Built as the Scottish Rite Temple in 1924-5, this distinguished structure was designed by architect Carl Werner. The entry portico, with its six iconic columns and unusual Egyptian ornamentation, lends the building a special grandeur. In 1981, the building was rehabilitated and reopened as the San Jose Athletic Club.

The club rovides the true athletic club experience. From cardio training to racquetball, aerobics to swimming, the Athletic Club offers the premier fitness training staff, athletic facilities and equipment available in Silicon Valley. In addition to highly qualified fitness staff, members can have the option of working with a personal trainer on an ongoing basis.

The Club offers a wide variety of cardiovascular and strength training equipment, aerobic classes, six racquetball / handball courts, and a full basketball court. Members can utilize a sparkling five-lane heated pool, Reebok cycling studio, locker areas, private conference rooms and an elegantly appointed lounge.
