Camarillo, CA Health and Fitness

With nine experienced coaches and trainers, West Coast Strength’s staff ensures that clients of any age and physical ability can take advantage of the fat-burning, endurance-building training programs. In the 3,600-square-foot facility, coaches foster an intimate and motivating environment where they guide pupils in CrossFit and HyperFit classes. With an emphasis on proper technique, both classes focus on functional-movement exercises, rather than sport-specific training strategies. Varying daily, workouts might include powerlifting, body-weight exercises, or fast-paced interval sessions, all of which tone muscles and jump-start metabolisms. In addition to group classes, the coaching staff offers personal-training services.

The instructors at Airealistic Circus & Flying know a thing or two about gravity, having defied it on behalf of Cirque de Soleil, De La Guarda, and Franco Dragone productions. For example, program director Carmen Curtis uses a foundation in gymnastics to elevate her cirque routines, which she showcases as a member of Airealistic Theater Company. These experiences grant her the expertise to lead her aerial classes, which are taught alongside gymanstics and yoga classes. Whether teaching family circus or acroyoga classes, all staff members prioritize safety as they introduce kids and adults to aerial apparatuses.

In addition to gymnastics, booty bar, and Vinyasa yoga sessions, the trainers teach high-flying techniques on trampolines, trapezes, aerial silks, harnesses, and hoops, believing that one's choice of equipment reflects his or her own unique character. Their aerial and acro-yoga variations also encourage students to test their notions about human flight in a noncompetitive setting. Each class incorporates a fitness component into its exhilarating routine, and the schedule includes classes at all times of day.

Edge Fitness Club's members make their way into the gym—nestled beside the Channel Islands Harbor—followed by the sounds of lapping waves and squawks of seagulls. The peaceful ocean vibe is reflected throughout the club, as walls of picture windows open up views of distant sailboats and a horizon that rolls over the ridges of the Santa Monica Mountains. Enthusiastic trainers make their way through the pristine facility, demonstrating proper form to clients heaving free weights or toning up on weight machines. The cardio theater is stocked with treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, and rowing machines illuminated by multiple flat-screen TVs and stunning sea-monster lookout points. Beyond the main workout floor, the group studios host sessions of spin, Pilates, yoga, tai chi, boot camp, and TRX classes. The gatherings periodically make their way outdoors in the form of members-only activities including kayaking classes, beach runs, and group hikes on the Channel Islands.

Located inside Velocity Sports Performance Center, B Bronze Tanning's UV beds and spray-tan booths evenly gild the skin. The sunless Mystic tanning system's spray-on solution produces a natural-looking tan that lasts about a week and works for any skin tone. Bed or standup booths transmit ultraviolet light, warming and browning the skin for 8–20 minutes. B Bronze Tanning supplies protective eyewear for clients who opt for UV tanning, though clients must bring their own silk parasols.

The dental trio at Kane & Kerper Family & Cosmetic Dentistry maintains and beautifies smiles in an office armed with up-to-date dental technology. Digital x-rays reduce up to 90% of the radiation of traditional x-rays, and unlike older fillings, tooth-colored fillings repair cavities without the metal amalgams made from melted Terminators. Patients in need of restorative services can gussy up their grins with veneers and porcelain crowns.

Sky High Sports emancipates kids and adults from the laws of gravity with each jump, twist, or backflip their trampolines aid. The yellow-and-black play space features a spring-loaded frame that provides more give to jumpers, with all frames and springs covered by 2-inch-thick safety pads. To take full advantage of its unique space, Sky High hosts springy and elevated games of dodgeball as well as Airobics, a low-impact, fat-burning workout class that helps improve balance and coordination. Pintsize gymnasts can take refuge in a specially designed kid zone and romp around in the foam pit while they brainstorm nicknames for their pro-wrestling career. The expansive 45,000-square-foot center also offers family-fueled games of laser tag and private rooms for birthday parties.
