I love this club! I first came here over a decade ago, when visiting my dad who lives nearby. At…read morethe time, I was able to use this club on a reciprocal agreement with my health club at the time. Now they have a temporary use offer, so you can pay a reasonable rate - slightly more than a membership, of course - for a day, a week or a month at a time if you are just visiting.
Most of all, I love that the two pools are outdoors (yay Ojai weather!) and I especially love that the dedicated lap pool is ozonated instead of chlorinated (the hot tubs, baby pool and recreational pool are chlorinated). They provide towels, lockers, and shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the showers. The change rooms have a sauna, and a water extractor for wet swimsuits (this is actually a deal breaker for me when it comes to swimming pools - I hate having to figure out what to do with a dripping-wet swimsuit in the car on the way home!). There is a very nice adults-only lounge area where you can relax and read or catch up on emails. Even as a visitor, I attended one member event last fall, the Halloween party, and they had good live music and yummy food, and super-friendly members who were happy to chat with someone from out of town.
The staff are all so friendly all the time, and very helpful. The club is clean, fresh and feels welcoming. There is lots of parking available for both the club and the Weil tennis academy which is located next door. The gym area is certianly not the biggest, but unless I accidentally hit the after-work evening rush, I've never had to wait long for machines, and it's always clean. They also have rooms for workout classes (I've never tried), and of course they are also a tennis club with amazing facilities - but I haven't played tennis since I was on my middle school's tennis team, so I'll leave it to tennis types to review those more particularly.
