The solutions for removing fitness facility barriers can be simple and low-cost (most often this is the case) or they can be more involved and costly. All possible solutions are important to think about because you want to be able to use the center fully and as soon as possible. In addition, you may want to have the facility have a temporary solution while they work on getting a better one in place.

Many of the barriers mentioned in this article are not directly covered by the ADA Accessibility Guidelines, such as lack of awareness among staff members regarding access to equipment.

Breaking down the process may make it easier for you to manage.
