The senior health and wellness center at 36th and Lincoln is set to break ground and open by next year:

MAPS3 Senior Wellness Center #1 now has 5,751 members. I think the original goal was 1500.

Far NW, Capital Hill, Eastside, Far S. Now we need in inner city N Central, perhaps downtown, far North, West, and maybe far SE. Then the city is fully covered - no excuses! Ditto the same sections/locations for Youth Centers (maybe a few more though).

Build these and along with the new gyms, fitness centers, Y's, and parks - watch OKC quickly get off those nasty fat and weight lists. Already should be making a push with the recent developments, but I'd say we're half done.

Downtown needs a few more private gyms and maybe even some clubs.

Downtown, there are two YMCAs: Gaylord Branch @ 1 N.W. 4th Street & Main Street YMCA 100 W. Main. Most Medicare plans pay for the memberships, so look for long-term financial support for these centers.

A Senior Wellness Center isn't needed downtown.
