Yes, this place has kids but some people make it sound like it is a day care. My kids stay in an enclosed area while my wife or I work out. Yes, there are pools and activities designed for kids/families. And yes, this gym is located in a suburb with a lot of kids.
I don't enjoy all of the services they try to sell you at first, but I do enjoy having very clean equipment and locker rooms. Yes, it is pricy, but my family found that by cutting other services, this gym cost us an additional $70 a month for the four of us, which is not too shabby. Furthermore, I would rather pay that price than putting in and maintaining a pool; I think I make out in the long-run.
My wife goes here three or four times a week, and I try to make it twice a week. We also take the kids swimming a few times a month and they are in the summer day camps which are the same price as other local camps but have our kids way more active and busy.
