Question regarding places like Physical Therapy locations or Chiropractors, are these not along the same line of meeting the exercise criteria as a generic/chain gym? I had a rejection come back as not meeting wayferer criteria for a local veteran owned Physical Therapy location that has been opened for over a decade now. It was a ML rejection but just wanted some clarification on whether or not places like this actually do fall into the same relm of exercise criteria before I use an appeal on it.
Similar example of another submission I have waiting: there is also a local women owned & operated Chiropractic doctor that specializes in a type of Chiropractic practice that isnt a common one(around 500 docs for this type of Chiropractic doctor in the world). Would this also meet the exercise criteria? Personally would find it hard to believe thay a generic/chain gym would be better than similar local businesses with impact more impact to their communities. Appreciate any help & clarification provided!
i have not seen these sort of services as a POI.
To me they are associated medical type practices. Not really a place of exercise.
More likely sensitive. I have never had one to review.
Good luck with it though …

Physical therapy as I know it is more like a doctor’s appointment. You don’t go there for exploration or to be social, so we can rule those criteria out. They may have you do exercise, but that is the treatment. I think it would not be a place to go for exercising.

I would classify physical therapist and chiropractors as generic businesses. They are medical services intended for people who have medical problems. Their offices are not great places to explore or socialize, and really not great places to exercise. Is there places where they help people who have problems overcome those physical problems very different from, a place to exercise per se .

A chain gym is specifically set up to exercise. I think these meet the acceptance criteria.
Chiropractor? No.
Therapy gym. Probably no. Let me explain why I say probably. I work in that field. We have at our location a large gym that we do operate like an exercise gym. People from the community who need adaptive exercise equipment and “personal trainers” who have expertise within the disability community can pay a membership fee to use the gym. We even make sure that we call the people who use this gym “clients” because at this point they are no longer patients. Those clients can also sign up to be on one of our adaptive sports teams, most of whom practice on the large court in our gym or in our Olympic sized swimming pool. (Yes, we have Paralympians that use our facilities.)
But that is probably very rare. Most rehab places are probably limited to providing “patient” care.
