My husband joined the entire family one day without asking me. He thought it seemed like a great idea for the whole family. It was, But the swim classes didn't work out for DD and other kid classes start at age 5 (she's 4). She doesn't like going to the babysitting area while I work out, although LO doesn't care since he's so small. Also They close early for me.. I had much better luck at 24 hr fitness in terms of my own workouts.

@MrsBrewer: @Mrsbells: how is it so cheap for you guys?!!

The family membership is like $120 where I live. However, we get a significant discount because it's based on our income, so we pay less than $70/mo. DS takes swimming lessons there which is an additional $40 for seven weeks.

I love it because it has free childcare - and no other gym in our area does. And it's a really high-quality childcare system. I have come to "know" many of the childcare workers.

Also they offer a ton of fitness classes and I am more motivated to do those than work out on my own.

Once DS gets older there are family fitness classes, and events that he can be involved in so that's something to look forward to.

I love it

@HeatherlovesKenny: what!?!? I guess it must be offered depending on the different Y's? that's is a huge bummer.

Nope. I do join my city's local community center and it's awesome! they have 5 of them and we can go to anyone we like. Each one offers something a little different, and the extra programs are usually much cheaper than joining elsewhere. Plus the membership is only like $60 per YEAR. yay! some even have indoor and outdoor pools that resemble a water park, and a wadding area for babies to just sit in the water and splash!

I don't even know if we have one close? I was kind of under the impression it was like a service for low money families?

@Mrs. Yoyo: Thanks for clearing it up. I guess I have listened to the song too much.

Hubs is a member, but I go to a different gym with more aerobics classes and such.
