Manzano Mesa Gym Turns Into Sauna

The Manzano Mesa Multigenerational Center is turning into a literal sauna during a brutal heat wave, with gym temps soaring past 80°F—sometimes hitting 88° before anyone arrives. Seniors and families rely on this community hub, but with aging HVAC units and only a single portable cooler and fans to help, conditions are unbearable. Classes are suspended if temps hit 78°F, leaving residents fanning themselves in discomfort. The city calls these centers “cooling centers,” but this one’s more like a furnace. Two more portable units are coming next week, but a full HVAC replacement is needed—urgently—for this vital space to function as intended.
