Great place, awesome staff! They catered to my every need and listned to me to deliver the best plan...

Super friendly staff and has squash and racquetball

Great gym. Friendly staff and members, small business/boutique gym feel. Clean. All the equipment you need no matter how you like to work out. I personal enjoy Olympic lifting and circuit training and they have bumper plates, kettle bells, etc. Never too crowded either, which is a huge plus in this populous area.

Best gym anywhere!!!

Amazing gym. A bit expensive but worth every penny. The staff is cool and the gym is clean and organized. The equipment is modern and kept in amazing condition.

Tom, the club, and all the staff are incredible. Very accommodating, very friendly, very helpful. I highly recommend this club for great weight workouts, racketball, basketball, and much more. Nice locker rooms and bathrooms, Jacuzzis, hot and cold, they got it all. You the man TOM. Thank you!!

This gym is inviting, relaxed, and sorta old-school in the best way. Its amenities are great, and the cafe is tasty. Would recommend to anyone looking for a go-to gym with no nonsense.

The Newport Beach Athletic Club was a surreal experience for me. This gym is more likely to cater to those who have an affinity for the old school workouts as opposed to people who are drawn by the trends. The gyms are separated by gender, so women will work out with women while men will work out with men.For the mens gym, the roof has its own track, the second floor has an extensive variety of weight-lifting equipment (along with cardio equipment), and the ground floor has sports courts for racquetball and basketball. What is arguably the draw here for me is their spa circuit - This is the only place that I’ve seen with a eucalyptus room, their cold pool is sub 60 degrees Fahrenheit, their jets vary by power with placement, and the steam room gives you a workout. As the spa is entirely located in the men’s locker room, it is clothing optional. They also offer towels and shower shoesMy only gripe is the limited hours - This is not a place for those who want a late night workout and the gym is only open 10-4 on Sundays. If that’s not a big deal to you, then you can get a day or week pass instead of a monthly membership, but the membership pays for itself after 8 or 9 visits. It’s not my full-time spot, but I do go there for my spa circuit when the need arises.

2 coaches from Czech Republic came to US for a month to do their hockey stuff and got a nice place to stay in town, so we look around for some real gym and found this place, old school good looking gym with good people around and a very nice stuff for the first 3 weeks, than the other day we had a good work out and decide to go play table tennis to have some fun on the end. The gym was free, so we pult out the table to play, before we got everything set up, some random young men came to us to and told us take the table to a different spot, than is the gym area for that, because he wants to play basketball with his friend, we answered that, we will put it on the side of the gym, so he has all court to play, he answered us that he is a son of the owner and we need to leave the place right now and start being very agressive to us and start asking us who are we and some other dissapointing senteces what we didnt even understand, young boy worker was just walking around and didnt understand this situation either, but after that we went to the lock room right away, he came to us and was very sorry about the situation, what the son of the owner made. (thats how he introduce his self) Hopefully the son of the owner will one day realize, that it wasn’t right talk to the customers like that and that he makes them very uncomfortable, because this gym is build on the great way and would be sad, if one day will not continue in this way anymore.

Since 1971 the Newport Beach Athletic Club has kept celebrities educators, and elite members of Newport society healthy in a clean, modern facility (offering month to month) contracts for men/women.Customer service by Tom and Dorothy and the legacy of the dynamic team of Tom and John aka Mr. B have merited write ups in the OC Register. Wonderful, clean and modern aesthetics here.After dining with Tom and Dorothy I came to know why people---despite many gyms/clubs in Newport---frequented NBAC, its simple, honest and *individualized care by Tom, Dorothy and John.*Customer is family and attended for 11 years.

Toms a great guy! The people here are friendly and welcoming. The Gym is amazing, definately worth a try.

I love NBAC. I like the separate womens workout room with shower, sauna and all amenities if needed. My favorite activity at NBAC is the Newport Table Tennis Club. The coaching is excellent and table tennis is a very fun sport for all ages.

Went to the cafe that is located in the gym. Good food.

Love this gym! Great owners and friendly staff!

This Gym is one of the best places, owners with a great commitment to help! Members are very friendly, its not just workout you have a lot of activities to do. Get a haircut with Charles youll be not disappointed, eat on NBAC Café very healthy food. The Zumba Classes on Saturdays are awesome!

Hands down the best! John Bazacas founded Newport Beach Athletic Club (NBAC) in 1971, and in all the intervening years, few, if any, of his competitors have survived the glut of shoddy imitators. Today, John is joined in running the gym by his son Tom, both of whom are on site constantly to ensure everything operates as it should. I was first a member in the late 80s when I had an office a stones throw away. For a number of years, after relocating my office, I worked out at another now-closed gym, but returned to find NBAC it better than ever.Conveniently located in Newport Center, NBAC has easy access, convenient parking, and long hours that should satisfy the demands of those who like to work out before, during, and/or after work. The Café serves excellent and healthy fare, and now offers a wide selection of beers and wines. NBAC prides itself on its high standards for cleanliness, and available access to top-notch equipment without the lines that plague its low-cost imitators. There is even a separate section set aside for womens exclusive use, although the workout areas are generally available to men and women alike, if preferred.There are many reasons to join NBAC, but the one that stands out the most in my experience after almost 30 years is the camaraderie among the members, and the friendly kidding and banter that define the morning atmosphere. Great owners + great members = a winning combination.
