Think of this as a YMCA but bigger and better. First, the pool is bigger than the one in Newcastle…read moreand there's a hot tub kitty corner of the pool. They have nice dining options - quick deli and fancier restaurant called Splash. They have a few workout spots and outdoor tennis courts.

This is a review of the meeting rooms and catering food served during the events…read more Let me start off by saying this venue is not perfect. It has lots of room for improvement - some of which I will get into the details later. BUT! Compared to some of the other venues in this area, they are above average. Due to the nature of my job, I have been to several meeting/ball/conference rooms at various hotels all around the world. I participate in a monthly training at Bellevue Club, so even though I am not a member there, I get to use some of their facilities and catering food. They offer several types of lunch options. Mexican, Asian, Mediterranean, and American. The food quality tbh is just okay. But okay is okay! It is what is expected of food like this that is prepared for 200+ guests. I am not sure if they make their own desserts or not but I do enjoy their desserts more often than their lunch offerings. For example, Apple Tart (as pictured) was quite good! It was very sweet but the nutty flavors from the pecans and cinnamon balanced it out. I just wish that the food quality is more consistent. Some months, we get meats that are just way over cooked. Some months they come out near perfect. They have several meeting/conference rooms of different sizes and I have been in at least 4 different rooms. The room are clean and seats are comfortable enough. Projectors work and sound system is just fine as well. Zero complaints there. All the service employees I have interacted with have been very nice! I know there is a set minimum purchase for food/drinks to rent the room(s) but I do not remember the exact dollar amount. Based on memory, I did not think it was that expensive. Parking is free but they ask us to park at the Hilton parking lot, which is within 3 minutes walking distance. Just be careful - there are some designated parking spots owned by Diamond Parking. Do NOT park in these spots. You will be fined. I do not understand what Diamond Parking owns a certain number of spots inside of a hotel parking lot. Not cool! Bellevue Club also offers valet parking. I am not sure if this is only for the hotel guests though. I have not tried but I have interacted with the valet parking staff. They are all very nice and cool. That's about it! If you need to borrow a meeting room for 100+ people on the eastside, I can definitely recommend Bellevue Club.

I cancelled months after Bay Club acquired it. Charges doubled, service went down, and except for…read morethe basics everything just became super expensive. They made cancelling very difficult. Will never do that mistake again.

Since the Bay Club took over I've had billing issues...double payments. When i contacted them via…read morethe front desk (they no longer have a direct phone number for Billing) The front desk told me that "whenever double billing happens "they'll see it on their end and reverse one of the charges"...but now they actually apply the double charge to the upcoming month instead of refunding it. so I guess we no longer have the option for a refund...?? (updated). Shortly after this initial review my double payment was refunded after two weeks of trying to get in touch with the new owners...so now a 3star rating.

Pro Club is hands down one of the best gyms, if not the best…read more It's perfect for you if you're looking for a place to truly transform your lifestyle. It isn't like typical gyms, it feels more like a gym-resort-wellness center. It has high ceiling and ventilation is great. It can get smelly if it's super busy but that's why I go in the morning. I also like how everyone just focuses on themselves and no one is judging or being "weird." It's like everyone working out on their own pace and no judgement. I also had no experiences of going to the gym. It feels daunting initially because there's so many machines and it's overwhelming, which is why I particularly wanted to get a personal trainer and I love mine. Ainura is wonderful, she remembers the body goals im after and she helps me with a workout plan that will help me. You can see photos of my 3 month progress as proof. I've also had to visit out of state gyms due to work and I can safely say... pro club still the best. Love the staffs, environment, aura, and my trainer. LASTLY, I know it's on the higher end compared to other gyms but the amenities make it up. For example, free classes of Pilates, yoga, Zumba, etc. Going to miss Pro club for the next 2 weeks since I'm traveling :(

The Ultimate Premium Paradise (If You Hold a Paddle)…read more Let me start by saying: don't let this visual rating confuse you. It's perfect. It's magnificent. It's bespoke luxury. But only for us. The minute I picked up a paddle, I realized I was royalty and that Bay Club understands true elite status. My every minor whim is their command. I casually mention the "squeaky old basketball courts" are a bit archaic and inefficient for our gentlemanly strategy? Poof!--they literally roll a glorious slab of semi-permanent, cushioned vinyl right over that outdated, varnished hardwood. It's absolutely chef's kiss. They paved over the past, and I got more nets! The acoustic-deadening luxury is unparalleled. Who needs to see wood grain when you can have industrial-grade linoleum that silences the ghosts of whatever irrelevant sport used to be played here? This is what peak performance looks like: endless courts, endless tournaments, endless "Zero-Zero-Two!" shouts echoing through the hall. We don't need to sweat like animals; we dominate from a neat 10-foot box with true finesse. And to those disgruntled, archaic hoop-heads lingering in the corners? Please, evaporate. Your sport is a relic, a shambling corpse, and the NBA is literally a joke propped up by shoe commercials and social media drama. The refs couldn't spot a travel if a player packed a suitcase, booked a direct flight out of Sea-Tac, and walked through TSA with the ball tucked under their arm. Did they take three steps? Four? A gather-step? Just carry the ball like a running back, nobody cares anymore! There are no rules, just chaos and unnecessary, vulgar sweating. Seriously, the puddles of "hard work" they leave are a public health hazard. Disgusting. The old days are gone, Grandpa. I hear other people complaining about cleaning staffs being cut? Or the weight room looking like a monochrome hospital ward? As if that matters. I'm too focused on my next dink to notice dust, and who lifts weights when you can master gentlemanly strategy? Thank you, Bay Club, for finally prioritizing true culture and paving the way to the future. Keep the vinyl coming! See you all in the kitchen! Fine print: (This rating is purely for maximum visibility, as nobody reads 5-star reviews. Attracting your eyeballs was paramount.)

Former employee here in the personal training department. I worked out on a daily basis and was…read morevery happy with the racks - there are 8 of them and they were perfect for Olympic Weightlifting but aside from that, the equipment is basic - one Smith machine that is unstable under heavy weights, only two flat bench presses, no pec decs. As a trainer, I would not recommend this gym for advanced training. They lack proper equipment and are more concerned about sales numbers instead of focusing on member experience. Regarding members, I find the current administration lacking in basic understanding of the luxury experience. For almost 300 dollars, you'd expect to be treated with exceptional service, but that is not the case in this location. In addition to training, I offered stretching services but my table was located literally 2 feet from a janitorial closet that was accessed at least every 15 mins (mind you the cleaning staff was GREAT) which made the experience less than luxurious with the smell of cleaning equipment permeating the air. I have on numerous occasions asked for a different location but they never addressed it but my clients continued to pay premium price. Furthermore, they do not communicate with members when there are changes, they don't address concerns immediately, and take ages to address real concerns about safety, e.g. photography in the locker rooms and/or addressing concerns about inappropriate behavior from other members - creating a very unsafe space. On the issue of treatment of workers, it's even worse. My personal experience was terribly traumatic. I felt unsafe as an employee especially after several incidents regarding behaviors that directly impacted my well-being as a gay person of color. They lack the sensitivity or wherewithal to address these concerns in a meaningful way - even after being informed of specific concerns. The hiring process is overtly nepotistic - the training manager and lead general showed patterns of favoritism towards men they knew from their past - mind you, their backgrounds rests in their experiences in non-luxury gyms like 24 fitness. They would hire men without vetting through multiple interviews - I had to interview with 3 people before I was hired and went through a very long process. One of their nepo hires commented that I looked like I had AIDS. Furthermore, they take advantage of trainers' time. I spent hundreds of hours to acquire leads via class offerings that were largely unpaid - this was a necessary tool because they typically do not give necessary support and resources. I created my own Instagram and videos on my own time - which helped my business but they removed it after approval and blamed me for inquiring about it. The studio lead claimed she didn't know how it happened, but it was clear she knew but refused to make any changes opting instead to cover up their error (these are documented). I quit this place because it's unsafe for people like me. I would not recommend this place for women or persons of color and definitely not for the gay community. In addition, I believe their pricing and offer of "amenities" are NOT commensurate with what Life Time generally offers. It's not worth the price because it's a basic gym with little to no luxury treatment of members.

Coaches with little to no experience are hired to train and provide kids with a club volleyball…read moreexperience where they can be competitive while also helping players develop. I have been involved with youth sports, including club, for over 25 years. This is by far the worst coach, director, and organization I have ever seen. We tried to work with the coach, tried to be patient, and even escalated to the club Director Tony. Eventually we decided there was zero hope for any accountability or improvement. The only response was "thank you, we will be sure you don't owe us any additional $". Winning is important but if your coaching style and organization make it so that a kid doesn't want to do that sport anymore...that says a LOT. Save your money, go somewhere else. We had an absolutely terrible experience with a coach who clearly has not lead a team before, who would often sit and not coach the team during games if she felt the team was capable of doing better. Find a club with coaches who are more mature than the kids they are coaching.

i have been going to this ymca around 1-2 times a week for the past year or so. i think it's…read moreawesome and i've really relied on it. it's definitely not perfect, but it's helped me out in so many ways first of all, they provide financial assistance based on income, and i only have to pay half the amount for a membership, which REALLY helps me out and keeps me here bc gym memberships can get so expensive fr!! there is literally no better deal than here--i'm never leaving i am SO grateful for their kids zone. i wish it were open for more hours of the day, but i understand only being open for the times with the most traffic. as a busy, working single mom, it's really a big help that i can drop off my kiddo at the kids zone and go work out. it gives me the space and time i need to recharge and focus on myself before i go back into mom mode i will say that i feel like the kids zone might be understaffed or at least the staff members who ARE there usually seem exhausted. i feel like there's usually a LOT of kids there, so the workers aren't able to carefully look after each kid, which is understandable, but they frequently text/call me during my workout to say that my son is being too rowdy, and i need to come and either talk to him or just stop my workout and take him out completely. it makes me wonder if it's true that my son just purposely pushed another kid unprompted and needs to leave right away or if something happened that could have just been a teaching moment from the counselors there. i feel like, with so many kids, the staff probably aren't able to really take their time with the kids, which definitely makes sense but it is sort of frustrating to have to suddenly cut my workout short bc a of call from the kids zone. the kids zone is great tho there's a separate area for babies and toddlers with all sorts of toys, and there's a bigger area with bigger fun equipment for the bigger kids. i often see the workers holding the tiniest babies, which would make me feel good as a baby mom (my son is 3 y/o now) i will say that the general atmosphere and the vibe of the people at the ymca is mostly old people, tired and burnt out adults (both members and staff), or hectic families with children. i've been to other gyms that were full of young people who looked like they had a lot of spirit for their bright futures, and there was a lot of positive energy in the air, and this does not feel like that haha. if going off people's energy around you is important to stay motivated to work out, this might not be it for you there is something about the people here... a lot of times, there's someone on the stationery bicycle who's watching a video with the volume way up, or someone's on the stairmaster and talking loudly on their phone, or they're making distracting grunting noises on the weight machines. at one of my other gyms, there were signs on the walls about gym etiquette that i wished were here :( it's fine if you have your headphones in and just ignore everyone tho i love that there are so many different classes and events for kiddos and families either for free with a membership or with a reduced price. it's so much easier registering for different kids programs here than having to hunt them down one by one and drive all over town i have also tried a lot of the fitness classes, and i have to say that literally all of the teachers have just not had a very encouraging attitude. some of them are very get-in-and-get-out, some are very strict and hold you to a high standard, and some have an intimidatingly dark sense of humor. i've had some other fitness instructors in the past for various classes, and i really like the energetic, positive, encouraging, uplifting fitness coaches. here at the ymca, i've done chair yoga, pilates, tai chi, barre, and strength training, and literally all those teachers just did not seem happy doing their jobs. i will say, though, that the kids basketball coaches were awesome. maybe they just save all the excited, positive teachers for the kids programs i also think it's great that there are so many programs for active older adults. there seems to be a good community of older folk here, and that's cool to see mmm i think that's all my thoughts haha

I really like this location, but I have two major concerns that will determine whether I continue…read moremy membership here. First, the temperature and ventilation. It is incredibly hot inside. For a gym environment, proper air circulation is essential, yet the air feels stagnant and there is a persistent, strong odor. It is very difficult to work out in these conditions. I'm literally drenched in sweat the moment I walk in, and the lack of fresh air makes me feel lightheaded and dizzy during my sets. Is there a working AC system? Are there plans to improve cooling for the summer? I need to know this before I decide whether to renew my membership or not. The last three months have been unbearable, and I believe this might even be a safety/health code issue. Second, the equipment. Many of the machines in the main area, specifically the hip abduction/adduction (inner/outer thigh) and leg curl machines, are broken. While the renovated zone is great, these essential machines have been out of order for a while. Are there plans to repair or replace them soon? I would appreciate a clear response so I can understand if I should continue coming here this summer or if I need to look for another gym where the conditions are safer and the equipment is functional.
