Gordon Silber, P.C., New York (William L. Hahn of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Andrias, J.P., Gonzalez, Moskowitz and DeGrasse, JJ.
Defendant met its burden of establishing entitlement to judgment, and plaintiff failed to raise a triable issue of fact in opposition ( Papadopoulos v Gardner's Vil., 198 AD2d 216). By voluntarily participating in a fitness and exercise program at defendant's studio for five years before her accident, including use of the equipment on which she was injured, plaintiff consented to and was aware of the risks commonly associated with this activity ( Morgan v State of New York, 90 NY2d 471). Defendant's loss of plaintiff's client index card was not crucial to her case, so spoliation sanctions were not appropriate ( Bach v City of New York, 33 AD3d 544).
