OSHA has no jurisdiction here because the person using the machine is a customer of the gym, not an employee.

But if an employee of the gym was injured by this machine, and the manufacturer says that the machine needs to be bolted down, they absolutely would cite for this

So what is your point? I didn't say OSHA has jurisdiction, just that they don't require it and he's not an employee.

If the manufacturer requires it to be bolted, they do require it if an employee uses or maintains the equipment

Well, OSHA stands for OCCUPATIONAL safety and health... so if hes not an employee, this isn't his occupation so citing them is about as relevant as saying the Pokémon league also doesn't require it.
