That’s ridiculous. More like the gyms are pocketing profits and not maintaining equipment and people are getting injured.

Enough to more than pay for counseling.

op here. To respond to the people who said I’m being too dramatic—have you ever been in a car accident where the damage was fairly minor but you were upset anyway because it’s scary when it happens ? That’s how it was.


You weren’t in a car accident. You got a bruise because the pedal came off. If I were you, I wouldn’t go there again and I would ask for a refund of any remaining classes. Other then that, they don’t owe you anything because you just got a bruise.

It shouldn't take someone hurting themselves to perform routine maintenance.

When I went to the desk on the day of the accident the manager on duty literally shrugged her shoulders. I am not looking for some big payout. I just want somebody to give a damn. And for the people who made fun of the bruise--it's not minor--it's seven inches long and purple like an eggplant--it's not like I banged my shin on a coffee table.


take pictures and post your story.

be glad you didnt break something.

I don’t understand the responses telling PPs to ask for a few months comp. That is a slippery slope and sets a precedent. All of a sudden people will want comps for getting a scrape or for bumping their head. I don’t know why a gym would go along with giving comps like this for these reasons. Accidents happen and they’re more likely to happen at a gym. That’s why you sign a contract to say you assume the liability.

Really OP you sound way over the top. Fwiw if you do approach the gym for "compensation" for your abject terror and your agonizing injury, try to find a more sensible way to present your case.
