What to Look for in a Fitness Center Tour

Equipment age and condition
Cardio equipment (treadmills, ellipticals) should be replaced on 5–7 year cycles. Ask when the last major equipment refresh happened.
Free weight range
A real strength training program requires dumbbells from 5 lb to at least 50 lb. Verify the range before assuming it meets your needs.
Group fitness schedule density
How many group classes per week? Are they morning-heavy (when most 55+ residents prefer to exercise) or spread awkwardly through the day?
Pool integration
Aqua fitness and lap swimming are the most joint-friendly cardio options for active adults. A facility that integrates pool and gym programming is significantly more versatile.
