This place really intimidated me at first.... when you walk up to the place its absolutely HUGE!! I wasn't sure if I was going into a gym or a hotel. The place is gorgeous.. marble... vaulted ceilings... great veiws of OC... To be honest it looked a bit pretentious.. I thought typical OC...but to my surprise it wasn't like my last experience at South Coast.. people actually smiled that worked there!! Needless to say its a little different than the hole in the wall 24 hr. fit. I'd been frequenting... Anyways my friend took me as a guest... and she made me try a Yoga class, which I hadn't done in years - but I really appreciated this class because the instructor because he wasn't just going through the motions- he wanted to make sure we understood what we were doing to our body and really understand what was supposed to be going on in each pose - n he didn't go crazy with all the spiritual guru stuff some yogis do.. Anyhow I've been back 2 times since as her guest to brave more classes. I loved their step class- and abs class! they kicked my butt! I am definitely going back.
Pros: enormous, tons of group exercise classes, great instructors
Cons: price $$$
