Last time I was in TV it cost me $8 each time I went versus $15/month for 24 hour Fitness where I now reside.

Too, due to demand, if people were waiting to use cardio machines sign up sheets were on the wall. There was a 20 minute time limit on the cardio machines!

The Villages needs some adequate fitness centers!
They also have weekly, monthly and quarterly rates. I did the monthly rates for a couple of months - only $40 for 7 days a week. The one at Mulberry has 10-15 weight machines, plus free weights plus 6 or 7 running machines.

True - no lockers and no showers but since I am only 3 miles from there I could go home and shower.
