Most equipment in the strength and conditioning areas can be used by patrons with disabilities. In particular, the following equipment is specifically designed to be ADA compliant:
-
- Several pieces of FreeMotion equipment, along with two Life Fitness dual adjustment pulley systems, allow an individual using a wheelchair or in a seated position to perform a wide variety of resistance training exercises.
- The SciFit upper body ergometer is an upper body hand cycle with multiple programs and heart rate monitoring.
- While dumbbells are not considered an ADA compliant exercise device, it is well documented that experienced strength trainers with disabilities can perform a multitude of strength training exercises with this equipment.
Please remember that the Strength & Conditioning Area staff are there to assist all patrons. Just ask any staff member for assistance, or if you are interested in the services of a personal trainer, please visit the Member Services desk in the lobby of the Rec Center.
