Best-equipped towns
Country-specific rules
In Switzerland, European standards are adopted under the SN EN reference. Compliance is voluntary, but after an accident, courts check in practice whether they were followed.
Good to know
- Warm up before you push hard: joints, shoulders and wrists first.
- Before you hang, check the bar doesn't spin and isn't loose in its fixings.
- Share the bars: offer to alternate sets rather than holding on to a station for your whole session.
