Pilates Flow.

1. Nature of the Activity & Inherent Risks

The Hot Room operates a mat pilates and yoga studio in which classes are conducted either in a room heated to approximately 35–38°C (95–100°F) using infrared panel heating, or unheated. I understand that participation in heated exercise combines physical exertion with elevated ambient temperature, and that this carries inherent risks beyond those of exercise in a non-heated environment. These risks include, but are not limited to:

• Heat exhaustion, heat stroke, dehydration, dizziness, fainting, or nausea
• Muscle strains, sprains, joint injuries, or other musculoskeletal injuries
• Aggravation of pre-existing cardiovascular, respiratory, or musculoskeletal conditions
• Falls or injuries resulting from movement on exercise mats or studio flooring
• Adverse reactions to exertion in elevated temperature, even with no known prior history
• Injury from studio equipment, props, or fixtures, or contact with other participants or shared surfaces

2. Assumption of Risk

I voluntarily choose to participate in classes and activities at The Hot Room with full knowledge of the risks described above. I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of The Hot Room, its owners, instructors, employees, or agents, except as limited by applicable Cambodian law.

I confirm that I am physically fit to participate in heated exercise classes, or that I have consulted a qualified medical professional regarding my fitness to do so.

3. Release & Waiver of Liability

In consideration of being permitted to participate, I, on behalf of myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, hereby RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE The Hot Room, its founders, owners, instructors, employees, contractors, and agents (the “Released Parties”) from any and all liability, claims, demands, or causes of action arising out of any loss, damage, injury, illness, or death sustained while participating in any class or activity at The Hot Room, or while on its premises, however caused, including the negligence of the Released Parties.

This release does NOT apply to injury, loss, or damage caused by the gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct of the Released Parties, to the extent such limitation is required under the laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Nothing in this Agreement excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

4. Indemnification

I agree to INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS the Released Parties from any loss, liability, damage, or cost (including reasonable legal fees) they may incur as a result of any claim brought by me or on my behalf, to the extent the claim arises from risks I have assumed under this Agreement, except where it arises from the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the Released Parties.

5. Physical Condition & Medical Responsibility

By signing, I confirm and represent that:

• I am in good physical health with no condition that would prevent safe participation in heated exercise, or I have obtained medical clearance.
• I am solely responsible for informing my instructor before each class of any injury, condition, pregnancy, or limitation affecting my participation.
• The Hot Room's instructors are not medical professionals; their guidance is general fitness guidance, not medical advice.
• I will immediately stop and notify my instructor if I experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, nausea, or any concerning symptom.
• It is my sole responsibility to consult a physician before beginning or continuing any exercise program, particularly given the heated environment. Clients over 45, or with relevant conditions, are strongly encouraged to obtain medical clearance before their first class.

6. Personal Property & Studio Conduct

The Hot Room is not responsible for any loss, theft, or damage to personal property; I bring belongings at my own risk. I agree to follow all studio rules and instructor guidance, including arrival times, hydration, and safety protocols. The Hot Room may refuse service or class entry to anyone who disregards safety instructions or studio rules.

7. Photography & Media Consent

The Hot Room may occasionally photograph or film classes for marketing and social media. I consent to incidental appearance in such content, unless I notify the Studio in writing that I do not wish to be included, in which case the Studio will take reasonable steps to honour this for future content.

8. General Terms

This Agreement takes effect upon signature and remains in effect for the duration of my active account, covering every visit without a new signature each time. If any provision is held invalid under Cambodian law, the remainder continues in full force. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia, with disputes subject to the competent courts of Phnom Penh, and constitutes the entire understanding on liability and assumption of risk.

I confirm that I have read this Agreement in full, understand its contents, and am signing voluntarily with full knowledge of its legal effect. I confirm that I am at least 18 years of age, or that this Agreement has been signed by my parent or legal guardian on my behalf.
