Before my partner and I had a kid, we belonged to the brand new LA Fitness in Renton. It was heaven. So clean, so new and so kid-free. And, it was cheap! I think we paid 23 a month each. For what we got, this was a steal.
However, now that we have a small family, I can’t say enough good things about the Y. Yes, it is a little grubby. Yes, the building is tired. And yes, there are kids everywhere. BUT, we feel really good about having a place where we can trust that our kid is safe and having fun while we work out (LA Fitness literally put kids in front of TVs in the childcare area.) I have also never waited for a cardio machine at the Y and the staff is always very friendly, even when I lose my locker key. Thankful for all that they do for our community despite their shortcomings.
