10 Sacramento Area Gyms With Childcare

Let’s be honest. Fitness routines can be difficult to maintain — especially if you have to sneak away from the kids to carve out an hour of dedicated workout time. Thankfully, there are a number of gyms in the Sacramento area that offer childcare! This eliminates at least one excuse to skip the gym as you attempt to stick to your New Year’s resolution this year.

Many of these childcare centers are free with a gym membership, some offer a wide range of hours, and all provide a fun and safe environment for kids to play while you hit the treadmill.
