Moderation: Were ever in a Fitness Center? Have you ever seen handicap people there?
Probably not. Because most Fitness Centers are not barrier free. Renate Rummerstorfer and Maria Simma visited a Fitness Center to see how barrier free it was.
Speaker 1: The Life-Style-Club Holmes Place in the Vienna 22nd district, which tried to comply with the Ö-Norm for barrier free construction. This Ö-Norm ? B1600 describes barrier free construction in Austria, however many fitness studios this have construction failures in the area of barrier free.
Speaker 2: Different is the Life Style Club ?Holmes Place?. We visited it and formed our own picture. The business management pointed out that the club was built to be barrier free. They regret, that they have few handicap members. To attract people with handicaps they allow someone to escort them. So long as the escort does train themselves is their entrance free. We spoke with Personal Trainer Katharina Koller about the theme of barrier freedom.
OT Katharina Koller: ?Yes basically is it reality. There is an elevator, that stops at all floors, the fitness floor, the swimming pool and the bar. Assistance and advice is in every case guaranteed at Holmes place. Fitness coaches are continually on the floor who can help with problems with the fitness machines and their use.?
