Ventura currently is over run with gyms from big box chains to boutique fitness groups to crossfit, etc. but hands down the best one for families is the YMCA. The youth programs are amazing. My son started swim lessons at 6 months and now is enrolled in their new toddler music class which he adores. Although I leave with Raffi jams stuck in my head for the rest of the day it's a small price to pay to see how much fun he's having. He's starting their itty bitty sports programs in January when he turns 2. To be able to have proper childcare for my son that he looks forward to while I work out as well is also blessing that wasn't able to find at other gyms. Everyone is welcoming and friendly and they have everything for adults on the fitness side from a weight room to cardio equipment to the pool to the sauna. Can't say enough. The Y is more than a gym but it's also the best gym in town. Just wanted to acknowledge how much the place means to me and give everyone there some well deserved kudos!
