Hi

I usually go 5 times per week and stay 1 1/2-2 hours. I usually have time to run and do one class. C is still in the infant room and does just fine. G is almost 3- so she does some classes, colors/paints, plays on the equipment and goes outside. I always go around 8am when they are fresh and happy. On the weekends if H is working I also take Noah. They have classes for him and pool play and as long as other kids are there he likes it.

Since it's been so nice out, maybe 1-2x month I end up taking the kids to the gym with me. (In the winter it's about 2x/week.)

We stay 60-90 minutes.

DD is 3.5, DS is 6 months.

Exercise is everything for me. I actually workout 6-7 days most weeks . It's my happy pill really, plus I get time all to myself

We go about 4x/week and have since dd was old enough for them to take her (3  months). I stay about an hour, maybe a little longer.

I go 4 days a week but usually only bring DS 2 days. He stays for 1.5-2 hours and is 2.5 years old. He has been going regularly since about 6 months old.

I teach classes that are an hour each, so DD is generally in the gym daycare for a little over an hour when she has to come with me.

She is 3.5.  I honestly put off bringing her to the gym daycare as long as possible because she was already getting sick enough from her regular daycare and I didn't want to throw her into another germ situation.  Now that her immunity is built up, it's better.

They also don't change diapers, feed, etc. in our gym daycare so they will call you out of your workout to do that and it's just not possible when I'm TEACHING a class.  Because of that, when Hikerbaby 2.0 comes along, I will probably find an alternate child care solution for a while even though it will be more expensive than the gym daycare.

I usually go 4-5 days a week, unless I run in my neighborhood with DD in the jogger that day. I am usually there an hour or so. She is 2.5.

The only time I take DD is when DH is out of town. Last year when she was almost 2 I took her about 3-4 times a week for 1hr. I only did it for about a month.

I belong to my local YMCA and LOVE it! We get 2 hrs free childcare a day and they actually do activities and art projects with the 2 yr olds and up which is great! I go 5 x a week also unless one of the kids is sick bc I'd hate to make someone else's children sick. My DD will be 3 in Jan and my DS is almost 11 mos. I dont' take classes but do the eliptical for a half hour then weights for about 20 minutes and take my time getting changed then leave, but I want to add in some more exercises and also shower there and maybe even do my hair and make up since the kids have been great and the 2 hrs free is too good to pass up!

About 4 times a wee for between hour and hour and half.  DD is 2.5 we have been going sincebefore she was one.
