The Claremont Club

What The Claremont Club does

The Claremont Club is a privately held, single-campus health, fitness, racquet, and aquatics club operating at 1777 Monte Vista Avenue in Claremont, California since 1973. It serves local Claremont-area residents and families through a membership model positioned as "the Local's Resort," bundling racquets (27 tennis courts and 8 pickleball courts with CVA Online live court cameras), aquatics (a 50m x 25-yard Olympic pool with sixteen 25-yard and eight 50-meter lanes plus a separate family pool), fitness (a dedicated weight and cardio gym, cycle studio, private Pilates studio, GroupX classes, personal training, nutrition consultations), children's programming (Kids Court / Inzone, Day Camp, BIG FUN Night Out, Summer Camp), a semester-based Homeschool Enrichment Club (Grades TK–8), the Ambiance Salon & Spa, and the Stonehouse private-event venue. Membership pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospects are routed through a Membership Interest Form to the Club Automation member portal. The operating technology stack is industry-standard rather than proprietary — Club Automation for member management, Mailchimp for email marketing, Google Analytics for web traffic, CVA Online for court-camera viewing, and Cogran for swim school registration — with no AI/ML features disclosed.

The business generates revenue from five distinct streams: recurring monthly membership dues (undisclosed pricing), subscription-based swim team fees (Junior/Senior $90/month, Masters $40/month, plus USA Swimming and booster fees), usage-based lessons and clinics across tennis, pickleball, swimming, Pilates and personal training, unit-priced childcare and camp programs (PlayWorks/SteamWorks $45/4 hours, Day Camp $90 members/$110 guests per 7 hours, BIG FUN Night Out $45/$65 per 4 hours, Homeschool Enrichment Club $1,295-$2,360 per semester), and professional-services revenue from the on-site Ambiance Salon & Spa, supplemented by event sponsorship tiers and ticketed community events. The club operates a signature community program, the Living Well After Cancer (LWAC) program, founded in 2005 and offered free of charge to cancer survivors; the program is funded via donations channeled through Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center and has expanded from a women's to include a men's cohort, celebrating its 20th anniversary on the website.

Distribution is direct-to-consumer and entirely on-site at the single Claremont campus, with marketing driven by a community-event calendar (Tacos & Tunes, BIG FUN Night Out, Summer Kick-Off Party, Pilates & Prosecco, LWAC events), organic social (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest), Mailchimp email campaigns, and PR-driven sponsorships such as the 50th Anniversary "Good As Gold" Celebration held in October 2023 in partnership with the Be Perfect Foundation. A network of 13 California charter schools (Blue Ridge Academy, Compass, Excel Academy, Gorman Learning Center, Granite Mountain, iLEAD, Mission Vista, Sage Oak, Springs, Heartland, Elite Academic Academy, IEM Sky Mountain, Innovations Learning) routes public purchase-order funding into the Homeschool Enrichment Club, creating a non-membership revenue channel. Legal entity is The Claremont Club LLC, a California LLC with no parent company, institutional investor, or external owner disclosed in the source material.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Life Time: Life Time is a publicly traded, multi-amenity premium athletic club operator offering fitness, racquets, aquatics, family/childcare programming, spa, and events across the U.S. Its bundled "resort-style" member experience — including tennis, swim, group fitness and kids' programming — is the closest scaled analog to TCC's integrated offering.
• Bay Club: Bay Club is a California-based private multi-amenity club operator offering fitness, tennis, swimming, family programming and social events across multiple SoCal and NorCal campuses. It is one of the most directly comparable California multi-club models to TCC's racquets/aquatics/family positioning.
• Equinox: Equinox operates premium urban fitness clubs with high-end design, group fitness, personal training, Pilates and spa services. Its premium positioning and Pilates studio focus closely mirror TCC's higher-end member experience, though it carries less racquets and aquatics depth.

Broad incumbents

• In-Shape Health Clubs: In-Shape is a long-established California fitness chain offering gym, swim, group fitness and family programming across multiple locations. As a broader California incumbent, it competes for many of the same households TCC serves but at a lower price point and without TCC's racquets depth.
• LA Fitness: LA Fitness is a national big-box gym chain offering fitness, group classes, swim and racquetball at value price points. It competes with TCC for price-sensitive fitness members across Southern California, including in the Inland Empire.
• 24 Hour Fitness: 24 Hour Fitness is a national big-box fitness chain with broad amenity coverage (cardio, weights, group classes, pools). Its scale, low price point and convenient hours make it a broad incumbent alternative to TCC's premium private-club offering.
• Crunch Fitness: Crunch is a national value-premium fitness franchise offering group fitness, HIIT, and specialty programming. Its competitive pricing and expanding California footprint create an alternative for fitness-only members who might otherwise consider TCC's gym floor.

Emerging players

• Club Pilates: Club Pilates is a rapidly growing boutique Pilates franchise offering affordable reformer-based group Pilates classes. It directly competes with TCC's private Pilates studio offering on convenience and price, especially for members whose primary interest is Pilates.
• Orangetheory Fitness: Orangetheory is a leading boutique fitness franchise offering heart-rate-based group HIIT workouts. It competes with TCC's GroupX and personal training offerings for time-pressed fitness members who prefer short, structured sessions.

Regional players

• YMCA (Inland Empire / Greater Pomona Valley): The local YMCA branches serve overlapping family, swim, fitness and youth programming needs in the same Claremont/Pomona Valley trade area. As a non-profit value option, the YMCA competes for price-sensitive families and youth aquatics customers that TCC otherwise targets.
