We leave E in the nursery at church with no problem but for some reason I'm nervous about leaving him in the child care at my gym. E is 9 months old and DH works long hours during the week- not leaving any time for me to leave him at home while go work out.
I'm tempted to try the gym nursery during the week but I'm nervous! Do you take your LO to the gym? How has your experience been with it?

We take ours to the gym nursery (pretty much the only childcare out of the home he goes to). It has large windows, and I"ll peek in to see how he's doing. Usually, he's great!

I don't..... exercise gives me migraines. But my MIL owns a gym so if I did want to go I'd leave her there with her.

@jackieomy: @FancyGem: How old are your LOs? Have they been going for awhile?
LO loves playing in the church nursery and he's in there for over an hour each week. I think he enjoys the change of scenery so I think that he'd like this too. Idk why I'm so nervous.

i just took LO to the gym nursery for the first time this weekend while i forced my lazy butt to work out 
i was a paranoid freak and kept walking by the window, oh about 10x during my workout. i was just nervous because she is not in daycare and i had no clue how she would act with total strangers and lots of kids. i was also very nervous because there were only 2 daycare workers and about 15 kids (3 or 4 being under 9ish months by the looks of it). the crazy part was she said that this want even busy for them!! LO did fine but it was a little nerve wracking. I would have felt much better if there were more workers to help.

I did, when I was going to the gym. I was nervous at first, but DH reassured me that at the gym we went to, it's certified people that watch the kids, and not just some teenager that got stuck there. We are joining the Y soon, and ill be putting them in that one as well
ETA: he loved it. He went for a few months after he turned 4 months old. Then he got sick, and I got pregnant and lazy haha and them my membership ended lol

@NovBaby1112: I'm hoping that if I go mid-day during the week there won't be that many kids. That's what I'm most afraid of- yesterday at church there were 6 babies in the baby room and it seemed like a lot!

@sarbear: I'm glad to hear that he liked it and that he was pretty young when you started! I'm starting to get braver lol

@Running Elley: i bet if you go during the week mid-day it wont be that busy. yea, it is hard to imagine how they can possibly watch all the babies and kids! esp since my LO is so mobile and into EVERYTHING, trying to climb up everything, I was scared she would get hurt. but she did fine and I will prob go again at not such a busy time!

LO just turned 1 in June. He's been going (off and on) since he turned 6 months.

We started taking LO to the gym around the time he was 10 months.
