I had been in OC for over 8 years. I was a member of The Sports Club/LA at Irvine.
The Sports Club/LA at Irvine is one of the greatest gyms all over USA. Most of instructors there are famous athletes as presenting their fields in a lot of conventions around the world. Facilities are so nice and good teachers for Step, Aerobics or Pilates Yoga... and I recommend to take personal training system to make healthier and stronger. I loved there so much. I miss there a lot. Many friends there are waiting for me still now. I really like LA fitness style. http://www.thesportsclubla.com/Clubs/template.asp?Club=Irvine The scale is of course bigger than Japanese gym. But moreover the atomopsphere is different. I could study about USA !!
