Simply put, it can very dangerous if you do not know what you are doing! However it can also be very safe if you are aided by a personal trainer, who knows his stuff! Upon joining a gym, your blood pressure will be taken, and if it is high, you will be sent to get a clearance from your local GP. If he gives the all clear for resistance training, the trainer will write you a specific program that will allow you to lift safely and reduce your blood pressure!
