Best Gyms with Outdoor Pools near Irvine, California

I recently got a facial at the spa and I just have to share how incredible my experience was with Lilia. She is absolutely AMAZING! Lilia took the time to sit down with me and walk me through ways to enhance my skincare routine, explaining each product she used with such care and knowledge. She made sure I felt comfortable the entire time, and I could genuinely feel her passion for what she does. Her hands are truly magical! Thank you Lilia!!! :)

Cozy building gym. Clean, relatively well maintained though there isn’t much square footage. At least one of most gym equipment and validated parking. Usually don’t have a hard time getting the equipment I need even during peak hours. This is a gym for the business developer trying to network. Members are an overflow from the white bro culture from Newport.

The opening time is wrong on google maps, no one update it and it is misleading for a long time…actually it only opens m-t till 9pm, and weekend 5pm. I expect equinox to have better time, especially weekends. We are working people, we wish to have more flexibility working out during weekends. Also, some classes only offer at noon time, like cardio dance, those are twice a week, at least arrange one classes in the afternoon, so it can fit working members schedule…

Lack of varieties classes at good times- in early morning or evenings cardio dance, Pilates, barre, any hot yoga, hit classes weekdays. They charge too much for personal training and reformer Pilates. Other studios like club studio has reformer classes that comes with the regular membership. Classes are just cancelled without notice if only few people signed up. Which is not cool if I come from 10 miles away to attend these classes. Even 1-2 person signed up they should hold classes. Weekend classes get pretty crowded since mostly in mornings, they should add more classes in the afternoons and evenings also. They also should have more classes at 7 or 8 pm and open later hours like closing at 9 or 10. The equipments used in classes are not enough or just gross and old. They don’t clean those weights, sticks, belts, blocks, rings, balloons, etc …equipments. They said when I enrolled last summer that they are going to upgrade the locker rooms to digital locks around end of the year 2023. Now we still have to bring our own locks. I feel I’m paying too much monthly now it’s not worth it, and just switch to regular gym like 24 hrs paying $50 a month and I can even bring guests for classes all the time more than 3-5 times a year. Pros- they do keep locker rooms pretty clean, they staff are friendly and the coaches and class teachers are very friendly and good. Classes are good and fun.

My experience with this gym started off on a fantastic note. The equipment is spotless and everybody seems to have just a generally good vibe. The trainers are willing to put in as much effort as you are, and that is a really good driving force at least for someone like me. However, the issues started once I pre-purchased a 12 pack of training session with them. I had of course, given them my credit card to pay for the monthly fees so once I had my last session, I obviously stopped going to my trainer, who I had a very good back-and-forth with. I stopped going to my trainer and we had a understanding that our training sessions had stopped since it was all pre-purchased and that was on the dotted line and everything. A whole month passes and low and behold, they had been charging me each week for training sessions that I never agreed to pay for. What’s worse is that my trainer and I had had many conversations over that month and once I went to him directly to question these charges, all he had to say was talk to the billing department. I felt an immediate disconnect from the staff and immediately started feeling like a number. I discussed this with the general manager of my location as well as a couple people at their headquarters and you would not believe the amount of effort and time it took just to get my membership canceled. The “canceling a gym membership “is a nightmare, is absolutely true especially with this Jim. Next part is that it frankly got sad. A whole six months after this debacle I received a collection bill for an additional $500 from them saying that since I had turned off my credit card after having them cancel my membership, that they had continued to charge me and they put it on my credit. On my credit! After having discussed multiple times with multiple different people about getting this membership canceled. So it just goes to show that even though the face of a company is welcoming sadly there is always something in the back end that comes to bite you. I thought I read through all the paperwork they gave me pretty darn well and am convinced that they are charging me and other people in a… I won’t say illegal way, but frankly it kind of feels like that. so all in all I was only a member of this gym for about eight months and canceling the membership ended up costing me three times the amount. All in all… As long as you have the money to never cancel your membership then you are good, otherwise I would start with a 24 hour fitness.

This gym is falling apart… the 18-25 yr+ girls who work the Mon-Thursday morning shifts are superficial, lack customer service and too busy focusing on their on conversations. I spoke to 4 trainers and they all voiced out how frustrated they were with these front desk girls and their egos. You’re a minimum wage employee, get your shit together. We just want to go the gym, do our work out and leave… The men’s locker after 5pm is a joke too. We had an individual today at 7:30pm on his phone talking confidently w. His Friend “Charlie”…. Isn’t there a no phone policy in the sauna especially everyone being naked? Jesus Christ people have some common sense. It’s time to join LIFETIME FITNESS… it’s better, newer, family oriented and people actually have manners… please equinox don’t bother responding to this… a bunch of us are already leaving your gym and we’re tired of your lack luster efforts. You raise your gym prices ever 6-12 months and proclaim you’re fixing them up. Stop lying….

The club itself is good but doesn’t worse the price they charge you for the membership. There are better alternatives for cheaper price. One of the positive benefits is the valet service. Equipment condition is 6 out of 10. Cleanliness is 7 out of 10. You can find basketball courts there and yoga studio as well. General condition is good.

No gym is perfect, but this one continues to improve with the management of Rebekah. I have been a member for over a year. At times, conditions were not at the best but I’ve noticed the changes that are being implemented to make this place better. Amenities are superior compared to the other luxury gyms in the area. This gym is the best and has everything you need!

Your club for gym bros in Gold Gym’s singlets, bros whose pockets are too deep for girls to see them for themselves, and boys that build and abandon towel nests in the sauna/steam rooms. The club itself has most of the equipment though it lacks any recent equipment technologies. Usually not crowded but you will normally come across people recording themselves on the floor along with you. Locker room is constantly out of clean towels (probably because of those building nests) and eucalyptus sprays always empty. Steam room is full of trip hazards waiting for a lawsuit. The facilities themselves are not the worst, but the patrons are.

I am writing to express my severe disappointment and frustration with the recent experiences I have had at the Equinox Club Orange County. As a long-standing member since 2021, it is with great regret that I must consider the termination of my membership due to the consistently unsatisfactory service I have encountered. My most recent visit was marred by a series of unacceptable occurrences that have left me deeply dissatisfied. In particular, I encountered significant difficulty when attempting to open my locker. The staff member who was assisting me displayed impatience and aggression when I sought assistance, which was entirely unwarranted given the situation. As a paying member, I did not expect to endure such treatment, especially considering the premium fees of $355 per month. Furthermore, upon finally gaining access to my locker, I discovered that my laundry bag was missing. Despite waiting for over 30 minutes and seeking assistance from the staff, my clothing remained unaccounted for. This is not the first instance of such negligence, as similar incidents have occurred multiple times in the past. The disrespectful attitude and lack of urgency displayed by the staff during this distressing situation have caused me to lose faith in the quality of service provided by the Equinox Club. It is with great disappointment that I have reached the conclusion that I can no longer tolerate such substandard experiences. The recurring issues and the disrespectful behavior of the staff have eroded my confidence in the club.
