But they have great spin instructor who teaches on Tues AM class. Forgot her name but she kicked my ass! She teaches like she's outdoor cycling and possibly mountain biking. With the high altitude and just her style, and being 1hr n 15 mins of great cardio session. They have various rooms that are divided into cardio rooms and weight rooms. Also has upstairs with various classes - dance for kids, martial arts and Pilates room. They also have a spa that you can take some R&R. Looks a bit pricy for mountain area.., did not try it out. They have women's and men's jacuzzi in the locker room or a co-ed bigger Jacuzzi, and a pool. All in all, it's pretty good spot if you are in the mountains and need some workout time. Tip: they have trampolines for kids which you can drop off your child for 2hrs. I will have to say, it does get a bit wild in there with older kids. They do have an attendee there but it's just 1 or 2 adult young guys that are just physically there and not paying any attention what's so ever. The kids were getting very rowdy and various kids were getting hurt and they were just focus on their cell phones, they could care less. My kid got hurt but you sign a waiver which gets the club out of any liabilities.... Take and leave your kids at your own risk.

Update for 2024: there is no festival and there are no refunds. The "organizers" bailed with our…read moremoney. Review for 2024: another year, another postponement! With 1 week notice, they cancel the festival for June 2024 and announce they are moving it to September. But when in September!? No word. Perhaps they will let us know 1 week before! Other weird stuff: The email announcing the postponement did not come from the MYF email account- it came from a Gmail account thatapparently is associated with a w33d greenhouse in Desert Hot Springs. What?? It also didn't mention the festival by name or provide any explanation. The email also contained multiple typos. Clearly they need new management to revive this festival with so much potential!

Also, check out this article...I believe this is the same Kevin Green who is the cofounder of the festival. This is so disappointing and scary that we are not getting a refund.

She shared her vast knowledge about the park's history, knew all the best popular spots to take us, (plus showed us a few special gems only the locals know ), and even picked us up lunch on the way to enjoy at the foot of El Capitan. The best part...all our pics and videos look like we're the only people there!! (Definitely gonna hang a few at home!) We can't wait to come back again and experience a longer hike now that we know who to trust. Highly recommend them!

Five hours on the road from LA, and here we are. Drove with a friend in her car--she's the one who…read moreinspired me to take on this journey. Room, service, food, meditation hall everything is so beautiful! Extremely nice stuff! Loved the silence, felt like our souls danced instead of the tongues dancing not always kind and good things to one another. For someone as active as me, it's a challenge to sit still while my brain keeps itching to dive into problem-solving and goal-setting. But I adapted. During my walk, I saw a deer! It was such a magical moment--we walked together for a bit, with him leading the way and me following. Thankfully, he didn't attack me (I was close), but I think he felt good energy from me. On another note, I'm fully embracing the vegan diet here, and my body is loving it. I wasn't eating meat before except for chicken, but now I don't even feel the need to buy chicken anymore. Grateful for the experience from the bottom of my heart
