We conducted 20 semistructured\u00a0interviews about exercise and technology with 10\u00a0people who are blind or low-vision and 10 people who facilitate\u00a0fitness for people who are blind or low-vision. We also\u00a0conducted a survey with 76 people to learn about outsider\u00a0perceptions of hypothetical exercise with people who are\u00a0blind or low-vision. Based on our interviews and survey, we\u00a0found opportunities for technology development in four areas:\u00a01) mainstream exercise classes, 2) exercise with sighted\u00a0guides, 3) rigorous outdoors activity, and 4) navigation of\u00a0exercise spaces. Design considerations should include when\u00a0and how to deliver auditory or haptic information based on\u00a0exercise and context, and whether it is acceptable to develop\u00a0less mainstream technologies if they enhance mainstream exercise.
