I personally don't mind paying for things but I don't like being overcharged. I also find it odd that our rec center gyms don't accept any insurance like so many other gyms do.

Actually TV might be the only retirement community that actually charges extra on top of amenity fees for its fitness room.

Don't get me wrong I'm blessed and fortunate to be living in TV and not actually complaining but merely trying to understand the justification of rec center membership fees. Surely there is some explanation. Have a great day!
We bought a membership when we lived there & even with a membership sometimes there would maybe be 1 or 2 treadmills available. I couldn’t amagine how crowded it would be if it was FREE, people would be complaining because they couldn’t use the equipment. Just join for one month & you’ll see what I mean. I’m not complaining either but could you amagine how crowded these Fitness Centers would be if just half of the 120,000 people would want to go there. Then you would feel that you’re not getting your monies worth. I guess everybody looks at it in a different way!
