In 1948 John Bazacas started in the physical fitness industry, in Los Angeles, California. In 1961 he moved to Newport Beach and in 1971 he opened the Newport Beach Athletic Club. Forty Years later the NBAC is still family owned and operated by the Bazacas and the Burnham families. Over the years the NBAC has gone through several renovations always keeping in step with the fitness industry and most importantly providing outstanding service in a clean and healthy family environment.

In 2009 the OC Weekly chose the NBAC as the most outstanding gym in Orange County. OC Weekly wrote, With a plethora of gyms to choose from in OC, Newport Beach Athletic Club (NBAC) stands out because of its high-class amenities, reasonable prices, laid-back atmosphere and unique traditions developed since its 1971 opening. Unlike many other gyms, NBAC won't lock you into long-term memberships they only do month to month. Everything is clean, simple, no-nonsense, utilitarian yet classy. The gym features separate training facilities designed specifically for men and women. All the amenities don't take away from the fact that getting in shape and staying that way are still the club's biggest focus: This is a gym, people, not a day spa. Please take the time to explore our website and come in for a free day pass and tryout the NBAC.
