We didn't get a family membership. The children would only be able to use the gym on Saturdays for 3 hours in the afternoon. Each child membership is the same as an adult membership. The cost of memberships seems strange to me, because of the limited availability for children/youth.
It was good to get back to working out again. I'm being much more reasonable with my goals this time. I've started out with 30 minutes each day for the first week. It was surprising how much more distance I was able to cover on the treadmill or bike by the end of the week.

She won't be thrilled with getting up earlier, but she'll appreciate it when the weather changes and we have time to play.
