Child Care and Kids’ Club

All-Inclusive Members receive complimentary Child Care for kids ages 3 months to 9 years old on their membership. For up to 1.5 hours daily, work out, enjoy a massage, or just kick back and relax, kid-free! Not only does our Child Care staff love to get on the floor and play with the kids and lead board games or crafts, but you can also rest assured knowing that they are all CPR/AED/First Aid trained and certified and have undergone extensive background checks.

Our spacious Child Care room for infants to 4-year-olds features a view of the pools and pool deck—a kid favorite! infant swings and a separate foam-matted play area, a quiet nursing nook, plenty of natural light, regularly cleaned and sanitized toys and books, and a small outdoor patio play area. Kids’ Club, for 5- to 9-year-olds, is in the Teen Lounge with board games galore, foosball table, and full access to the Art Room supplies!

Take care of YOU while the youngest members of your family are in safe (and fun-loving!) hands. Our Child Care and Kids’ Club services make coming to the gym easier than ever. Full disclosure: the most difficult part is getting the kids to leave!
