Less than 10% of gyms out there have childcare / daycare services. In fact, our latest count as of November 2024 showed just 986 gyms in the nation with the amenity. Here's the breakdown:
- Boutique fitness chains/country clubs are the highest priced gym offerings, and often have a gigantic amenities list. They are Bay Club, Life Time and Equinox, and these gyms absolutely offer childcare as part of their fitness-as-a-lifestyle approach.
- Mid-priced gym options ($30 to $50+ monthly) also offer childcare, as they have a larger square-footage footprint to accommodate the dedicated kid-space. These are chains like Crunch, Chuze, EoS,Gold's and VASA, and previously 24 Hour Fitness.
- Finally, chains like Anytime Fitness and Planet Fitness—on the more inexpensive $9.99 and $19.99 spectrum—don't offer childcare as it's an expensive amenity that would drive up monthly membership costs. Check out the summary of gym chains below. We have the exact list you won't find anywhere else.
- Note: we get this question super often: 24 Hour Fitness DOES NOT have childcare! (as of November 2024)
