What to do and see in Santa Cruz, California (CA): The Best Spas & Wellness

September 12, 2021 Marlin Saiz

The quintessential California beach town of Santa Cruz! It was here that surfing was first brought to the mainland by Hawaiian royalty. Home to the legendary Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, a pedestrian-friendly, tree-lined downtown area, and the historic Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf, which stretches out a half-mile into the waters of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Other highlights include UC Santa Cruz, the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum, and nearby redwood forests.

Santa Cruz CORE Fitness + Rehab

Reviewed By Jennifer100SantaCruz - Santa Cruz, United States

I have been enjoying CORE’s Semi-Private Training sessions three days a week for about 18 months. I feel positive about everyone I interact with from the office staff to the trainers and the fellow gym-goers. The staff is really friendly and competent, the trainers know what they’re doing, are upbeat and keep it interesting for us, and I enjoy the camaraderie of the small group that shows up to get fit/stay healthy every morning. And maybe best of all, I can see and feel the results!! CORE offers a variety of services (personal training, massage, chiropractic and more) tho my experience is limited to the Semi-Private Training sessions which typically have 3-5 participants. The gym is fairly small and doesn’t have showers, and I believe members can only use the equipment during a scheduled class/session, but they’re good at what they do.
