Can't believe I spent so much time visiting Club Pilates in the hopes of being in a class anywhere close to the private training I'm used to. If I wasn't already addicted to Pilates, Encore is an awesome studio that challenges me, keeps me coming back and actually gets me excited to work out.

This year, I walked the entire Living Desert Zoo, twice. That may not sound like a big deal --…read moreunless you knew me back when I was using a cane or walker due to chronic inflammation, years of being on a medicine that caused joint and muscle deterioration, and multiple joint replacements. The version of me that lives in this strong, mobile, joyful body didn't exist a year ago. Last week, friends invited me to hike the entire Camino de Santiago. After taking a deep breath with the realization that I now could walk over 100 miles with friends, the first thing I asked was, "Well, how much Pilates would I have to miss?" Because I'm not sure I can go more than two weeks without my teacher Sean Bergara at Ecore. Sean is one of the best teachers I've ever experienced -- of anything -- and as a casting director and coach, I'm not easy to impress. His passion is palpable. He's written multiple books. He's dealt with his own injuries, so he brings empathy as well as expertise. And every class is different, which means your brain stays just as active as your body. You're never on autopilot. Sean's a master at cues. He'll tell you exactly where you should be feeling the work, so you can learn how to move more effectively and functionally throughout the world, not just sweat through a workout. He offers precise modifications (and I take full advantage -- I still need them all the time!). And because the classes are small -- just 9 reformers -- it feels personal, focused, and safe. My strength, mobility, balance, and confidence have grown exponentially since starting at Ecore in late August of 2024. This isn't just a workout. It's a return to my body -- and to myself. I am grateful for Sean, and would give Ecore ten stars if I could.

I was in Palm Springs recently, and visited Steel Gym to get a workout in. Overall, I had a decent…read moreexperience. The folks who work at the counter were very nice. One can get either a daily pass or a weekly pass, perfect for the many tourists that travel through Palm Springs. The clientele appears to be almost entirely gay men -- I might have seen two women in the entire facility. I felt comfortable wearing very little while working out -- short shorts and a tight tank top, and I fit right in. The equipment and the space itself are fine, a bit rough around the edges and it could be cleaner. And the men's locker room was quite crowded and smelled a bit musty -- the steam room is essentially an orgy room. There are more polished gyms in the area, but if you are visiting and want to get a workout in, as well as have some additional fun, this is the place to go.

I love this place! Awesome gym for the people who stay at the Spa Resort Casino. I heard…read moreneighboring hotels also have access to the gym as well, so make sure to check with the hotels before you book and hopefully you get to enjoy this facility. There are three separate rooms with equipment for strength training, cardiovascular exercise, circuit training and a room for Zumba ($10 if your a hotel guest) and Spin classes (not sure the price). The cardio room has treadmills, elliptical machines & stationary bikes with a view of the outside pools. The machines are clean, new and very well maintained. There is a section next to it with free weights, two olympic benches, a smith machine and a curling bench. In the room across the way they have all the circuit training equipment which has about 15 stations for every part of your body including a stretch machine that I have never seen before lol. The staff is awesome and they greet you with a smile and help you with anything you need. They provide towels and direct you to your desired location after signing in. This is definitely a top notch gym (with flat screen TV's EVERYWHERE) that deserves a top notch rating. It's one of the best hotel gyms I've been too! OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

Before heading over, I called ahead to ask about day passes. A day pass runs $20 for 24-hour access, and they also offer a week pass for $35, which seemed like the obvious choice since I was planning to work out multiple days. However, when I arrived to check in, I was told they weren't honoring the week pass during festival season because apparently it gets busy and they'd rather maximize revenue with individual day passes. A little frustrating, especially since it wasn't mentioned when I called. The gym itself is clean, well-maintained, and honestly wasn't as packed as I expected given the season. My main gripe is the equipment variety. It felt like there was only one of most machines, which can make things tricky if someone's already on what you need. The chest fly machine was the exception with three available, so clearly it can be done! Minor complaints aside, it's a solid gym and I'd definitely come back on my next visit, maybe just outside of festival season.

I then spoke with a member who agreed to bring me in and returned to complete check-in. At that point, I was told I could not enter due to the nature of my relationship with the member, which directly contradicted the earlier instruction I was given at the front desk. When I asked for clarification on the correct guest access policy, the interaction escalated. The staff member (Anton) raised his voice in front of other members, refused to allow me to speak with anyone else, stated I could not enter, and said that police would be called. Police were called and arrived on site. During the interaction, the staff member continually made unprofessional comments such as "go do pushups in the parking lot," which was unnecessary given the situation. Overall, the experience involved inconsistent instructions, unclear enforcement of guest policy, and an unnecessary escalation of what should have been a straightforward guest check-in. I felt personally discriminated against and would not recommend this gym to anyone.
