Claim for Gym Injury Compensation – If you have been injured in the gym and would like to talk to us about making a no win, no fee * gym injury claim, then please call us. We will assess your case individually and then inform you on whether there is a claim to answer.
How Accidents Can Happen in the Gym
By their nature, gyms in the UK contain complicated and heavy equipment with many moving components. Because of this, there is a high risk of injury. All gyms should have very strict guidelines and rules concerning health and safety. Well-trained employees are critical to this. However, these factor don’t eradicate the risk of personal injury completely. Gym injury claims for compensation will arise from issues such as:
- Badly maintained gym equipment
- Poorly trained staff
- Floors with slip and fall hazards such as liquids and mats
Even with the best will in the world, the best gym equipment, and the most highly trained instructors — accidents in the gym can still happen. If you have had a gym accident whilst exercising on third-party premises, then you have the right to seek out gym injury compensation. Providing that you can prove that you did not break the gym equipment or cause it to fail through abusive behaviour, then you should be able to make a claim for compensation if you are injured.
We have even successfully claimed for gym injury compensation where gym staff have not taken into account the health of our clients. By pushing them too hard, or into a routine not suitable for them, it has resulted in harm. Call us today if you want to know how much for a sports injury claim.

Personal Injury Claims for Home Gym Equipment
Not all gym injury claims are made from using third-party equipment and licensed premises. Occasionally we will also help clients with personal injury claims where they have had an accident on a piece of home gym equipment. These can be from:
- rowing machines
- cross trainers
- running machines
- vibration plates
- dumbbells
- weights
- exercise bikes
Any form of fitness equipment that you use in your home and that leads to injury can be claimed against for compensation. Every piece of fitness equipment that is legally sold and purchased on the UK consumer market should have passed strict safety testing and standards checklists. However, these products can still become faulty and malfunction, leading to sometimes serious injury or even death. We can also help and guide you on these kinds of fitness equipment injury claims.
The Gym Injury Claims Process
With the help of our solicitors **, making gym injury claims is very simple. Whilst we appreciate that you are probably reading this post-accident, there are some aspects to claiming for gym injury compensation that can make the process easier. We’ve listed them as follows:
