PacWest is for you if you have serious athletic goals but still have to hold down a job! I started with the running program and was eventually lured into the triathlon program. I have also participated in many Boot Camp sessions. I can definitely say that I am in the best shape of my life and I attribute much if not most of that to the framework that PacWest provides for athletes to grow. Members are very supportive of each other and there is great camaraderie. There is a good mix of beginner to very experienced athletes, which is inspiring to those just starting out. Yet, there are enough experienced members to provide training support to those with advanced goals. If you aren't interested in entering races, it's a great way to just stay in shape. You may be tempted to push yourself more than you thought you could, though!
Pros: coaching, camaraderie, motivational value
