Does anyone think that liability may be the reason for the lack of free weights and facilities in TV?

Thanks for the link - yes exercise facilities are certainly needed, and many many retirement communities have them at no cost to the residents. Why we have so few here, and they are so expensive, is beyond me. Even Spruce Creek, which is nowhere near the nice community that The Villages is, has a free exercise facility. There are many times of year when we can't exercise outdoors - in the winter it gets cold, in the summer the heat can be just awful, and you get the afternoon thunderstorms. I believe if the facilities were here, the residents would use them. We need to lobby for this when the annual survey comes out.
