Although The Sporting Club in La Jolla is most well-known for its fitness facilities, group exercise classes, and skilled personal trainers, The Spa at The Sporting Club extends beyond the title of amenity and is an attraction all its own.

Guests are warmly welcomes and invited to take a moment before the treatment of choice and unwind in the dry sauna or release toxins in the eucalyptus-infused steam room. From waxing and body wraps to renewal facials and island infused scrubs and massages, The Spa is perfect for a quick pick-me-up and an all-day spa indulgence.

I recommend booking a couple treatments. Try the Island Castaway, a papaya pineapple scrub and coconut milk lotion rub down, and a Pacific Scalp Escape, a scalp massage and acupressure point treatment using oils indigenous of the islands. This spa lineup will leave you smelling, and feeling, like a walking piña colada.

As a spa guest, you are a "Member for the Day" at The Sporting Club. After your spa rejuvenation, spend the day in the three-story gym using state-of-the-art workout equipment and garner access to group exercise classes ranging from Ashtanga Yoga and Tai Chi to Spinning. As The Sporting Club shares ground with the Hyatt Regency La Jolla, guests also have access to the hotel’s outdoor pool and cabanas and tennis courts.

The Sporting Club also boasts a café with healthy eats made with all-organic, pesticide-free locally-frown fruits and vegetables and free-range meat and poultry. Beakfast, protein and fat burning smoothies, sandwiches, wraps and salads are available.
