Having gone to Brownwood for a couple of years now, I counted on general growth with spikes around the new year, both because of New Year's resolutions and returning snowbirds. You combine those two with the United Health Care offer of free membership and it was a madhouse earlier this year. Not only was there no space in classes but parking was nearly impossible.
We're still going but the classes we attend now at the height of summer are nearly as crowded as they were at the height of snowbird attendance when we joined. I really do hope that The Villages opens up the retail space south of 44 soon and that MVP opens up a location there. If they can combine that with golf cart access coming down Morse, I would probably start going to the new location.
For now, our wish is that Suzanne (Susann?) would come back and teach her great yoga classes at Brownwood. We don't know if she's left the company, taken the summer off or move her classes to Spanish Springs and nobody at the front desk seems able to tell us but she was (and I hope still is) a great yoga instructor for my relatively low level of yoga skills.
