Exer – More Than Urgent Care Coming to Conejo Gateway Plaza in Newbury Park

Finally, a sign (literally) of something coming to the space previously occupied by Revolution Surf at the Conejo Gateway Plaza in Newbury Park at the corner of N. Wendy Drive and Old Conejo Road! I always thought it would be a great spot for a gym, but Anytime Fitness is in process of fulfilling that vision in the same plaza.

According to its website, Exer - More Than Urgent Care offers treatment ranging from the level of your basic urgent care to just below that of a hospital ER. "Small things like scrapes and bruises can be treated at home, and life-threatening conditions like heart attacks need to be taken care of at a hospital ER. For everything in between there is Exer – More Than Urgent Care. As long as your condition or illness is non life-threatening, we can help you get the care you need quickly and conveniently but without the cost of a hospital ER. Our centers are equipped with digital x-ray, a diagnostic laboratory, splinting & laceration rooms, IV capabilities and more. We also work closely with the best local imaging centers for MRI and CAT scan imaging when you need it."

Sounds like a worthy addition to the local community! This will be only the 3rd Exer location, following Beverly Hills and Calabasas. I like the sounds of this!

Its Calabasas location at 26777 Agoura Rd, Suite 4 is open 9am to 9pm, 7 days a week.

No word on when the Newbury Park location will open, but I'm sure their website at www.exerurgentcare.com will keep you posted.

Simply Healthy Smoothies and Nutrition in Newbury Park Opened Saturday, April 27th

As alluded to in this previous post, "Simply Healthy"opened its doors this past Saturday, April 27th. I stopped by the first time last night and ordered up a chocolate peanut butter smoothie, which came with an iced tea and shot of aloe juice which had me zipping along with renewed energy. Tasted great. They have several dozen flavors to choose from, but of course I had to go with the chocolate.

I was too busy chatting with co-owner Randy, pictured below, to even jot down their phone number or ask about their hours. But I do know they are located at the former Golden Spoon location at 796 North Wendy Drive, Newbury Park, just southwest of the 101 freeway.

These shakes have Herbalife products in them and are considered meal replacement drinks. But if you still have room afterwards, you can visit the McDonald's or Newbury Donuts flanking Simply Healthy. Or ignore my advice and listen to theirs as they do provide nutritional programs and advice!
