General Management

Jim Gerber, General Manager

Jim began his career with Western Athletic Clubs in 2001, as part of the opening management team of the new Pacific Athletic Club San Diego. After helping open that Club, he came up to the Bay Area in 2002 to help open Bay Club Marin as the Director of Member Services. In 2005, he traveled down to Pacific Athletic Club in Redwood Shores as the Operations Director. But the call of Bay Club Marin was to great, and Jim returned to Bay Club Marin as General Manager in March 2009 and is pleased to be back with the great members and employees that make up the Club. Jim believes that the backbone of a successful club is great customer service. From the minute a member or guest walks into the Club, you should feel welcomed and comfortable. He firmly believes that just as much as we are in the fitness business, we are also in the hospitality and service business. And by constantly striving to solicit members feedback on how the Club can improve, you create a winning combination of top notch service with cutting edge programming. In his spare time, Jim enjoys spending time with his wife and 2 young boys, with a little golf thrown in from time to time. Jim holds a B.A. in Business Administration from the University of San Diego. Please feel free to contact Jim at any time with questions or comments. He can be reached at 415.945.3016
