On that link, it’ll ask you to put an emergency contact in case something were to happen to you while working out, they know who to contact. 

After putting your emergency contact you will have to read over the rules and requirements needed to be in the gym. 

You have to fill out a physical readiness questionnaire, just for them to know if you have any medical conditions like, heart problems, asthma, dizziness, or pain in your joints and bones. 

At the end you have to read an assumption of risk, to be aware of any risks, it is a very simple form to fill out. 

“Everyone should register for the wellness center by going online and filling out the simple forms,” said Timothy Vagen, Personal Fitness Trainer program manager.
