Fitness & Facilities

When a member gets hurt, the inspection log is your defense.

A member tears a cable mid-set or a treadmill belt lets go, and the first question their lawyer asks is: when did you last inspect this machine? A timestamped inspection log is the difference between documented reasonable care and an open checkbook. Walk the floor the way a claims adjuster would — belts, cables, pins, collars, flooring, AED — tag what fails, photograph it, and sign off. The record builds itself.
