The Bay Club Company (Bay Club) has acquired Griffin Club, the only private social and athletic club in Los Angeles. Terms were not disclosed.
Griffin Club joins Bay Club’s established Los Angeles Campus, which include Manhattan Country Club, El Segundo, Santa Monica, and Redondo Beach.
“With 30-plus current locations and 150,000-plus members, this acquisition marks Bay Club’s third major West Coast investment of the year,” the company said in a media release. “Alongside the recent 425 Fitness and Harbor Square Athletic Club announcements in the Pacific Northwest, the acquisition of Griffin Club marks a strategic milestone as the company continues its thoughtful expansion.”
Founded in 1926 as the Westside Tennis Club, Griffin Club has “evolved from a Hollywood retreat into a modern destination for sports and lifestyle, blending nearly a century of history with a complete $30 million rebuild in 2018,” the company continued.
“Griffin Club’s legacy and location made it an ideal fit for our Los Angeles Campus and broader portfolio,” said Tracy Cioffi, chief marketing officer at The Bay Club Company. “This acquisition reflects our continued investment in fostering community and connection across our clubs. We are committed to creating spaces that bring families, friends and colleagues together, shaping meaningful communities through shared experiences.”
“While we continue expanding into new regions, we remain equally focused on strengthening our foundations and supporting our current campuses,” added Cioffi. “The acquisition of Griffin Club reflects that commitment—bringing its renowned facilities, vibrant community, and third-space ethos into our Los Angeles Campus to further deliver an exceptional active lifestyle experience.”
