Like any sport, strength training involves an element of risk. The following recommendations
will help to ensure that training is as productive and safe as possible.
Prior to embarking on any strength training program,
it is recommended that each user consult with a
physician.
All training sessions should be supervised by trained
personnel.
Be sure all warning labels are read and understood by
each user.
It is very important that all users be instructed on the
proper use of CYBEX Strength Systems products.
Pay close attention to the following:
• Set up and alignment for each individual entry and
exit from the unit
• Proper form
• Use of seat belts, safety catches and other safety
features
To minimize the chance of injury:
• Do not lean on the weight stack or other moving
parts
• Keep clear of safety catches, belts and pulleys
• Have a spotter present
• Exercise within physical capabilities and
anatomical limitations
• Do not exceed any exercise or movement
restrictions prescribed by a doctor, therapist
or trainer. This is particularly important for those
at risk due to:
-- Known heart disease
-- Known hypertension
-- Obesity
Instruct all users to report any equipment irregularity or
personal injury to supervisory personnel immediately.
