Hallo Mary
I've been looking at various pieces of equipment for a project in Glasgow
along with the City of Glasgow Leisure Services staff. I was particularly
interested in the controls and displays from the point of view of people
with vision and hearing difficulties rather than looking for 'adapted' or
specially designed equipment.
We also looked at the proposed layout of the gym not only for physical
access but for lines of vision, accoustics and a lack of 'in your face'
layouts so that people who may feel intimidated by the gym environment
didn't always need to be facing other gym users.
We also requested induction looping in the dance studio.
cheers
