how far do you drive to the gym

[momof5]

and what would you consider too far to drive? The gym that we are thinking of switching to is further is twice the distance of our other gym and that is one of the biggest reasons we haven't already left so I was wondering how long it takes you to get to your gym?

35 minutes each way 8 times a week. it takes any where from 40 mins to an hour when we have snow, which is basically from Dec to April. My 2 girls train different days and times. m,t,w,t,f,s.

This is the nearest gym.

Don't ask about my gas bill.

60 miles each way - yuck!

3 months ago, I would have happily said less then 1.5 miles...

Most days it is about an hour and 15 minutes away. I am not looking forward to the winter travel during what the farmers almanac predicts "a lot more snow than we have had in a long time."

Unlike bog, at least I have 2 other fams to carpool with - sorry bogs

Right now I am happy to say less than 3 miles each way! Previously, about 15 miles each way.

While I would say I would drive to the end of the earth for my kids, only 1 does gymnastics, so 1/2 way to the end of the earth?? My husband on the other hand thinks anything more than 15 minutes is ridiculous.

I think the distance would depend on each persons family. For mine, we are all much happier now.

We live 5 miles from DDs gym. I am very thankful for that as I hate driving. Lucky for my DD as well because I limit any classes we go to or take to 15 miles, though if it was all freeway and at a low traffic time, I would go up to 25 miles. I really really hate driving and my toddler isn't much for it either, so we try to avoid long distances except for special field trips, etc.

We have 3 other gyms within a 15 mile or less radius. The benefits (though not sure if the bad outweighs the good) of living in a big city. 60 miles radius and I think we have about 10-15 gyms.

Kudos to you mamas who are willing to do the drive!! Your kiddos are lucky! I hope they appreciate it.

We drive about 15 - 20 minutes. There is another gym about the same distance. Have not tried it, not really interested - but I think it is a good gym. There are several others but all at least 30 minutes away.

Our gym is about 12 miles away. With no traffic 20 minutes each way. When I drop her off at 5:00 during rush hour it is more like 40 minutes each way - and I absolutely HATE traffic !!!! There is a gym really close and all back roads, no traffic, but of course my dd hated that gym

1 hour and 10 minutes on a good day. There are 2 gyms closer, but they are all very small and more for cheering, not comp.

I live in the boonies so it takes me 20-30 minutes to drive anywhere! My dd gym is close to my MILs so we travel over there every other weekend anyway

35 minutes each way, three days a week. I just hang out and the gym and watch during practice, rather than go back and forth and back and forth every time.

A little less than 15 minutes away is our gym. There are a couple of other gyms about the same distance but I prefer ours because I got a "great first impression" and I love the coaches, staff, parents and kids! It's a great gym!
