Exercise machines. (Section-by-Section Analysis)

Sections  206.2.13 and 236 of the 2004 ADAAG require one of each type of fixed exercise machine to meet clear floor space specifications and to be on an accessible route.  Types of machines are generally defined according to the muscular groups exercised or the kind of cardiovascular exercise provided.
