Abstract: To finding out on identifying the prevalence of hypotension among gym-goers after using a treadmill. The findings aim to help fitness Professionals and Physiotherapists ensure safer exercise practices and prevent health risks in gym settings A cross-sectional study was conducted in Kota, Rajasthan, involving 100 gym-goers aged between 18 to 30 years. Participants who exercised at least 4 days per week and met the inclusion criteria were recruited using random sampling. Blood pressure was recorded before and at intervals post-treadmill exercise. Data were collected via Google Forms and physical monitoring, and analysed using statistical tools to assess mean, median, mode, and standard deviation. Blood Pressure readings (before and after treadmill use) Heart Rate changes Severity grading of hypotension (none, moderate, severe) Out of 60 analysed responses showing symptoms: 14 participants (23.33%) showed no hypotension, 24 participants (40%) showed moderate hypotension, and 22 participants (36.67%) experienced severe hypotension. Participants in the 21–25 age group showed higher susceptibility, with severe hypotension linked to rapid BP drops post-exercise. The findings confirm that a significant portion of gym-goers experience hypotensive episodes following treadmill use. This highlights the need for pre- and post-exercise blood pressure monitoring, trainer awareness, and safer exercise protocols to ensure cardiovascular safety in gyms.
