Kimberly Wright said:Yeah, something like that. 😁

It’ll happen here eventually. One of these days.
Remember when everyone was making jokes about 24-hour gyms? Just wait.

Actually, I heard one just opened up near Central Park.

But honestly, the concept is solid—I hit one of those in Oslo once. You head out at 10 PM thinking you'll be the only soul there, and nope—half the gym is packed. You walk outside at midnight and it still feels like daytime. 🤣

Great for anyone dealing with insomnia, I guess. 😁

Kimberly Wright said:Bringing up the lady at the front desk again—we're totally off-topic now. If we assume someone hits the gym three times a week, childcare for a single week ends up costing barely more than a monthly membership. It basically doubles the usual price. Still seems like a reasonable trade-off to me.

Childcare isn't cheap, obviously, not with how things are priced here.
Though, if it comes down to it, I probably won't have much of a choice anyway. 😁

The alternative is waiting until the kid starts preschool—then you drop them off early before work or pick them up late after, squeezing a workout in the middle. 🤷
Until then, you just scrape by with home workouts.

I assume that just isn't a profitable model. If it were, you'd see massive developments in China built entirely around play centers.

Play centers survive on birthday party bookings, and they constantly smell like old juice boxes. Childcare simply isn't a lucrative business. 😁

Kimberly Wright, I thought of you today because some mom just rolled into my gym with a baby in a stroller. There's still hope for you out there. 👋
