“I think everyone’s mental, physical and social livelihood depends on this place,” Ayala said. “I was devastated when I first heard about the Bay Club closing.” “It was the combination of affordability, convenience, and quality that this gym great,” Wattson said. Wattson has been lifting at the Bay Club five times a week for two years as a way to complement his sport, water polo. “It was my main outlet for exercising and socializing on weekdays,” senior Tristan Wattson said.

Whether it be through zumba or exercise bike classes, the older community that forms around exercise at the Rolling Hills location will not be easily relocated. Rolling Hills has the highest median age (46) out of any town in Los Angeles. “Unfortunately, the first people that came to mind were the elderly,” Ayala said. However, older Bay Club members can’t find a new place as easily as high-schoolers. Other options for members include a 24 Hour Fitness, Complete Women Fitness, Orange Theory, Core, South Bay Strength Company and Powerhouse Gym. The most popular destination for leaving members has been Equinox, a private gym located just down the street from the Bay Club. With no gyms taking over the open location, current members will have to look elsewhere for their exercise. “So, as far as I know, there is nothing coming in right now.”
“They weren’t able to market the space,” Ayala said. These three locations are where the current Rolling Hills Bay Club staff are being transferred to.īecause the closure news happened suddenly and without little notice, the Bay Club’s shut-down leaves many wondering if another gym will take over the current location. The recently renovated Santa Monica property is in the same process of looking to buy the property as the Rolling Hills location. The El Segundo and Redondo buildings were all bought and owned by the company. The CEO wanted to completely “do away with the leasing,” as evidenced by his treatment of the other Bay Club locations. The exact reason for the shutdown is unknown, however, Ayala theorizes that “the CEO of the Bay Club did not like the new lease terms that the property management owner offered, so he basically said ‘forget it, we’re not going to renew it.’” “I was shocked, heartbroken,” Bay Club manager Nina Ayala said after first hearing about the closure. The Rolling Hills location was one of 24 Bay Club gyms open throughout Southern California.
