Gym and Fitness Class Risk Assessment

About this document

What it’s for

Employers must assess the risks to employees and others affected by their business, and businesses with five or more employees must record the significant findings. For a gym, that includes the risks to members. This template is pre-filled with common gym hazards and controls so you can adapt it to your site rather than starting from scratch.

When to use it

  • When opening a new site or area
  • When introducing new equipment, classes or unstaffed hours
  • At least annually and after any serious accident or near miss

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Part 2 – Action plan

How to complete it

  • Walk the site with a member of staff and check every hazard and control against what actually happens
  • Delete what does not apply and add site-specific hazards
  • Record actions with owners and dates, and share the findings with staff

Key points to check

  • Assess fire separately in your fire risk assessment
  • Use separate assessments for pools, saunas, climbing walls and other specialist areas

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
