I've finally got my butt back in gear going to the gym, but now of course it's summer vacation. The child care worker had no less than 25 kids to manage by herself. I asked the front desk worker if there was a limit, and she said no. I'm not comfortable with that, and it's the only gym in town with childcare. Who would I talk to or complain to? Clearly management doesn't care.

Ours in crazy too with summer being here. But mine offer a "craft time" from 9-11am that takes kids 3+ to another room to do a project and have snack. It's the busiest time of day and helps with the crowed little room.
And also ask one of the childcare workers when a less busy time of day is to come. It's usually pretty dead from 1-4pm here, but insane in the morning.
I've done a little more googling and it looks like Amy is right; gyms are typically exempt from the laws. Ugh.

Eek. I would ask to speak directly to the director about it.

It's not that they don't have the money, I know. They have over 10,000 members, and just added on an 18 hole indoor mini-golf course. They also have tons of staff for their day camp program. It's just not where they choose to spend it, clearly. The more I think about it, the angrier it makes me.

The YMCA is a non-profit organization so doesn't really have an "owner". I am guessing that each local YMCA is it's own 501(c)3 organization affiliated with the national YMCA. So, each local Y is an independent entity, but must follow certain standards to be able to call itself a YMCA. If you do not have luck with the CEO, I would speak to the President of the Board or another Board member. Sometimes the CEO and the board president are one and the same, but otherwise all of the remaining board members are volunteers tasked with overseeing the operations/strategy of the organization. The CEO reports to the board. I would also check and see if your Y is a United Way agency. If so, you may be able to file a complaint with United Way in your community. United away can't technically "make" them do anything but if they receive United away funding that may motivate them to address your concern. I would take these steps before contacting the national YMCA. Good luck.

I seriously don't know why people can't read. The OP already said the gym does NOT have to follow state guidelines.
So tomorrow get there at 8:00 and see if it's better.

so typical of you holly, an excuse for every solution that doesn't line up with your opinion. I know this is crazy but you can work out alone.

I'm not looking for excuses. I have a time that I like to workout and it's within the time frames that they provide childcare. I should be able to workout then. They have a class that starts at 8, so it's probably just as bad then.
I didn't ask for solutions; I asked if it was illegal.

My gym will have 3 or 4 ladies when it gets that busy, pulling someone from the front desk if needed. I just noticed that they have several new workers this week since school's out.
And no, I'm not offering to watch my friends' 4 kids just to get to work out, lol. I'd take him on the track with me before I did that.
