As affiliates begin reopening all around the world, many are choosing to have their members sign an updated waiver that lets them know they’re taking a risk by going to the gym during the ongoing worldwide pandemic.
Jeremy Brassard, the owner of Armor CrossFit in Ocoee, FL, explained while he’s not worried about his members getting sick from his facility, experience has taught him he should cover all his bases.
- “(I) just wanted to go over the top...I was a cop for five years and was wrongfully sued twice, and it’s just a huge pain in the butt. This way, there’s no chance,” Brassard said.
