Informed Consent

I acknowledge that I am voluntarily participating in the Cold Plunge, Sauna, and/or Hot Tub services offered by Rise and Be Well + Fractalize. I understand these services may involve immersion in hot and cold water or exposure to extreme temperatures, which can cause physiological responses, including but not limited to:

  • Increased Heart Rate and Blood Pressure: Rapid temperature changes can impact the cardiovascular system, which may be unsuitable for individuals with certain health conditions.

  • Dizziness or Lightheadedness: Transitioning between hot and cold environments may affect blood pressure and circulation, possibly causing lightheadedness or fainting.

  • Breathing Changes: Temperature shock may temporarily affect breathing patterns, particularly for those with respiratory conditions.

  • Risk of Hypothermia or Overheating: Prolonged exposure to hot or cold may lead to hypothermia or overheating, especially if protocols are not followed.

I understand that it is my responsibility to disclose any known medical conditions, including cardiovascular, respiratory, circulatory, or other relevant health issues, to the Rise and Be Well + Fractalize staff prior to participating.

I confirm that I have no medical conditions or concerns that would prevent me from safely using these amenities, and I will inform staff if I experience discomfort or wish to end the session.

I agree to follow all safety guidelines provided by Rise and Be Well + Fractalize, including recommendations on session duration, gradual transitions between hot and cold, and post-session care. I understand that failure to follow these protocols may increase my risk of adverse effects, for which I accept full responsibility.

In the unlikely event of a medical emergency, I consent to receive first aid treatment from the facility staff and authorize them to seek additional medical assistance if necessary. I acknowledge that any medical costs incurred will be my responsibility.
