Answer:
A waiver or release form can help protect you from liability for injuries or damages that may occur while participating in your exercise program. However, it's important to note that such waivers generally do not protect against intentional harm or gross negligence.
Obtaining a doctor's permission for participants may be a good practice, but it may not fully shield you from liability. It's advisable to consult with a legal professional to ensure your waiver is properly drafted and enforceable in your state.
