ProMotion Fitness Center

From the best-​kept-​secret-​until-​now dept.: ProMotion Fitness is designed for people with disabilities, but anyone can join. My wife and I pay about $ 500/​yr for a two-​person membership, which gives us access to the heated swimming pool, the indoor track, the gymnasium (with basketball court — and yes, there are some talented basketball players in wheelchairs), and a gym full of equipment designed for various kinds of bodily abilities.
From the NuStep recumbent crosstrainers with optional foot straps and leg braces to the multtifunction weight machines designed to be used while sitting in a wheelchair (but also convenient for able-​bodied people), to the CrossFit station modified specifically to include wheelchair users, and the stationary hand-​bike (which works your arms as you work the pedals at shoulder height), there’s a wide variety of fitness equipment that we both enjoy using.
When the weather’s bad, there’s no better place to work out than ProMotion. The covered multi-​story garage is connected to the Shepherd Center hospital, so you won’t get even a drop of rain on you as you come in. You can run, walk, or wheel on the indoor track overlooking the basketball court and watch the fencing team or the murderball team practice. (If you haven’t seen murderball, go watch the documentary about it – a brutal and exhilarating sport, and I’m only speaking as a spectator.) The heated pool is open except for nearby lightning strikes, and you can shower in private stalls before weighing yourself on the wheelchair-​friendly scale. (You roll your wheelchair up onto the ramp, transfer out of it, and set the weight to zero before getting back in to see your own weight.)
Parking is free with a token from the security guard at the welcome desk (I assume there are people who have to pay the $ 1 fee, but I have no idea who they are), and there’s a cafeteria one floor away with some reasonably tasty food considering that it’s healthy. The only gripe I can think of – and I’ve been trying for a while — is that phone reception can be spotty in the workout room, situated as it is deep within a large building. That’s okay — I’d just as soon not be interrupted when I’ve hit my stride.
