Tour de CalFit - Laguna


Stop number 2 on our Tour de Calfit, Laguna! The gym is nestled in back of business strip just off Laguna Blvd., about a mile past the Apple Facility! Unfortunately, many spaces are vacant around the gym, there's a tanning shop and a pretty cool indoor surf & trampoline place! Kids got a "hoot" out of checking that out, plus they sell beer there too, hey now!

As you can see the backdrop isn't all that appealing, the good thing is that it's to our back if you set yourself up on the wall...but now you're looking at the building! No appeal whatsoever!
Drew chilling with an apple! Don't think that these tour stops are all easy! I have to pull together a lunch and snack! Thankfully Brady noted that today was a great day with the snacks! Score for the food department!
The front of the gym! Not too exciting, 11:30 arrival today!
This was kinda cool looking from the inside!
The pools! There were two pools and an outdoor hot tub, too hot today for that idea! The kids liked the choice of pools! For a parent it's a great variety, a beach style pool that was 4 feet at its deepest end! The other pool was a lap/play pool combo! If you're a lap person, you only have three lanes! Slow, medium and fast! Each lane has a designated time for what the definitions of slow(60 seconds per lap), Medium(45secs) & fast(30 secs)! Know your pace folks! The other side was used for lessons and general play with nice and large steps for the gradual entrance! Huge bonus points for the Mom openly reading one of the "50 Shades of Grey" book while sitting in the beach style pool while her daughter played in the pool! AWWWWESOME!
There was a small water play area set as well! Rather simple and not used much! But its a great option for the small and not so good swimmers! The crowds consisted mainly of parents with kids! Swim lessons were happening, so I think it played a role in more kids being at the pool! I really like the pool choices, but wish that CalFit had planted some trees to try to reduce the industrial feel and vibe of the pool area!
