Question

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Relocate power racks to the perimeter walls. Taller equipment (power racks) should be placed along perimeter walls, with shorter equipment (dumbbell benches) in the center. This creates a clear line of sight for supervision. Small elevation changes (Distractor 1) or staffing increases (Distractor 4) do not resolve structural blind spots. Mirrors (Distractor 3) supplement but do not replace proper layout.
