In a previous life, you earned your dual degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Basket Weaving. You are desperate to bring your unique skills to the table and create your own version of a flexible, organic resistance blade. What is the PRIMARY reason for Group Fitness Instructors (GFIs) to avoid the use of “homemade” equipment in classes?
  1. The liability to the GFI would be greater if a person using “homemade” equipment was injured
  2. The GFI should never be financially responsible for the cost of constructing or purchasing equipment
  3. Class members tend to gauge the value of their class by the caliber of equipment provided
  4. The exercise experience may be inconsistent if the equipment used is not standardized
Explanation
Answer: A - Group Fitness Instructors should avoid the use of homemade equipment as their liability is greater if that equipment causes injury to a person exercising under their care. Homemade equipment may function well in the short run, but using jerry-rigging equipment in off-label ways may lead to greater exposure to liability even in the absence of actual harm.
