The Bay Club

WHAT. A. YEAR!! As we get closer and closer to the end of 2020, we can't help but look back and reflect on everything we have accomplished, together When the clubs had to close during the Spring, you all JUMPED to join us online. Every day on Facebook Live, on the Bay Club Connect App, and even right here on Instagram, we had classes from your favorite teachers so you wouldn't miss a beat even while you were at home. When we slowly started opening back up, our team TRANS...FORMED the Bay Clubs as we knew them! Outdoor spaces were completely converted into your new place for a cardio workout, weightlifting, classes, and more. We could not believe our eyes, seeing all of YOU out there, being safe, respectful, resilient and SO strong Now, our outdoor spaces are still going strong, we have virtual classes for all of our amazing members, we are adding Fitness Pavilions to keep things going through the winter... and so much more. The Bay Club is what it is because of YOU. We are here, all together, committed to being #BayClubFit and #BayClubHappy. All we can say is - THANK YOU, and we hope you're ready for an even better 2021 PC: @krisfit.sf . . . #bayareafit #bayareafitness #bayareafamily #socal #southerncalifornia #californiafit #californiafitness #socalfit #socalfitness

CONGRATS, Bay Club! You have officially made it to the last Monday of 2020 Let’s kick off this last week of the year on a high note. We’re feeling inspired by this knee-to-nose yoga sequence from Bay Club trainer doyogawithbree. This dynamic yoga posture will fire up your core, your leg muscles, stretch and strengthen your spine, your shoulders and more! Pair this move with a deep inhale and exhale to give you a full body energy boost - which we all need when preparing for ...a busy week ahead. What workouts do you have on deck for the week? PC: doyogawithbree

Ready for a Sunday filled with blue skies and sunshine The rooftop at San Francisco is the perfect outdoor space to #LiveLifeHAPPY We have ALL of your favorite cardio and strength equipment safe and ready to go, plus some pretty awesome views of the Bay. You can expect clearly marked space and signs to guide physical distancing, and frequent cleaning and sanitation of all equipment! Also, all associates and members will be masked up... and have temperatures taken pre-entry. Just make a reservation on the Connect app, and come take some time for you Stay safe, Bay Club! #bayclub #bayclubfit #californiafitness

Tight hamstrings? We can help with that SAVE this one to come back to Finding your balance between strength and flexibility is KEY to maintaining an active lifestyle Movement such as cardio, cycling and weightlifting are all amazing for strengthening the hamstrings, but if we don’t include some kind of stretching and/or lengthening in our routine, we could end up feeling super tight! Tight hamstrings can actually cause the hips to rotate back and flatten the low back,... which can lead to discomfort in the back, the knees and even the feet We don’t want that! We want fitness that will last for years and years So, we strengthen... AND we stretch When the hamstrings are both strong AND flexible, our movement is safe and supported. We are more explosive and faster, with better posture and quicker recovery time The next time you work out with us at the Bay Club, don’t forget to add in stretches that lengthen and relieve the hamstrings. This will ensure your active lifestyle is one that will LAST #bayclubhappy #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney

If this isn't a winter season M O O D, we don't know what is Thank you Naturally Zuzu for the inspiration! #bayclubhappy #bayclub

Bay Club! SAVE this one to bring with you when you come and see us No matter what fitness level you are at these will be a killer addition to your workout We tend to see core work added to the end of a workout, but did you know it could help support your body if you tack it on BEFORE too?! Your core muscles are involved in so much movement that we use during cardio, weightlifting, cycling, etc. Warming these up before getting into your workout can ensure that you are g...etting the most out of your movement safely, and effectively Try it next time you come to the Club! Where will we see you doing this core work? PC: PopSugar Fitness

It's the season of gratitude. Morgan started her Bay Club tenure at the reception desk at Financial District. Her work ethic and attention to detail helped her grow into a leadership role very quickly transitioning to where she is today as Club Manager at South San Francisco. We are so thankful and appreciative of the hard work she puts into everything she does. Thank you, Morgan!

Happy weekend, Bay Club! Take some time today or tomorrow to get O U T S I D E and connect with the world around you. Have you heard of the benefits that come with actually connecting your body with the earth?! It's science! The Earth has surface electrons that are said to transfer to the body when we connect with it through bare feet or hands. Research has shown that this practice can be helpful in reducing inflammation in the body, s...timulating blood flow, improving sleep, our moods, and more! And you can FEEL the difference. So, step outside. Get your feet in the sand, the grass or the dirt. Take a deep breath. You'll be feeling that #BayClubHappy in no time! #getoutside #outdoorfitness #bayclubfit

Let’s talk about the hips, and how important it is to keep them HEALTHY and MOBILE! The hips are home to the biggest joints and some of the biggest muscles in the body. Think of how your pelvis supports you during ALL your workouts, whether you are doing cardio, lifting... anything! Even as we walk and sit every day, the hips really let it all happen. That means that it’s easy for the hips to accrue a lot of physical tension. When this... happens, we can feel it in other places like the low back, the hamstrings and even the knees! So, what do we do to ensure healthy hips, and therefore healthy movement, and just a healthy life? Here are some of our favorite, easy ways to work on Hip Mobility every day! DYNAMIC STRETCHING to keep the muscles active and warm while working on flexibility! We love side to side lateral lunges, standing hip circles and leg swings. YOGA postures, at any moment! Try a Goddess Pose while you wait for laundry to finish up, Garland Pose while watching TV, and Warrior II during a conference call (so long as you stay focused! ) Show your hips some love and they will show it right back! Drop a in the comments if you’re with us. #bayclubhappy #bayclub #bayclubfit

Did you see last week’s post with Immunity Boosting foods?! We are adding on even more info today because really, immunity depends on how you L I V E your LIFE! Let’s get into it EXERCISE allows immune cells to perform effectively it increases blood flow, reduces stress and inflammation, and can strengthen antibodies.... During SLEEP, your immune system releases proteins called cytokines, some of which help promote sleep. Certain cytokines need to increase when you have an infection or inflammation, or when you're under stress. A HEALTHY DIET can help increase production of virus-fighting T-cells and can reduce the amount of stress hormones your body produces. When we are STRESSED, the immune system's ability to fight off infection is reduced. The stress hormone corticosteroid can suppress the effectiveness of the immune system by lowering the number of lymphocytes. So do what feels good! Be mindful, present and grateful and say goodbye to stress #immunity #immunitybooster #healthylifestyle #bayclubfit See more
