To the fullest extent permitted by law, I hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue Public House Barbell Club, its owners, officers, employees, coaches, independent contractors, and agents (collectively, "Released Parties") from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, including death, that may be sustained by me or my property while:

• Using the Facility or its equipment

This release applies regardless of whether such loss, damage, or injury is caused by the negligence of the Released Parties or otherwise.

I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from any and all claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities, including attorney's fees, arising out of, connected with, or resulting from my use of the Facility, including but not limited to any claims by third parties.

5. Medical Emergency Authorization

In the event of a medical emergency, I authorize the Facility staff to:

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claims arising from the minor's participation.
