Lifetime Fitness - www.lifetimefitness.com. 8310 Wilkens Boulevard, Mason, OH 45040 (513-234-0660). I'm a bit biased towards Lifetime since we're members but I absolutely love this place. It has a wonderful huge outdoor pool with 0-depth entry, a mushroom water feature, two waterslides, and an area for lap swimming. There are plenty of seats surrounding the pool and they have an outdoor cafe. There's also an outdoor hot tub.
One of the bonuses of being a member is being able to use their child care center so I sometimes tell my girls that Mommy needs to "work out" so they get to go have fun in an awesome and fun supervised and very safe indoor child's play area and then I'll head to the pool for an hour by myself to relax or read a book and then I'll come back to get them to swim. It makes a happy day for all involved.
When the outdoor pool closes for the season, head inside to the wonderful indoor pool facilities complete with waterslides, hot tubs and fun. They also have a huge indoor soccer field - sometimes we go and just let the girls run around, kick a soccer ball and have some fun. There's an indoor rock climbing wall (ages 5 and up) and my daughter, Kaitlin, really likes this. There are basketball courts and racquet ball courts as well. Additionally, there is a cafe on site that has some really good kid's meals.
For the adults (and kid's ages 12 and up), in addition to the swimming facilities, Lifetime's second floor specifically caters to the work out enthusiast - they have it all from bikes to eliptical trainers, to free weights to nautilus type equipment. They have rowing machines and step machines - everything and anything you could ever want to work out with - they even have personal trainers that you can hire to keep you motivated. In addition to the work out equipment, they offer plenty of free work out classes to help you reach your fitness goals. There locker rooms are unbelievable and they have saunas and steam rooms in both the men's and women's rooms. There are free towels to use so you don't have to lug those around with you. An on-site hair salon and spa is also available to use (general public can make appointments as well).
Mason Community Center - www.imaginemason.org. 6050 Mason-Montgomery Road, Mason, Ohio (513-229-8555). The MCC has so much to offer for families.

swim lessons and have swimming facilities (featuring the Red Cross learn-to-swim programs). Check their website on how

StrollerFit - www.strollerfit.com - I wish I would've know about StrollerFit after having my kids since it is a great place to make new Mommy friends while having your children on site with you as you move and groove and have fun - is this really exercise? Check out StrollerFit with Denyce Holley. She's a local Mason Mom who has opened two StrollerFit franchises. I think of StrollerFit as a mobile fitness center since many of her classes are held outdoors during the warmer months. You can also read more about Denyce and why she opened her own franchise on Associated Content.
