Dave, educate yourself. Yes, there are abuses, but not all of them that you
think you see are. . There are people that have certain mobility problems
and go to the gym for upper body workout. That does not mean they can walk
any distance.

We lease space in our building at work to a gym. They have handicapped
parking and a ramp. They have many clients that go there for rehabilitative
work.
