What do you like about our programs and activities?

Lots to choose from. The only thing I would like you to see replaced are the spin bikes. I miss taking spin classes but can’t use those bikes.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I like the group exercises especially prime time at palmer ranch. This class is getting crowded. I don't understand the emphasis on using the gym so much for pickleball. My guess This year in season we could have 125 or more for the 2 1 hour weekly classes of prime time versus a very limited number of pickleball players using the whole gym for hours EVERY DAY at a time. Prime time is very important for us seniors who don't get a lot of exercise for cardio, weight training and balance. Its life changing.It just doesn't make sense to me that you wouldn't optimize these classes. I know 2 more classes are being added in October but that won't resolve the issue.WE NEED THE GYM.
