I'm happy with the outdoor gym equipment my amenities pay for in the park near the Paradise Rec center. I wouldn't pay $60 for physical therapy, let alone $60 every month for the privilege of having dozens of people watch me sweat.

Those places are only a gym and you would to have to drive to Leesburg or Ocala. In fact I use to pay $109 a month for my wife and me at MVP, and it was money well spent. That's only if you're into classes with real instructors and great sound systems, then that's why you pay the money. It also depends on your location. I'm only ten minutes MVP in Brownwood.
In Lady Lake across from Oakwood is To Your Health, they have classes and is only $20 a month and even an indoor pool. Like I posted earlier, I haven't had to pay dues since United Health has taken over the plan. If you have United Health and don't care about a big facility with classes and plenty of equipment, they also will pay for membership in Anytime Fitness centers.
There are three large classrooms at MVP Brownwood, this is room #2 where I took Group Power three mornings a week for 4 years and and was in the best shape of my life. It's 60 minutes of high energy weight training with loud fast music. I never knew I liked the song The Story of My Life by One Direction until I took that class. I had to finally quit because at age 70 I can't keep up anymore. Those are all benches and steps that make it higher and weights are at the back of the room. There is normally about 40 or 50 students in that class.
If you want to get serious about your workout and are willing to spend a little money, check out To Your Health, it's in Lady Lake.
