My family and I have been members of California Family Fitness for four years now and when people ask me what I love most about our gym, the answer is easy: the child care! There are many choices when looking for a gym in the Folsom and El Dorado Hills area, but only one has everything I am looking for when it comes to caring for my children.
When we first moved back to California four years ago, one of my top priorities was to find the best gym for my family and me. I searched the “boutique gyms” (El Dorado Hills Sports Club, Broadstone Raquetball Club, etc.) the well-known gyms (24 Hour, Anytime Fitness), but when I toured Cal Fit I instantly knew this gym had everything we were looking for. My kids were 6, 4, 3, and 6 months at the time so having a friendly and dependable child care option was essential and I felt Cal Fit went above and beyond in this department.
Cal Fit Folsom divides their childcare into two sections: Kidz Klub for ages 4 - 12 and Childcare for ages 3 months – 4. There is also a special infant room in the Childcare area. You don’t need an appointment to bring your little ones in as I found at other gyms. You will find an endless supply of toys and fun activities in this part of the child care as well as staff members with an endless amount of patience and an abundance of energy. There is also a playground for the kids to enjoy outside when the weather is nice with other outdoor toys to explore. The Kidz Klub caters to the older crowd and features video game systems, a playscape, air hockey, outdoor playground, and much more. Both sides offer different activities to keep kids occupied and having fun throughout the day. These activities include craft activities, yoga, and various games/activities. I can guarantee my kids are never bored and are frequently upset when I come pick them up because they are in the middle of having way too much fun!
One of the best things about the child care at Cal Fit Folsom is the hours: it is open for the majority of the day. There is no midday closure for the slow time, which is great when I have no time to get there in the morning and I know I can always make it in the early afternoon.
Another great thing about the child care is the employees. They truly take the time to get to know your kids and build a special bond. My four-year-old and I are at the gym almost daily and everyone knows and greets my son by his name when we arrive. They are always excited to see him and he just adores each and every one of the staff members. I love seeing the connection my kids form with some of the employees. We know that no matter who works in the child care, they will be amazing with the kiddos and I feel so lucky to leave my kids in such good hands.
Cal Fit Folsom’s child care hours are Monday-Friday, 8AM-9PM and Saturday-Sunday, 8AM-7PM. You can utilize the child care for up to two hours at a time, up to twice a day. All child care staff members have attended the Cal Fit Corporate extensive Child Care Training Program, cleared a thorough background check, and are CPR/First Aid and AED certified.
