On my visit to TV I checked out the exercise facilities within the development where I could and to be honest I found them to be sadly lacking. I am not too interested in golf but I do cardio workouts on ellipticals and recumbant bikes several days a week and use free weights and some machines 3 - 4 days per week. Gotta have a gym convenient and reasonably priced near where I live.

At TV I drove to the gym in Spanish Springs on a Sunday morning and found it was closed! After it opened I found it was very expensive and quite small although adequately equipped for a small number of attendees. Where I live I pay $15/mo for a fully equipped gym which is open 24 hours a day (24 Hour Fitness). Personally, I cannot live a healthful life without a gym since that is how I get the most exercise in the least amount of time.

If I do another lifestyle visit I will look for a gym nearby but off the reservation or consider building and opening one myself.
