Good Place to Work Out in Denton or Flower Mound
I am looking for a good-great place to loose this baby weight.:} I have tried the YMCA in Flower Mound a couple times(free day pass)and they seem ok. I am going to check out Lifetime fitness in flower mound tomorrow. I would like something with good equipment, but also good for my kids. Anybody a member of either of these or a place in Denton? (ex: Brickhouse) I noticed LA Fitness is being built in Denton, any opinions on that place? I love the indoor pool options at LTF but have read some bad reviews for the company. Hubby like kids programs options at Y, but haven't experienced it yet, to know if its good or not.

I live in Denton but work in Highland Village and have been a member at LA Fitness for about year. I really enjoy the staff, and the facility. It is clean, and I feel very relaxed and not overwhelmed. I do use the "Kid's Klub" for both of my children. They always adress my child by her first name and seem to be some what interactive with the children. My only grip is sometimes the child/caregiver group seems a little large.

M.-
I LOVE Lifetime in Flower Mound. They offer something everyone in my family enjoys. I enjoy the classes and childcare, my Dh enjoys the state of the art equipment, my kids love the pools and have even rock climbed there. They offer full spa services and you can leave the kiddos in childcare while you get your hair cut, colored , a facial, massage....whatever you choose.
It is a great place to work out.

I was a member at Lifetime until last night and we are joining LA Fitness in Highland Village. LA is a good gym but we loved Lifetime. Lifetime cost my husband and I $90 a month. LA is going to cost us $60. At the end of the day we decided Lifetime was not worth the extra $30 a month. If we had kids we might consider Lifetime because it is more family friendly. In the summer you can use is more like a community center and spend the day out at the pool. LA does not offer that type of atmosphere.
Good Luck,

Hi M.- I work at Lifetime Fitness in Flower Mound and I love it. We were members there for 3 years before I started working there. The child care is wonderful for you and for the kids. We love the outdoor pool in the summer time and you can even take the kids to child care and enjoy some pool time by yourself for a bit before going to get them. My kids complain sometimes about having to go to the gym of course, bu they love it when they get there. I think they do a great job with daily activities. My friend was a member at the Health and Athletic and moved to Lifetime because there was not child care on Sundays. I don't know if that is still their policy.
All of the group fitness classes are great and they have fantastic personal trainers if you were ever interested in that.
I teach yoga in the Mind/Body Studio, so if you join, be sure to stop in and take a yoga class.
I hope you have a great experience visiting today.

Hi there! I just wanted to let you know about Baby Boot Camp! Babybootcamp.com ( I think that's the web site). I'm a member. We work out 3 times a week with a personal trainer. And you bring your kids! There are different class schedules. I do Tuesday and Thursday 6-7 at a preschool outside park. Ava plays in the playgound. Saturday is at the Golden Triangle Mall. Ava usually stays in her stroller. Check it out! I love it! I think its on mamasource too!
Good luck!

We love Health and Athletic Center in Parker Square. They have great childcare, an indoor pool and over 100 free classes a month with membership. They also have GREAT programs for your 6 year old. We have been very pleased.
