Finding Gyms with Childcare Keeps Getting Easier
Joining a gym is all fun and games until you have kids and need childcare! How’s a parent supposed to get in the cardio with a toddler running in circles around you? (No, that jumping and spinning kid can’t get your cardio on your behalf…)
We’ve gathered up a list of local fitness centers with childcare, so you can more easily keep the fitness habit in your life!
If your local workout haunt has child care and isn’t on this list, please let us know in the comments.

If it weren’t for childcare at MVP I prob wouldn’t work out. I have tried following exercise videos at home while my kids nap but I always find myself distracted thinking about all the things I need to do around the house. At MVP my kids play and interact w “friends” and “teachers” while I get a workout in. We go home and they take amazing naps and I can get the laundry/dishes/cleaning/meal prep done!
Walker ice and fitness is a great place with childcare.
