Fitness - Workout Partner (self.Blind)
submitted by TheNewStreet
Hello, r/Blind
We haven't officially met before. I've done tandem rides with blind partners and volunteered in my spare time, but wanted to ask if anyone has heard of programs where workout partners assist the blind. I realize that logistically it may be very difficult to commute to/from the gym, but I figured this would be a great place to ask.
I am in San Diego, California if this helps. I workout early in the morning at 24 hour fitness and would be happy to help anyone looking to get in the gym. It certainly has impacted my life

Wish you were in London. I’ve been asking local gyms for the past year. Haven’t had the confidence to go back since losing my sight.

I would definitely encourage you to ask the staff to put a sign-up sheet for volunteers! I'd be the first to sign up

Wish you were in Toronto. I'd love to have a workout partner.

I think the peace of mind knowing you are with someone who you can trust would be huge
