That was the one thing that took me by surprise about TV. After having looked at numerous other 55+ communities where a rec center was synonymous with having a fitness center that was available at no extra cost, I just assumed that every rec center in TV would have some fitness equipment. I was amazed when our sales rep said that only three of them were so equipped - and you had to pay extra for them. When we visited in mid-April it didn't seem too bad from a wait perspective, but I can imagine that during the snow-bird season things can be a problem. Given that the cost a fitness center must be a very small fraction of the cost of a golf course, it would seem that the proportionality of fitness centers to golf courses is a bit out of whack.
