• \u2022Keep children, pets, and unrelated foot traffic away from the active workspace.

For tall or heavy fitness equipment, verify ceiling height and clearance before delivery \u2014 see our home gym setup page for common considerations. Please do not attempt to lift or relocate unusually heavy boxes by yourself.
