Editorial Review for Spectrum Clubs - Howard Hughes – by Audrey D. Brashich
The Scene
When gym rats look around this spotless club, they'll think they've reached fitness nirvana. With everything from an in-house cafe that prepares made-to-order meals to a 25-meter, eight-lane pool that's never crowded, the facilities are first-class. Fitness buffs won't need to fight off any leering players while working out; the gym's upwardly mobile members just want a hard-core workout in a superior setting.
The Details
This 37,000-square-foot club has all the essentials: an airy cardio loft overlooking a well-equipped weight-training area, two exercise studios, a dedicated Spinning area, a steam room and sauna. Spectrum also stocks cutting-edge fitness frills, like medicine balls, stretch tubes, free weights and jump ropes. Treadmills are always available, but during peak hours, gym-goers may have to wait for elliptical trainers or cross-trainers. Group fitness classes are filled with yoga, boot camp, Reebok core training and a master's swim program.

Insider Tips
When to GoClass schedules lean toward the after-work crowd--most weekdays offer a lone Spinning or step class before 9am.
ParkingTwo structures offer free parking with validation, but opt for the one across the street, because the adjacent lot has limited spots for gym members.

I like the Spectrum Club and have gone for a number of years but I have had repeated issues with theft at the Howard Hughes location. If you drop or lose something, forget it. And I even had my credit card number stolen there and had to cancel my card.

Okay, were all these glowing reviews written by staff/owners? Nothing can be as good as some of these reviews. Let me give it to you straight. The facilities are great. The instructors are top-notch. BUT the gym is Very pricey and once you pay up, you can forget about getting any of your requests fulfilled. You can expect to be put-off. Some of the popular classes like spinning and yoga are getting too crowded and suggestions to add additional classes are blown off.
Pros: free parking, good equipment and instructors
Cons: uncaring management, crowded classes
