I love exercising at our local YMCA. It is conveniently located and they have a good "Childwatch" program to leave the kids with. The staff is very friendly and low key. They did not pressure me to join when I toured, they just presented the information and let me decide on my own. (A friend toured another gym and they called back 10 times to see if she would join...ugh!) I also like that they are a Christian organization.
They offer classes, weights and lots of cardio equipment. In addition, there are lots of family and kids programs that my children will enjoy as they get older.
