[NABS-L] Some Questions for These Who Work Out or Have Worked Out At their Campus Gym

[Justin Williams]

That's wha tI did also.   My first day in there, I  heard later that there
had been an employee who called the office for student disability to tell
them to tell me that I wasn't aloud to go to the gym.  The office tols them
that such was against the ADA.  I became a gym legend.

Hi Vejas,

When I started using the gym, I asked one of the employees to show me around
and teach me how to use all of the equipment. After that, I was able to use
the facilities on my own. As far as having a regular schedule, I generally
try to go in the late evening or early morning before classes started. You
can be pretty flexible with the gym time, I think. College campus gyms are
usually open pretty late.

campus gyms.

do you need sighted help to set up a machine? I know that I have a lot of
friends who would be willing to go with me at various times, but I don't
want to rely on them all the time.  I am more into moving equipment like the
treadmill, stairmaster and excercise bike, and also like swimming.

as a priority? Do you go on set days and times? My concern is that I might
start the semester wanted to go on certain days, but then have to attend
events and extracirriculars on these days.
