👍 We re-joined the club in Feb. We love it since it is great location for the area resident and ample parking spot. They have added great new classes like Ignite and Hit. They also have outdoor classes so inside classes do not get crowded. The reason for 4 star is with being a huge place with cafete...

    We re-joined the club in Feb. We love it since it is great location for the area resident and ample parking spot. They have added great new classes like Ignite and Hit. They also have outdoor classes so inside classes do not get crowded. The reason for 4 star is with being a huge place with cafeteria there is a big need for recycling bin and unfortunately they have none. I did complain to one of the staff and he said he is completely all for it and he has mentioned to the management. Also equipment in the inside need to be cleaned once in a while.

    Everything is good about this club. However, its price is pretty high for the amount of amenities they offer and they can work on refurbishing their gym equipment.

    The gym, classes, and pools are pretty nice. Beware of fine print in the billing and clumsy processes for updates on membership. There's little in the way of recourse if there are billing issues, they could care less whether or not you remain member.

    Forget about any boxing. One thing that really upsets me is that for literally over 1.5 years we have been trying to get a simple heavy boxing bag. The kind you find in every single gym standard. When I joined they had one of those plastic at home ones and it broke. Then when we went back inside after Covid and after I was instructed to get other members to sign a petition that they wanted one, it was ordered. Then it was placed outside and guess what, broken. I pay over $400 per month, almost 5K per year to be a member, I would even buy the bag for $150 if they would just put it in the gym. This has been a complete joke. Every single member I spoke to, and some made videos for me, wants a bag to workout with for boxing and kickboxing. This gym has promised and yet we don't have a working heavy bag. Completely unacceptable. If you are hoping to be able to have the ability to workout with a heavy bag, don't join. If you are a current member and read this, please also post about this. The fact that I had to go get signatures on a petition and get videos of members saying they want a heavy bag in of itself just dumb for a gym of this caliber. Then the gym failed and failed again.

    It's my home away from home. Not only they took extra measures during COVID-19, they constantly upgrade and improve. They definitely make the members feel very welcome and comfortable.

    Conveniently located in Carmel Valley which is a key plus for residents in Carmel Valley. I love the positive vibes in this club. Love the group class instructors, very professional. High quality amenities. Feels like a recreation center / community in my backyard. :) The only downside is that it is often packed. Zumba classes have no social distancing. :) Ignite classes are often with full capacity. But I guess that becomes your motivation to come! Be sure to join a shared membership which can significantly lower your monthly payment.

    I have been a member of the Bay Club Carmel Valley for many years. Ever since Covid, everything has changed with this once wonderful vibrant place. In the last 6 months, they increased the membership twice while giving absolutely nothing in return. Most members would agree that visiting Bay Club Carmel Valley is thoroughly disappointing. This supposed "luxury" club fails to live up to its reputation, and I regret wasting my time and money on such a lackluster experience. First and foremost, the facilities are far from impressive. The gym, which is often touted as a major selling point, is always overcrowded and poorly maintained. The equipment is outdated and in desperate need of repair. It's evident that the management does not invest in the upkeep of their facilities, despite charging exorbitant membership fees. Moreover, the cleanliness of the club is subpar at best. The locker rooms are filthy and neglected, with overflowing trash bins and unpleasant odors. I had expected a higher standard of cleanliness considering the amount of money they charge for their memberships. Customer service is another major letdown. The staff members are disinterested and unhelpful, showing no genuine concern for the members' needs. Requests for assistance were met with indifference, leaving me feeling ignored and undervalued as a paying customer. It's clear that the management's focus is solely on making money rather than providing a positive customer experience. The scheduling and organization at Bay Club Carmel Valley are also chaotic. Classes are frequently canceled without prior notice, leaving members frustrated and inconvenienced. The lack of communication and disregard for the members' time is utterly unprofessional. Lastly, the value for money at this club is appalling. The exorbitant membership fees are unjustifiable considering the poor quality of the facilities and services offered. I have visited other fitness clubs in the area that provide superior amenities and a more positive environment at a fraction of the cost. In conclusion, my experience at Bay Club Carmel Valley is no longer what it used to be and is a complete disappointment. From the lackluster facilities and cleanliness to the unhelpful staff and poor organization, it failed to deliver on its promises of luxury and excellence. I strongly advise potential members to consider other alternatives in the area that offer better value for their hard-earned money.

    I had an extremely disappointing experience at this club. It seemed like they only cared about their elite members, even though the regular membership costs around $1000 a month. The general manager was incredibly rude and showed no interest in addressing any concerns. When I approached him once, he treated me as if he couldn't care less about any issues with the club. To make matters worse, the elite members constantly monopolize the Tennis and Pickleball courts, leaving little opportunity for others to enjoy them. I strongly believe that both the staff and the general manager are fully aware of these problems but choose to overlook them in order to cater to the elite members. It's truly disappointing that the staff prioritizes the elite to such an extent that as a regular member, you feel like a second-class citizen.

    Recent member to the Bay club. The staff is very helpful and very friendly. They have amazing equipment throughout. It's a great place to not only work out but to socialize as well. Well worth a look

    Very nice club. I joined it to play squash. There are two squash courts there. Nice courts but a bit too noisy.

    Great facility, huge. You can easily spend hours. Indoor group classes are so crowded! It was so nice that they stayed open when YMCAs closed for 6 full days and 2 shortened days!!
