The
Americans with disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA)
Over 54 million
Americans with physical or mental impairments
that substantially limit daily activities are
protected under the ADA. These activities include
working, walking, talking, seeing, hearing, or
caring for oneself. People who have a record of
such an impairment and those regarded as having
an impairment are also protected.
ADA fitness equipment
must adhere to a series of guidelines for leisure
goods manufacturers which have been issued and
those that adhere to the guidelines may often
quote their position to ADA in their marketing
material.

ADA fitness equipment
such as Vortex fitness equipment is an example
of being "ADA compliant" - Their ADA
fitness equipment units are ADA compliant (100%
handicapped accessible and user friendly to them).
This allows small business owners the ability
to apply for the ADA tax credit for what amounts
to a 50% refund of what you spend to buy one (up
to$5,000 off you tax bill!). Check with your tax
advisor. That's also a big difference and a big
benefit the Vortex units offer.
