Heading: Wellness Center

Text: The Wellness Center consists of health facilities, a professional managed exercise program, a swimming pool, spa, workout facility, and an exercise room with equipment. The trial court found that the Wellness Center was constructed expressly for the benefit of the condominium residents, even though non-residents may use it for a fee. The trial court observed that the Wellness Center as a health facility was within Section 8.1(a) of the declaration. The court noted that the Wellness Center was included in the marketing materials and should have been anticipated by the Owners. The court concluded although the expense was assessed improperly on a per person basis, when properly assessed, was within the common areas for which the Owners can be assessed. Neither the Act nor the declarations require that Owners be assessed for only services they choose to use. Under the circumstances the Owners were informed of the assessment when they accepted their deeds. The trial court's conclusion is affirmed.
