office gym

We have a new building which will be occupied next month and I am in the throes of preparing all the procedures, polices, risk assessments etc.

There is going to be a proposed gym put into the building. It's not there yet, but will not be far behind. I am going to prepare risk assessment and the like but I have a few questions I'm sure you good folks will be able to help with.

1. If the provider of the gym equipment (trained person), trained one of our people to induct new people to the gym, will this cover us legally?

2. We want to make sure that if people use the gym, they are healthy enough to use said equipment. Now I know we can't ask them directly if they have any specific conditions etc that may be affected by the equipment, but can we some sort of health questionnaire which they sign which will cover our duty of care, and theirs? If so, anyone know of any out there I could use?

3. We will need to put a maintenance plan in place to cater for the equipment and probably some general safety rules. Has anyone had to set this up and have any advice on what we should be putting in there for people to read and look at?

Any help gratefully received as I've not tackled an on site gym before and really want to make sure we cover everything we need to.

Privacy and health and safety obligations, and the consequences of getting them wrong, can be pretty serious. I suggest getting professional advice rather than asking a football forum. Happy to put you in touch with some people if you want to send me a message. 

good reply!
The level of fitness is often associated with weight, which is fundamentally wrong. Being in shape is a rather subjective concept, which includes strength, health and well-being. All of this, as it turns out, has little to do with the arrow of the scale. Of course, obesity comes with increased health risks https://enrgifitness.com/the-evolution-of-fitness/. Clinicians continue to debate whether exercise alone can reduce the likelihood of disease without losing weight. But more and more scientists are leaning toward the idea that sports are healthier than losing weight.
