The Next Frontier of the ADA: Fitness Facilities

The passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990 remains the most compelling and influential law supporting the rights of people with disabilities.

You can read more about efforts to make fitness centers more accessible to people with disabilities in the January 2010 newsletter of the National Center of Physical Activity and Disability.
