there are simply not enough ellipticals at Seabreeze to meet the demand, even with the 20-minute limit that is imposed when others are waiting.

I emailed John Rohan last week about the problem and offered a constructive suggestion. I have not had a response to date.

We have been here seven years. The crowds to use the fitness center in the winter and the golf courses year round are starting to get overwhelming. We are now telling friends who want to buy here to think twice about buying here to be sure they can deal with the crowded faciilities.
Not many of us made the decision to move here based on whether a retail, store, restaurant or service were busy/crowded.

We also learned as did many others that things like t times, restaurants, etc are all a function of timing and want. Those same venues are available over many hours, yet opinions of business are formed based on one's specific time choosing.

I have listened for years about how difficult it is getting a t time in the "busy season". Tweleve years experience demonstrates if one puts in several choices of courses and some flexibility of time of play....you will get a t time. We have yet to ever not get a t time for any day we wanted to play golf.

Ditto on restaurants.

Traffic? Anyplace worth going to will have it. When you think it is bad here take a drive around Atlanta then come back and enjoy TV.

To each his own and their outlook(s).
