There are several fitness centers in and around the villages. If you decide to go with one of the "advantage" plans, most of these have a silver sneakers option that gets you free access to some of the local fitness centers. That is the good news, the possible bad news it that you need to very carefully review the differences between the Medicare/supplement plans and the NON Medicare advantage plans.

As for your bowflex, you could bring it with you and see if it fits, and if it doesn't sell it, or donate it. I let all of my equipment back up North, since we wanted to have the capability of using the third room (aka den) as an extra bedroom, and there was no way to do this with exercise equipment in it. Possible alternative would be some type of system where the exercise equipment could be temporarily moved to the garage when company arrives. I looked at the option, but everything I found was very expensive.
Hope this helps.
