-: If your fitness plans
include a gym membership,
let's take a look at how to find a gym
that's right for you.
A quick reminder.
Before you get started with any new exercise plan,
it's always a good idea to talk with your eye doctor.
For some people, heavy lifting, straining or rapid movement
could be a concern.
Your doctor can help you decide what's right for you.
Now, let's check out that gym.
When you find a place you're interested in,
ask for a tour from a staff member
or a friend who already goes there
so they can help you learn the layout
and you can get a feel for the place.
They can show you the different workout areas
you're interested in
and you can see how well the space works for you.
For example, are the pathways clear and wide?
If you create a mental map of the area
and machines you'd like to use,
that can help you decide whether this gym
is a good fit for you.
Ed: Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us,
we'd like to learn more about you,
your name, email address, how you heard about Hadley
and your relationship to vision loss.
Learning more will give us a better understanding
of how to personalize Hadley just for you,
and don't worry,
everything you share with us online
will be kept safe and secure.
Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions,
we're just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.
Taking these few steps saves your preferences
so you can continue right where you left off
and track your progress every time you log on,
plus it connects you to the Hadley community
and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free of charge.
And last but not least,
it gives you direct access to experts like me.
