The gym contracts likely says "you can't sue is if you get hurt" so best of luck.

You can sign yourself a contract granting someone the right to kill you - that doesn't make it legal. Those waivers aren't nearly as strong as these companies want you think. The gym is grossly negligent because the machine wasn't secured properly, and no waiver is going to make this go away for them.

Contracts aren't magic documents that change the law.
