I generally go as soon as I can after the creche hours open at my gym (8:20am). Or if it is a kindy day I go straight after kindy drop off (generally get there about 8:40am).
If I have something on in the morning which means I can't get to the gym I will go before all the children wake up (gym opens at 5:25am and I am generally back home by 6am as I do a quick work out).
I aim for 3 times per week, but often settle for 2 times. And while I do like classes, I will more often do cardio and then the strength training weights line (set of 6 exercises). Classes are harder to coordinate with sleep/feeds/arriving on time etc.
None of this really helps you PN as I don't work and I live super close to my gym.
I prefer mornings too. I find its less likely to happen if I leave it to the evenings (although I can often go in the afternoon when DS is at kindy but unfortunately they don't have classes on then).
When I worked full time, I used to go to a gym close by to work. It is a pain organising clothes, toiletries etc but I was always a lot more awake and more productive at work after a gym class!
My gym days are Tues, Wed and Thurs. I go straight after work (it is a minute drive from office), then come home. Tues I am still home in time for doing dinner, DH does it on he other two days. They are my gym days as they are the only days that DH can pick up DD from ASC. I've got some videos at home that I sometimes do on the weekends or go for a run. Motivation for that is difficult compared to going to the gym.
In my pre child life, I never made it to the gym if I went home first - far too easy to get distracted. I'm also no good doing exercise in the morning as I usually end up with a headache.
