Thank you! Is this the area you are going to buy in? With the new house comes a higher bond. I like the Brownwood Square and have rented a place in there for January and February so we will see how it goes. I have waited so long to go, I know I am going to like it! November can't come fast enough. I'd be going in October but having a new granddaughter coming early October and then a big family wedding we have to travel to at the end of October. Thanks again for your insight.

The Villages Fitness rooms are fine but they lack certain equipment that genesis would offer.

Thank you! I have to see if we like it first before we want to buy. I haven't been there yet. But I KNOW I am going to like it so I already told hubby I want to get a house. I was told that Genesis is 20-30 minutes away? I just thought the LS visit would be fun and more organized than winging it on our own when I don't know about anything there. But I think you are right. Right now I am leaning on trying to get a rental with a golf cart. I did see someone do a video of a golf cart ride from down south to Brownwood and it was much longer than I thought. I really have to think about this and contact my host. Thank. you very very much.

Thank you. the gym is very important to my husband. It would be a deal breaker. Maybe that is crazy, but that's how he is. He's been working out since he was a teenager. It's his hobby. He doesn't golf. He would be interested in pickelball, but who wouldn't! lol.

Thank you. We will be renting a car and not just going around by golf cart.

Thank you. We will be renting a car and not just going around by golf cart.

Thanks, defiitely plan on renting a car for sure.

[Pamela1130]

Thank you! There is an Anytime Fitness Gym? How did I not know this?? Thank you so very much!!

[Pamela1130]

Thank you, I do have a rental in the Brownwood area for Jan an Feb so that will give us a feel, I am sure. I am renting a car so I will look into all the surrounding gyms, such as Genesis, Planet Fitness and Anytime Fitness.

I didn’t feel like the LSV was just winging it on our own. We got free tickets to Eaglemania at The Savannah Center and the Philharmonic Orchestra at The Sharon. We took a tour on a bus that looked like a trolley. We had a choice of a pickle ball lesson, archery, air guns, or bocce and shuffleboard. We had two bikes and helmets and a golf car with a full tank of gas. We had a pass to use all the amenities including the neighborhood pool and Rec centers. We went to the squares every night and the music was great. We played golf, went to Edna’s, walked on amazing trails. We met a lot of people. We stayed in a 1945 sq foot bungalow in December for $149 a night, tax included. It was so much fun and I would recommend it to anyone. The Christopher Villas are very nice and not that far from Brownwood. Your experience will be what you make of it. There is no sales pressure at all. We had a blast and it was also amazing taking that golf car out at night to various neighborhoods looking at Christmas decorations and lights. Can you tell we loved our LSV?

[Pamela1130]

Honestly, I haven't seen much down there at all. Thank you! I'm weighing all the replies but I am think I am leaning towards asking if there is a possibility in Brownwood. And then trying to get a rental in Brownwood.

Really, regarding the Silver Sneakers Medicare plan. I think we do have that. That would be so amazing because $85.00 a month is also a difficult pill to swallow for a gym. Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much!! Didn't know about anytime gym.

Probably not be here in the summer and probablly keep our home up north at least for a while.
