There are a lot of people here in Hawaii who are very concerned about what their beach bodies look like. To reach the goal of looking fit and attractive, many homeowners have decided to invest in their own home gym. To be sure, home exercise equipment can be a great idea – but is there anything a homeowner should be concerned about when it comes to their home gym?
In short, yes. Most exercise equipment includes moving parts and/or electrical power. These are fundamental features that make exercise equipment useful and enjoyable. However, they can also introduce safety hazards, particularly when there are small children living in the home. Moving parts introduce pinch points. Unseen children can easily be struck by an exercising adult. Power cords can become strangling or shock hazards. Even a simple weight left carelessly on the ground can cause major damage to a passerby who kicks it with their foot. Why not take a quick look at your home gym to see if it’s a safe place?
