It's an increase of about 233 percent.

Check out what the normal gym membership includes and does not include. If you have to pay out of pocket, usually you can get discounts. You can oftentimes get a drastic discount if you pay for three years in advance. But you need to be certain that you will be using your gym membership consistently. Many people get gym memberships, then slack off, and don’t use their gym memberships.

I bought a three year membership for about $18 a month before I had the free Original Medicare supplement gym membership. If I renewed the three year gym membership again, it would cost less than $6 a month. The normal month to month cost is about $35 a month. So, not everyone pays the same rate. You have to throughly check out how to get the discounts and free gym memberships.

Medicare Advantage plans should be avoided because the Medicare Advantage plans actually reduces the quality and quantity of your health care services. That’s why Medicare Advantage should be named Medicare Disadvantage.

There are many different Medicare Advantage plans. Shop around - some are very good with very good caps. Ours has a 1300.00 cap. We go to Infinity fitness in Fruitland Park (on 441/27) and pay nothing.

There are also free outdoor exercise machines IN the Villages. There's one at Paradise Park, and they just built a new one across the street (441) next to the Hacienda fitness pool. Pretty sure there are a few more scattered around the community as well.

I was about to disagree with you, then I realized you had it right and I had it wrong.

Math before coffee=bad idea.

It's new but it's not a gym in the conventional sense.

It's more just fitness classes with treadmills and no weights.
You can't just go whenever you want you have to sign up for the class in advance.

I was hoping they put a real gym where that useless Paradise Grill is that nobody is ever in.

I go to Laurel Manor twice a week for a total of seven hours for free.

The trick is, to use the art room.

Some original Medicare Supplement plans have gym membership benefits, my supplement plan G does.
