Create and Publish a Waiver

Create a waiver, configure its signing rules, publish the first version, and make it available for members.

Before you start

  • Have your final waiver language reviewed by the appropriate legal or operations owner for your gym.

  • Decide whether this is the main signup waiver or an additional waiver sent only to certain members.

  • Decide whether signatures expire after 1 year, 2 years, never, or a custom number of days.

  • If the waiver only applies at certain locations, confirm those locations before publishing.

Create the waiver

  1. Go to Staff > Admin > Waivers.

  2. Choose New waiver.

  3. Enter a clear waiver name. This name is visible to staff and can appear in member-facing signing flows.

  4. Choose the expiration rule. Members will need to re-sign once the signature is no longer current.

  5. Choose whether to make this the signup waiver. The first waiver you create may default to signup behavior; later waivers can be additional waivers unless you explicitly make one the signup waiver.

  6. Keep Active checked when the waiver should be usable for signing and check-in gating.

  7. Enter the waiver text in the rich-text editor. The first publication creates version v1.

  8. Optional: add an orientation video URL from a supported video host. If you require watching before signing, members must confirm the video before submitting.

  9. For multi-location gyms, choose all locations or specific locations only.

  10. Save the waiver.

After saving

  • Open the waiver detail page and confirm the current version, settings, expiration, active state, location availability, and orientation video preview.

  • If this should be the waiver shown during signup, use Set as signup waiver when available. That makes this waiver the one used for the signup waiver role.

  • Go to Staff > Admin > Sign-up Flow and confirm that the relevant locations require the waiver step if members should sign during signup.

  • Send a test link to an internal member profile before relying on the waiver operationally.

Common issues and fixes

  • No published version appears: make sure the waiver text was saved when the waiver was created, or publish a new version from the waiver detail page.

  • Members do not see the waiver during signup: the selected signup location must require the waiver step, and the waiver must be active.

  • The video does not embed: use a supported YouTube, Vimeo, or Cloudflare Stream URL and test the preview on the waiver page.

  • The waiver should apply only at one gym location: edit the waiver and set availability to specific locations.
