what to do if I got hurt at work during my lunch break while using the company’s gym equipment?
I read online that in some states this injury would be covered under the company’s workman’s compensation insurance.

If you were hurt on the job using the company's gymnasium equipment then more likely than not you are covered under its worker's compensation policy. I suggest that you immediately report the matter to the human resources department at work to verify the injury.
