Let me ask you…How long of a workout do you usually have in the gym? I spend fifteen minutes on four or five machines depending if I am working my upper or lower body that day! That is equivalent to 60 – 75 minutes total. I, like you, have the option to move from machine to machine. This man did not have that same option and had to do his entire workout on one machine because it was the only one accessible and than you and others have the nerve calling him rude and obnoxious for not giving up the one machine he is able to use. His membership to the club means he should have the same right to use all the equipment as you! Why didn’t you go to the management and complain there are not enough accessible equipment so everyone can get fit? Why is it that TABS (temporarily abled-bodied people) always think people with disabilities are rude or obnoxious when they are demanding to have the same rights as everyone else? Please look at the whole issue before passing judgement!
