HI to all you mommies,
So I have decided that instead of slacking on the exercise during the summer months that I would klike to possibly join a gym. I will need childcare for 2 and don't want to go broke trying to stay healthy! I would love to know what all you ladies are paying for ur gyms and childcare too? My cross streets are Higley and Williamfield...wana stay kinda close to my area.
Thanks,
Jenn
Thanks for all the advice. I decided to go with LA Fitness in Queen Creek since the location was closer to me. I was able to get my membership and childcare for 2 for $41 a month
YMCA at Recker and Baseline. It is a brand-new facility. I pay $75/month for a family membership and that includes childcare. It is a month to month membership with no contract. Sometimes they run no-enrollment fee specials. They also have a pool with shallow entry which is great for toddlers.
I recommend Curves three times a week, $34/month. They don't have childcare but they have very early and late hours so maybe you could sneak out before breakfast or after dinner. The workout is half an hour, plus they recommend you stretch afterwards.
Fitness Works. Go to Craigslist, click on For Sale, then search for Fitness Works. You can buy a 90 day fundraiser pass for $20. Full access to the gym and classes, plus 5 free KidZone family passes and scores of other coupons and discounts. Their classes are the absolute best in the industry and it's a family gym. KidZone is $15 for the first child and $5 for each additional, per month.
There is a location at Gilbert and Germann.
Good luck!
We absolutely love Fitness Works. We pay $65/mo for hubby, myself and 2 kids (but we joined 4 years ago). It's very family oriented, the Kids Zone is great for the kids, the classes are awesome. They have a location on Higley & Baseline and another at ValVista and Queen Creek.
I go to Lifetime Fitness, the closest to you would be Warner and Gilbert Rd. so it might be too far for your liking, but I love, love, LOOOOVE it. It is more expensive than others, but it is so nice I feel its worth it. Everytime I go I feel like I'm heading to a spa (except for all of that sweating business...lol) which every mommy needs...I pay $50 a month for myself and $5 a month for each child. Along with the child center, we take the kids to the pool on the weekends (there are 2, one indoor and one out and both have beach front entries). They have a special right now with a referral, 100 dollars to you after the first month, 100 dollars after 6 months, and 100 dollars after the first year. No contracts...its all month to month-you can cancel at any time. There is also a cafe of healthy food and a full spa. Good luck and cheers to you for choosing a healthier lifestyle!
I go to 24 Hour Fitness on Val Vista, just south of Elliot. I pay $20 per month. You can pay $3 per day for the daycare or set up a plan with your monthly fee for the gym and pay $20 per month for unlimited daycare use. I liked the daycare when my kids were small.....they have a locked gate and a large door that the kids cannot open. The caretakers are good and my kids were always fine. They have a pool, machines, classes , cycling. The only thing negative is that some of the equipment is old and doesn't work (like the eliptical or stationary bikes), but I never have a problem finding another machine.
