My wife and I will be moving into the area within the next 5 years and I was curious about experiences that anyone has had with local fitness centers / gyms.

Currently I belong to a Planet Fitness in Charlotte NC close to where we live presently. I really like it and it's very reasonable - $10/mo. I think it's one of the better fitness franchises in the country along with Urban Active, although Urban Active is more expensive. I believe both of these franchises are expanding nationwide and wonder if there are plans to expand in the Sarasota area. I note that there is one Planet Fitness located in Bradenton.

Anyone have experience with other franchises or good local fitness centers? Does the local YMCA have nice facilities?

There is also YouFit, for about the same price here ($10 per mo). I haven't been, but it's basically a no-frills type of place with all the workout machinery but no "extras."

I used to go to the YMCA in Sarasota (there are several locations, each one different) which is extremely nice and has all the amenities but is really expensive. It's nice, though. Never been to the ones in Bradenton.
