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.
Sheraton Santa Clarita
After a unanimous vote the planning commission approved the permit to build the Sheraton on the corner of McBean and Valencia Blvd. The hotel will be similar in size to the Hyatt and also have a restaurant as well as plenty of meeting and banquet rooms.
The Greens will be torn down and the Sheraton will rise in its place.
The hotel is scheduled to open in December of 2010 at 26501 McBean Parkway. The Galaxy Car Wash will remain, as will the Shell station and the SCV Transit Center.
