The La Jolla YMCA
The La Jolla Y is one of the best deals in town. Locals pay as little as $30 a month to use the heated outdoor pool and a very well-equipped gym. We can also take any number of classes from an extensive weekly menu that includes Pilates, aqua jogging, studio cycling, line dancing, stretch & strength, cardio kick boxing, and yoga (basic, hatha, hatha flow, vinyasa flow, power, and restorative). Surf lessons are offered for adults and teens during the summer.
And here's the surprising part: visitors can use all of the Y's facilities for only $10 a day. I know that many La Jolla hotels and resorts have their own fitness centers, but none compare with the options at the Y. This is the perfect set-up for out-of-towners who want a great workout in a top-notch place. It's also a good option for folks who don't like sweating alone. For instance, "Walk Fit" draws a congenial group of local women who take a serious stride around the neighborhood three mornings a week.
Don't have a hard body? No worries. Our Y caters to little kids and great-grandparents and every age in between. Seriously - an 85-year-old woman is a regular in my favorite Pilates class.
Located off La Jolla Scenic Drive North (just south of La Jolla Village Drive and UCSD), the Y also offers tennis courts, racquetball courts, saunas, a whirlpool spa, and special classes and camps for kids. Two hours of childcare are complimentary while parents are working out.
The Y (8355 Cliffridge Ave., La Jolla; tel. 858-453-3483) is open Monday to Thursday from 5am to 10pm; Friday from 5am to 9pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 7am to 6pm. Check out the website at http://www.lajolla.ymca.org/.
See you there.
