WOW! Work Out World, Waterford
 If you are a parent who likes a gym and only needs childcare during a work out occassionally, this is the place for you. Childcare is available by appointment only (must call at least 24 hours ahead) and for an extra fee ($4 for 1 child, $6.50 for 2), so it is a good option to have even if you don’t use it too often.
