4. Hereby authorize and consent for my Minor child (as applicable and as described in more detail below) to receive In-Program individual training sessions at the Circuit for a time period of one year from the date of this consent.

6.Hereby acknowledge that although the PBTC has implemented enhanced safety measures and precautions, an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 and other communicable disease or illness (including exposure to bacteria, virus, or other pathogen capable of causing a communicable disease or illness) exists in any public space.
