Gym equipment is not made for those under 5 feet. Im 4'11" and finding any equipment that i can reach is hard! Anyone else have this issue? What do you do?

    I am also 4'11 :) I don't have much of a problem with the things in the gym, one of the ones you pull down (sorry don't know the name of it) I kneel on the seat to reach the bar but other than that I am ok something I have to put the seat really low down haha!!!
