February 16, 2025 at 9:54 amI was using my bench press machine. And for my own safety if somehow I can’t lift the barbell so I could unrack on my own I didn’t clip it. I usually do this at other gyms when I don’t have a spotter.My brother had the same incident at the gym only that he didn’t break the glass because he knew the glass was so close so he struggled to unrack it and got stuck under the barbell. So someone noticed him being stuck and gave him quick assistance.While lifting I got exhausted and had to unrack it orelse I would have gotten stuck. My plates hit the mirror and cracked it at its bottom. I know it was my mistake. The gym owner said that this happened three times before and that the client paid the full amount for the repairs. My question is, if this has happened more than 3 times why aren’t they changing the equipment location? No one goes to the gym to intentionally damage their property. If the same has happened more than 3 times it’s a pattern and negligence on their part too as I understand. They are asking me to cover the whole bill and said that last time they took 15K.

Usually brands have insurance and budget for wear & tear.-

February 16, 2025 at 11:52 amNo the manager started behaving rudely. I didn’t want to create anymore scene because my father was also present there. And before I could start arguing about money my father came into terms with their request and paid 10K. Even I wasn’t able to hold a proper composure talking to the manager so I came out and let my father talk. They reduced it to 10K only after I left. I feel awful π

February 16, 2025 at 10:00 amIn my gym, I accidentally completely shattered an entire wall mirror while deadlifting. The owner never charged me a penny. Another dude broke another mirror, he was still chill about it-

February 16, 2025 at 10:11 amThey should have insurance. You’re using the facilities as you should, not clipping when not using a spotter is common. Don’t pay. Record evidence that it has happened three times prior to this, and then you have proof that it’s happening because of a design fault.-

February 16, 2025 at 12:13 pmEnquiring them to show me their insurance policy just led to an argument. They started arguing there is no insurance for that and that only the gym equipment damage cost is covered. Evidence of them saying it 3 times is not recorded. But the proximity of the equipment and damage is there. There is nothing I can do now though. Cash has already been paid. And if I raise a complaint, I am afraid my membership might get cancelled.

February 16, 2025 at 12:00 pmYou break it, you pay for it. Itβs pretty universal across all shops and industries. Own your actions, be an adult and pay for it.This is the civic sense we complain about as Indians.

February 16, 2025 at 12:56 pmUse safety bars in the rack idiot. Leave alone the damaged glass, you can damage your ribs or throat.-

February 16, 2025 at 1:07 pmπ«‘ couldn’t reach the safety bars. My hands gave out mid way racking it so I tried shifting the weight to unload it. Huge mistake. Only this gym keeps their bench press machine so close to the mirror.
