Bay Club El Segundo

"Most instructors are great and enjoy the facilities but they keep increasing the prices. It’s gone up $50/month in about a year with very little warning. Equinox and Afterburn are probably better gym choices for the price so I’d recommend looking into those before signing up here."

"Amazing gym. There is a range of sports you can play there. Great pool, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. Basketball courts are quality and weights room is top notch. Cafeteria food is pricey but good quality. Staff are very friendly"

"When it comes to Gyms in the South Bay, Bay Club El Segundo is top 2 and it's not 2. I write this to you, my dear reader, dripping in sweat on the spin bike near the Racquetball courts trying to lean out as much as possible before I leave for this Mexico trip tomorrow. I don't even know where to start with this review to be honest. So much to cover. It has been a staple of the community since it was the Sports Connect (or Sports Erect as the locals called it hehehe), then when it was Spectrum, and now Bay Club. I have been a fixture in here ever since the Spectrum days (2005ish) when I was cooking other 9 year olds at the School of Skillz camp that was running in the Clipper Gym, as the Clippers used to practice here. Summers in here used to be like a low budget all star game as there were 2 full indoor basketball courts. I've seen Derek Fisher, James Harden, Lisa Leslie, Andrew Bynum, Klay Thompson, Timofey Mozgov, Devin Fleming, all cook in here over the years, among many others. When Bay Club took ownership and removed one half of the basketball courts, they removed a piece of my soul with it. But that's okay, all good things must come to an end and there is beauty in that. When I lost the basketball bug my junior year of high school (due to getting cut from the basketball team haha) I coped by picking up the weights. The weight room in here is idyllic as there are plenty of bench presses, squat racks, machines, dumbbells, pull up bars, open spaces, etc. Seldom have I ever had to wait for a bench press in here, which is a luxury I didn't understand in my youth. That was a rude awakening when I got to college. Once I realized that girls really don't care about how your body looks as long as you are in decent shape, my passion for picking up weights and putting them down withered. I signed up for a half ironman because I figured I'm in the gym all this time, may as well put it towards some sort of end goal. I then did my 4 month crash course in ironman training in Bay Club, rotating from the olympic sized pool, to the spin bike, to the treadmill for 6 days a week. It was hell, but it was my chosen form of hell and I felt like a world champion when I completed that half ironman. All this to say, this place has seen this young chimp become a full grown gorilla and has been there for me through all 3 phases of my workout journey. What more could I possibly ask for in a gym? Oh you thought I was going to end this review without shouting out my boy Ray, who has been holding it down at the front desk for YEARS? Well think again, my dear reader. Ray used to have to kick us out of the gym when closing time came as we’d be begging “Please Ray it’s next basket wins just one more basket” as he would stand there and begrudgingly oblige. Ray is honestly the best employee I could ever imagine, nothing gets by Ray. You wanna sneak a homie in when Ray isn't looking? GOOD LUCK. Best to just come back on another day I promise, we never got by Ray. Y'all need to pay Ray more, man I love Ray. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__"

"The best gym I've ever been to. The staff are great. The kids club is amazing. It's the only place I know that watches my kids while I workout. They're always upgrading the equipment. The trainers are amazing. And did I mention free coffee before 11am?"

"I've been going to the Bay club on and off for the past eleven years, every time I'm back to LA I end up signing up again. There aren't too many options in the area for private gyms, I really wish the members from the Howard Hughes did not merge to this location, because they tend to not clean up after themselves and some talk loud on the phone while working out, but seems like they're not staying for too long after their contracts end. I'm excited about the new renovation, the facility looks much better now. They have a good variety of classes, the instructors are knowledgeable, yoga practice is very good similar to Yoga Loft, they have private Pilates and regular Pilates classes that are amazing to tone up. I enjoy my late night workout and equipment. There is a program of activities that change during the year such as conducting sound bath sessions. The management are nice and professional when I contact them of issues. Cafe and food menu is fresh with healthy choices and pleasant service The only concern is that the jaccuzi needs to be drained more often with more members using it .. or at least filter foam in the ladies spa. I'll update my review if this issue is fixed as I hope it does!"
