I have visited communities with as few as 500 homes which had gyms as big as the regional centers here.  |
I agree. Back when my mother was in her 60's, people didn't exercise and go to health clubs the way they do now. Its been an evolving change of lifestyle, and most retirement communities do now offer exercise facilities as part of their package because that's one thing retirees are looking for. I can't imagine why The Villages didn't pick up on that. Yes you can bike and walk, and have your own home exercise equipment to try to get around it, but as far as I'm concerned, the lack of decent health clubs here is a deficiency. To remedy this, I suggest that people that are here on sales trips looking at property, mention it to the sales people. For residents, when we have our annual survey, write it down as a suggestion. If they hear about it from enough people, maybe they'll do something.
