Service was alright, young staff so I give them some leniency.. not many food choices (again this is AT this specific event) Desserts were good. Parking was a hassle very busy area obviously we were told to park in was a disaster. Our tickets weren't working because they were "event tickets" so we had to walk through the entire garage to the office to get our parking tickets verified. Sad to say it, but I really had higher expectations for this place.

Excellent club! Great place for the squash enthusiast, people looking to learn the game, or those…read morethat occasionally like to knock the ball around. Its amenities also include a gym with weights and cardio gear, real tennis, racquets, an events hall, great locker room, and to top it off - a fantastic bar (pool table, backgammon, and darts included). This is a traditional club and the atmosphere is exactly that. The locker rooms are dimly lit, include a sitting room, and are furnished with antiques. The bar has plenty of wood panels and antique prints. But don't be fooled -- the members are not stuffy at all. This is a group of fun, easy-going, and welcoming people. Its the best place to work out in town. And perhaps the best place to get a drink.

Totally full of themselves thinking they can charge ridiculous prices for a gym and personal…read moretraining. Wanted to charge me $1260 more than a friend of mine that signed up two months earlier. That is per year! All told they wanted to charge $3780 per year when my friend pays $2520 per year. On top of that they wanted to charge me $8160 for 48 training sessions which is $170/hr. I would have more than likely paid for the trainers because they are known for this, but when they cannot give you a similar rate to what others are paying because they think you have the money is ridiculous. Especially when you are prepared to spend $8160 on just the PT. All told that is $11940 for 16 weeks of PT and one year at the gym. That is a lot of money for anyone to put down. With this amount of money I was able to get two weeks of health spa vacations in La Jolla, CA and I am talking to several independent trainers that have made names for themselves in the area and will get 16 weeks from them. It took me a bit to find out who is who and who the best PT trainers are in the area. Certainly not at Equinox since the trainer they were going to assign me too you cannot find any information about them. So for me I am now spending ... $280 at Planet Fitness for Black Card $4320 for 48 PT session, plus 3 more for free $6400 for two weeks at an all-inclusive health resort in CA $560 for round trip tickets Total all together is $11560 which is $380 less and much more enjoyable than Equinox. Let's check the checklist. 1) Year long gym membership with access to every gym at Planet Fitness has around the world 2) 16 weeks, 3 days a week of PT training with a top trainer 3) 2 weeks at a health spa resort 4) Oh yeah, traveling to California On a related note, I was a member of this gym years ago. They played funny games with me where they allowed people that live more than a certain distance away to get out of their contract with no problems. I was well beyond that distance. Instead, they changed my address to their location at 225 Franklin Street and tried to tell me I was not able to get out of the gym membership because I lived at the same building as the gym. I had to report them to the attorney general to get out of the membership. I would not have gone back if it hadn't been so many years and my business partner and life coach recommended that I go for the PT. Just goes to show that a leopard cannot change their spots. Avoid this gym! There are better gyms out there.

Also, having played for the BSSC in the past, I definitely feel that the Llamas are a sports club first and a social club second. While there are a few social events, they are far and few between the ones the BSSC holds, which I appreciate. I wasn't a huge fan of getting emails every other day on the next big social outing. I've played dodgeball, soccer, basketball, volleyball, and ultimate frisbee with the Llamas. Some of the sports are more competitive than the others, but they are all a lot of fun and very reasonably priced.

I go…read moreoccasionally on Tuesdays for blitz games, and use to go for a month-long Swiss on Thursdays, but now I mostly restrict myself to a Wednesday-night rapid (g/30) quad (or swiss, depending on the turn-out). It is hard to find a chess club where you don't run into one of the fixtures in the chess world -- the narrow-minded eccentric who lives and breathes for the game and spends all night channeling Robert Fischer -- and although BCC is no exception, for the most part you will find yourself facing off against friendly, sociable, and very adept, experienced players. The tournaments are usually well-attended (although recently attendance has been slowing down on my favorite Wednesday night rapid), and another draw is that BCC is home to a bona-fide chess celebrity (whom I have never met personally), Larry Christiansen. All-in-all, chess players of all levels are bound to find satisfaction at the BCC.
