[Donna]

Please, I would ask your advice.   Which nationwide fitness clubs do you recommend for full time RVrs

Thank you

Donna

I believe this topic was discussed either here or on IRV2 previously and I believe the answer was none. Most fitness clubs are in large population areas and most full time RVers tend to shy away from cities. Most of us walk or bike, some campgrounds(resort type) may have an exercise room.

Well.....that's not really how it was answered at all. There were many opinions from this thread including someone who echoed the above comments. Here is a LINK to the recent question that I had posted. I got some good answers back from the group.

We have gone to several 9 round gyms and YMCA.  If you join a YMCA most will except that membership for entry on a temporary basis.  But I think they have 5 levels of YMCAs that can play a factor also.  Hope this helps.

I looked at the link Don and it did not address the question from the OP. A NATIONWIDE fitness club. The small towns we generally are in don't have any fitness club, community centers or Ys.

But if you are camped in the outer suburbs so as to visit sights in a city you can often buy a day pass to whatever club is there.

We just checked into our winter site in North Ft. Myers.  Planet Fitness just opened a new site in a small shopping center close to us.  They take the Silver Sneakers pass so we will be visiting their facility for free until April, thanks to our managed Medicare insurance.

Silver Sneakers isn't a benefit that is specifically related to "managed Medicare insurance" plans (aka Medicare Advantage).  Silver Sneakers is a benefit that comes from the insurance carrier, not the type of plan.  We have standard Medigap Plan F supplements and get the Silver Sneakers benefit from it through Humana.
