You need to be an Elk member to enjoy the amenities of the lodge - food, drinks, special events,…read morefundraisers, and RV parking. But, you can rent out various rooms in the lodge - huge banquet room (200+), another smaller room (70 people), and the outdoor covered tent area. The chef provides very tasty food for events. The Event/Banquet Manager works efficiently and is very helpful with clients wanting to the book the space. We used the banquet room for a 50th Class Reunion. There were 160 attendees. We used the stage for our DJ, and although most of the space was for tables and chairs, we still had a small area for dancing. And the auxiliary space was used for our photo booth. There is bar in the banquet room and the bartenders were great with keeping the drinks flowing for the attendees. Attached is a photo of the stage before we decorated and the other photo is an evening out in the tent - strings of lights help create the perfect ambiance for dinner with a band.

Some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Great lodge. We will be back. Thank you Whittier Elks.read more

I had the cobb salad and shared a club sandwich with my bf. I had a few bites of the ginormous buttermilk pancakes as well. The salad was fresh and had the perfect balance of meat/veggies and dressing. The club sandwich too had a good ratio of bread/meat/veggies. I enjoyed every bite. The portions were generous but we were able to finish it all. I look forward to playing there again if it means eating there too. :)

Before Driven Strength Club, I was that person--always trying to get into fitness and quitting a…read moremillion times over. I felt extremely lost at big-box gyms and had no idea where to begin. Then I found DSC--and everything changed. From my very first week with Coach James, I knew that this time around would be different. He didn't just train me--he believed in me. He gave me a roadmap, taught me how to train with purpose, and helped me find the confidence I never knew I had. I finally had a game plan! James helped build structure in my workouts and equipped me with the knowledge I needed to feel empowered whenever I stepped in the gym. I highly recommend trying out the small group sessions. You're surrounded by people who cheer you on, celebrate your wins, and grow alongside you. Every session is a mix of challenges, encouragement, and connection--and watching everyone's progress (including mine!) has been incredibly motivating *fist bump* You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish when you have the tools, proper guidance & a fantastic support system. Thank you Coach James & Van for creating a safe place for me to reach my goals! Whether you're a gym newbie or looking to level up your fitness, DSC is the place where you'll find your strength, your community, and your spark. I promise you won't regret it! Bonus: the gym is gorgeous. No waiting for a squat rack, no crowds, no pressure. Just clean open spaces, shiny new equipment, and the freedom to take your time. You'll never feel rushed here at DSC and that alone is worth the investment!

James and Van do an incredible job of cultivating community. From day one, I felt welcomed and…read moresupported. They truly care about you as a person, not just your fitness goals. When a family member of mine passed away, they even sent me flowers. That meant so much to me and speaks volumes about the kind of people they are. James is incredibly knowledgeable and intentional with his coaching. He gives specific, practical cues in a way that's easy to understand. For example, he shared a bench press cue that completely changed the way I approach the lift and helped me stop failing at the bottom position. That level of detail makes such a difference. I participate in the small group classes at Driven, and they are absolutely worth it. The groups are intentionally small, and the programming is so individualized that it feels like personal training. James creates tailored plans for each person, complete with prescribed weights and number of reps. As someone who is not an athlete and definitely not a morning person , I can honestly say I look forward to my workouts now. I feel empowered every time I leave. I never realized how much I was capable of lifting before coming here... James has pushed me in the best way and helped me challenge myself safely and confidently.

I found them by accident while looking up trails to hike on when I moved to the area and have been going on hikes with them ever since. Joel, the organizer, loves to talk about the areas the hikes are in and gives extensive historical information and has an encyclopedic-like knowledge of the plant and animal life. Talk about a modern day John Muir! They have hikes weekly all over the Orange County mountains and other local places, you can find them on Facebook or Meetup to get in on hikes and the best part is they do hikes from easy to difficult so whatever level you are on there are hikes for you. There are also hikes to study birds, edible plants, owling, and much more.

A DJ, a fully stocked bar and seating to accommodate large groups. The music played crossed all genre but on this night 80's music rained supreme. The crowd was lively, energetic and enthusiastic, which, made for an enjoyable atmosphere. Bottle service was entertaining and visually captivating as it garnered the attention of partygoers whenever they saw the bright lights and servers carrying champagne and various other types of liquors. Although, the crowd was large and remained that way up until closing you were able to maneuver around without too much difficulty. I was definitely impressed with the lounge's design and overall layout. Celebrating a relative's 40 Birthday made the night much more special and the bottle service took it to another level.
