Our client is responsible for overseeing the weight and cardio room at the Jack Purcell community center and is looking for a modification to a rowing machine for wheelchair users. Using these interpreted needs, we have come up with a problem statement that defines what the problem is, who has the problem, and what form our solution comes in:

"There is a need at the Jack Purcell community center for a modification to a rowing machine in their weight room that allows wheelchair users to exercise with the machine without getting out of their wheelchair."

After prototyping and testing many ideas, we came up with our final product which can help a wide range of wheelchair users be more active which in turn promotes healthier lifestyles!

It includes features such as:
-Being lightweight
-Wall Mounting for easy storage
-Handle holder for user assistance so they don't have to reach out to grab the handle

*duct tape that was used for prototyping and pins were changed after design day to be more professional for an aesthetic look*
