Staying Safe In The Gym During Unstaffed Hours
Gym on the Green operates 24/7, and there may be periods when no member of staff is physically present.
Members using the gym during unstaffed hours must take extra care and train responsibly.
Before Training
During unstaffed periods:
- Make sure you feel well enough to train.
- Avoid exercises you are not confident performing safely.
- Use appropriate safety equipment.
- Consider training with another person for heavy or higher-risk lifts.
- Make sure your phone is available in case you need to call for help.
Emergency Situations
If you or another member suffers a serious injury or medical emergency, call 999 immediately.
Give the emergency services the gym address:
Gym on the Green

Pill
Bristol

Follow any instructions given by the emergency services.
Fire or Evacuation
If the fire alarm sounds:
- Leave the gym immediately by the nearest safe exit.

Equipment Problems
If equipment appears damaged, faulty or unsafe:
- Stop using it immediately.
- Do not attempt to repair it yourself.
- Report it to the Gym on the Green team as soon as possible.
Security
Do not allow anyone you do not know into the gym using your access.
Do not prop open secure doors.
If you see suspicious behaviour or believe there is an immediate threat, leave the area if safe to do so and contact the police.
Training Alone
If you are training alone:
- Avoid taking unnecessary risks.
- Use safety arms or stops on racks where appropriate.
- Do not attempt heavy lifts beyond your normal ability without suitable safety measures.
- Keep your training area clear.
