More details to this question:
I sustained a concussion, whiplash, vision and jaw issues. I have used this gym for a month and even used one of their personal trainers to show me how to use the equipment. The part that caused the injury - snapped and broke causing me to fall flat of my back and head to a concrete floor. I feel the equipment was not inspected for it to break like it did as I had used it many times prior. (Vertical pull ups) I am still having issues with my injuries and would like for them to at least pay for my deductables/copays and time loss at work and for my gym membership that I cannot use at this time. I am under the care of a Neurologist, Optomologist, Dentist and PCP because of my injuries.

Gyms need to regularly inspect their equipment to make sure they do not pose injury hazards.
You should contact a local personal injury attorney (one in your state). Personal injury attorneys take cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed. Additionally, initial consultations are free. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research personal injury attorneys. Then, visit each attorney's website and select a firm that has a record of successful verdicts.
