Agoura Hills Spectrum Club

I’ve been a member of Spectrum Club now for about a year. The gym is fairly clean, the staff is friendly, and the equipment is up-​to-​date. This particular location is classier than the one in Canoga Park. It is a newer facility, set on a hill, in a beautiful location. Upon entering the place, the first thing you notice is the giant indoor pool just behind the receptionist. This club has plenty of different cardio machines. I have yet to wait for one to open up, but I prefer to workout in the mornings, where traffic may be different from the evenings. Some of the treadmills face out, overlooking the beautiful T.O./Agoura Hills landscape. Most of the machines have their own TV monitors which you can plug into and control. This facility has a well stocked free weights room and a variety of weight machines. There is only one of each kind of weight machine, so there may be a wait if you need to work on that particular exercise. The membership includes a wide variety of group classes to choose from, but I have yet to attend one so I have no opinion there. The only drawback to this club is the price, $ 85 a month. This is an all inclusive price which includes: towel service, group classes, pool use, and use of the 3 nearby locations (Agoura Hills, Canoga Park, and Valencia). Is it worth it? I guess it’s all a matter of personal preference and budget. Personally, I prefer to workout at cleaner, up-​to-​date gyms where you don’t have to wait for machines.

I’m a member of this gym, and honestly it is the first gym I had joined since I quit 24-​Hour @ the Sherman Oaks Galleria back in ’03. This is an expensive club to be a member of. But i feel the amenities need to step it up and the managment needs to put the I into interest again. My primary reason for joining the gym was for one thing and one thing only… Basketball. Yes sirry, the game I can’t wait to play at any given moment. Yes that game that millions of people watch and like to play. Well much to my dismay not many people know of what time basketball starts at, or pick up games. See if the gym cared they would put up flyers to tell their basketball playing members to be at the gym at a certain time to play pick-​up games. But do they? Nope, i don’t think so… i digress… anyways the towels are rough. I would think paying so much monthly fees would provide me with new towels every other month. I mean in the bigpicture they buy those towels at $.50 per towel, if not less. Change em at least every other month. They are not absorbent and they are rough. Otherwise this gym is clean and in good shape. Pun…

Ok, their boot camp class makes it feel like my lungs are bleeding.
I take boot camp class and strength and toning 3 times a week… and it pains me!
But I always feel so good after I do it. I can’t force myselt to that «level» of exercise, so it’s a good thing that the instructor pushes me to get there.
I always get a full body work out and thankfully the music is nice and up to date, no «jock jams» or anything.
