Questions
Which Bay Area gyms have childcare in the evening?
As of Oct 27, 2026, 23 Bay Area gyms publish childcare hours that run past 6 pm on at least one day. The latest we found is 8:30 pm at Lakeridge Athletic Club in El Sobrante (Monday to Friday). Several YMCAs and Bay Club Fremont run until 8 pm on some weekdays.
Is gym childcare open on weekends?
Usually only in the morning. Most weekend sessions end between noon and 2 pm. Lakeridge Athletic Club runs until 3 pm on weekends, and Oakwood Athletic Club in Lafayette runs 8 am to 7 pm every day.
Is gym childcare open on Fridays and Sundays?
Check before you go. Several YMCA of Silicon Valley branches close Kids’ Club on Fridays or Sundays, and most Friday sessions are mornings only.
Gyms that don’t publish childcare hours aren’t in these tables (for example Life Time Walnut Creek, Equinox Palo Alto and the MNT Pilates studios). Holiday hours differ; confirm with the club.
