What are liabilities of running an onsite fitness center?

Employee gyms are a tremendous liability. Fitness club members drop weights, trip over or fall off machines, and get injured in exercise classes. They damage machines with incorrect use. There are significant concerns about how participants use onsite gym facilities. More than 464,000 injuries occur each year, related to exercise and fitness equipment. 52% of injuries are related to free weights, and 36% are related to fitness classes.

Hiring pre-screened, certified instructors and finding safe, and reliable equipment is just the beginning. Strive has comprehensive liability insurance coverage that fully-indemnifies our clients of risk. We prioritize safety, which is reflected in our internal safety policies for staff, services, and facility management.
