Accessibility
What we've built into this site, what still falls short, and how to tell us if something gets in your way.
We want this site to work for everyone who comes to it, including people using a screen reader, a keyboard rather than a mouse, or a browser with motion turned down. We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We're not claiming to have been formally audited against it — what follows is what we've actually done and actually checked.
What's in place
- Motion respects your settings. This site leans heavily on moving video. If your device has "reduce motion" turned on, the scrolling walls, the rotating headline, the crawling logo strip and the reveal animations all stop.
- Keyboard access. Every link and button can be reached by keyboard, and the focused item is clearly outlined. A "skip to content" link is the first thing you reach on each page, so you can jump past the navigation.
- Nothing plays audio. Every video on the site is muted with no sound track at all. Nothing will start talking at you.
- Decorative video is hidden from screen readers rather than read out as a list of unlabelled media, and images that carry meaning — client logos, people's photographs — have text alternatives.
- Text contrast. Body text is measured at 5:1 or better against the background, above the 4.5:1 the standard asks for.
- Real structure. Headings, landmarks and lists are marked up as what they are, so a screen reader can navigate by them. The page works at 200% zoom and reflows down to a phone.
Where it still falls short
Stated plainly, because a statement that only lists successes isn't much use:
- The scheduler on the Book a Call page is Calendly's, loaded inside a frame we don't control. We can't guarantee its accessibility. If it gets in your way, you can book the same call by WhatsApp, by emailing contact@gymmedia.co, or by calling 929-254-9220. Those reach us just as well.
- The site is visually busy by design. Even with motion reduced, the home page is dense with imagery. If that's difficult, every page's content is also available by simply asking us — we'll happily talk you through anything on it.
- The video showreels have no captions or descriptions. They're decorative background rather than content, and carry no audio, so nothing is lost by skipping them — but we recognise that isn't the same as them being described.
- We haven't had an independent audit. The checks above are our own.
Tell us if something doesn't work
If any part of this site stops you doing what you came to do, please tell us — we'd genuinely rather know:
- Email contact@gymmedia.co
- Call or text 929-254-9220
- Message us on WhatsApp
It helps if you can say which page, what you were trying to do, and what browser or assistive software you were using — but tell us anyway even if you'd rather not go into detail. We aim to reply within five working days, and if something is blocking you we'll find another way to get you what you needed while we fix it.
