Your Weekly San Francisco Club Update: January 16, 2023
Dear Member,
Can you believe we’re halfway through January? The Clubs are BUSY, and we couldn’t be more pleased–our usage has surpassed 2019 levels! Go Bay Club!
To help you achieve your wellness vision, we have some great activities planned for you this week. As a reminder, we are all a part of the same community, so let’s take care of our shared space. We kindly ask that you please rack weights, clean equipment after each use, and follow all policies regarding cell phones.
We LOVE having you all back and are pleased to welcome so many new folks too! Whether you’re looking to sweat it out in a fitness class, spend time with family, or make new friends at a social event, we have you covered. Check out this week’s events below!
What’s Happening at the Club This Week?
If you’re visited Bay Club San Francisco after work hours on the weekdays, you’ve noticed how many members are using the club at this time. We’re so happy to have welcomed so many new members recently. We encourage you to check out our many studios at Bay Club San Francisco (and the rooftop once the rain clears) so you’re aware of all the great places to get your workout in. Need a club tour? Visit our Membership Desk across from the check-in station, and we’d be happy to show you around!
Also included in Executive Club memberships and above is full access to Bay Club Financial District at 555 California. FIDI continues to expand group exercise offerings with classes, such as Power Hour, IGNITE, and Guns and Buns. We also validate parking after 5:00 pm at Bay Club FIDI – check us out! If your membership does not currently include Bay Club FIDI, contact our Club Manager Jessica Frianela at jessica.frianela@bayclubs.com to arrange a club visit.
