World Gym - 'Racine, WI —
I wanted a good-quality gym with childcare, and I found that at World Gym. It's not the fanciest health club in town (no pool, no hot tub, no racquetball courts), and perhaps it's for that reason that it's never crowded. It is, however, priced amazingly aggressively ($20 a month!) and for that, there's not a thing I needed that was missing. The childcare costs are included, rather than tacked on top as at many other clubs I checked, and the childcare room is brightly lit and spacious. There is a good variety of equipment and machines available; I haven't even explored the majority of it, so far, but I'm looking forward to it! The classes are in a separate room, and a large assortment of styles are available.
I'd recommend World Gym to anybody looking for a good cost-to-return ratio. Why pay twice as much for frills that aren't necessary?
