Making fitness -- even on the road -- universally accessible

This article got me to thinking. Many hotels and resorts hype their fitness facilities. But how many have areas that are accessible -- a lot of fitness rooms are crowded into a small space -- or have the right equipment for someone, say, who is a wheelchair user? Looks like Dr. James Rimmer, director of the National Center on Physical Activity & Disability, and a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, may one day help the situation. "In January, Rimmer and a group of doctors and advocates launched the Inclusive Fitness Coalition to urge private health clubs and gyms to make universal accessibility part of their basic service."
