A new club partnership: Ballard Health Club
It’s been a goal since our inception to not only help our members get good deals on hobby supplies, but to also form partnerships that might promote mental and physical health.
A number of folks at Waystone are already active in the Discord’s #fitness channel, but the world of fitness can often feel closed off if you didn’t grow up with it or don’t have someone close to guide you.
This is what Ivana Petro (operations manager and personal trainer at Ballard Health Club) and I discussed yesterday. She moved to Seattle from Texas a couple years ago, and actually stopped into Waystone shortly after we first opened. She shared how the difficulty of getting into a game like Warhammer when you’re both new to town (and the hobby itself), can mirror the experience of stepping into a gym for the first time.
That being said, BHC, like Waystone, is striving to truly live up to the spirit of a club—a place where folks with an affinity for something can not only connect over their shared passion, but also make it more approachable by supporting those who are just beginning to dip their toes.
I couldn’t be gladder that we were able to (re)connect with Ivana and work out this partnership.
Here’s the scoop:
Current Waystone members will receive $10 per month off a membership at Ballard Health Club, including both the Basic membership and the all-hours Plus membership even if you’re already a member at BHC—essentially a 20% discount off the basic plan.

Unlimited Gym Access during desk hours
Annual Personal Training Session - $25
Silver Sneakers Classes
Friendly Fridays ($0 for Guest)

Note: There is normally a $35 signup fee, but this is waived until the end of July* if you bring 5 food or hygiene items in support of the Ballard Food Bank. This previously was stated to be ending in August, but it has since been shortened by BHC.
How to take advantage of this partnership:
Be a current Waystone member.
Create a MyBHC account at BallardHealthClub.com
Message Dustin via Servo-Skull on the Discord, or by email.
We’ll get back to you with a confirmation about your discounted gym membership!
We’re always looking out for partnership opportunities. They’re not sponsored in any way, and the club doesn’t receive any kickback. They’re just a way to add a cherry on top of being a member here and support other organizations doing good work.
If you have ideas for other organizations for our club to team up with, never be afraid to reach out.
Best,
Dustin
