Shape Up Your Life in a Fitness Center Community
Fitness center communities are focused on good health and overall wellness for their residents of any age. Whether you're retired or working remotely from home, you'll find a more active and enjoyable lifestyle in a premier fitness center community.
Why live a fitness center community?
If you're serious about getting in better shape for the next chapter of your life, then a fitness center community is where you belong. Do you want to have access to all of the latest training equipment? Would you like to join a workout class with people like you who want a healthier life? Have you made a bucket list of activities or adventures that you'd like to enjoy in the years ahead? Finding your perfect fitness center community is a great first step in all of those directions.
What are the benefits of choosing a fitness center community?
- Fitness Center Facilities. The finest fitness centers are located in the hearts of their communities, often in the clubhouse and next door to pools and racquet courts. The convenience of having those facilities right in your neighborhood gives you more time and energy for your workout programs. And in nearly all fitness center communities, everyday access to those facilities is free of charge.
- Fitness Center Training Equipment. Having state-of-the-art training equipment available is a priority for fitness center communities. Programmable treadmills and stationary bikes are just the start. Today's fitness centers can also include rowing machines, elliptical stations, free weights and a variety of the latest cardio and strength-training equipment.
- Fitness Center Workout Classes. Joining a fitness class with neighbors in your age group is a great way to begin or enhance your healthy new lifestyle. Professional instructors lead those fitness programs, which can be one-on-one workouts or part of a exercise group. Dance, aerobics, and yoga classes are often on the fitness center schedule.
- Fitness Center Pools. Many upscale fitness centers have their own swimming pools or are located beside community pools. Outdoor pools have lap lanes and designated times for those who want to swim as part of their workout program. The best fitness centers have also added indoor pools for year-round comfort and popular water-aerobics classes.
- Fitness Center Social Life. Fitness center communities design their facilities to encourage a positive social life for residents. In addition to exercise classes, many fitness centers host community walking, jogging, biking and kayaking clubs. Premier fitness centers can also include juice bars and tea rooms where neighbors can gather for healthy refreshments after working out.

Whether you’re ready for full-time retirement or want to relocate to a better place, Tennessee is a state that deserves your attention.
Consider these facts before deciding on another location: Tennessee collects no state tax on income or other retirement-plan benefits and no sales tax on prescription drugs. Property taxes in Tennessee are very reasonable, especially with available exemptions for retirees and age 65+ residents, resulting in the second-lowest overall state and local tax burden per capita in the nation. And Tennessee offers the eighth-lowest cost of living in the U.S.—more than 10% below the national average.
The Retire Tennessee program is a state government initiative designed to spread the word about all of the great reasons for retiring or relocating to the Volunteer State. From the Great Smoky Mountains in the east to the banks of the Mississippi River in the west, a total of 19 urban and rural counties in the program highlight the unique natural attractions and cultural amenities that each has to offer.
Tennessee has more than 60 state and national parks with some of America’s finest freshwater fishing lakes and hiking destinations that range from the 210-mile Cumberland Trail to Chattanooga’s 16-mile Riverwalk. The delightful four-season climate means that you can enjoy a round of golf or a kayak excursion any week of the year. And the world-famous Tennessee music scene includes Beale Street blues in Memphis, the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, and bluegrass festivals in charming mountain towns like Kingsport and Cookeville.
