We want you to work out, but we want you to work out smarter. And frankly, working out in a gym can hurt your body!

According to the Independent, the most common gym injury is due to the treadmill. So, that statistic would also apply to your home gym–that is–if you aren’t using your treadmill to hold your clothes. However, the treadmill isn’t the only danger you’ll face at a gym. 

All gym equipment is a hazard, especially the weight machines used for crossfit training. According to Legal Match,”Between 1990 and 2007, over 970,000 people were treated in emergency rooms for weight training-related injuries.”
