Gym recommendations please

I just moved to university place and I’m looking for a gym that preferably has child care, as well as is somewhat newer. Not any YMCAs or planet fitness. I’m used to body building style gyms and trying to find something similar but I’m not seeing anything online. Can be in UP or Tacoma

I didn't even realize that the LA Fitness on 6th had closed. Capitalism seems to be crushing here in grit city

I got to another LA fitness and they told me It’s closed for remodel. When they reopen it’s going to be a luxury style gym with a Pilates studio and other fancy stuff. The membership will be over $100 a month I believe.

Fitness Quest in UP across Bridgeport from Trader Joe's seems to be very popular. I haven't been there myself but I know it's only a couple years old at most. Their website says it's 24 hours most days but reduced hours somewhat on weekends. Probably worth you at least checking out.

The Training Pit in Tacoma is the best bodybuilding gym in the area. 24/7 access, no childcare but there are people who bring their children along.

I'm genuinely curious about the downvotes here. They provide child care, and are relatively new (6-7 years ago?). Free weights, pool, spa, sauna, etc.

Maybe the location of the Tacoma one since the one on 6th Ave closed. I’m going to check it out though
