The Fitness Journal

One of the things that I have noticed training at my local gym, is that the level of supervision is very different to most modern gyms in Australia. In Australia we, the staff, were expected to be proactive and be on the lookout for training technique that is potentially dangerous. It doesn’t seem to be the same in the gyms I have visited here. This may not be Japan wide situation but the differences in litigation here may be a contributing factor. Another factor may be that, at the gym I train at, there is only a small free weights section and I am unsure if the staff know enough about picking up technique flaws in free weight training. Another possible factor could be cultural differences.

The differences are quite striking and some of the technique demonstrated here makes me cringe. It would certainly be discussed and corrected if it happened in Australia.
