Time To Be Fit is an excellent core training/Pilates/yoga studio that opened a few months ago. It's…read moretucked away behind the Peets at 37 & J, you can smell the coffee sometimes as it wafts through the workout rooms. There are some combined cycle/floor mat classes, Yoga, stretching, and my favorite - the core circuit workout. These classes are limited to eight participants and you get lots of personal attention. It usually starts out with cycling to get the heart rate up, then a combination of strength training and cardio in various stations among the two main rooms of the studio. For instance one session might go - cycling, Bosu plank pushups, bicep curls, cycling, leg lunges, triceps, cycling, chest presses, ball sit-ups and so on. You can get class cards for most of the instruction, but the core circuit requires a month sign-up and is priced separately from the others. Of course all the workout equipment is brand new - lots of spin cycles, arm and leg machines, free weights, foam rollers and the first-class Pilates room. I have to say I'm not a Pilates person. Those machines remind me of medieval torture devices - all those straps and wires and pulleys - ugh. But I'm sure owner Robyn and trainer Jill are extraordinarily competent in what they do, and I've been very happy with my own non-Pilates experience. TTBF's decor is modern, stylish and soothing in greens and earth tones with mixed textures and materials, it's got a green vibe. There are three attractive rooms joined by a long, photo-lined corridor, plus a reception area with drinks etc. for sale, and a serene, very private outdoor patio replete with chaise lounges, plants and a fountain. One nice touch is that there are no paper towels in the restrooms - just baskets full of freshly-laundered, white terrycloth hand towels. The clientele seems to be mostly women; the place has a friendly, non-threatening atmosphere, more emphasis on the positive than pushiness or browbeating if that makes sense. I'm always sweating when I leave, a good sign. I've been going here for a couple of months and have noticed an improvement in my overall fitness and strength. Robyn, one of the owners, is a former ballet dancer and gave me tips on what I need to work on to improve my passion - salsa dancing (core, core, core). And when I know I'm going to be out late dancing, trainer Jill lets me go easy on my legs. Now how unusual is that? The only thing I wish they'd do is have a combined class card for the core circuit AND the regular fitness classes, but that's a relatively small thing for the level of training you get.

I started at Time To Be Fit [TTBF] in early October with my personal trainer, Shenan Sira. We've…read morehad about 16 private pilates sessions so far, with many years more worth in my mind. It had been a few years since I worked out or done any exercise at all prior to meeting Shenan at TTBF. Before I moved to Sacramento, my previous personal trainer in Sonoma County and I had become involved and she broke my heart. So, dealing with the emotions of it translated into not wanting to exercise because it reminded me of her. We'll use that excuse for not getting off my butt. Fast forward two years and I needed to do something to help this tired old body. I searched for great personal trainers near my home in the McKinley Park neighborhood of the East Sacramento district and found both Robyn (the owner) and Shenan at Time To Be Fit mentioned in Google searches and on Yelp. After I filled out my Health Questionnaire and received a movement evaluation from Shenan, I started on my new road to physical fitness. Most of my workout history and experiences with personal trainers were cardio and weight training oriented. I didn't exactly understand how intense, isometric, and isotonic the practice of pilates really was! I have some experience with Hatha Yoga, Tai Chi Chuan, and even ballet. Pilates reminds me of all these things . . . if done correctly with the expert guidance of a great instructor like Shenan Sira. My body is doing better after the physical therapy approach Shenan took with me as I began training. And, the pilates equipment with names like "reformer" and "tower" are actually used by some physical therapists. I'm toning, strengthening, losing weight, and beginning to remember how it feels to be healthy and strong again. I love that fit feeling! Time To Be Fit is a private, boutique, lovely little facility. As with all businesses, it is the people who are its life blood. I am very fortunate to have found a kind, compatible, sensitive, and highly skilled training professional in Shenan Sira working there. Review 0176 Feel.

I came away with a set of exercises, most of which I can continue at home. I rarely have joint pain now when I continue the easy stretches she taught me.

She explains the exercises she's teaching to you and why strengthening one area or correcting in another area aides in helping functions all over. It's both amazing and mind blowing when I'm doing my "homework" in between sessions and I'm like a little kid going "Pam Pam Pam I did this workout and now this this and this work better and this doesn't hurt anymore!". I originally started working with her to get some assistance with a severe diastasis recti issue but since starting I've seen overall increase in strength every where. So thankful as I never thought I'd be able to work out like I did before the birth of my son but with her patience, help and guidance I'm getting there. Highly recommend her work, especially if you've had no luck with PT or just want to feel better in your own skin! She's got everything to get you on the path to wellness and is truly all about whole body health. Workout days with Pam are my favorite day of the week and will be yours too if you give it a shot!!

The instructor was super positive and made the workout feel comfortable at my very own pace. She offered variations for advanced, intermediate, and beginner levels, and took the time to walk me through the equipment and guide me during the 45 minute session. Whenever I was unsure about the next position, she would come over to teach me the movement, adjust my posture, and explain the correct form. She was extremely encouraging and would tell me I was doing a great job. I appreciated how she kept moving around the room, taking eyes off of people so they wouldn't feel pressured or judged. The space is on the smaller and intimate side, they only had 5 reformers. However, it definitely helps ensure everyone is receiving hand on guidance, so if you're hoping to be able to hide amongst the crowd, this definitely isn't the place. If it is your first time visiting this location, I definitely recommend showing up 10 minutes earlier in order to have enough time to sign a waiver and get comfortable with the instructor.

It has taken me several days to gather my thoughts about what to write for Hanadi's review because…read moreI sadly just do not think there are enough words that are good enough to convey how highly I recommend working with Hanadi to start, continue, or reclaim your health and fitness goals. I have been training with Hanadi since May 2024, shortly after I found out I have Cushing's Disease. It has been a very complicated and usually dismal path to this diagnosis and my body/health were on a steep decline. And fitness was out the window. Then I found Hanadi! Among other things, Cushing's attacks the core muscles. When I first found Hanadi, I would collapse almost immediately when trying to plank or do bridges. Squats and other leg exercises were challenging ti say the least as well. These were very difficult hardships for me to accept because I used to box competitively and had always been active, strong, and fit. Hanadi listened to me intently when I talked to her about these things and immediately understood how to help my body regain muscle and strength, as well as other things I can do to support my body's return to health. With her help and stalwart support and faith, I am so happy to be able to say that I feel stronger and more balanced than even when I boxed; I have lost 70 lbs, 6 pant sizes, and am less than 15 lbs away from my ideal weight. These ste not easy strides to make with Cushing's (I also have PCOS and sub-clinical hypothyroid). Beyond being the first and only trainer I have worked with who can truly see and lead a client to fitness and meaningful progress, Hanadi also genuinely loves and cares for her clients. She has never given half-hearted training and what's more - she will inspire you to never train halfway, either. She motivates, inspires, leads, and pulls forward every last morsel of healing and strengthening energy in your body and expertly identifies and corrects every movement that needs adjustment. I have never worked with a trainer like her, and am eternally lucky and grateful to have her in my life now. I would not hesitate to call her if you are looking for help or maintenance with your wellness and fitness. You will get exactly where you need your body to go.
