I have been thinking about joining the YMCA. I know that they will waive the initiation fee for family membership as their summer promo. The membership is $75/month and I am just not sure if it is worth paying for. They do offer a lot of free classes for adults for free but none really for the children! There are a lot of classes that are offered but with extra pay. It is nice for some adults that have little children because they can take advantage to the free childcare but what about school kids age? They should at least lower the family membership or lower the fee for children’s classes.  I want the idea of free pool use and the  free group adult programs are enticing though. They have cycling, kickboxing, zumba and yoga! I already have one of those colorful yoga mats and I want to put it into more work.  Plus, we are going to a vacation and I know that our locations here has what they call an AWAY program but the place I am going to is not a full participant so it means that I have to pay the membership that won’t be use  very well on the first month! I can always when we get back but I have no idea if their summer promo will still be available.  I should just follow my oldest son’s suggestion: Just do all those great group activities at home and for free!!! I might as well do that
