We know that balancing fitness and family can be challenging, which is why we created Kids Cove: a safe, fun, and engaging space where younger children can play while parents focus on their workout. Kids Cove provides up to 2 hours of supervised activities, games, and creative play for your little ones, giving parents the time and peace of mind they need to focus on themselves.
