How much is your gym membership?

[Anonymous]

I go to Orange Theory 4-5 times a week and use their strength classes now along with regular style. $159/month. Worth it to me! I like someone telling me what to do! And I’ve been for a few years now and have gained muscle and feel good. I want to add in yoga six but I don’t have that much time.

Yes to both!

Would love to see your schedule.are you going at 5am and in bed by 10?

I take 2 - 45 minute classes everyday (barre, yoga, HIIT, spin, lift) beginning at 6 am, back home 8ish, WFH in front of computer 8:45/9

So your spouse does drop off and pickup? If you start work at 9, you would finish at 530, which would be end of aftercare at best, and likely no afternoon activities?

DP. Why TF do you care? Some of us prioritize exercise and have the flexibility/financial means to do so. I go to the gym for 1 1/2-2 hours too. And I have 3 kids.

Blow me

I don't go to the gym for 2 hours per day, but I really don't get the disbelief that it is possible, or the disdain for those that do it.

We all have different means and different priorities, and there is nothing wrong (and quite a lot right) about prioritizing fitness.

But by prioritizing fitness something is being sacrificed -- if you have a job, you still need to spend time with your kids outside the 8-6 that is the normal work window (commute, personal care, etc). Subtract 2 more hours and you basically have no more daylight for your kids. We make it work by split shifting -- I get up at 5 to get to work by 6, leave at 3, pickup the kids and take them to their activities and make dinner; spouse wakes with them, gets them to school and then gets to work around 9, and returns home around 6pm. Finally by 6pm we have dinner as a family, do any homework or chores outstanding, and kids are in bed by 9. Some nights I go to the gym at 9pm , but getting up at 5am I can't do that every night.

So when someone says they work full time, have kids, and do 2 hours of gym EVERY DAY -- I am really curious how that works. Like do some jobs give you gym time as a health initiative? Maybe a gym program co-located with their kids soccer program (I could see St James being an option like that - drop the kids for soccer practice, squeeze in workout right there easy peasy -- I usually go for short walks or jump rope during practice, but often times also catch up on some work or other personal paperwork tasks). Or maybe there is some other arrangement that people have found that allows for 2 hours of gym time, 3 kids with their own lives and activities, and a full time professional job -- hence my questions.

And this questions actually circles back to my original questions. I'm trying to justify purchasing a family membership at a lifetime gym (its like $200/month), and I am trying to show how it will be one of those arrangements that allows for the family to work out together (we all can play racquetball together, or tennis, golf simulator, etc and when the kids are older they can use the gym with us). It won't solve the team sports problem, but at least it means if we go to the gym we can combine it with family time in some instances.

PP here. A question that asks how that PP arranges her life to fit it in is fine. But there was more than that ("blow me.")

That PP said she does it before work and that she WFH. So the only time that is being taken away by exercise is 6-8 am.

Option: Kids are old enough to get themselves out the door in the morning or partner does it.

Everything else is just the routine juggling of being a working parent.

It really seems like your issue is with how to get your kids to sports teams practice. Options- carpool, work out in the morning so it doesn't conflict, workout late at night, reevaluate whether their practices are near enough and safe enough for them to walk to.

If partner does it who does pickup of she is working a full work day?

I WFH a full work day. My kids get themselves home from school. When they were in daycare, I picked them up at the end of my work day.

Also many people do have flexibility in their work schedules.

Is your actual question here "How do people who work typical 9-5 working hours handle kids commitments"?

IF it is I really recommend you ask that question on a different forum and in a different thread. You'll get lots of helpful answers.

For example, many of my child's activities start around 6:00 after the work day. Many of my child's activities take place at the school they go to so they just stay late. I work carpools to do the pick up instead of the drop off frequently, and I use some flexibility or leave options at my job when I can't otherwise make it work.

I don’t. I never said I did. I was 4 classes a month but they had a special offering 8 for the same price.

$200/year for access to all county fitness centers. One is within walking distance and I use it regularly. I used to pay over $200/month for a gym. So glad I dropped it. Now I go for runs or walks and just top that off at the neighborhood fitness center.
