In early June of this year I inspected all our exerersise machines for worn pads. These are the pads where your body sits, rests or pushes the various machines. I found some candidates and took pictures for our owner, Jason. The three machines were the Bear hack Squat, the Life Fitness leg curl, and the Paramount hyperextension. He agreed on the ones I found and I removed them from the exercise machines. They were taken to our upholstery vendor where they will get new covers.
Stop and look at all the exercise machines and benches at you gym and you may be surprised how may pads there are that can get worn.
