Spencer grew up around Lifestyle Outdoor his entire life and used to think everyone had a hot tub in their backyard. He was brought on to help with digital marketing, but soon found himself helping customers in the showroom. He now splits his time between the two roles. Spencer has a natural ability to find the hot tub that best fits a customer’s needs, all the way from the size of the spa down to each and every jet. He enjoys the excitement and happiness a hot tub brings to the customer.
About
Our story
Our Origin
Your Leading Spa Dealership in Southern California for 35+ Years
The Claypool family has worked in the home pool and spa industry since 1982. Jeff, Lifestyle Outdoor’s President, started his career more than 30 years ago installing, servicing, and remodeling pools alongside his father. As part of the job, he attended a home show, where he discovered the Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs and Hot Spring® Spas brands.
After learning about their products, he became a distributer and started selling hot tubs and spas in the Los Angeles area. Two years later, in 1984, Lifestyle Outdoor opened its first retail location, focusing all of its attention on supplying state-of-the-art hot tubs and spas to its customers. Lifestyle Outdoor has since expanded to include Jacuzzi® Infrared Saunas as well as Endless Pools®.

Marketing and Sales Manager
Jeff Claypool
Founder, Owner, President
Jeff was a teenager when he started maintaining, repairing and remodeling swimming pools in the mid 1970s. The hot tub industry was in its infancy back then, but he hopped on board at the very beginning, knowing it would quickly become a household essential. He began assembling and installing Redwood Hot Tubs for customers. By 1981, he opened his first retail store with his dad, selling and delivering self-contained portable spas. In 1984, he signed dealer agreements with both Hot Spring®️ and Jacuzzi®️ brand spas. As they say—the rest was history. Eventually, both his sons, Garett and Spencer, joined the business after they graduated college. He’s excited to be able to see his boys bring a fresh and inspired outlook to this growing diversified industry. They all feel the potential for growth in Los Angeles is unlimited, and he’s proud to share this exciting opportunity with both his boys.
Garett Claypool
Regional Manager
Garett joined the family business along his dad and brother in 2013. He was excited by the potential to improve an already successful business. His favorite part about the business is working with his family and the members of the staff who he considers family as well. He manages the behind the scenes projects tasks that allow the associates to deliver the best customer service and sales experience to Lifestyle Outdoor clients.
