Voted one of the Top 10 Spas in the USA by Conde Nast Traveler, both The Palms at Palm Springs and The Oaks at Ojai are delightful, stress-free places to lose pounds and inches. Both are owned and operated by Sheila Cluff, a world-renowned fitness expert, who has trained her staff to offer personal attention and reflect energy and love for what they do.

The Oaks and The Palms do not believe in the philosophy of "no pain, no gain" but do believe in a balanced program consisting of stretching (reduces stress and occurrences of injury), aerobic exercise (increases cardiovascular strength and increases fat metabolism), and strength training (increases muscle tone, metabolism and strength). These, coupled with intensity, duration, and frequency, make for a regimen that raises oxygen intake, increases heart rate, burns fat, and produces results.
