Spectrum should be ashamed of itself.

by o2binla

I've been a member for a few months now and I am very disappointed. With high monthly dues, this gym is trying to be "high-end", yet there are always machines out of order and the place feels like it's falling apart. The view of the ocean is nice and the cafe is good, but that's about all I can say that is positive. The billing practices are highly unethical and you will get taken advantage of in any way they can get away with it. I hear people all the time complaining in there about how the rates were quietly raised without notification, or how they will still charge you for two months after you cancel. All they care about is getting as much money as possible for as little in return. I think I'll cancel and try Equinox in Santa Monica.

• Pros: Ocean view, good cafe, one free personal trainer session.
• Cons: Shabby, needs upgrading, unethical business practices.

Amazing Childcare and Birthday Parties

by vicki71

I have been a member at Spectrum for almost a year and have had nothing but great experiences. I started taking my 2 children (age 3 and 5) to the Kid's Club about 6 months ago and they have a blast. Normally I would worry about leaving my kids with strangers, but after meeting the staff and seeing them interact with the kids I was immediately relieved. In addition, to the number of services the kid's club offers, they also offer a birthday party planning service. I recently had my 5 year-old daughters birthday party at the club and it turned out to be the easiest and funnest party I've had for my kids! The spacious setting, fun equipment, friendly and organized staff, and very reasonable prices are a few of the awesome perks! Try it and I guarentee you will love it!

Wonderful kids Care!!!

by nicole45

To start off the kids area is amazing, not only are there tons of things for kids to do and play; the staff is great. They are attentive to all the kids and are very welcoming towards friends and family members. They also offer a parents night out which my husband and I needed so much!!!!! I highly recommend this club.
