PRO CLUB BELLEVUE IS NOW 
BAY CLUB BELLEVUE

The club Bellevue has known since 1973 has a new name. The people, programs and community members count on are carrying forward.

Last Updated: November 9, 2026

PRO Club Bellevue is now officially Bay Club Bellevue. The name change, which became official in September 2026, unifies three of the region's established athletic clubs under a single name, including PRO Club Seattle, now Bay Club Seattle, and Harbor Square Athletic Club in Edmonds, now Bay Club Harbor Square. Located in the heart of the Bellevue-Redmond corridor, just minutes from Microsoft’s headquarters, Bay Club Bellevue serves communities across Seattle’s Eastside. For members, the day-to-day stays familiar: the same address, the same team, the same courts, pools and programming. What's new is the name on the door and a clearer connection to the broader Bay Club community of more than 35 clubs from Seattle to San Diego. The Transition: A New Name for a Club That's Been Bay Club for Years Bay Club acquired PRO Club in December 2023, marking The Bay Club Company's entry into Washington State. Rather than changing the name right away, Bay Club spent the following years getting to know what makes PRO Club distinct, honoring the history its founders built and investing in the club's future. Becoming Bay Club Bellevue connects members to one community across the West Coast, with Bay Club Bellevue serving as a flagship club in the Greater Seattle region. "We didn't rush this," said Tracy Cioffi, CMO and Head of Executive Operations at the Bay Club. "Over the past several years, we've worked to understand what makes PRO Club and Harbor Square special before bringing them fully into the Bay Club. This rebrand is about connecting our members to one community across the West Coast, without losing what made these clubs home in the first place." Bay Club Bellevue is one of 12 Bay Club clubs in Greater Seattle, all of which will carry the Bay Club name as the transition continues over the coming year. The Legacy: More Than 50 Years in Bellevue The club's story begins in 1973, when it opened as the SuperSonics Racquet and Health Club, one of eight indoor tennis clubs then affiliated with the Seattle SuperSonics. That same year, Dick Knight, a University of Washington tennis standout and Wimbledon competitor, and Dr. Mark Dedomenico, a cardiovascular surgeon and pioneer of coronary bypass surgery, acquired the club and built it into PRO Sports Club. Over the decades that followed, PRO Club grew into one of the largest health and wellness destinations in the country, with 26 sports courts, four indoor pools, group fitness studios and a full-service spa and medical center. The club has hosted exhibition matches with tennis champions including Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert, Michael Chang and Tracy Austin, along with three World Squash Tournaments. Dick Knight, PRO Club's longtime president, has remained an invaluable partner since the acquisition, and Bay Club continues to draw on his deep relationships and institutional knowledge as a strategic advisor to the Greater Seattle clubs. "A club is only as strong as the people in it," said Dick Knight, longtime president of PRO Club. "That's been true since 1973, and three years into being part of Bay Club, I can say the people here are still what matters most." What the Transition Means for Members The name is changing. The club members know is not. Same club, same team. Bay Club Bellevue is the same location, with the same staff, coaches, instructors and programming members already know. Investment already underway. Since taking ownership, Bay Club has added a complimentary Recovery Center, updated fitness facilities, new pickleball courts at Bellevue, and complimentary coffee across all of the Seattle club locations. One connected community. As Bay Club Bellevue, the club is part of The Bay Club Company, a sports, outdoor recreation, and active lifestyle company with more than 35 clubs from Seattle to San Diego.
