Legal Question in Entertainment Law in New York

Fitness Program

Hello gurus, I am a fitness instructor working within a fraternity (non-profit organization) to bring a fitness event to a college campus. This event will be two months long and will incorporate various exercise routines in addition to educational workshops. Aside from a physical from a physician, what documentation would I need to provide or have participants sign off on to ensure that I or the school wouldn't get sued for an injury?
