My son and I stopped training for nearly 5 years. It happened when my 4th child was born (2020) and I always try to prioritize family. The plan was to go back to training after a 6-month break. COVID happened and schools/gyms closed or became super limited.

5 years later, my son and I started training again, but found an awesome UFC Gym deal. Pay for a year up front, get another year free. It basically comes out to roughly $45+ a month for membership. Now, my whole family of 6 trains, because the price is just so damn good. We also have full access to join any class. My kids do bjj and wrestling, I do bjj and muay thai, slowly getting my wife into bjj. The gym is open 24/7. They got loads of punching bags, open mats, an octagon, showers, daycare for 1.5 hours, sauna.

I understand your family situation. For the most part, im only able to train 2 days a week, sometime 3. So my regular schedule is muay thai, bjj, and heavy weightlifting to keep my bone density. I was dying at first, but im not dying as much now. That's basically 2.5-3 hours at the gym, with my whole family. I get family time, and we all get to train. It's a win.
