[SportsandRec] an ADA question

Happy Saturday to you all!

Thought I would see if any of you have had a similar situation and how much
success you had in resolving it.

I am currently training at the local YMCA and asked their "wellness
director" about attaching a few "dots" to one of each type of cardio machine
to get past the touch screen problem.  The stair climbers and ellipticals
have actual buttons for speed and elevation but the quick start function is
on a touch screen.  There is usually someone around to help me get started
but that's not the point.    I haven't heard back from her as of yet but am
thinking she just blew me off as its been a couple of weeks.  I don't like
pulling the "blind card" and saying, "you have to. It's the law." But would
like to have my facts if I have to.  I realize a privately owned gym like a
planet Fitness or La fitness might be able to say they are a private club
and  Blah, blah, blah. But wondering if a YMCA being more of a
comunity/public facility  might be some what different.

Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated.

Bill
