There are quite a few...Curves (for women) are all over, Ladies fitness on 301 Core Fitness on 301, Anytime Fitness on 441, there's a place on 466A that is a training facility (personal training by the month) a couple of others I can't recall the names of, and all are within minutes of TV. Of course if you want to travel 50 miles, there are many as you near Orlando.

For the price charged, they should be much larger and provide some level of fitness classes. Facilities similar to the fitness centers (but 5 times larger) are available in my northeast community for costs of $10 to $20 a month. Perhaps we need a private club owner to open nearby and provide some competition.
there are a number of facilities nearby, that opened in the last year.

Great Idea Bob....
You know that every time I drive through the TV I am so impressed with the landscape and just the beauty of this place that the price for the gyms seem quite small to me. I think I will just take walks and bike too!

I may just buy a treadmill for the rainy days....
