Waiver and Release of Liability
In consideration of being permitted to access or participate in any Red Shed activity, I agree to release and discharge Red Shed Inc and its employees, contractors, agents, heirs, and assigns from any claims, demands, damages, liabilities, or causes of action that may arise from my participation or use of Red Shed services or facilities — including but not limited to injury, illness, or loss caused by:
- Equipment malfunction or breakage
- Slips, trips, falls, or accidents involving equipment

Assumption of Risk
I acknowledge that exercise might be difficult and strenuous and that there are inherent dangers associated with it. I understand that unusual physical changes may occur during exercise including abnormal blood pressure, fainting, disorders in heartbeat, heart attack, or in rare cases, death.
I understand that as a result of participation in an exercise program I could suffer an injury or physical disorder that may result in partial or total disability or loss of normal social or occupational function. I recognise that an examination by a physician should be obtained prior to involvement in any Red Shed program. If I choose not to obtain a physician’s clearance, I hereby agree that I am doing so at my own risk.
Water-Based Activity
By booking into any rowing, cold plunge, or other water-based service, I confirm that I can confidently swim at least 50 metres fully clothed and remain afloat for at least 5 minutes.
If I cannot meet this standard, I have informed Red Shed staff in advance and understand that I may be restricted from participation and/or required to wear a personal flotation device (PFD), which I must supply and take full responsibility for.
No Guarantee of Results
I acknowledge and agree that no warranties or representations have been made to me regarding the results I will achieve from any program or service. I understand that results are individual and may vary.
Parent/Guardian Consent for Minors
If the participant is under 18 years of age, this waiver must be read and agreed to by a parent or legal guardian. By booking or allowing a minor to participate, the parent/guardian confirms that they have reviewed and understood this waiver and accept all associated risks on behalf of the minor.
I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE THOROUGHLY READ THIS WAIVER AND RELEASE AND FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY. BY BOOKING INTO ANY EVENT, SERVICE OR PROGRAM, I AM WAIVING ANY RIGHT I OR MY SUCCESSORS MIGHT HAVE TO BRING A LEGAL ACTION OR ASSERT A CLAIM AGAINST RED SHED INC FOR YOUR NEGLIGENCE OR THAT OF YOUR EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR CONTRACTORS.
