Alright mama, this is the year you said you’d put your body and your well-being first and I’m here to make that a lot easier on you.
One of the biggest hurdles to working out as a mom is childcare, so I’ve done the legwork for you. Below you’ll find a list of gyms and fitness options in Wilmington that offer childcare (or kid-friendly workouts), along with approximate monthly costs, childcare ages, and schedules to help you quickly find the best fit near you.
It’s truly a win-win: you get time to move your body, clear your head, and recharge while your kids get to play, socialize, and have fun.
