Hi Frustrated
This is a really difficult one, I'm not sure I can help too much, i must be honest. It is going to require some creative thinking. My first thought was swimming, without hesitation, but that limit of not being able to get out of the pool challenges that. Is there not a way around that though? Some other method of getting out of the pool, because unfortunately, all your options in terms of cardio are out of the question - swimming is really about the best one left, and it does seem a shame to have to abandon that one because of a 'technicality'. So my earnest thought is that you need to come up with an alternative, even if it means telling the gym managers that their ladder is not suitable and they need to make another arrangement! You'd be well within your rights to do this and see if they can come up with some sort of arrangement or alternative.
