WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS. WE EACH AGREE THAT WE WILL ASSERT CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION ONLY IN OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF ANY PURPORTED CLASS. WE EACH AGREE THAT WE WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, MASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. EACH PARTY AGREES THAT THE ARBITRATOR HAS NO AUTHORITY TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS ON A CLASS-WIDE BASIS AND SHALL NOT CONSOLIDATE, COMBINE, OR JOINTLY ARBITRATE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON IN A SINGLE ARBITRATION.

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. WE WAIVE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, ELECTING INSTEAD TO RESOLVE BY BINDING ARBITRATION ALL CLAIMS.

ARBITRATION PROVIDERS. EACH PARTY HAS A CHOICE OF INITIATING ARBITRATION BEFORE EITHER THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) OR JAMS, WHICH ARE BOTH ESTABLISHED ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVIDERS (“ADR PROVIDERS”). IF NEITHER AAA NOR JAMS IS AVAILABLE TO ARBITRATE, WE WILL AGREE TO SELECT AN ALTERNATIVE ADR PROVIDER TO ADMINISTER THE ARBITRATION IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

ARBITRATION RULES. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE CONDUCTED UNDER THE AAA CONSUMER ARBITRATION RULES (AVAILABLE AT WWW.ADR.ORG) OR JAMS STREAMLINED ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES (AVAILABLE AT WWW.JAMSADR.COM) (“ARBITRATION RULES”).

FEES. PAYMENT OF ALL FILING, ADMINISTRATIVE, AND ARBITRATOR FEES WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE ARBITRATION RULES.

THE ARBITRATOR WILL ISSUE A WRITTEN AWARD AND REASONED STATEMENT OF DECISION DESCRIBING THE ESSENTIAL FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS ON WHICH THE AWARD IS BASED, INCLUDING THE CALCULATION OF ANY DAMAGES AWARDED. THE ARBITRATOR HAS THE SAME AUTHORITY TO AWARD RELIEF ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THAT A JUDGE IN A COURT OF LAW WOULD HAVE. ANY AWARD WILL BE SUBJECT TO JUDICIAL CONFIRMATION OR ENTRY IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION.

GOVERNING LAW. THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND FEDERAL ARBITRATION LAW.

SURVIVABILITY. GYM 1801 AND I AGREE THAT THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WITH CLASS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIM ARISES OUT OF ACTS OR OMISSIONS THAT OCCUR BEFORE OR AFTER THE TERMINATION OF ANY MEMBERSHIP OR SERVICE OR THAT OCCUR BEFORE OR AFTER THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

12) SEVERABILITY. I AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITY AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WITH CLASS ACTION WAIVER, IS INTENDED TO BE AS BROAD AND INCLUSIVE AS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
