Meridian Sports Club, Fullerton

The staff at Meridian Sports Club motivates guests to stay in shape with fitness methods that not only shrink waistlines, but also combat the boredom of stale exercise routines. Within the 10,000-square-foot luxury gym, exercisers build muscles and camaraderie in daily yoga, Pilates, spin, and Zumba group classes, or strive toward their fitness goals alone in the club's private Pilates Reformer studio. The facility also houses a stretching room with stability balls and resistance bands, and a weight room furnished with Hammer Strength, Precor, and Free Motion strength-training machines available in multiples to cut down on waiting time. Meridian's certified personal trainers are also always on hand to help anyone looking for one-one-one fitness coaching.

When it's time to cool down, members can take a dip in the spacious indoor pool, which hosts swim lessons for kids and adults, master swim classes, and aqua aerobics. The fitness center takes care of towel service in its posh executive locker rooms, and its Kids Club area provides children a place to play and bench-press Lincoln Logs while their parents sweat it out.
