We have a community of 436 homes. We have a large clubhouse with 1st floor consisting of a bar area, fireplace, large TV room, an arcade room, and a meeting room - the 2nd floor has a child's play area, 2 locker rooms, a suana, a rather large aerobics room and a smaller room housing workout equipment (equipment is appox. 15 years old). Our budget for 2007 has set aside $40,000 for upgraded equipment (to include new stuff and the maintenance of it). The workout facility is greatly utilized by our residents.
My question is for HOA's who have workout facilities: How many machines do you have? What is the size of your community? How many machines are considered too many?
Reason for question: A presentation made to the Board by 4 residents last nite asked for 16 new Nautilus machines. The presenters want a machine for each major muscle group, and many new cardio machines. They also want the "aerobics room" (which is multi-purpose, bday parties, dance lessons, yoga classes, kiddie groups) to be used for the new machines and relegate the multi-purpose users to the smaller room currently used as the "workout room". Basically trade one for the other. Just as a side note, the smaller room is too small for many of the events currently held in the "aerobics room" and there is no fee for the rental of the room.
Before any decisions are made I want to perform a study within our community for the best usage of all the available rooms. Get a consensus more or less. Has anyone been involved with a similar situation, and how did you handle it?
I want to be able to provide our community with a solid and documented justificaion for the Board's decision, whatever that may be.
Thanks!
