Grace DeSimone has been in the fitness industry for over 30 years and brings a variety of experiences in commercial, corporate and community settings. If you've recently joined a gym, you might have some questions about how safe it is.
Not just safety in terms of how stable the equipment is or the overcrowding of a fitness class, but also feeling safe in the company of the people surrounding you.
The gym is usually a place where people like to go to relieve stress, tension, and escape from the hectic day.
That becomes a bit more difficult if you feel uncomfortable about using certain equipment or if someone is side-eying you from across the weight room.
Fitness experts, Grace Desimone and Neal Pire, discuss how you can stay safe at your gym.
