The Nation's #1 Anti-Obeisity Center?
The YM-motherfuckin-CA!

Little Mrs. Reed83 goes to school at the local Y. They are an awesome group of people.
We had a family membership. It is a great facility but it costs $72 a month. At the time, I was the only one using it. I switched and pay $20 a
month for my gym.
The Y had huge locker rooms. My gym does not.

Many Y participants benefit from financial assistance, and even full membership fees usually are less than commercial health clubs. Yet a survey of
10,000 gym users, just released by the independent watchdog group Consumer Reports, found that health facilities at Y's and other nonprofit centers
were generally better rated than big health-club chains. |

I don't doubt that BD. There is also a large sense of community at our Y. It just doesn't make sense financially for us to belong to the Y near us.
The pool is nice though. Pool or a pond.

so did you find a gym member ship for your whole family that's cheaper?
ours Y is $88/mo for four, including babysitting and crap like that.
i paid that much for a single membership in brooklyn!

We don't go as a whole family. MRs. Reed83 goes to a "Curves" type of place but she's stopping her membership. We bought an elyptical machine for
the basement that is getting some use.
We just don't use the whole thing as a family. If the whole BD Family is going to use it, $88 a month is a pretty good deal. Everyone is safe and
getting healthy. Also, if it has a pool, all the better. The pool does wonders for the kids. Heck, one night a week could be workout for mom and
dad while the kiddos hang at the day care center. Then another night of the week could be an all family swim.

yeah, our local Y has an indoor and outdoor pool.
they also offer a babysitting service one night month.
not the usual 'we watch your kids while you work out' kind of babysitting, i mean, 'we watch your kids for three hours while you go on a date' kind of
baby sitting.
of course, i still haven't signed up, but i plan to get to that this week.

Yeah, the "Kid's Night Out" thing is awesome. We have done that. What else is cool is that the people watching the kids are also some of the
teachers from the school. They already know them and it makes it easier leaving them.
It has an indoor AND outdoor pool? Holy shit, that is awesome!
