10 Reasons Why I Think Spectrum is the Best Gym in the SCV

With the New Year rolling in, many of us will be making resolutions to lose weight right? I know I always do.  I recently converted from LA Fitness to Spectrum and LOVE it.  I know it IS more expensive.  Very true.  However, I think it’s worth it.  I think you really have to like where you work out in order to go there.  Here are my favorite things about Spectrum Health Clubs.

• Towels - They provide towel service with no limit on how many you can use.
• Cleanliness - There is always an employee there cleaning the equipment.  I can’t recall getting on a machine and realizing it was dirty.
• Staff - They are NICE.  All of them.  I am always greeted with a smile.
• Machines - There are LOTS.  It is VERY rare that I have to wait to use a machine.
• Private Classrooms – There are many classes and 3 rooms.  In the evening you can go and work out in one of the rooms alone if you want some privacy.
• Steam - I love that they offer a sauna AND a steam room.  The steam is so good for your skin.
• Locks - Most all of the lockers have locks attached.  All you have to do is change the code and put your stuff away.  No more worrying about bringing or buying locks.
• Locker Rooms – One word…CLEAN…there is often an employee cleaning.  The locker rooms are big and have private showers.  They also provide soap, shampoo, q-tips, hairspray and mouthwash. (Oh and all the towels you will need.)
• TVs – Almost all of the treadmills and elliptical machines have your own separate TV.  This (besides the towels) is my favorite thing.  No more having to read what you are watching.  Just bring your headphones.
• ZUMBA - There is a certified Zumba instructor and they offer 3 classes a week.

So there they are, my favorite things about Spectrum Health Club.  If you join, ask for Bill.  He is my favorite.  Please tell him Barbara Boser sent you and maybe I’ll get a referral bonus.

Spectrum is located across the Hyatt by the mall.  Still not sure?  You don’t have to take my word for it.  They will offer you a free work out to see if you like it.

Valencia Exotic Car Club

There’s a new car club in town and this is one I’ll shout from the roof top.

Have you ever wanted to drive a Maserati or a Lamborghini?  Do you yearn for the finer things in life, but feel limited because you don’t live in the city?  Well, check this out.

Valencia Exotic Car Club is exactly what it sounds like.  It is a club that is located in the SCV and offers its members the opportunity to experience the finer things in life without leaving the city limits.

Basically how it works is that once you become a member you are given access to drive one of the club cars for either one week a month to two weeks per month depending on your membership. 

So if you’re a business owner, hmmm could this be a tax write off for you?  I’m guessing maybe.  If you’re tired of always driving the same car and want to try something else out to impress you friends, this could be for you.

The owners of this club are local residents with a passion for helping people have exotic experiences.
