San Clemente / South Orange County

Fitness Space in San Clemente

Talega Village Center, a Ralphs-anchored Regency Centers property, has two fitness tenants today: Anytime Fitness and Club Pilates. There is no big-box gym in the center. The Courtyards at Talega and the Pico and Vista Hermosa centers are the other places to look for specialty fitness. Downtown San Clemente is too parking-constrained for full-format gym uses.

What to diligence before LOI

  1. 01

    With a 24/7 gym and a pilates studio already at Talega Village Center, ask the landlord which fitness categories are covered by existing exclusives before proposing a similar format.

  2. 02

    Class-peak parking at Talega. Saturday morning and weekday 5:30 p.m. peaks share the lot with Ralphs shoppers.

  3. 03

    Slab, ceiling height, and HVAC need engineering review in most neighborhood-center suites.

  4. 04

    Coastal seasonality for tourist-adjacent boutique studios downtown; resident-only models are steadier.
