How Pods Work

Why a Bay Club pod.

A brief primer on how Bay Club membership pods work — and why joining one saves you $1,200+ per year over signing up directly.

How Pods Work

The pod model, explained.

If you'd like to join the Bay Club, there are two options: you can sign up directly through Bay Club for $350/month plus an initiation fee of up to $1,000 depending on the time of year, or you can join an existing membership pod.

Each pod host can add up to 9 additional members to their membership. Bay Club bills the pod host directly each month, and the pod host is responsible for managing payments from all members within the pod.

The monthly pod rate is determined by the pod host and is intended to help cover the associated membership expenses.

Pickleball access · a quick note

Pickleball courts are included with your pod membership — you can play any time courts are open. Court reservations require a Club West Gold membership, so during regular hours a Club West Gold member with a reservation gets priority use.

During scheduled open play sessions, reservations don't apply — anyone with pod membership can play and courts are shared communally.

Common Questions

Frequently asked.

How do I join the pod?
You have three options: sign up online (send payment via PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle, then submit your info), sign up in person at Bay Club (David meets you at the Carmel Valley front desk and completes signup on-site with Member Services), or sign up on a joint call with Bay Club (David loops in Bay Club Member Services so you can verify everything before paying). All three end the same way — you're an active pod member within 24 hours.
What does my first payment include?
Your first payment includes a $100 initiation fee (charged by Bay Club, not David), the prorated remainder of the current month, your first full month at your tier's rate, and a prepaid final month at the same rate. The prepaid final month covers Bay Club's one-month cancellation notice — so your exit is already funded when you eventually decide to leave. Annual members pay initiation + prorated + 12 months upfront at the discounted annual rate.
Will my rate change based on how many people are in the pod?
No. Your rate is a flat monthly amount set by your age tier — it doesn't rise or fall with how many people are in the pod at any given time. Whether the pod is nearly full or has open spots, you pay the same predictable rate, so you always know exactly what to expect.
Why the cancellation notice?
This is Bay Club's policy, not David's. When you cancel, Bay Club charges David for one full calendar month after notice is given — so your final active month is the calendar month after the one you notify in. In practice: if you want your last day to be October 31, just let David know any day in September. The prepaid final month from your first payment already covers that final month, so David isn't out-of-pocket and you owe nothing extra when you leave.
How do I pay?
Payments go directly to David via PayPal (dbittorf), Venmo (@Dave-Bittorf), or Zelle (619-200-1126) — whichever's easiest for you. If you'd rather handle the first payment in person, David is happy to meet you at Bay Club so you can pay there.
How do I verify David is a legitimate pod host?
Call Bay Club Carmel Valley directly at 858-509-9933 and ask for David Bittorf as a pod host. Bay Club Member Services will confirm his status. Or use the joint-call or in-person signup path — both put you in direct contact with Bay Club Member Services before any payment changes hands.
What Bay Club locations are included?
The pod gives you membership access at Bay Club San Diego and Los Angeles Campus locations, plus core amenities at each: aquatics, basketball, pickleball, recovery centers, group fitness, mind-body programs, family programming, and social events. Golf is not included (see Club West Gold upgrade above).
Can I reserve a pickleball court?
Pickleball courts are included with your pod membership — you can play any time courts are open. Court reservations require a Club West Gold membership, so during regular hours a Club West Gold member with a reservation gets priority use. However, during scheduled open play sessions, reservations don't apply — anyone with pod membership can play and courts are shared communally. Check the Bay Club Carmel Valley schedule for open play times.
Do I pay Bay Club directly?
No — that's the benefit of the pod. You pay David monthly at your tier's rate, and David handles the membership relationship with Bay Club on the back end. Bay Club charges David directly for the pod each month.
