Take a <a href=\"http:\/\/clubindustry.com\/24-hour-fitness\/new-york-judge-denies-24-hour-fitness-motion-dismiss-injury-lawsuit\" target=\"_blank\">recent lawsuit<\/a> filed in a California court. The case involved a man who allegedly acquired a knee injury when he jumped and landed on a defective floor board at a Levittown, New York 24 Hour Fitness in January 2014. The man, at the time of the injury, had been participating in an activity offered by the club.<\/p>\n<p>The health club\u2019s response to the complaint was not to take responsibility, but rather to put the blame back on the club patron by arguing that he assumed the risk of injury by engaging in the activity offered by the club. The fitness center also denied that there was any defect, claiming it conducted regular inspections.
