Who is to blame?

He owed you a duty of care since there is a contractual relationship between you (buyer and seller) and due to the nature of the activity. A reasonable person would have made sure something as obvious as a part sticking out would harm your vehicle.
I would ask for a discount off the homegym to offset the damages you suffered.
