About East Bank Club

From day one, our mission has been to help our members live well, and we strive to meet that goal everyday.

To help our members live well, we adhere to our core values of service, quality and integrity. Those core values are clear in everything we do, from our training sessions to our classes; from our restaurants to our pools; and with every interaction we have with our members.

Our core values are reinforced by our service standards of excellence, professionalism, empowerment and presentation. We hope all our members see those standards in action everytime they visit the Club.

When the Club opened in 1980, fitness as we now know it was still nascent. At that time, the Club had 20 tennis courts, with courts covering nearly the entire roof and the first level through the current Cardiovascular Room and up to the Reservation Desk.

Our first major renovations were in 1986 and 1987. We enclosed the outdoor tennis courts and constructed the Golf Center and Gymnasium. We then converted the original Gym into the current Free Weight Room, and the original Golf Center into the current First Level Pool. We also built the Children’s Activity Center and expanded the Grill, and we expanded both locker rooms to more than three times their original size.

In 1994 and 1995, we undertook additional major renovations. We doubled the size of the Cardiovascular Room to 14,000 square feet (still shy of its current 20,000 square feet); we built the Food Shop; we added the Cycling Studio; we added a second basketball court in the Gym; and we built the North Outdoor Pool and the tiered Sun Deck seating.

In 2002, we expanded the Cardiovascular Room to its current size, and redesigned it with the stadium-style view of the current room. In 2004, we added our dedicated Pilates Studio, and in 2013, we built the Performance Center.

In late 2018, we will begin a multi-phase project to expand and renovate our fitness spaces and key Club facilities.

The goal of the project is to update our fitness areas; expand spaces that have gained in popularity; relocate small-group classes out of the Performance Center to a dedicated space; offer a more diverse selection of group exercise, cycling and small-group classes; and continue to provide state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. We expect the full scope of the project will take approximately three years. We will work throughout this period to minimize the impact on members’ use of the Club.

The project will include the following:

• Renovate Tennis Court 1 (directly behind the Cardiovascular Room) into an expanded Free Weight Room with space for more free weight equipment as well as a selection of cable equipment

• Renovate the current Free Weight Room into a studio for small-group, high-intensity training classes and other specialty programs and events

• Build a new, larger, world-class, theater-style Cycle Studio with top-line bikes, the latest audio and visual technology, and instructor tools that will make the class experience even more dynamic

• Remodel and expand the Pilates and GYROTONIC® Studio

• Remodel and expand the Salon and Children’s Activity Center

• Remodel the front lobby and main staircase, and extend that staircase to the fourth level and Sun Deck
