With summer right around the corner, I’m ready to leave my sweats at home and get moving again. It can be hard trying to find time and energy to work out though, much less find childcare! Whether you’re newly postpartum or a seasoned mom of many, we all need to get away for our mental and physical health. Our kids need to see us taking care of ourselves, and childcare should not be a barrier.
The following fitness locations will get your heart pumping and brain releasing those good endorphins, but you can also rest assured that your babies are in good hands. They’ll likely benefit from their activity time as much as you! I hope one of these spots become a new favorite for you and your little one.
Gyms with Supervised Childcare
Gyms with Supervised ChildcareLifetime Fitness | Plano, Frisco, Allen, and coming soon to McKinney at Craig Ranch
This upscale athletic facility is worth the splurge, with nice amenities and a variety of studio classes. Childcare is provided for up to 2.5 hours, so you could even relax at their spa after your workout! Children must be between three months of age to 11 years. The kids’ play area has a separate infant area, and they also offer fun toddler and kid activities. Consider a day pass if you want to try it out before investing in a membership.
Frisco Athletic Center | Frisco
This is a family-focused athletic center with over 240 exercise machines, group exercise classes, an indoor aquatic center, two full-size gyms and more. Their Play Depot welcomes littles from eight weeks to 11 years. It’s a 5,000-square-foot space with a dedicated infant room, toddler room, and two recreational areas for older children. Reservations are required as space is limited. Time slots are 90 minutes. The best perk of an FAC membership is access to their outdoor water park that’s open in the summer season. Break a sweat and then cool off at the water park with the kids!
Apex Centre | McKinney
This beautiful 80,000-square-foot recreation center offers all the fitness equipment you could need, group exercise classes, indoor/outdoor pools, and a fun outdoor water park. They have a supervised playroom for children three months through nine years. Children may be dropped off once a day for a maximum of two hours.
Individual Fitness Studios with Childcare
Barre3 | Frisco, Richardson, Coppell
My personal workout of choice. It’s low impact and modifications are welcome, so you can make it as challenging or gentle as you need. They emphasize mindfulness, so I always leave feeling physically balanced and mentally refreshed. The Play Lounge is clean and inviting, perfect for littles. Make sure to book the Play Lounge in advance to reserve your child’s spot. It’s included in membership, or you can buy a single pass or package of 10.
The Barre Code | Plano
Choose from Barre, Bootcamp, Strength Training, or Brawl. If you like upbeat music and neon lights, this is the place for you! While they don’t have in-house childcare, there is an Adventure Kids right next door. Drop them off and walk over to class! *Adventure Kids has several gym partners, so if you have a fitness place you love that doesn’t have childcare, this may be a good option! Receive a 10% discount on a two-hour time block for any gym partner listed on their website.
Burn Boot Camp | Frisco, Prosper, Richardson, McKinney
If you like a challenge and are ready to get your adrenaline pumping, you’ll love these 45- minute high-intensity workouts which incorporate strength training and cardio. It’s like having a personal trainer, but in a group setting. You’ll never be bored as it is their mission to never do the same workout twice! Membership includes nutrition resources, focus meetings with a certified trainer, and complimentary childcare.
Stroller Boot Camps
