Frustrated with my gym

MrsJEC

So, I am frustrated with not being able to get a spot in childcare at my gym.  It seems like there is more demand than slots, and I end up missing 1-2 work-outs a week because of it.  Ugh.  I know the world doesn't revolve around me, and the gym can't accommodate everyone's babies' schedules.  But, it's still frustrating because I end up not working out as much, and therefore, I am not losing weight like I would like.  I really like working out there when I can get a spot, and when DS is 1, we won't have to worry about making reservations in advance anymore.  But, I don't know what to do in the meantime! 

I know you guys can't change any of this, but I just needed to vent, otherwise it would just keep bugging me all day.

I'm sorry.  That would be frustrating - especially when you have the desire to work out!  I hope that you're able to get a spot more frequently soon.

Where are you working out at? Can you reserve them a week in advance?

I don't want to mention the name of the gym, but you can only schedule up the 48 hours in advance.  Many times I have called 48 hours in advance, and they are already full!  It's crazy.  Sometimes I don't know until the day before if I can go or not (based on how Baby C is feeling, etc.), and sometimes I get a spot, and sometimes I don't.  Ugh.  I know they have a system set up this way for some very good reasons.  And, much of the time, it works.  It just seems like I am getting the short end of the stick a lot lately.  Of course, now that I've vented, watch me get every time slot I want!

If that's what it takes, then YEA for Bump venting!!

I'm sorry.  If it makes you feel better, in just a couple months you can move him to the bigger room and you don't have to have a reservation for that.  I used to set an alarm to remind me to call to get a spot 48-49 hours ahead of time.

That is really frustrating! Can you send me a PM w/ the name of the gym? I am going to start looking for one w/ childcare and this would be good know. If you don't want to, know worries.
