Thanks!

The Regional Rec Centers such a Mulberry, Laurel Manor, Seabreeze and Colony Cottage have the gyms as you have seen, they're only $363 a year for a single membership. That's reasonable. I was paying $63 a month to go to MVP at Brownwood, about 20 times bigger with organized classes. However, when I turned 65 and my United Health Medicare Advantage plan picked up the tab, can't beat free.

If you want go outside TV, there is To Your Health in Lady Lake on 27/441 across from Oakwood BBQ. They can be as low as $20 a month with a credit card, but that's still $240 a year and you drive over there and workout alongside younger working people. There are several Anytime Fitness Centers on the fringe of TV, they are cheaper and you get a key and can go anytime, although it may be a bit risky late at night. If you don't mind driving, there is Planet Fitness in Leesburg for as low as $10 a month. Nothing is free unless you have moved to Stonecrest or Del Webb North, then they give away free amenities to get people to buy there.
