I really wanted to gain confidence in a gym setting so I reached out to David. I called and we set up a meeting to discuss goals and expectations at his facility. When I arrived I was so nervous! He was so nice and patient with my axiety and everything went well. I started the sessions and I quickly gained confidence being in a gym environment. Every person that walks through the doors are so nice, supportive and respectful of each other. It is a group setting, but everyone has their own goals. He writes personalized exercises on a whiteboard and works with each person individually. No one is doing the same exercises as anyone else nor do you do the same exercise each visit. David demonstrates the exercise and ensures proper form. He explains what the target areas are and what you should be feeling. He also rotates from person to person to give you time to do your thing but keeps checking on you to make sure everything is going okay. He does include tension releasing techniques/exercise's which is a huge plus if you have tension or pain in any areas. Bonus: He provided two meal plans. All in all, great experience!

Now that I have…read moreexperienced this place in person, I can confidently agree with all the 5-star reviewers here. The trainer's name is David. He is a down to earth family man and very easy to talk to. David is also a great personal trainer with a lots of experience and patience. He is very mindful of you capabilities, and he personalizes trainings based on your goal and avoid injuries at the same time. I highly recommend this place.

I have been taking spinning classes under the instruction of Davidjon for a couple months now, and would probably look a little different if I attended regularly. But, hey it's my summer right now and I have vacations to go on and mornings to sleep away. Davidjon is an awesome, motivating instructor that came from a bigger gym chain before he opened this business. There are spinning classes 2 times a day all week and one on Saturday. He also does private personal training sessions as well. See his website for more details! He also gives quite an incentive if you are signing up for classes for the first time. Also, if you want to check out a spin class the first class is FREE! So, what have you got to lose? As for spinning itself, it's an amazing workout! If you haven't tried it you are seriously missing out! The music selection is awesome and gets me going and motivated to work out hard during the 6am hour, which is normally when I attend. The 6pm classes are pretty crowded, which is why I avoid them. Plus, the traffic on Sunrise is a disaster at that time. What's also cool is that on my way there in the morning, I get to drive through the cute town of Fair Oaks and I can hear the roosters crowing to greet me and wake me up! I am totally an advocate of local businesses and I am so glad I found this place. I was just exploring the neighborhood and saw the big sign outside that read SPINNING. I went in and talked to Davidjon, attended the next class I could and am now hooked!

I have always found the gym intimidating and working out a chore, but Angela has taken away the intimidation and created workouts that I enjoy doing. As someone who used to go to public gyms often, Angela provides tips and tricks to working out comfortably in a public setting. The workouts she creates for you have a variety of exercises, so you aren't doing the same ones every time. She also understands that you aren't always going to be motivated to go to the gym and has created workouts that can be done at home. Angela encourages you to listen to your body, so you do not injure yourself by lifting too much weight or using improper form. Angela demonstrates the correct form before having you perform the exercise, but also provides immediate feedback if she sees incorrect form. I really appreciated this as I have injured my back before and was scared to reinjure it. Angela taught me the signs that told me I was completing an exercise incorrect and was putting strain on my back. In addition to the workouts, Angela teaches you about how your eating habits affect you gut microbiome. I learned so much about cooking oils, macronutrients/micronutrients, supplements, and so much more, but it never felt like I was forced to learn or do anything. Angela provides you with the information, and lets you decide what you do with it. Unlike other personal trainers, who want you to be reliant on them forever, Angela wants you to be comfortable with working out so you can go to the gym by yourself. I have learned so much from her and am so thankful that I had the chance to work with her. She has truly changed my habits (and life) for the best.

Heaven for watersport lovers!!…read more This is the nicest and biggest aquatic rental facility in the Sacramento area. Parking: $10 if you don't rent their equipment, with plenty of spaces in the complex. Otherwise, you can park for "free" at the State Park area if you have the Golden Poppy Annual Pass ($125). The park also has plenty of picnic tables and a small beach area for sunbathing. Restrooms: Women's (5 stalls), Men's (5 stalls), plus 2 unisex restrooms. There are plenty of rental options, including single/tandem kayaks, SUP boards, and canoes. If you are in a group, all renters must sign in at the same time because the rental period starts once you sign in. They also have CREW and CANOE clubs! All rentals must be returned by 8 PM or you may be fined. No cycling or weight training on the premises, but there is a basketball court on the side. All life jackets, equipment, and docks were clean and in good condition. The payment line moves quickly. If possible, print the waiver at home to save time. You also need to create an account on their website before they can place your order; otherwise, you'll need to create one on the spot when purchasing tickets. After purchasing, you leave your driver's license and car key with them. There is a 15-minute courtesy buffer deducted from your total rental time for walking to the dock, restroom breaks, setup, etc. Service: friendly and efficient. If you change your mind: for example, from a SUP board to a kayak: they simply call the front desk and let you switch at the dock. Lake Natoma is perfect for kayaking or paddleboarding because it starts wide and gradually narrows. The current is almost nonexistent until around 4 PM. It's about 2 miles to the small island near Willow Creek Recreation Area, which makes a perfect scenic picnic spot.

SAFETY FIRST! All Renters and students must wear a properly fitted Life Jacket!

If you're looking for a great alternative to the big box gym, happy bodies is the place. They offer a wide variety of classes (Group Strength, ZUMBA, Weightless Workout, Cardio Kickboxing) at all times of the day. Their instructors are great, friendly and motivating. It's like cheers, they seem to know everyones first name. Plus the studio is absolutely adorable. Recently, they have hip hop classes for my son, who loves to dance. Best of all, no membership fees, no contracts, you can even buy by the class. Take advantage of their three for free pass, and attend a few of the classes to get a feel. read more
