I will be spending March in TV (first visit). The purpose of the trip is to determine whether I would like to live there. Hearing that there are no reasonably priced workout facilities is a BIG minus to me.

I've been working out three days a week (resistance training, walking, streching, balancing) as well as basketball for about 13 years. To not have that available would really make me think twice about moving there no matter what else I like about the area. I simply cannot get in to working out at home alone even if I had the eqpt.

The town I live in has a tax supported facility which costs resident seniors
(55+) $25 annually for unlimited usage. It is like a well equipped tax supported Y. VERY surprised that an active adult retirement community does not have anything like that. Seems like a big oversight to me.
