Don’t risk losing all your hard work at the gym with an injury. Learn how to prevent common accidents to keep your workouts safe with these 7 simple tips

Listen to the doctor. If you have an existing medical condition, you may need to take extra precautions.
Don’t skip warm-ups and cool-downs.
Start off small, then gradually increase the intensity or repetitions of an exercise.
Learn and use a good technique for every exercise.
Get a spotter for lifting weights, especially for those lifting barbells.
Clear the area of objects so others fitness club members don’t trip.
Wipe down equipment after use. This prevents colds and germs spreading at the health club.

Corporate wellness programs often go over safety considerations, however, all gym goers should keep these tips in mind. If you haven’t found a fitness gym near you, have a look through our directory and compare various fitness centres near you.
