Santa Monica Squash Court Day Pass at TRIFIT Club on Colorado Avenue

A $39 day pass at TRIFIT LA buys full access to the club at 2425 Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica, and the club lists squash court access, the indoor pool and three hours of free parking as part of that pass. Most squash courts on the Westside sit behind private-club or members-only gym doors, so for anyone searching squash court near me between Santa Monica and Culver City, this independent club is the cleanest pay-per-visit option.

TRIFIT has served Santa Monica since 2005 and describes itself as the city's largest independent, family-owned health club. Co-owners Gina and Bernard Baski run it. Gina, a former gymnast and competitive swimmer who has raced Ironman triathlons, is the managing partner and sits on the board of the California Fitness Alliance; Bernard spent fifteen years in amateur and professional hockey training in Canada before moving into endurance coaching.

That endurance background shapes the club, which is as much a triathlon hub as a squash venue. It co-hosts a free Friday 6:30am ocean swim with the LA Tri Club at Lifeguard Tower 26, a summer program that resumes in May 2027, and its members have voted it Most Loved Gym in several years, most recently 2026.

The membership page lists the day pass at $39 per visit with full access to all club facilities, indoor pool access, squash court access and free three-hour parking. On the visit inquiry form, the same product appears as a 1-Day Guest Pass for $39. Guests register at the front desk with photo ID and sign a liability release before heading to the weight deck or the courts.

The facilities beyond the courts are what make the price fair: a 25-yard, three-lane temperature-controlled lap pool, a cold plunge, locker rooms with showers, a cycling studio, a boxing studio and TRX training. A squash player who plays an hour, swims a few laps and finishes in the cold plunge has used more of the pass than most gym visitors.

Court reservations at TRIFIT are made through the MyiClub membership portal, and squash courts can be booked up to seven days in advance; pool lanes work the same way. The club does not publish a separate visitor booking channel.

The honest caution: if you show up on a weekday evening without a plan, you may find the courts taken by members who booked a week ahead. Mid-morning on weekdays and weekend afternoons are the safest windows for a day-pass visit. Bring a partner, because the day pass covers your own access, not a hitting partner.

The club runs weekly open-play squash round robins, listed among its benefits alongside the courts themselves, which it describes as professional grade. Round robins are the best way for a newcomer to find regular partners at the right level, and they show you where the local squash community gathers on the Westside.

The pricing sheet hints at who you will share the club with: a separate Tenant and Corporation membership exists for people who work on the Colorado Center campus, the club offers triathlon coaching and group swim workouts, and its free ocean swims are open to the public as well as members.

Community membership costs $189 a month on a month-to-month contract with a 60-day minimum commitment, plus a $99 initiation fee and a $39 amenities fee due every six months. It includes unlimited classes and three hours of free daily parking, with a one-time $29 electronic parking badge. Colorado Center tenants and select corporate groups pay $179 a month.

Our math: a member who would otherwise buy more than four day passes a month comes out ahead, but the 60-day minimum and the initiation fee make membership a poor fit for a visitor in town for a week. Stick to day passes until you know you will play every week.

A day pass is easiest to enjoy with a plan. Park in the Colorado Center garage and validate at the desk, book your court for early afternoon, then use the remaining time on the 25-yard pool or a drop-in class from the calendar. The three free parking hours set the clock, so a game, a swim and a shower fit comfortably inside that window.

Pair the pass with a friend who is a member if you can. Members reserve courts a week ahead through the portal, which takes the uncertainty out of a visit, while you pay only the $39 for your own access.

The club also rents its West Court for tennis at $5 per hour for open play only; coaching is not permitted on that court, and tennis reservations open three days in advance. Group classes are mostly open drop-in, though select classes have capacity limits and hand out tickets at the front desk 30 minutes before start time.

Hours are Monday through Thursday from 6am to 9pm, Friday from 6am to 8pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 7:30am to 6pm. That Friday close is earlier than many Westside gyms, so a late Friday game is not on the table.

The club sits on the Colorado Center campus close to the Metro E Line's 26th Street/Bergamot station, which connects downtown Santa Monica with Culver City and downtown Los Angeles. Bergamot Station Arts Center, a former trolley stop turned cluster of contemporary galleries, sits a short walk away at 2525 Michigan Avenue and makes an easy post-game detour.

If TRIFIT has no court free, LA County's other public option is the Arroyo Seco Racquet Club in South Pasadena, which describes itself as open to the public and hosts the LA Squash Academy's clinics and lessons. It is a long drive east, so plan it as a dedicated trip.

Address: 2425 Colorado Avenue, Suite B100, Santa Monica, CA 90404. Hours: Monday to Thursday 6am to 9pm, Friday 6am to 8pm, weekends 7:30am to 6pm. Day pass: $39 per visit. Parking: Colorado Center garage, entrance on the south side of the campus off Colorado Avenue near Cloverfield Boulevard (2401 Colorado); day-pass visitors get their ticket validated at the front desk for three free hours.
