Plans have been revealed to launch a “Gym Safety Council” (GSC) in the UK. The GSC aims to become a national body, dedicated to enhancing safety standards for both staff and members in gyms and leisure centres. The not-for-profit initiative has been founded by a collective of cross-sector experts, wanting to address “inconsistencies in safety practices and establish a benchmark for excellence”. The GSC’s mission is to create a “safer environment for everyone engaging in physical activity within commercial and domestic gym settings”
