Follow on Google News | Personal Trainers Eagerly Adopt Digital Liability Waivers Through WaiverSignBy: WaiverSign For example, a team of seven personal trainers serves up to 40 clients daily at Wattage, a personal training facility in Chicago. Manager Maria Candia explains that training here is appointment- "People want to move for an hour under the guidance of an experienced and certified trainer, someone who knows exactly what to do to help, even when outside of the gym," she says. Along with so many other businesses, Wattage was closed for a period of time in 2020, re-opening in June after establishing COVID-19 protocols to protect clients and staff. Among its protocols was the implementation of WaiverSign that provides a paperless path to obtaining signed online liability waivers (https://www.waiversign.com/) WaiverSign was an upgrade from the center's traditional way of handing out paper waivers for clients to sign before they used the workout equipment. Now clients sign workout-related waivers, digitally produced, before coming to the center or affix their signatures at a kiosk right at the center. And they are asked to sign a COVID-19-related Code of Conduct, also digital, that pledges them to adhere to the center's protocols. "The team at WaiverSign has been good at answering questions and helping us after we established the legal language," notes Candia. "The WaiverSign system is organized by type of waiver and all in one place. This is so much better than juggling and storing multiple paper waivers." Waivers are long associated with such high-risk pursuits as sky diving, river rafting, and bungee jumping. But as reported in Money, June 9, 2020, "As Americans return to their favorite gyms, salons, and restaurants, waivers will be part and parcel of the experience…" By requiring signed waivers, businesses want clients to commit by signature, their understanding that this pandemic puts at risk all who choose to enter a locale. By acknowledging in advance the risks, the participant assumes responsibility for a decision to partake; and businesses adhering to disease-mitigation protocols may steer clear of liability for illness-related claims. WaiverSign has experienced a massive spike in signups for its digital liability waiver (https://www.waiversign.com/ About WaiverSign Founded in 2013, WaiverSign offers one of the most efficient, easy-to-use digital liability waivers and electronic liability release solutions available in today's marketplace.
