Bellingham Athletic Club

February Vibe

Courtesy Corner

As our club gets busier, a few small courtesies go a long way in keeping BAC welcoming for everyone. Please remember to return disinfectant bottles to the Front Desk after use so they’re easy to refill and ready for the next member. As always please return all equipment to where you found it. We also ask that you be mindful of shared spaces and extend a little extra patience and kindness to newer members who may still be learning the flow of the club. A smile, a friendly hello, or offering to share equipment helps maintain the positive, inclusive atmosphere that makes BAC such a special place.

Member Spotlight: Maryanna Farrell

Maryanna Farrell has been a part of the Bellingham Athletic Club since 1994! She is 91 years young and going strong. Maryanna is in the club 5 to 6 days a week participating in our group fitness classes and often takes 2 classes in a row on Fridays! She goes to Zumba, HIIT, TBC, Dance Jam, and Power Pump.

We share life, look out for each other, and even get together outside of the gym for luncheons. Maryanna is a big part of the BAC family, and we are inspired to workout alongside her! We all aspire to be like her well into our 90s!

Personal Training

We live in an age of unlimited access to information on health and fitness from a variety of sources. The challenge comes from trying to navigate through the volume of information we have access to and then having to sort out what is based on facts and what is not. Fortunately, we have a group of professionals here at BAC in our Personal Training department who can assist you in sorting out fact from fiction and provide you with sound strategies to meet and exceed your needs and goals.
