Gina Stelluti, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Casapenn Enterprises, LLC, D/B/A Powerhouse Gym, Defendant-Respondent, and…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division’s summary‑judgment ruling, holding that the pre‑injury waiver signed by Gina Stelluti is enforceable to bar ordinary negligence claims arising from her spin‑bike injury, but it does not protect the gym from reckless or willful misconduct. The Court rejected the argument that all liability waivers are per se invalid in private fitness centers and noted a dissent arguing the waiver should be void as against public policy.
