Bay Club Santa Monica

Love this place! I’ve been a member for over a year. The locker room facilities are always immaculate, which is really important to me. The showers, sauna, dressing stations are well stocked. The eucalyptus towels are a bonus! Classes are high quality, with tons of variety in times and class types. It suits my shifting schedule because I can always find a great class to pop into. The staff is welcoming and kind. The demographic is definitely more mature, which has grown on me. It makes for a drama free environment. The facility is dated but they do a great job of maintaining and upgrading equipment periodically.

A pleasure to train at the Bay Club Santa Monica. Diana P. is the manager and has made it an exceptional place to train. She is a knowledgeable trainer herself as well as a hands on administrator in the fitness business for many years.I have witnessed her immediate responsiveness to members and ability to competently address their needs. The club itself provides a wonderful, clean, space with amenities. I am glad to have found this gym after the closure of the Palisades Bay Club. 1/18/2025

It’s a great place to work out. I used to go every day at 3:00 pm. However, I decided to discontinue my membership because they close on Saturday and Sunday at 3:00 pm which I think is crazy because of the price of the membership. Better to go somewhere where they are open later on weekends.

The Bay Club Santa Monica is supposed to be all fancy and upscale. They ask a high price for membership also. A staff member didn't show up for work and batteries were not in a device clients need.

Wants to be boutique but just your typical club. The facility itself feels dated. Machines are often out of service, mats are cracked and overdue for replacement, and much of the equipment is of the last generation, not updated. Maintenance is inconsistent at best. The men’s restroom frequently has clogged toilets, the water fountains are often broken, and the showers quickly become unpleasant with leftover toiletries, bandages, and other debris. They don’t seem to be cleaned regularly during the day and often reach a level of gross. The locker room is small, awkwardly laid out, and overcrowded during peak hours—picture men in towels squeezing past each other at uncomfortable angles just to get dressed. Lastly, be cautious with your membership—there is no option to pause. If you then need to cancel (as I did during a short-term move from the area), expect to be charged for an extra two months unless the cancellation falls exactly on their specified dates. A big health club tactic and was very disappointing.
