Bring the Kids While You Workout: Gyms With Childcare in Fairfield County

September 16, 2017

Yes! You've decided to join the gym and you're pumped about getting pumped up. First priority: make sure you join a gym that makes working out convenient. That means: in-gym childcare!

Of course, there are some days when you want to include the kids in a workout. You can always move it with your posse on a favorite local hike or bike ride, an outdoor ropes course or other great active trips found in our Fairfield County Guide. I have four kids, and can't always count on getting out of bed at 5:30 a.m. or on my hubs getting home in time for my favorite yoga class. For that reason, I narrowed my gym choices to those fitness facilities that offer childcare in Fairfield County.

Chelsea Piers Athletic Club - Stamford 
For a more high-end work out experience, invest your family fitness dollars at Chelsea Piers in Stamford. This is an absolutely huge facility with ice rinks, an Aquatic Center, volleyball courts, and beyond. When you are ready to work out, be sure to book your babysitting space in advance. Walk-ins to the cozy Kids Club are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you like it, the club even offers ACTUAL preschool!
