There are family friendly gyms where moms can bring their children in. But sometimes kid friendly areas can be closed for a period of time which in turn leads the kids to “play” in the adult area. This can be hazardous to the kids with the heavy equipment but also to senior citizens as kids run rampantly without paying attention to their surroundings.

Key Takeaways:

• Moms at the Gym, we need to talk. Our gym is family-friendly, which is great. In most cases, your kids are very well-behaved, and you’re always nearby.
• However, in the summertime, there appears to be a loophole in our gym’s rules about young children running rampant.
• Sometimes in the afternoon, a storm will roll through, forcing the staff to close the pool for a couple of hours. When that happens, your kids hang out to wait for the pool to open again, and out of sheer boredom, they gravitate toward the treadmills, weights and exercise bicycles.

“People have asked why I don’t complain about your kids. It isn’t the staff’s job to kick your kids off the running track. It’s your responsibility to either stay with them or check them into the day care.”
