What we have presently is woefully inadequate for a community which will soon number 100,000 people.
Agreed. But the fact that it hasn't happened yet should tell you something about the market research that was done. I'm not saying it won't happen but if it doesn't it will be because, for the most part, gyms throughout the country fail on a massive scale. I'll bet the failure rate is over 75%.

But we'll see.
