Broken, neglected or just plain nasty equipment will ruin the vibe - and safety - of any exercise class. Which of the following would be the BEST method to prevent the use of damaged equipment in a group class setting?
  1. Remove the equipment from the group exercise space or lock it in a secure location that is not accessible to participants
  2. Hang a large sign on the main entry door directing participants to avoid use of equipment placed in the back of the room
  3. Hang a sign over the most visible location on the equipment alerting the participants that the piece is out of order
  4. Complete a work order requesting that the equipment be removed and serviced prior to the next class
Explanation
Answer: A - Any exercise equipment that is obviously deteriorating, damaged or functioning improperly should be removed from the group exercise space or locked in a segregated location that is not accessible to participants. If the equipment is too large to move, an alternative option is to place a large conspicuous sign on the equipment that alerts people that the equipment is “out of order” and that use could result in injury. Often, it is the Group Fitness Instructors responsibility to follow up with the appropriate staff person regarding equipment status; however, their primary responsibility is to remove the equipment from use during class.
