ACC

[Dyceast]

So can you claim ACC for an injury by saying you were working out at the gym?

[Andrew]

I don’t have the answer but if you can for any other sports injury then it should be the same for a gym injury

[Marcus]

Yes.

I just injured my arm and am goin to see the physio. The gym staff said if it happened at the gym (which no doubt it did-but its been playing up for a while) and I just say how it occured eg "bicep curls," the date, and time it happened I did it then ACC will cover all costs.

[Dyceast]

Cool.

Do you have to say you were training for some kind of sport? Or can it even be just because you wanted to do weights?

I just wanna make sure, before I go to the physio and say that I just went to the gym and mus of hurt it with wrong form etc. Then not get covered

[Marcus]

Bascially you don't mention anything about bad form. All you say is you were lifting weights & then injury occurred. They may ask you what type of exercise you were doing.

They'll just want to know the date, time & how it happened - you won't have to go into why you were doing that particular exercise.
