I know a number of people that have set up home gyms so they can exercise at their schedule, rather than "when they can get in" at a health club.

When one or two companies have a monopoly, the consumer pays. This only continues for so long until others see the huge profits and decide to join the game. That is when things become fair for the consumers. I asked the district offices why Villagers had to pay nearly as much for the use of club facilities that we actually OWN, as we a private company for health club use.
I was told to take my complaint to the Amenities Authority Committee since it was these offices that established the rates. Of the comittee members I talked to, no a single one used the Recreation Center work out facilities. One committee member said she would look into the matter. As we know, this meant my question had just disappeared into the wind.
