High school age, I've got no problem with them. I went to gyms around that time, and sadly, I did better on some of those machines THEN than I do now (definitely was stronger on bench and military press).
Small children haven't any business being in a gym, and even worse unsupervised. There's a reason hotel gyms have disclaimers of 'exercise at your own risk' - you CAN get hurt, and I *have*. If I've managed to crush my finger or jam my toe into some bit of equipment, what's to stop a little kid from doing it? I'm trying to be careful and it still happens. When did a child ever try to be careful, unsupervised?
What would happen to that gym area if a kid got a finger caught in the side of a treadmill, or one of those weights smacked down on his fingers?
