I personally don’t believe we can do anything against the club for the following reasons
- The club is an international chain and in this business for a very long time
- I know the trainers there and they are qualified in sports. Most of them have even masters in physical training. They can easily prove that in any court.
- To give first aid or not is the discretion of a person. The club is there to give fitness facility and not a hospital.
- Everyone has signed more than 10 pages contract (yes, I mean it - it’s a contract valid for one year and automatically renewed) with the person and the club while joining the club. These contracts are prepared by specialists (with the previous experience of club) and no one really read this. I have taken a copy of that and it clearly states that club will not be responsible for a death caused due to my health issues or improper use of club facilities.
Still it is better to approch the authorities and if these kinds of accidents are covered with any insurences, that may help.
