Anyone else use the nursery at the gym?

How often do you go?  I had been working out at home during his nap but really needed to change things up.  So lately I've been going to the gym and it's GREAT. 

The only downside is that they sometimes have the TV on.  But I can deal with it- he watches pretty much no TV at home.  And there's a bunch of kids in there (older/younger), so I really can't ask them to turn it off.

Just wondering how often others are using their gym's nursery?

    I do - DS goes at least twice a week (and I go by myself another 1-2 times). He thinks it is great there - they also have a TV on sometimes (way up in the corner), but I don't care too much and he doesn't seem to pay attention to it.

    We have been going since he was about 6 months old, so it is a big part of our routine.

    I go the gym and take DD to gym daycare on average 4 days a week.  The TV is on there as well, which is not my favorite thing but it's usually so busy there that I don't think she pays any attention.  And it's free so I really can't complain. :)

    We usually go twice a week although I have been a total slacker lately. They don't have a TV in ours but I wouldn't mind if they did. It is so hit or miss whether she likes going that the TV might help.

    DS and I go every day, with rare exception (and not on Sundays). ?

    Our gym nursery doesn't have a TV in it at all, so that's not a problem for us; I've never seen one that did have a TV, but I don't think I'd be too bothered by it. ?

    My gym has a TV as well.  It's usually pointed in the direction of the 2 and up side.  We don't watch much TV at our house either (as in the kids don't have "shows" they watch), but I don't feel the little bit they get at the gym is a big deal.  I've found that my kids don't pay much attention anyway.

    When I SAH we went daily.  Now that I work FT, he only goes once a week there since I workout when DH is with him the other days.  I am picky about where I leave him, but our gym has an excellent daycare room.  They do have TV, but they have so many other things for him to do, he rarely watches the TV.  They have an indoor maze, basketball court for younger kids, computer game area, toys, indoor jungle gym type thing.

    We use our gym daycare almost every day (at least that is the goal). They have a HUGE tv, but DS is always so busy running around and playing that he doesn't even care that it is there. They have the big playgym/maze thing in the back, and that is where he goes most often. And he colors us pictures, etc. We pay only $5/month per kid to use it for 2 hours a day, and our gym membership is so expensive that we definitely are going to get our use out of it as much as possible.
