A lot of people complain about the price for this gym. The monthly cost is due to the sauna, rock climbing wall, steam rooms, main gym area, towel service, and most group classes (aerobics and such). Childcare costs are not included in the membership price. Child memberships are $10/mo per kid; I dare anyone who goes to the gym regularly to say that they spend less than that for a babysitter or childcare at other gyms (LA Fitness wanted $20/mo per child for untrained childcare associates) Places like planet fitness, fitness 19, etc., ... that are $30/mo often do not have a pool, sauna, steam room, or towel service; if you are looking for a basic gym, then those are for you. However, be warned that those places also tend to have faulty equipment, dirty locker rooms, poor customer service, and a yearly fee on top of your monthly fee (you get what you pay for). LA Fitness on Polaris Pkwy and Hamilton Rd are run down and the trainers hound you everytime your there.
Lifetime Fitness is clean, the machines work, the trainers don't bother you to sign up evey time you're there, they have childcare available for most of the day (other gyms only offer childcare in the morning and evening), and plenty of classes available. I pay $79/mo (including my 2 kids) and it's well worth it. They also have basketball and raquetball courts.
