Come on residents. We need to complain!! Let the Villages know what we want!!! more gyms are at the top of my list!!

Every year I include on my Villages survey the need for a better large gym, such as a 24 Hour, Lifetime Fitness or Golds Gym in this area. The Wellness Center was purchased by MVP who promised updated equipment and all sorts of changes that have yet materialized. In fact, their Zumba classes have been reduced recently although it was an extremely popular class. Their weight lifting machines are ancient and I'm unimpressed by the rec center gyms as well. People from the West Coast are used to fitness as a way of life and updated, plentiful equipment is a must. I know there is an Anytime Fitness and 24/7 Fitness in the outlying areas, but I'd like to see a huge, complete fitness center with indoor pool and group exercise classes come to The Villages.
