Fitness Center Policies
Warning, Liability, Release and Acknowledgement and Assumption of Risks and Rules apply to Fitness Center, Brinkley Gym and Intramurals.
Voluntary use of facilities and activity programs offered by Davidson-Davie has been designed to provide participants with the optimum level of beneficial exercise and enjoyment. Inherent in any exercise program, however, is the risk of injury through improper use of equipment or imprudent exercise beyond your capability. Also, injury could occur due to conduct of others in any physical activity and equipment used or through your participation in activities and equipment use. Prior to volunteer participation in intramural programs or use of Davidson-Davie facilities, you are strongly recommended to request instruction concerning proper use of equipment. Additionally, it is recommended that you consult with your physician before engaging in any exercise program or other physical activity. Please be advised that we do not prescribe specific medical programs or treatments. Also, Davidson-Davie Community College is not responsible for injury or death due to improper use of equipment, etc.
