]As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing, wearing a mask,  and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.

Body First  (“Body First”) has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, Body First LLC cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren)will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, visiting  Body First Wellness and Recreation Center; receiving Body First services, including but not limited to massage therapy, personal training, and tennis lessons; or utilizing the Body First Fitness areas and equipment could increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.

By agreeing, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I or my child(ren) may be exposed too.
