Regular physical exercise is an important part of maintaining
health and fitness. People exercise in various locations, such as
their local park, running along coastal tracks, or training at home
or at a commercial gym. But with exercise comes the risk of
sports-related or gym injuries.
Gyms often unstaffed and unsupervised
As the Covid pandemic fades into distant memory, people are
returning to gyms nationwide to get into shape and lose the Covid
kilos. The fitness industry in Australia comprises over 6,000 gyms
and fitness centres and is worth over two billion dollars.
Many of these facilities operate 24 hours a day, seven days a
week, and are often unstaffed. Gone are the days of gym staff and
instructors roaming the gym floor, correcting techniques, giving
advice, and keeping the gym safe and tidy.
