My girlfriend and I pulled into the drive-thru at Tropical Smoothie Cafe (Helmsdale Place)…read moreexpecting the kind of simple transaction that keeps civilization humming along: we say what we want, someone hears it, and a smoothie appears on the other side of the window. Instead, we began what could best be described as a communication workshop. We repeated our order once. Then again. Then the way you repeat things when you start wondering if the speaker is connected to the same reality you are. Eventually the reassuring phrase came through the intercom: *"Okay, got it."* In my experience, that sentence at a drive-thru often translates to: *"Brace yourself."* By the time we reached the window, the order had somehow **duplicated itself**, and we were being charged twice. After untangling that small mystery, we were handed a single smoothie that was *mostly* what we had asked for... mostly, the way a mispronounced word is mostly understandable if you hear it enough times. At first the drink tasted fine. Then a strange aftertaste arrived. Not from the fruit, but from the experience itself. It made me wonder if a simple pre-shift routine might help: a quick ear-cleaning, a few pages of Hooked on Phonics, maybe some vocal warm-ups so words like "strawberry banana" don't have to travel through the drive-thru like a rumor. Because the equipment worked beautifully. The blender blended. The cup held liquid. The straw functioned as designed. The only thing that didn't quite come together was the one ingredient the whole process depends on. **Listening.** We drove away with a smoothie, and a side of epic and fail..

There are some good things a bout this and some bad. Let me start off by saying the pistachio shake…read moreis tasty, if you want, like or need protein shakes. The bad: * the shake come from a powdered shake mix. That wasn't really clear from the website or reviews. However, if you are a protein shake person, this isn't really an issue. * the macros are not listed. This is not good. I need to know specifically how many net carbs are in this. (At the very least the base shake macros should be put up on the site. We can look up 1/4 c. Strawberries. ) People who do Keto or low carb lifestyles NEED this information. This shake has roughly 13 carbs. Which can be quite a bit if this is a snack. * size options seem to be 24oz! Whoa! That is huge!! I would struggle with 12 oz shake. There are kid sizes, but no clue on the size *sticker shock. This shake was 8 and some change! I didn't see a price listed. I also didn't see one for the kids shakes. The good: * the shake was tasty. * there are a huge list of flavors combinations-brownie batter, birthday cake, choco-banana, strawberry pineapple... the list goes on. * this is better for you and your kids than fast food restaurants Overall, I would like to see the changes of the macros/nutritional information posted. I would also like to see smaller sizes. I know a number of people that had bariatric Surgery and would love this, but would not be able to drink 24oz, but could benefit from tasty protein shakes. With a few small tweaks, this place could be hopping with Keto people, gym nuts, parents who don't want to feed their kid a boat load of sugar and all those people who had gastric surgery. Keep it up.

Esporta is a branch of the commercial gym giant LA Fitness…read more The environment at Esporta is very different than their sister brand. The look of the Esporta gym itself gives a dark industrial feel versus the super lit gym. The equipment is older and definitely dated. But they are functional enough to get the job done. Esporta makes the attempt to be a mix of hardcore gym, commercial gym, and a crossfit gym and while they do a decent job to look the part between being owned by LA Fitness, the interior has a dark feel, and then the equipment looks dated and rickety but the fact that you can get a great workout in is what matters. I do recommend it since health is the most important thing so go and get a membership there. This branch also has a nutrition/supplement store attached.
