Barriers

Solutions

Simple/Low cost

Involved / High cost

Staff is hard to find when you need help

Work out a signal with one or two staff members who will be in the area where you might need help

Staff should wear clearly visible uniforms that are different from the clothes that members usually wear and that contrast with the surroundings (e. not black)

Staff and other members leave exercise equipment and other "stuff" on the floor in the gym area that could trip you

Post signs to remind people not to leave exercise equipment or other stuff on the floor

Assign specific staff to keep the floor areas clear of tripping hazards

Staff is unaware of the needs of people with visual disabilities

Discuss your specific needs with the staff members with which you work

Facility should train all staff members on disability issues
