If you decide on the Langata area as @jkmwatha has proposed, you can venture further up the road to Sadili Oval (Malezi School). Don't know the rates but its nice and other activities too, both for you and the kids.

How effective is a gym? Especially the treadmill? I used to think am so sawa since i would hit the treadmill at speeds of 12-20Kph consistently for like 20 minutes, reducing the speed to 5-10 for the last 10 minutes or so.

...until I tried the real thing - running on the road, you realize how unfit you are. So, if you can, hit the road early in the morning and come back to the house to shower then head to work. Do press-ups, a bit of weights in the house (you can improvise with jerricans, mitungi, mama etc, run up and down the stairs. Its super effective and very cheap.

Precisely, and if possible do some swimming at least once a week - some concils schools have swimming pools and charge kshs 100/session. You will be sawasawa.

whenever you excersise in the gymn try to force your body to be natural if in a treadmill alternate do different things and not routine infact try random to simulate normal life,otherwise i agree you can run for 30 mins but in real life even walking 10 mins become a challenge

The problem is---if you have young kids at home,how can you play with mitungi??The kids will join the flay and it will no longer be an work-out session...

Super Highway Options : KU is cool but its so full - though great for a bachelor (1800 for public). Eldorado Guest House (After Roysambu) 2000 per month with a great instructor its also not that full + Safe parking.
Keep it simple
