[nfbmi-talk] Questions about Public Gym

[Donna Posont]

My experience at the gym was that they wanted to label the machine so they 
did not have to help me every time. I don't know if it is required, but as 
one who fell off the tredmill at home three weeks ago and got hurt I will 
not be using one again until I am sure which button is which. Just a little 
braille can bring such joy and independence.

Hello Everyone,
Now that I am back at school campus, I have been going to the gym here.  I 
can use the buttons on the machines a little.  But as I was working out, I 
was reminded at National Convention how nice it was to have a few buttons 
labeled in braille so I could find them quick and really know what they did 
without experimenting.  Now if these were my own machines I wouldn’t ask, 
but should public gyms allow a blind person to label a few buttons here and 
there in Braille?
I just wanted to know what people thought before I asked a manager or 
someone about it.  Is it required or is it just something you can only do 
with your personal machines?
Just asking
Have a wonderful day,
Kim Mohnke
