I joined a gym called Bay Club and I've been going every day. It's really beautiful inside and I have to admit that motivates me to go. The idea of going just makes me happy. Does anyone else go to this gym? I think it's only in California...Unfortunately the branch I go to doesn't have a pool :'(

    Looks like it sucks. Don't see any weights, cardio equiment or anything else to get work done :) . No way personally I would pay for all the unneeded overhead.

    Wow, it looks like a spa moreso than a gym. It also looks pricey. I hope personal training and massages are included.

    lol...you have to pay more for personal training and massages :P

    so you're paying for pretty decor? I mean what does the membership get you.

    PS by the way I totally think this is spam.

    I very much doubt I would be willing to pay the member fees in that glam spa.

    I'd also be willing to bet that those "financial planning" talks are actually sales pitches for ridiculous overpriced annuities and other insurance products.

    Sounds like a social club more than a gym.

    Based on the pictures I can't see a drop of sweat being produced there

    It reminds me of Planet Fitness but without that annoying purple.

    it's $150/month if you are under 30 (otherwise $200), and you have to pay $150 to join but it used to be $500 apparently..haven't been to the financial talks yet as I just joined, my dad wants to go LOL:)

    My health club/fitness center has no fee to join and is $32 per month with no contract. Age 60 or over is $22 per month and still no contract.

    I am really only familiar with the SF Tennis Club, which the Bay Clubs chain just bought. But I have heard too. They are expensive. The amenities and locker rooms tend to be great. The fitness equipment, not so much; you can do as well or better for less.
    So, if you like plenty of nice towels and showering with other men and need to be able to buy a smoothie inside your club, the Bay Clubs are great. But, if you are looking to sweat -- that is, for bumper plates so you can deadlift and lots of squat racks so you can always get one and leg press machines and pull-up bars, etc. -- you can find cheaper with more.
    The tennis courts at the SF Tennis Club (and the other one they own in the city; don't remember the name) are great. But time on those courts is -- this is a theme here -- a bit pricey.
