The Great Escape: LA Fitness

Moms need a moment to get away, Douglasville's LA Fitness is a great place.

Whether you work outside the home or stay at home with your children, a mother’s work is never done.

We get everyone up and dressed, cook and wash dishes at least twice a day, make sure everyone gets to where they need to be, pick up after everyone, wash clothes and clean house, read stories, help with homework, run errands, make important meetings, attend sports and activities, and make sure everyone gets a good night’s sleep. 

Just reading the list can be exhausting.  Rarely do we have time for ourselves away from the children and family.

This week’s Great Getaway is a trip to LA Fitness on Chapel Hill Road.    

Exercise not only helps to lose weight and get fit; it helps to de-stress and relax.  LA Fitness is a great place to go and take a few hours for yourself.  Your children will enjoy the Kids Klub childcare while you take classes such as Cycle, Step Plus Abs, Kickbox Cardio, Body Works, pilates, yoga or Tai Chi.

You may prefer to do a low impact Aqua Fit class in the indoor pool or Latin Heat may be more your style.  In addition to the classes, LA fitness has racquetball, basketball, state of the art equipment for cycling, stepping, weight training, toning and stretching.  After a workout or a swim in the pool, you can relax in the whirlpool spa or the sauna. 

They have a full locker room with showers so when you’re done working out, you can leave fresh and ready for the rest of your busy day. 

For a limited time, you can get started with LA Fitness for $0 registration and $39 a month. You will have to pay first and last month ($80 total) and membership is all inclusive. Kids Klub is separate and only $5 per day or $15 per month per child. 

LA Fitness is open Monday through Thursday 5 a.m. to Midnight, Friday 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. and weekends 8 a.m to 8 p.m. Kids Klub hours are 8 a.m. to noon and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday; and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.
