The Ballard Health Club (BHC) has a new owner—local Ballardite Kyle Hyde has purchased the central Ballard gym at 2208 NW Market St.
Kyle Hyde—a longtime Ballard resident—purchased the club from current owner and manager Pat Gilbrough. Gilbrough took over the club from Lowen Clausen and his daughter Sonya Senstra.
Clausen and Senstra opened BHC in 1998—the club used to be home to the Ballard Backstage nightclub through the 80s and 90s.
Gilbrough has been at the helm since 2014, and will serve as general manager for the next year to help with the transition of ownership.
Hyde started working at BHC in December 2023 as the fitness director.
Gilbrough said: “I am looking forward to working with Kyle and the rest of our staff to continue the success of Ballard Health Club. Being the owner and general manager of BHC these past 11 years has been a very rewarding time of my life and I look forward to starting Kyle on that same wonderful experience.”
