Article 4 Start of participation

Article 5 Reporting injuries
If a participant is aware of an injury or other wound, he/she must report this to a High Five employee prior to the workout in compliance with the Health Commitment Statement.
Article 6 Liability
Participation in High Five activities is entirely at the participant's own risk. Siemens or High Five cannot be held liable for material, personal, or other damages, including loss or theft, unless it results from malfunctioning equipment due to improper maintenance or inadequate safety supervision in this area. All equipment must only be used for its intended purpose. Each member is required to familiarize themselves with the operating instructions and usage guidelines before using any training equipment, especially if they are unsure. In case of uncertainty, particularly before first using a device, instruction from the fitness center operator or their staff should be sought. All facilities, training equipment, and training areas must be treated with care. Members must refrain from making unnecessary noise, causing disturbances, or endangering other members.
Information on Locker Use:
Lockers may only be used during your time at the fitness studio; usage beyond this is not permitted. Locker keys can be collected from the trainer's office during supervised hours (Monday to Thursday from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Friday from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM). Outside these hours, members can obtain and return keys at the reception desk. Keys must be returned promptly after studio use without being requested. In case of loss, staff must be informed immediately; the member will bear the cost of replacement. If lockers are not emptied upon leaving the studio, the contents will be cleared at the member’s expense. The fitness studio assumes no liability for personal belongings stored in the lockers.
Article 7 Reporting defects and malfunctions
If a participant notices that equipment is not functioning properly, he/she will report this to the High Five employee immediately.
Article 8 Hygiene
Using a towel during training is required. Each participant must clean and/or tidy up the equipment and materials after use. Clean training clothes and indoor shoes must be worn.
