Gyms – at least one of each type of exercise machine must be positioned for use by a person in a wheelchair.
Can someone explain to me how this works in a weight room w limited space?

How about the hack squat machine, calf raise, T-Bar Row, etc?

Actually, there are people in wheelchairs who can still squat and use the leg extension. They just can't walk on their own, but they still have strength in their legs to do basic movements. I've seen a few guys at the gym do this.

That rule from the ADA has actually been around for a number of years. Nothing new, nothing to see, and nothing to bitch about.

Never seen a wheelchair-bound person in my gym. Life is their workout, I figure. But, you carry on with the butthurt.

What this should tell you is that Obama can cause a lot of hassle for everyone even with no Congressional action.
He can nitpick everything in our lives, including our tax returns -- all without Congress' okay. Too many people think Congress can keep him in line, and it ain't so.

Make fun of it all you want, but a lot of mom and pop gyms that are already in trouble won't be able to do this. Same with putt-putt, many golf courses, etc...

Fuck Obama.

Oslama is a fucking c unt! HTH!

i have seen a one legged guy in the gym, he didnt need wheelchair.
i mean, why dont obama have some gyms built for disabled people only instead?
Those gyms won't last. Not enough disabled people to join gyms and make money.

This is very true, if it is just respacing the equipment to accommodate chairs, etc..... they might be able to do it, but if they have to buy special stations, they're in a tough spot. For instance, handicapped modified benches are usually $2000 - 3000, I imagine other modified equipment is priced similar.
Here, toward the middle of the page, is a suggested gym lay out to meet the guidelines -

These pieces of shit in the govt cant even balance their own damn books yet they think they know how to run a gym.
Incredible. 99.5% of te people have to be inconvienced for .05%. Ridiculous.
-
Am i not suppose to take a piss in the handicap Stalls ??? ???
i always go for those first because its wider, they tend to make the other stalls more narrow to make the cripples stall bigger ... oh well at least dude is in a chair sitting outside waiting for me to finish my shit,

Fuck yes, the leg room in those things is awesome.

yet apparently there are enough to regulate that gyms already in business must accomadate them in every way...
this speaks to the heart of liberal logic...
-
Fuck Obama.
Yeah, how horrific to make gyms wheelchair accessible so people who were born with no legs or can't walk can work out and reap the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
Obviously, you have no empathy for people with physical disabilities.
Might as well get rid of all ramps and elevators so people who cant walk CANT GO ANYWHERE!!! JUST LET THEM SIT HOME EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THEIR LIVES.
FILT!

nobody is talking about ramps bud, they are talking about equipment...
does the govt regulate that car makers must make factory cars that are for the disabled?
Some gym equipment doesnt suit me b/c of angles, length of limbs etc.
Should the govt regulate that gyms need to have pieces of equipment for ppl of all sizes too?
this is fuking ridiculous.

The only reason I really want this law to pass is to piss off coach because then he will have to change his equipment, then he will make a post on GB and meltdown about Obama.

Galenko said it best.
If an individual has special needs, it might be more appropriate to build gyms for individuals with special needs.
I believe that this new 'rule' will force a few gyms out of business and for some reason I hate it when any big government steps in and forces any business to go out of business with decisions such as this.
But then again I'm not against people in wheel chairs training in the typical gyms, but special needs often require special gyms which may prove to be cost prohibited in may cases.
nn
I guess my main concern is .... How many businesses wll this put out of business if they cannot comply due to financial reasons?

The coach is a billionaire and owns about 8 boats and 7 houses. He will not go out of business.

Yeah, I'm sympathetic to folks that need ramps, perhaps a bit of extra room around the major stations, and help adjusting & loading machines, but I don't feel a small business should have to revamp their entire business model to accommodate any and all things. I also hate the fact that folks with make-believe illnesses with probably latch on to this type of stuff.

SO if you can't comply, someone comes down and locks you up??!
Or you get sued by 140 guys in chairs who would have joined your club if you did comply?
Or one class action suit representing thousands?
Shit! I'd just close shop and play a guitar on the Venice Beach Walk.

Quiet dummy and understand this. Not every gym is made for every person but each city and county.has their.own.code for handicapped access. Depending on the size and capacity of the space itself, it requires no such code. Most gym owners know to keep access just so people don't run into each other and get their asses sued. Your boy is to FUCKING stupid go even realize this, it would be a liability. This is just another scam to steal more money from us. But if you want, feel free to adds little in you next tax payment.

What is the difference between "weather" and "whether" and use it in a sentence. My 8 year old cousin did. Also, coming from a guy who believes the earth is 10,000 years old. And I am the dummy?
Go grab some more sweaty men in the gym :D :D
You sound exactly what Jesus Christ would want you to sound like it. If he was around he would think you're disgusting FILTH!! You're going to burn in hell for all eternity for your greed. One of the seven deadly sins.

More liberal bullshit skate. Surely you can come up with a better argument than that? or do you even have a lick of commonsense?

Um, Obama paid for my mortgage and put gas in my car. Don't freaking lie, you know you took money from obama to help pay for your mortgage, coach. Lying freaking FILT!
ps - I do not cling to any ideologies.

You seem to back Obama's (liberal) ideologies in almost every political thread you chime in on. BTW, was that your mom in that video?

Obviously, I back Obama. I sent him a letter asking him to help pay for my gas and he sent me $28.56 cents. He also included a signed autograph picture of himself.
You don't seem to mind taking money from Obama to help pay your mortgage. Then you turn around and make fun of him. Real nice of you, Coach ::) ::)
-
I'm good, Obama can suck my d**k.

Sure, sure, tell that to him after he helped you out. Now make it seem like you do not need him. ::) ::)

He's paying my mortgage? Then why is there $5687.00 missing from my checking account every month?
-

Um, because you spend it on other stuff, like ropes for your gym.
You own your own business, so we all know that Obama is secretly helping you out. I bet you even have private communications with him, and play it off like you hate him! FILT! ::) ::)
-
Because you're getting ripped off?
Nah, I'd be getting ripped off if I had got into an ARM instead of a traditional load. If I would would have got an ARM (like most got suckered into) I'd be paying double or more when it was up.

Gee, it only took you forever to get my sarcasm ::) ::) A few months back you were getting all bent out of shape and obviously missing my sarcasm, despite other people saying "that Coach was obviously missing SF1900's sarcasm."
No fucking shit Obama doesn't pay for your mortgage, you idiot. ::) ::)
It's just fun trolling and seeing you meltdown and attempt to defend yourself against obvious sarcasm (why is there 5687 missing from my account?). Because you pay your mortgage? :D :D

And over Coaches head. We're the same height :o :o I always knew me and Coach shared a common bond. If I am in Cali, do you think he would let me train at his gym? :D :D

Coach would be like, "Lets set a trap for that damn dirty liberal (even though I am not a liberal)." Then he would rig the squat rack to fall on top of me or something. :o :o

We have 400, 600 and still need to bring the 900 from the other gym. No yolk yet but this guy has some killer prices and quality equipment. Got tired of getting taken by EliteFts.

Me too. I can squat a 45 on each side, though I don't squat any more.
Coach, your Doctor was drunk when he measured you. That or you were wearing lifts. :D
-
Funny, last time I went to the doc they added 1/2" to my height also.
LOL...my doc must have added 1 1/2". I always thought I was 5'6. My kid is was measured at 5'6 for school sports physicals and he was 5'6. I'm taller.

Some questions for Coach and other gym owners:
1. How much money will you have to spend in order to comply?
2. Can you 'convert' or adjust your present equipment to comply?
3. How many of your present members have special needs?
4. Do you anticipate a membership increase as a result of compliance?
6. Will that membership increase cover the cost of compliance within a three year time frame?
7. Does the current square footage of your gym allow you to comply without the removal of any of your present equipment?
8. Are gym owners considering any form of investment in companies that manufacture special needs equipment?
9. Were gym owners contacted by their state reos about this?
And for you Entrepreneurs - There seems to be a decent opportunity here for those of you who might be interested in openihg Special Needs Gyms as a business of your own.
And here are two suggestions that might give you the kick in the ass to get you srarted.
I am almost positive that the government has funds available to set you up in a full scale business such as this.
I am familiar with someone who opened a soup kitchenb as a non-profit and makes a substantial income each year ... and all very legal.
AND ... there are hundreds of athletes and former athletes who have been awarded "compensation" for their physical damage.
A lot of them would possibly want to get involved as investors.
I'm still very much against the President's decisioin and don't think that much thought went into it.
And I doubt that any of these decision makers have ever stepped into a gym outside of their multi million dollar country club.
And then ... they most likely entered with a Martini in one hand and a cigar in the other.
Then down those stairs and back to the bar.
And not one wheel-chair in the whole damn place!
