Bay Club Portland

Fantastic experience: I have been to several gyms in my life from low end crap out in Cornelius (Anytime Fitness) to decent mid level gym in Hillsboro 24 Hour fitness. Club Sports on the other hand is a super luxury gym. A Bentley among gyms this is the first super luxury corporate gym in Oregon and I am very satisfied with it. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Great facility, great trainers, great staff. Wonderful for a family. Their kids world is fantastic! Family yoga and family movie night indoor and outdoor pools climbing wall fantastic

Fantastic experience: Love this place and we are so happy we joined. The trainers are great and they make you feel at home. Great place with a great staff!

Fantastic experience: Very good gym. You can find a lot of great fitness classes here. Also nice place to take your clients. Good for business. Child care is free for members. If you have no babysitter the club offer Parent Escape for the evening a month. Parents can go out and leave kids to have fun. Expensive club but I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

Fantastic experience: Teacher Erica for swimming is the best ever!!! She is 100 percent patient, kind, and an expert in her field. Our daughter has excelled tremendously and found a love of swimming, all thanks to Teacher Erica. She puts a lot of thought into making her lessons fun and interactive and also incorporates fun swim toys. My husband also has had the benefit of learning swim instruction from Erica. She was able to fine tune all of his strokes and help him achieve all of his swimming goals. Ten thumbs up for our favorite swim Coach, Teacher Erica!!!

Fantastic experience: Great Gym! Committed trainers, lots to do

Fantastic experience: My 3 year old son has been working with Coach Erica for the last 6ish months. Finding her and her swim classes has been one of the best experience. Erica is compassionate, knowledgeable, patient and is just so amazing with her students. My son has learned so much in such a short time. Thank you Coach Erica you have a lifelong student with our family

Fantastic experience: This review is for Coach Erica, our swim coach at the Bay Club. My two kids have been taking private lessons with Erica for almost a year. Prior to lessons, our son really wasn't able to swim. He had started lessons prior to covid, but then he lost those skills over the two years away from swimming. He is now a confident swimmer and can swim both freestyle and backstroke. He is now starting pre-swim team and is loving the new challenge (age 6)! My daughter was already confident in the water, but she had also lost most of her stroke skills during covid. She is now able to swim all four strokes and is starting swim team with Erica before transitioning to a full swim team (age 9). Erica is a great coach. She is firm but also very fun, ending each session with fun water play. She really emphasizes the details of each stroke so that the kids learn them right from the start. If a certain drill isn't working, she will try something else. I am a swimmer myself, so I am definitely watching closely to see how they are learning. I have been very impressed. I wish I had Erica when I learned to swim too! It is such a pleasure to be able to go to water events and know that my kids are safe and having a blast, and we don't have to be in the water every second with them!

Fantastic experience: Our daughters (4, 7) have been taking swim lessons at the Bay Club with Erica Hafen for almost a year. Their comfort level, skills, and enthusiasm for swimming have grown so much. We were feeling behind with the pause in swimming lessons during the pandemic, but with Erica's help, it has taken no time for them to catch right up. We've recently transitioned from private to group "swim team" lessons and this has been great. We love Coach Erica! She is an excellent teacher and very passionate about swimming.

Fantastic experience: I love their workout facilities and variety selection of group exercise. On top of that, Bay Club Portland has the best swim instructors. My son has been with Coach Erica for over a year. In the beginning he had basic skills for some strokes and kicks. After a few months with Coach Erica, he is able to do all the kicks and strokes, and after a year he is now in competitive swim team!! Coach Erica knows how to motivate kids, and passionate about teaching swimming to kids. I highly recommend Bay Club for the parents who are looking for a good swim instructor for their kids.

Fantastic experience: This review is for Coach Erica who is my children’s swim instructor at the Bay Club. My son (4yo) has been taking lessons with Erica for a little over a year and my daughter (18mo) has taken a few mommy and me sessions throughout the year as well. Coach Erica has been amazing with both of them and has made our experience in the pool so wonderful as a family. Speaking mostly about my son, he came to Erica as a kid who would fight getting his head wet and now he’s doing her pre-swim team program. We’ve gone from very little comfort in the water to a high level of comfort over a short time. Erica knows how to get the most out of her students with a myriad of coaching techniques and the right balance of focus and fun in the lesson. She definitely has a work hard, play hard mentality about her lesson’s and she takes the fun part just as seriously as the work! She’s been a pleasure to work with. She has excellent and quick communication and tries to help make it a great experience for the whole family. We love Coach Erica!

Fantastic experience: We love our swim lessons with teacher Erica! My kids started swimming with her at just a few months old. She is an amazing swim instructor. All three of our kids are learning swimming with her (currently age 3-5). When my parents came to visit, they were in awe how advanced the kids are for their age. I personally love the water safety she practices and teaches as well. My kids absolutely adore Erica. She is fun, engaging and great with children. Erica is an excellent instructor and I like that she is easy to communicate with. She pushes the kids just to the point where they keep learning, but not too much that they loose the fun at it. My kids love the water, gained a lot confidence in it and learned a variety of skills. A neat bonus of taking swim lessons at Bay Club Portland is that they get to swim in the outdoor pool at times as well in the summer. During Covid it was very difficult to get into swim lessons. We tried it all: Farber, Children of the Sea, Emler, and now for the past year with teacher Erica again and Bay Club. While we really liked one of the other swim schools (and one was an absolute waste of time and money), teacher Erica doesn't compare at all to them. The kids get so much out of her lessons! It would have taken years with the other swim schools.

Fantastic experience: We’ve been taking swim lessons with Coach Erica for a year now and she’s amazing! My daughter absolutely adores her and she does a fantastic job of teaching new skills, pushing them to do better and also being fun. My daughter has improved tremendously and her love of swimming has only grown. We also enjoy kids world and all the classes the bay club offers.

Fantastic experience: Our son has been swimming and taking lessons with Teacher Erica since he was 18 mos. He’s 3 now and he can keep himself Floating, find the wall, dive, and swim unassisted for short periods. He’s learning different strokes now. We started for general safety, but kept going bc he was learning so much!

Fantastic experience: Clean. Working equipment. Great amenities great for families and athletes alike.

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility, greet instructors and friendly knowledgeable staff - I couldn’t ask for more in an athletic facility!

Fantastic experience: I love playing pickleball here. In addition, the club has everything I needed, weights, swimming pools, sauna, jacuzzi and steam rooms. It also serves food. Nice, clean and right size.

Fantastic experience: very good service

Fantastic experience: We’ve been members for a couple months and are super happy with it! Tons of classes and machines, lots of space to sit and work on a laptop, and a fantastic staff. Hoping for some renovations in the future just to improve/expand on the indoor and outdoor pools and kids’ area, but it’s still great right now. Shared membership option (where you can have members from different households) makes it a great value, too!

Fantastic experience: Felt like a celebrity going here. Im hella out of shape but had a great time.

Fantastic experience: The pictures don’t do this place justice. This place is kinda tucked in but inside is a top-notch facility for everything athletic. The customer service is superb and the place is managed expertly. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an athletic club to consider this place over the larger chains out there.

Fantastic experience: Nice, well appointed sports club. Good service. Really like the indoor pool, free coffee and yoga classes.

Fantastic experience: Awesome venue. Lots of machines and space and options for the whole family

Fantastic experience: This gym is somewhere I wish I could live. There’s a bit of everything for everyone and they also have an amazing childcare staff!

Positive experience: The Bay club presents a slightly less-than experience when compared to Club Sport (the previous owners), but this is still an incredible facility that offers anything you could want. Frequent workout classes, a “CrossFit“-like area, and indoor and outdoor pool, saunas, hot tubs, lots of cardio equipment, a café, smoothies, and one of the best weightlifting gyms in the greater Portland area. Downside - it is decently expensive, especially for a grad student, which is why I have since left for 24 hour fitness.

Positive experience: It's a really great facility but you have to go during early morning hours or it's jam-packed.

Fantastic experience: What a beautiful exercise destination. The hip-hop dance class was an excellent workout. Lots of high energy. The hot tub was amazing.

Fantastic experience: Been going to the gym for a few months now. A nice place for all sorts of workout and sports.

Fantastic experience: Fun, fun, fun. I'd rate it AAA

Fantastic experience: These guys did a ridiculously good job dealing with covid and opening up as soon as they could, the employees are always super helpful. It costs more then 24 or L.A. but you absolutely get what you pay for.

Fantastic experience: Bay Club Portland is incredible athletic club that offers a great workout and social experience - even during a pandemic. They have worked so hard to keep the offerings going including weightlifting, cycle, group classes, swimming, basketball, racquetball, pickleball and kids' programs. It's an awesome place for individuals and families. It's been a great 25 years. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Oregon

Fantastic experience: this place is worth every penny. best gym i've been to in a long long time.

Fantastic experience: Greatest club I've ever belonged to in the State of Oregon! Great caring staff, clean & comfy, great amenities, fulfilled my Yoga, Pilates, Dining, Basketball & Athletic Training needs. Nice apparel shop inside too. Nice family atmosphere of hospitality, yet sincere, beautiful cliental inside-&-out. Sensible rules are set and enforced to ensure a wholesome atmosphere, yet not controlling or taking away from individuality.

Fantastic experience: The way they adapted to covid is awesome, great club and great people.

Fantastic experience: The best club in Oregon! It has everything you would want in a fitness, sports, hospitality and family establishment.

Fantastic experience: As long as you’re not a woke loser you’ll love this place

Fantastic experience: High priced; keeps the rif-raff and california trash out!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Bay Club for well over 10 years. I remember when the facility was originally a Costco, then Sports Nation, then Clubsport and more recently Bay Club. As a premier fitness facility it caters to those looking for a gym that is more lifestyle than just a workout facility. It includes a rock climbing wall, restaurant, indoor/outdoor pool, racquet ball and basketball courts. It is extremely kid friendly and I would say most of the ppl that I know who go here are families with children or who are retired. It is not a meat market by any means. However with Covid, Bay Club has had to revamp the gym to fit within CDC guidelines. Being curious by nature I went on their first day reopening. The gym has a new online scheduler where ppl have to sign up in advance for their workout time. You are limited to a 1.5hr workout session. This helps with control the number of ppl in the facility. Check in was a breeze with the App and they cordially checked my temp and asked me the typical fever/cough/chill questionnaire. Locker rooms didn't have most of the normal amenities. No showers, sauna or sitting in the lounge area in the men's locker room. Pretty much you can only use the toilet and wash your hands in the locker room. They had a designated person there cleaning everything I potentially touched too. There is social distancing tape everywhere to help with flow of traffic. Then there are workout areas that you can pick to workout in. Once you pick an area they request you stay in your designated zone. You can move about into a different zone but it is best to stay in one area. I was doing cardio so I chose an area with a bike and light weights all to myself. Everyone there was extremely helpful. All employees wore PPE and were constantly cleaning equipment. It is recommended guests wear masks but it is not required. There were stations for patrons to sanitize their hands but no cleaner for them to use on equipment. I felt the zone I chose was extremely clean and when I left I let one of the employees know and he quickly went to spray it all down. Overall, I am impressed with how Bay Club has responded to the Covid situation and new guidelines. The club has always been clean, one of the reasons I enjoyed going here, but they have taken this to a new level for our safety. I appreciate that.

Fantastic experience: Appreciate the level of care and adaptability bay club has demonstrated.

Fantastic experience: Great job making changes to support safety and physical distancing!!

Fantastic experience: I have enjoyed this club for 5 years. Love the upgrades and kind staff. Keep up the good work!!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to the club since December 2019 and have loved it. I wanted to add a review about their commitment to safety throughout the pandemic. They have done a tremendous job. The space is huge and very safe. There are plenty of warnings and signage throughout that explains all expectations. The staff has done a great job of making sure people wear masks and are thoroughly cleaning everywhere. Obviously modern care for others is a must and we should help them keep it clean. Again, I have high praise for what they have been doing. Keep up the great work and know we appreciate you.

Fantastic experience: great place for families!! amazing variety of workout areas, and fun classes to take for everyone. staff is very friendly.

Fantastic experience: Great place with wonderful personal. Enjoyed massage so much. The place is quite and perfect for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Cancelled 24 hour fitness and not regretting it. Membership is more, but that’s the price you pay to have towel service, kids club, and a sauna that doesn’t smell like hot garbage. The crowd is a little old and low energy, but the awesome equipment makes up for it

Fantastic experience: This gym is exceptional. It's huge! Basketball courts, new updated equipment, lots of free weights and a very friendly staff. One of the best gyms I've been to!

Fantastic experience: Me, my wife and baby Cole have been members for almost 4 months. This place is AWESOME and JACK in membership services has gone above and beyond to take care of us. We upgraded to Gold Members because of him and all the Staff in Kids World! Easy decision and a No-Brainer! Jenni and all the staff in KIDS WORLD ROCK! It is like a well-oiled machine over there and I would reccomend CLUB SPORT to everyone! A BIG THUMBS UP!! Thx again from Tozh, Kathy & Cole Erickson!!

Fantastic experience: This place is wonderful. Members only and is usually not too crowded. There is plenty of space and equipment. Basketball, rock climbing, classes, pools (outdoor and indoor) and the best is 2 hours of daycare daily for the children to allow you time to work out. Their day care staff is great and the kids love going too.

Fantastic experience: My second time here. Took my son rock climbing. This facility accommodates pretty much everything you can think of including a place to eat called citrus. Very spacious and friendly. I know I need to come here more often to get a better understanding but so far so good.

Fantastic experience: Wow, this place is fancy. I went here for a kids birthday party and the facilities in here are super high end. Where do I start? The rock walls are HUGE and are bigger and more numerous than some rock wall businesses that only do rock Walls. That was the bulk of the kid activities was climbing and the staff was great and helpful and got all the kids turns quickly. The cafeteria and dining areas are also very nice and you can watch the basketball courts or rock walls or a giant projection TV with comfy leather seating. Had no issues here and once again the staff was great. I went away from the party to check out the other areas and saw a wonderful juice bar and protein cafe next to a state of the art workout area. This is in addition to various courts, turfs, spinning classes, pools, and even a kids area for drop off during exercise time. All in all I say this place is super amazing and I'm scared to know what the price tag wound be for membership but I'm sure if you can afford it then it wound totally be worth it. I love that this is close to my house and easy to find as well.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional club! Great staff! Clean! Awesome childcare...my son looks forward to going every time. Its a wonderful community as well. It makes our family excited to workout!!!!
