FiA Disclaimer and Notice 

Females in Action (FiA) is a peer-led, zero-cost non-profit workout group. FiA makes no representations with regard to the skill level of workout leaders, the safety of the exercises performed during workouts or the hazardousness of the premises upon which workouts are conducted. The women who lead FiA workouts are not paid to do so and no representations of any kind are made by FiA about their skill level. The premises upon which FiA workouts are conducted are not owned or maintained by FiA. FiA makes no representations of any kind regarding their safety. Although FiA workouts vary widely in intensity, all the workouts tend to be fairly rigorous and are occasionally undertaken upon uneven ground during periods of limited visibility. Therefore, there are certain dangers inherent in participating in an FiA workout. Participants are assumed to have made their own reasonable decision as to whether they should so participate. FiA disclaims any and all responsibility for any individual’s decision to participate in an FiA workout. By participating in an FiA workout, an individual assumes the risks inherent in doing so. This Disclaimer and Notice is made by FiA on its own behalf and on the behalf and for the benefit of any person leading an FiA workout and/or otherwise acting for the benefit of FiA.

One of the foundations of FiA is that FiA workouts are held outdoors: rain or shine, hot or cold. FiA makes no representations with regard to the safety or hazardous nature of the premises upon which workouts are conducted. FiA participants are expected to make their own reasonable decisions regarding whether weather conditions are safe, given their own skill levels and individual physical limitations. FiA Nation leaves the ultimate decision regarding whether to cancel a scheduled FiA workout due to weather conditions to the Regional Leader (RL), the Leadership Board and the workout Site Q. The Site Q knows her physical site and its potential perils best. She will discuss cancelling with the RL and Board. However, the Site Q will use her discretion wisely and sparingly, as appropriate, remembering that a scheduled FiA workout is a promise to the PAX. FiA workouts should not be cancelled for rain, heat, or cold, barring extremely rare weather conditions which render it impossible to exercise outdoors. FiA workouts should be cancelled in the event of lightning or any extreme weather condition that renders the road and/or site perilous to travel by car or foot such as ice, snow, or flooding. FiA workouts should also be cancelled for meteorological perils such as tornado and hurricane watches and/or warnings. Upon cancellation, the RL or Site Q will alert the PAX of the cancellation via their group communication method/app. They will notify their Social Media Q who will blast the cancellation out on all social platforms.
