First I looked at the YMCA. At $40.00/month plus whatever the joining fee is, the cost is a little more than I want to spend to have access to an elliptical roughly 3 times/week. I thought about joining just to get member rates on J's swimming lessons and youth programs, but you have to have a family membership to qualify for those. The family membership is $60.00/month.
Pros:
Lots of offerings - classes, lessons, circuit machines, weights, elliptical, trainers, daycare, family oriented
Cons:
Cost, location, joining fee
Next up, I looked at Fitness 19. They have a membership sale going on this week - $15.00/month with no joining fee! I think this may be a contender. Not to mention, they are located just a few blocks from my sister's house, so it would be easy-peasy to get my workout in either going or coming from taking care of J.
Pros:
Inexpensive, weights, elliptical, trainers, daycare, location, no joining fee
Cons:
No curcuit machines, no classes (though I probably wouldn't take them anyway)
Pros:
Classes, weights, curcuit, elliptical, no joining fee, 3 locations
Cons:
$20 key cost, no daycare (though I probably wouldn't need it anyway)
Pros:
Curcuit, women-only, 1-day free pass
Cons:
Hours, cost (I'm assuming - couldn't find the cost anywhere on their website), no daycare
Pros:
Classes, weights, curcuit, elliptical, trainers, locally owned, daycare
Cons:
Cost
Pros:
Classes, weights, curcuit, elliptical, trainers, massage, 7-day free pass, locally owned, location, daycare
Cons:
Cost
Ding, ding, ding. I think Fitness 19 is the winner.

I think that the proximity is the most important. If it's a trek to get there, forget it - I won't find the time. Sounds like Fitness 19 has all the good stuff you want.
Hey there! I own a Curves and they are great facilities. They do not offer price info on their websites because their joining fee is always subject to change. Currently it is $) to join and just $34 per month. It is a 1/2 hour workout for just 3 ties a week and now offers Zumba classes within their circuit training. Fabulous!!!
I would go with the cheapest as well, cos one of the problem is going to the gym ^_^; So cheapest is best imo.
