Ah the holidays! It’s that special time of year for friends, family and lots of fattening food. Which can sometimes make your waistline grow along with the holiday spirit. What better time to get a jump on those pesky pounds, and head them off at the pass, than at the new Five Star Gym & Fitness in Desert Hot Springs.
Five Star Gym & Fitness opened their Desert Hot Springs doors this past October to rave reviews. The new fitness center is their second in the desert area with the first being in Yucca Valley, which opened over 6 years ago and has 5,000 members plus.
Both fitness centers are headed up by general manager Karrie O’Brien. O’Brien came to the desert area back in 2002 from Orange County, where she worked in the fitness industry for 25 years as a personal trainer and general manager for high profile gyms. O’Brien is excited about the new Desert Hot Springs location of Five Star Gym & Fitness, “It is really beautiful,” said O’Brien.
The sparkling new fitness center has two stories and 20,000 square ft. of everything to help get their members in shape. The fitness center is full service, with even a juice bar offering protein shakes, 100% vegetable and juice blends, coffee drinks and cleanses too.
Five Star Gym & Fitness offers an array of classes, including Spin, Yoga, Pilates, Zumba and Piyo. The main area is loaded with 200 high tech exercise machines, and large flat screen televisions to entertain you while you melt off the pounds.
The gym also offers state of the art tanning with the futuristic looking Ergoline Tanning Beds. If you want to soothe those worked out muscles, they also offer massage services as well, and have pore purifying steam rooms inside the ample locker rooms.
And for all of you parents out there, Five Star Gym & Fitness takes care of your babysitting needs with their professionally staffed daycare facility.
Although they opened their doors in October, O’Brien explains that they will be having a grand opening in January to kick off the New Year.
They are offering a membership special that is good until December 31, 2014. The membership special is $34 a month with just a $69 enrollment fee. Five Star Gym & Fitness is located on Mission Lakes Blvd in a newly developed shopping center.
There’s no time like the now time to start getting in shape, and tame those pounds before they get out of hand.
