Default NO...

To answer the OP question, I would not consider paying $110/month for my wife and I to use a facility like that. This is just my opinion of course. I would be hard pressed to imagine such a business would make it. From my experience, quality gyms make money by selling memberships at a reasonable rate relying on the fact that a large percentage of folks never show. I would never consider $110/month reasonable...... well maybe with weekly massages... and free mimosas after a tough workout...

We are spoiled in the suburbs of MA (apples and oranges to FL) to have many great fitness centers for less than $50/month per couple. To be honest, I have always been a bit disappointed with what the Villages offers for gyms at the cost it is offered, but it is what it is….and I do not have to partake if I choose not to….
