Your Weekly San Francisco Club Update: February 1, 2023
Dear Member,
Just because January is coming to an end, that doesn’t mean it’s an end to your wellness journey! We have so much planned for you this week as we transition into a new month, and we can’t wait for you to experience it all. Take a look below!
What’s Happening at the Club This Week?
Fitness, Sports and Tennis Policy Reminder:
The Bay Club goes through great efforts to give our members a safe and enjoyable exercise experience. To accomplish this, our tennis and athletic instructors, and trainers are interviewed and extensively vetted regarding their experience, expertise, and background to allow our members to choose from a topflight instructional staff.
To maintain such standards, the Bay Club’s Membership Guidelines restrict “Formal, personal, or group instruction with regard to fitness and sports training, including tennis, by any individuals other than authorized Bay Club staff.”
We ask that all members be respectful of this policy. Violations of the policy could affect the memberships of both those offering and receiving unauthorized instruction, including the suspension or termination of memberships.
Please contact your Club if you have any questions regarding this policy.
Thank you for your cooperation.
