Connect waivers to onboarding

Waivers should be easy to connect to trial students, new members, minors, and event participants. Staff should be able to see whether required forms are complete before class participation.

Guardian workflows need extra care

Schools with kids programs should verify parent or guardian consent flows, document storage, and staff visibility. These details vary and should not be assumed.

Manual verification needed

  • Verify guardian consent and document storage for each related provider.

Software does not replace legal review

Gym software may help collect and store waiver forms, but waiver wording and legal requirements should be reviewed separately for the gym's location.
