Spectrum Health Clubs

06/07/2007 Posted by technochill

I've been a member for about 3 years. I visit the gym 3 - 5 times a week. I started using this gym mostly because of it's location relative to my home. The gym is very clean and well maintained. Some of the equipment is older but still in good condition. Lately there have been numerous improvements, such as the cycling studio and new flatscreen television monitors, and some newer eliptical equipment. People are very friendly and there are numerous scheduled activites for all skill levels including children. On the down side the price is higher than other gym's in the area. I suppose this is more of a Health Club than a gym as the name suggests. Also, I would prefer 24 hour access. My children enjoy the Kids Care area but I think the club could probably provide more and better activities. Still sometimes I go just because my kids are bugging me to take them. The bottom line is I would recommend this club. I'm willing to pay more because I feel comfortable at this club and as a result I go regularly. Pros: Freindly, clean, well maintained Cons: Price, not 24 hours

OK - I love to workout in the mornings... but usually hate getting ready at gyms due to the typical "gym" lockerroom. Not the case at the Spectrum Club at the Tezel and Guilbeau location! When I first went into the club and the staff person was showing me around, I was definitely impressed by lots of things - the equipment, the friendly people, cleanliness - but as soon as I saw the lockerroom I was ready to sign up! This past week, I've enjoyed my morning workout but really enjoyed getting ready in a lockerroom that's a lot nicer than my home bathroom! What a great way to start the day!

This is a fantastic neighborhood club. I was looking for a club where I could take my kids. I was very pleased to find out that they really have a super Kids area. Not only is everything fresh and new, Including a fantastic outdoor play feature, the staff are fantastic. They made my kids feel at home and they had a great time. The fitness area of the club is top notch. Most of the machines have personal tv's on them. If they don't have a personal tv you can watch 8 huge plasma's while you workout. The staff are friendly and the club is clean. I would hightly recommend this club to everyone.

Pros: Kids Club, staff friendlyness, awesome equipment

This club is awesome. I love all the group exercise classes. The instructors are friendly and when I first joined went out of the way to make me feel at ease in the class. They encourage you to take it at your own pace and stress that this is for you, not a contest to keep up with your neighbor. I have a hectic work schedule and the variety of class times gives me little excuse to skip a workout. The facilty has great hours and again makes it easy to get in my workout. I love all the new tv monitors on each piece of cardio equipment. It makes time go by when your working out watching your favorite show. The staff is friendly and goes out of the way to make you feel welcome when you come into the club. I have several "club" friends and all agree that this is a great place to workout.

Pros: variety of classes

I just recently moved to San Antonio from Houston. After looking around at other clubs, I joined Spectrum a couple of months ago. I am very pleased to say that my my children are extremely happy in the kids area that they have. I am a single Mom, so my 3 kids are everything to me. I love the fact that I can work out in a very clean environment and be confident that my kids are being well taken care of. They drag me to the club on days that I might would just stay home and rest. Its' Great!!! Aside from the kids area at Guilbeau, I love the way that this club is so neighborly. I have only been going there for a couple of months and the staff knows my name. It is nice to have the personal attention.

Pros: Kids Club, Friendly staff

This a great little gym. I just joined in January and I really enjoy my time here. The staff is very friendly, always smiling and they try to get the members involded in the fun. My child is 5 and he just loves the kids area, they have a very nice outdoor component which I can't seem to get him off of! The BEST part though is they will actually pay me to work out! I have already earned a $25 gift card and some free presonal training sessions. Not to mention lost 10 pounds!!! Such a motivating program, healthmiles or something like that. I would highly recommend this club to anyone who really wants to see some results.

Pros: rewards program, friendly staff

Cons: smaller gym
