My family and I just moved to San Antonio a few months ago. We have two girls ages 2 and 11. We are looking for a gym with childcare near the Stone Oak area. So far, we have checked out Lifetime Fitness on 281 and Spectrum Club at Rogers Ranch. Can anyone share their experiences with the childcare at either one of these clubs or could recommend another gym to try? Thank you!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

We decided the gym was a little expensive for us right now. So, we are going to use the treadmill we have upstairs and buy some weights instead. Thanks for all of the advice!

Hi B.... I am a yoga instructor and would love to offer you private yoga sessions at your home. Yoga is a wonderful way to get in shape and stay healthy. The best part is, your children can join you for a session if you want. I specialize in yoga for both adults and children, so if babysitting is an issue, this would be the perfect solution. And, even if they don't join you for a yoga workout, at least they are right there and you have no need for a babysitter or babysitting expenses. Visit my website - www.totalharmonyyoga.com - for find out more about me, my classes and how to contact me. Hope to hear from you soon.

I am a member at lifetime but make it a point to go when I have someone to watch my daughter. I wouldn't call it childcare or babysitting, just someone to make sure the kids don't get hurt. They don't allow sippy cups, snacks or change diapers! I don't know if that is their policy or if I just had a bad experience. Also, if your child is fussy for more than 10 minutes, they page you to return to the child center to get your kid. When my daughter went she was about 1 yr old. Good luck!

We joined the JCC, Jewish Community Center, (we aren't jewish) and they have a nice clean gym and good child care. my daughter always had fun there. Only $1 for the time that you are there. They also have a great pool for the summer and have tons of classes that are available. Cheap too! :-) it is located on NW military and Wurzbach. good luck!

I have been a member of both and left Lifetime because of childcare or lack there of. There is no comparison. We go to Rogers Ranch Spectrum. There Kids Club is unbeatable. They have consistent, wonderful staff whom know and love my children. We just had my daughters second birthday party there too and it was a blast. You would NEVER regret your decision.
