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. 0 -
Wow, it looks like a spa moreso than a gym. It also looks pricey. I hope personal training and massages are included.0

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.0 -
Sounds like a social club more than a gym.0

Based on the pictures I can't see a drop of sweat being produced there0 -
It reminds me of Planet Fitness but without that annoying purple.0

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.0 -
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.0 -

I am considering taking my laptop there so I can sit in one of the beautiful lounge rooms.
Why would you put on makeup and perfume right before the gym???????0 -
What the actual....???

Not sure if you are serious.0 -
That's a gym?
I don't see the squat machines, the weight room, the cardio room, free weights, benches, I don't hear the gym shop-talk, I don't smell the sweat, I'm not putting the bar with 70 pounds added across the back of my shoulders, and I certainly don't taste the sweet satisfaction of working toward a healthier physique like all those other people in the gym wearing their ordinary gym clothes.
However, if it works for you that's what matters.
Where is the gym equipment, by the way?
I have friends who go for that kind of environment, but not me. No way.
Oh, what gym is this?0 -

You put makeup on to go to the gym?
If you're sweating, it will come right off again.0 -

I've been in the one in SF. It's like $160 a month and $250 a month for premium membership. Lol, to me you're paying them to basically bask in their bathrooms.
