Finish the job

Yesterday the fitness room was in the worst shape since we moved here. I witnessed another man trip and almost fall while trying to navigate around the clutter on the floor. That makes three people just this week who I've seen trip and almost fall while trying to navigate around and/or through the fitness room.

Today the fitness room is in as good a shape as I've seen it for months. Now it's time to finish the job.

More than two months ago I spoke with Yalexa and Aseil on two separate occasions about the dangerous situation in the fitness room. I suggested moving weights, weight benches, barbells, etc. away from the path between the two doors. 

It's  simple. Because invariably it's weight benches, weights and/or barbells blocking the path between the door from the hall and the door to the empty exercise room, move all of the weight paraphernalia (benches, weights, barbells, etc.) to the far (outside window) side of the room. Exercise bikes and treadmills will stay pretty much where they are now. Move the ellipticals in line with the treadmills (3 treadmills + 2 ellipticals). The remaining space at the window end of the room can be used for the rest of the weight paraphernalia and storage (crates, exercise mats, large exercise balls, folding chairs, etc.)

The path between the two doors in the exercise room has a better chance of being clear of tripping hazards with the weight paraphernalia and storage at the far (window) end of the room, away from the path between the two doors.

Simple.

Inconsiderate residents who don't return exercise equipment to its proper place, the management company and owners prefer to see someone fall and get hurt, and deal with the lawsuit that will follow, than to prevent the accident before it happens.
