    Snack bar
    Veronica B.

    They have a good amount of parking. We had to pay when we got into the building. We came for basketball games, but have been here before for soccer. It's a nice facility. They have a snack bar and the bathrooms were clean.

    We came her for my 3rd grader's AAU basketball tournament. The place is spacious with 8 courts and ample bench seating. The climate was well controlled and felt on the cooler side.

    I purchased a $40 guest pass which was extremely expensive but I was staying nearby so I bit the…read morebullet. It's a nice facility if you don't want to utilize the almost non existent free weight area. There were 2 flat benches, 3 inclines (one of which could not be adjusted due to missing knob) and one seated bench which was missing the seat. I waited 25 minutes for a bench and never did get one. There was almost 2 rows of missing weights 20-35 lbs I believe and as there were only 4 people using the weights, not sure what to think. For $40 (my fully equipped club charges $25 day pass as does the fully equipped 24 hr fitness nearby I expected a more fully equipped gym. There were a lot of cardio and fitness machines if that's what you are looking for but if you are looking for a free weight fitness program, I highly recommend looking elsewhere. I mentioned the broken benches and missing weights to the front desk and he is "going to let the fitness director know" - shouldn't they already know? Anyway spent too much money and didn't really get a decent workout. Just spoke with club ambassador Rocco - he reached out regarding my experience. He explained that I was there during their busy time and they are repairing the benches and will be expanding their free weights areas in the near future. Felt better that I was heard and the club was already working on a solution.

Front desk attendants are some of the incompetent people I have ever met and can't ever answer any question and are super unprofessional Group fitness instructors are terrible. One of the cycle instructor breathes so heavy into the mix when teaching. It's your job to teach not be out of breath gasping for air. Yoga is a joke. How do you find you fall place when you can hear the cycle instructor and their music in the next room? Their cafe is also full of incompetent people and gross shakes. The staff can't even answe simple ingredients questions and are not eager to find you the answer Only good thing id the childcare people.

All the staff is so nice, including the membership coordinators, the front desk check-in staff, the instructors (even those you haven't even taken a class from), the café staff, and even the cleaning ladies. I've had long conversations with the front desk, café, and janitorial staff. One Zumba instructor I play pickleball with sometimes! My primary activity is pickleball, of course! This is the premier place to play pickleball in the greater Sacramento area. Sure, you can struggle to play on a public court or join other sports clubs with pickleball, but where do all the pros eventually gather, and where are the most local tournaments held? It's here at the Johnson Ranch Pickleball Complex (South facility) with its 24 beautiful and maintained courts. The beauty of Johnson Ranch's pickleball is that it's not hard to find open play. It's also organized by skill level, unlike the public courts. We have a pickleball director, multiple pro instructors, and 3 pickleball event organizers putting together fun events for us: the popular Kings/Queens of the Court, women's/men's/mixed doubles events, ladders, MLP teams (I can't wait!), beginner Pickleball 101 classes free to the public, Challenge the Pros game, prize challenges, Live Ball and other drill classes, and pickleball classes and camps. You can also reserve a court (pickleball, tennis, racquetball, or squash) or a swim lane for free with your membership. The North facility has 25 tennis courts. All our tennis and pickleball courts are lighted until 10 pm! Gym equipment, swimming pools, hot tubs, and children's wading pools can be found at both North and South facilities. The North facility has a sauna and steam room. The group exercise studio and cycling studio are in the South facility. Other than pickleball, these are my favorite classes: 10 AM Aqua Fit Class (M W F Sat Sun) Dance Fusion Class (Thu 2x, Sat with instructors Lori N or Ali B) Sometimes, I will go to Julia's 4:30 Warrior Flow Yoga class on Thursday before Dance Fusion class. I should try more classes, but they all conflict or compete against pickleball or aqua fit class. The Aqua Fit ladies like to chit chat and celebrate birthdays monthly with a potluck after class. To celebrate, one woman sometimes brings her homing pigeons to release, and they fly home...so cool! Kathee on Mondays and Wednesdays is the instructor I interact with most. Kelly on Fridays seems to be the most popular with her water aerobics class. The Dance Fusion instructors Lori and Ali have years of dance training in different types of dance. The rest of us in class are just trying to keep up and wishing to look as hip, coordinated, and graceful as them. We're working on the Beyonce Texas Hold Em TikTok Dance currently! We've done the Shivers line dance and Michael Jackson's Thriller dance before. There are group classes in yoga, cardio, strength training, cycling, pilates, barre, and more. The morning group exercise devotees will often attend three classes in a row! The food and drink menus at both the North and South cafes are extensive. I like the Chicken Caesar Salad for around $8 and love the $1 slushies! I need to try one of the homemade cookies someday. There's also homemade banana bread. I heard the smoothies were good from a personal trainer. You can hire a personal trainer or get private instruction in your sport of choice. Johnson Ranch offers after school programs and summer programs for kids (i.e., swimming, pickleball camps), as well as child care. You can contact a membership coordinator or sign up online for a free one week trial: https://www.sparetimesportsclubs.com/free-one-week-membership/ During the summer, there is sometimes a free two week trial if you contact AmyH@sparetimesportsclubs.com Last year, I won a free two week membership from spinning the prize wheel during a Friday Night Lights pickleball party. To cancel a month-to-month membership, you just need to give notice before the 15th of the previous month. You can also put your membership on vacation hold ($15 per month?) or medical hold ($5 per month, prorated when you start back up and the $5 that month is credited, hold for an initial 3 months and extend as needed). On the last Friday of the month, you can bring in 4 free guests. To look for pickleball events at Johnson Ranch, sign up for a free account on the Playtimescheduler.com website. Free 5 PM beginner Pickleball 101 lessons are usually in a brown circle on the 1st and 3rd Fridays every month. The free 6-9 PM Friday Night Lights party open to the public is usually in a brown circle on the 3rd Friday. Time is precious. If you want to play and improve at pickleball quickly, this is the place to be.

    InShape Fitness -- Rocklin (Warren) Early Morning Review…read more 4am and early‑morning workouts at the Rocklin location off Warren are unbeatable. The gym isn't overly busy at that hour, which makes it easy to access equipment and move through your routine without waiting around. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and consistent, even at those pre‑sunrise hours. The whole environment feels clean, calm, and focused -- the perfect way to start the day strong. If you're an early riser or someone who likes a quiet, efficient workout, this location delivers every time.

    I have been a customer at In-Shape for the past four years and have regularly used the soccer…read morefacilities without issue. Unfortunately, my experience last night 02/27/2026 was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. For context, this facility has two soccer fields: one requires check-in for league play, and the other can be privately booked, which does not require check-in. My group had booked the smaller field for the evening, as we have done many times before. As I entered the facility, an employee named Isabelle stopped me by whistling at me from a distance. I found this extremely disrespectful and demeaning, as it felt as though I was being called over like an animal rather than addressed as a paying customer. In my four years coming here, no employee has ever treated me this way. When I approached, she spoke to me in a harsh and aggressive tone, asking, "What are you doing here? Where are you going? What's your name?" I calmly explained that I was there to play on the smaller field and that check-in was not required because it was not league play. She interrupted me, raised her voice, and began walking toward me in an intimidating manner, insisting that I could not go to the field without checking in. When I asked for her name, she refused to provide it and continued demanding my name in an aggressive tone. I later saw her name tag and noted it myself. Even after a front desk employee confirmed my identity to her, she continued questioning me and even referred to me as "little boy," which was completely inappropriate and unprofessional. Shortly after, she and another employee approached my teammates on the field and spoke to them in the same rude and disrespectful manner, insisting we needed to check in despite the field being privately booked. By that point, my entire group felt uncomfortable and offended by the way we were being treated. I do want to note that the other employee, Bladea, later apologized to me and my friend when Isabelle was not around, which I appreciated. However, the overall experience was still very upsetting and should never happen to customers. As a long-time customer who brings consistent business to this facility, I expect to be treated with basic respect and professionalism. There is a difference between enforcing policies and speaking to customers in a hostile, demeaning way. This experience left me feeling disrespected and unwelcome. I strongly encourage management at In-Shape Health Clubs to address this matter and provide additional customer service training so no other customers are treated in this manner.

    Lifetime Folsom is not a gym... it's a full-blown civilization…read more Met a friend here for a workout, and since she's not a member, we had to do the whole guest pass process first. You know... the "tap here, sign here, acknowledge that squats may humble you today" routine. But I've got to give credit where it's due -- the front desk made it ridiculously easy. They were handling a phone call and getting my friend squared away at the same time, and somehow still made it all look smooth. No chaos, no confusion, no "uhhh let me get my manager." Just straight-up professionalism. The second we walked in, she looked around and said, "Is this a city or a gym?" I said, "Honestly... both." Because Lifetime Folsom is not for the weak or the directionally challenged. This place has everything. Pool, spa, cafe, workout floors, recovery zones, pickleball, tennis, locker rooms that feel fancier than some apartments... at one point I'm pretty sure if you turn the wrong corner you accidentally enroll in a wellness retreat. And my favorite part? The confidence people have before a workout. She came out of the locker room with that movie trailer energy like, "Alright, let's do this." Looking at me like, "Bring it." And I did. I coached her through the workout, and for the first 20 minutes she was hanging in there strong. Then somewhere around that 1 hour and 30 minute mark, the spirit left the body. By the end, the look had changed from "I got this" to "I would like to formally unsubscribe." And honestly? Respect. Because the workout was solid. We laughed the whole time, had great conversation, and got after it. That's what I love about Lifetime -- whether you're going hard or just trying to survive the stair climber without seeing your ancestors, it somehow still feels fun. After we wrapped up, we grabbed our stuff and headed to the cafe because recovery was no longer optional. She needed a pick-me-up, and honestly, probably a new set of legs. We grabbed shakes, sat down, and started coming back to life. Then out of nowhere she goes, "Ummm... tacos?" And I looked at her like she had just spoken the Lord's language and said, "Yes." Then she hits me with, "I got the spot. Follow me." Now THAT is elite leadership. So basically this place gave us: a killer workout, laughs, smoothies, and the launching point for Taco Tuesday. What more do you want from a gym? A zip code? Actually... Lifetime might already have one. In all, Lifetime Folsom continues to prove it's way more than just a gym. It's an experience. It's a fitness amusement park. It's where confidence goes to get tested and where post-workout taco plans are born. And honestly... that's beautiful.

    This club is beautiful. It has tons of classes, lots of equipment, decked out locker rooms with…read morelocks, indoor pool, outdoor pool, places to sit and work. I joined this gym specifically because of loving to play pickle ball. Their app is very helpful and let me know they had open play on a Monday morning so I showed up, but everybody was already playing and it wasn't clear how open play worked because it looked like nobody was waiting but me. So I went back into the club and asked the pro how it worked, he walked me out and asked a group of ladies if they would mind me rotating in. They told him sure. However, they joked around about who was gonna get stuck with me on their team because I was new. I had a lot of fun playing, but it was really clear that when it came time to rotate, nobody wanted me on their team. I didn't think I played that badly. I came back when I could play with my husband and loved it. Then the club had a tournament so we joined. At the beginning, I ranked in the bottom tier, which was fine because I was still new and there were others in the tier with me. During the tournament I met other really nice people who were also figuring things out like I was. However, I progressively got better and kept moving up the tournament ranks until one night I made it onto a pretty decent group of players who I hadn't yet played with. The first serve to me was a screwball serve, so I missed it. They immediately stopped the game and said I didn't belong there. All 3 players walked off the court and got the pro and told the pro that I must be in the wrong court. She assured them I was on the correct court. It was humiliating and very awkward because I was definitely not welcomed. And it was hard to put my head in the game, so I reinforced their assumptions by not playing my best. Interestingly, when that same man served to one of the others, she blamed the ball saying that there was something wrong with it and threw it away, but when I had missed, it had to be something with my abilities. Just very unfriendly. I tried another open play another time, but it was also awkward. Everybody seemed paired off, and there were no rotations or invitation to join. I kept wondering if I simply didn't know the protocols and the pros/staff were no where to be found, so no facilitating the game play. My husband went to another night's open play and he said it was super awkward because the pros/staff weren't facilitating that night either. So he stood around like I had, and not sure how to get involved since the pro/ club staff seemed MIA that night too. I think the experience would be so much better if the pros or staff facilitated open play. Players definitely have feelings about new people so a structured facilitation would be really helpful. Overall this club has so many great features but open play pickleball isn't one of them.
