[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. When she stumbled she looked for something to grab onto, and there was nothing there. I question the safety of the setup, with just a step, and nothing to grab and no effective spotter.[/quote]

NP here.  Sorry, but you are wrong.  If you are doing training in a gym, you don't want anything there.  In the majority of cases, if someone falls, falling onto a railing or support is likely to cause them more harm than help.  Supports and railings are provided in the case of physical or occupational therapy for people who have physical issues.

If your wife was not physically able or was prone to stumbling or injury, she needed to make her personal trainer aware of that before she started training.  If she did not, then the onus is on her.  If she had no physical issues or instability, then it was an accident, and no one, including the trainer and the gym was responsible for her stumble and accident.  And you are not owed to anything.  The fact that you think that the gym owes you some sort of compensation suggests and overly entitled attitude.  How would you feel if the gym canceled your membership and training without compensation for your wife endangering herself and others like someone trying to defraud a business by staging an accident?  That's just as ridiculous an argument as your contention that your wife stumbling and falling entitles you to some form or compensation.[/quote]
