I hear many people complain about how crowded this place can be, and that the employees are not very friendly. Personally, I have never had any of these problems. The fact that I work out usually around 11 pm to midnight may have some bearing, but there is a reason why it's open 24 hours. If you don't enjoy the crowds during peak hours, you can go any other time you want.
The men's locker room (I haven't been in the women's room, although I'd... uhh, never mind) is in an odd configuration, but very spacious; the weights are set up in a user-friendly, easily accesible manner; and parking is ample. The two floor layout also gives it more character, and makes it more high end looking than the typical former supermarket shell most other 24 Hour Fitnesses are housed in.
The time when I go, it is completely dead, so I can't speak for the amount of meatheads or "scenery" on the premises, but if you are like me, someone who likes to work out in peace, this place is awesome during the not so busy hours.
Dumbbells and plates weigh the same here as anywhere else, so stop your whining, and get pumped up!

My cousin is a member of 24 hour fitness and I went with her to a step class on Saturday. I like this particular 24 Hour Fitness because the people arearelly nice and all of the machines are kept clean. I decided to get the 10 day pass and visit the gym to see if I like it. I did not end up getting a membership, but I do occasionally go with my cousin (free pass) to the Saturday step classes. They are really great classes. Very enjoyable.

After going to about 12 people trying to explain what blonde was, I was referred to Barberia. Jackie is absolutely the best colorist. And Terry makes sure all employees are educated on everything new. Also the best in hair cuts & styles!!! I will never go to anyone else.
Pros: Stay up-to-date on all things hair. Jackie is the best!!!
Cons: NONE!

Our kids had enough having birthday parties at Bel-Mateo Bowl to acquire a whole set of bowling pins. (they give the birthday person a pin). They had the best time. You get your own party room, choose from hot dogs or pizza and the staff is great helping out.
The kids love it and it's all done in 2 to 3 hours.

It will be hard to go anywhere but Bella's Nails. It is amazing. The atmosphere itself is worth it. Their process for doing french manicures is top notch.

The body shop has lots of nice lotion and oils, but not service. This lovely small store is always so full of different lotions and scent, that it's overwhelming sometime. At this store, I had realtively good service, but previous store in Oakland, the service was not so hot. I love that they are nice and for the most part, willing to give you as many sample of the oils and lotions as you like to try. Lots of good stuff here, but the prices are kind of expense, without the same kind of sales as say, bath and body works.

The Body Studio is a for-use-by-personal-trainers only gym. Hours are flexible, the trainers are AMAZING, and best of all, it only costs $50 per 1 hour session (vs. $65 + at most gyms). No membership fee or anything.

I have had my eyes examined by others, but never like I have had at Borel Eye Doctors. The Doctor really knew her stuff and took the time to figure out how to help me see better. I just picked up my glasses and a pair of contacts and it's amazing--- the difference is like night and day for me.
I think one of the reasons is they have a digital scanner that takes a few seconds instead of taking hours because they don't have to dilate my eyes. I have never seen this before. And they have the latest equipment which is clean and comfortable, including their exam chair. But the real reason I love this place is because they are so good.
I found the staff to be helpful, patient and caring. They have many, many frames and the prices were fair, if not lower than my old optometrist.
I will not hesitate to recommend Borel Eye Doctors to my friends and family.
I wish I had found them years ago for my mother, who really needs to see better. She's got an appointment next week.

Wish I was in the market for a new ring or piece of jewelry, but I'm not, so I can't really give a review on the jewelry, though it looked nice. I went here when I lost weight and had an engagement ring and ring jacket resized. The mall jeweler couldn't guarantee that their guy could resize the ring jacket and suggested Carlyle. They have an actual jeweler/gold guy on site and he knows what he is doing. It was relatively reasonable (a little more than I wanted to spend, but much less than buying new rings should they fall off) and finished within a week.
