First Coast YMCA - Fleming Island Branch - Lack of Stretching Tables
The Issue
During the recent redesign of the Fleming Island gym, one of the two stretching tables was removed. This has created a major issue, especially for senior citizens who have trouble getting down to the floor in order to stretch.
Furthermore, this has created a bottleneck at the one remaining stretching table that everyone has to use. This table has a capacity of two people at one time.
This is clearly inadequate and multiple attempts by YMCA members and local staff have been met with deaf ears by First Coast YMCA management.
This petition is to convince them that the right thing to do AND comply with ADA requirements is to replace the former stretching table that was there.
Also of interest is that the Williams YMCA located in Mandarin has two stretching tables and works just fine for the community.
