In Touch - Gold! At The Tokyo Paralympics; Gyms Doing Good Things
Download Gold! At The Tokyo Paralympics; Gyms Doing Good Things
Over the weekend, Team GB's visually impaired athletes won multiple medals: including gold across the cycling, swimming and judo. We check in with our reporter Mani Djazmi who brings us details of those medal wins and interviews with some of our gold medallists.
And there could be many reasons why you'd be put off visiting the gym. It could be perceived attitudes or thinking that gyms may not provide the necessary adaptations for you. Well, under the Equalities Act, it is a legal requirement for a gym or leisure centre to make reasonable requirements if you request them and tonight, we'll be hearing about a gym that have done just that for their visually impaired members. We promise we're not trying to push you into training like a Paralympic athlete, but instead would like to show you that getting active can be easier than you may think.
