Using a dialogical narrative approach, we explored how disabled people made sense of their gym experiences as part of a peer group. Interviews were conducted with 18 disabled people (10 men and 8 women, aged 23-60) who had experience exercising in the gym as part of a group. Data were rigorously analyzed using a dialogical narrative analysis. Within their peer group, participants crafted a collective story that they used to resist disablism in the gym. The dialogical components of the collective story functioned to (a) validate participants' experiences of oppression in the gym, (b) forge an unspoken understanding with peers, (c) craft a more affirmative identity, and (d) instill a sense of empowerment in participants so that they can tell their own story. This study extends knowledge in the field of exercise and disability by showing that despite the oppression disabled people experienced in the gym, they can create a collective story, which is useful for helping to promote and sustain exercise in this space.
我们采用对话式叙事方法，探究了残疾人如何理解他们作为同龄人群体一部分在健身房的经历。我们对18名有在健身房集体锻炼经历的残疾人（10名男性和8名女性，年龄在23至60岁之间）进行了访谈。我们运用对话式叙事分析对数据进行了严格分析。在他们的同龄人群体中，参与者构建了一个集体故事，他们用这个故事来抵制健身房中的残疾歧视。这个集体故事的对话元素起到了以下作用：（a）验证参与者在健身房遭受压迫的经历；（b）与同龄人形成一种默契的理解；（c）塑造一个更积极肯定的身份认同；（d）在参与者中灌输一种赋权感，使他们能够讲述自己的故事。这项研究扩展了运动与残疾领域的知识，表明尽管残疾人在健身房经历了压迫，但他们能够创造一个集体故事，这有助于在这个空间促进和维持运动。
