Meridian Sports Club
An upscale gym on Museum Row, hidden in Spelling's Entertainment Capital, Meridian might seem intimidating, but fortunately, it isn't. We loved the club from the first moment we walked in until the moment we left because of its range of appeal to the de-conditioned and the very conditioned. "You won't find many muscle-heads here," general manager Ian Cooper tells us, who also teaches Groove Cycle Ride, a 45-minute Cycle Reebok class known for its unusual music mix of anything from house to Aretha Franklin. Meridian is focused on personal attention to each of its members, offering towel service and a complimentary session with a personal trainer every three months.
