It's a two-story gym with all the amenities you're probably looking for. There are group classes (in the studio and at the pool), hydro massages, a rock wall, a pool, a sauna, an area for kids, and more. The group classes are fun and at favorable times. The studio is actually big enough to have lots of members attend the classes. There's plenty of free weights, machines, and cardio machines available. The cardio equipment is located upstairs and it's not blocking other machines in the weight training area. The studio and turf are located upstairs. There's an area to stretch and use matts on both floors. The free weights and machines are located on both floors. Bathrooms are located on the bottom floor towards the back. The spa and pool are also in the back. The gym is spacious and clean, even the bathrooms. Members re-rack their weights, which I appreciate. The staff are super friendly and helpful. They have personal trainers and a chiropractor on staff. There's plenty of parking. The app to check in works fairly well, but it's not always accurate when it comes to the classes. The only "negatives" are that people love to talk in the weight room, and personal training is almost always happening, so finding a quiet place (when you don't have noise canceling headphones) is nearly impossible. read more

In-Shape Fitness - Weight room - Gyms Near Me - Orangevale, California

This gym is a drag. It's not one thing, but just mid-experiences across the board. Old equipment, limited hours, broken amenities, and poor customer service. I was heading over to do laps, literally just now, and called ahead on my way to ask if the pools were opened. They assured me they were, but when I got there 10 minutes later the lap pools were fenced off and closed. Welp, I just turned around and left. read more

This gym is pretty terrible. I just moved here and have been checking out new gyms around the area. This is by far the worst one I've been to. The facility is very run down. All the equipment is ancient and the facility as whole isn't maintained really at all. Most all areas in the weight room smell like mildew. The weight room and other areas just look like they have been painted a dozen times to make them look "cleaner" with no other maintenance ever being done. The prices for membership here are completely out of step with the competition. This place would be decent if it was $19 a month. But for $50-60 p month it's laughable. Old equipment, run down facilities, dilapidated locker rooms and an odd dated layout do not equal a mid level gym, which is what they are marketing as. I've tried a coupe other in shape gyms, and this seems to be their business model. Just buy a run down, old facility, change the name and literary do nothing else. Thankfully there are much better and better prices choices literally all over the place. read more

The gym equipment in the is outdated and the people who work at the gym do not spen time to unrack or clean the equipment nor do they post rules about how to properly take care of gym equipment. For example, if someone is not as strong as heavy lifters, they are not able to use equipment because they are not unracked. When I give feedback about this, nothing is done and nothing changes. I work out 4x a week and I look each time. The pool and spot at this club is an issue - there can be months that the pool is clean, but then when issues occur, it takes a significant amount of time to fix. Once again, the spa is unhealthy, dirty and not up to safety standards. The pool guy said that the pump is broken yet the pool is still open with very dirty water. They have leaves and dirt in the general pool for months. When I tell employees about this, very rarely does it done quickly, really at all or without a long discussion. A new gym employee did help today to let regional managers know. Rather temporarily fixing the issues with the spa and pool, why not just actually completely fix the pool and spa? There has been a at least 5 issues with the pool in the last year. I decided not to take a picture of the spa, but be sure to take a look next time you're there. I hope management takes this review seriously - it is their job to make sure a gym is up to safety standards in a shared pool for their customers. After reading all the reviews about the status of the pool, nothing is done and I will be filing a report for healthy and safety for our community of swimmers. read more

I hate this gym. This was the first gym my family belonged to when it first opened many years ago. I was around 8. I feel like nothing has been updated for 30 years. The employees are horrible. Alex is a rude little punk who shouldn't be working there. Half the machines are dirty or broken and the place is simply gross. Half the time there is no cleaner to clean machines. I hate this gym so incredibly much. And Alex should be fired. I wish there were actual health and safety codes for these places. read more

Friendly staff and great atmosphere. This location is a hidden gem. Recent changes I've seen in club are very refreshing.

I know some gyms may be newer, but I'm kinda insecure about working out and I've always been treated so well here. The employees really make me feel comfortable. Also, I've worked with Coleman, who's really knowledgeable and helpful. read more

Love this gym! Always clean and all of the staff are very nice. Child care is amazing with my littles! I drive a bit to workout at this location because of the atmosphere and the views from my treadmill & eliptical! read more

The employee caused my mother with dementia to have a complete melt down and then had the nerve to ask us to step outside because of my mom. The employee was completely rude and nasty. Not only do I not want to go back, but my mom refuses to go, saying that she doesn't like how she was treated and then crying and saying she didn't feel like she fit in. read more

The pool is down from February until May in Orangevale. I went to the one on Sunrise to speak about using their pool also down until June. I had knee surgery and can only use the pool. Time to cancel. read more

The pool area got soo bad. No matter how much I complained about it. Kids jumping playing in pool area where adults actively swimming. I complained Soo many time to supervisor nothing was done. It got really bad this year following covid repair. I get it gym need money. What about people who were there though with the gym. Still yet with the gym. However, I don't like it. It's not safe because swimming with underage kids will get swimming person in trouble, without even your knowledge. No one out there to take your back while bunch of kids jumping and taking over the whole pool. We paying for it don't forget. read more

This health club has gone way downhill! There are not enough cycle bikes to meet the needs of loyal members to be able to take the ONE class we still have on Saturday morning. Their answer was to pay more money in order to reserve a bike. In Shape has horrible customer service! Their excuses are a joke! After over 25 years... I am ready to quit as are others! read more

I only go there to swim. The swimming pool is OK. However, there are some people using the pool to cool themselves right after the sauna or steam room without taking shower before that. Very disgusting and a health hazard! Not the cleanest place. Showers and bathrooms are dirty . There is some black mold in the jacuzzi too. read more

I appreciate management fixing the heaters in the pool. Thank you! Many of us rely on the pool and we are thankful that the water is now warm enough to be comfortable. read more

This used to be a great club. Not true now. Management just bought 19 new bikes however that doesn't come close to the number of people who want to spin on Sat morning. There use to be approx 30+ bikes and the class was full. Rather than getting additional bikes, the solution given was to pay an additional monthly fee to be allowed to reserve a bike earlier! How unethical. After Covid, many classes were cancelled and never brought back. Totally frustrating. read more

This gym is the most rundown and least maintained gym I've ever been to, and I've been to some bad ones! I would say close to half of their cardio equipment has signs on it saying "sorry for the delay", and those machines usually remain broken for over six months. There are a few that have been broken for a year. Staff says that they are shortstaffed on maintenance people. Really? In six months to a year, it's not possible for maintenance to fix broken equipment? There are water leaks frequently in the locker room and even on the main gym floor when it rains heavily. If you're looking for a gym, skip it and just go for a walk. Or go for one of the other locations. Only giving it one star because I can't post the review without checking a star. read more

This gym is horrible, when i signed up they got my membership fee wrong and it took me 3 times to get it straight, also was not told about the annual fee, Then I decided to cancel because I was not happy. First off I was NOT told there would be a $250.00 cancellation fee for early cancellation. Do not sign up with this gym, they make it sound good and you get screwed in the end. read more

This gym is super dirty. What's dirty? Look around? The drinking fountains have mold, toilets are dirty. Steam room doesn't get cleaned for weeks. Equipment is dusty and not cleaned regularly. Weights aren't reracked at the end of the day. There is no love put into this gym read more

*This review is based ONLY during the A.M. (6am) hours I've attended and only for a few months due to me working in the area nearby* This facility is huge, a two-story facility of workout equipments. There are 2, sometimes 3 (or more) machines that work on the same muscle groups. IE: I've counted 3 calf raise machines, and 2 'free-weighted' calf machines. As you can imagine, this place is pretty crowded with equipment. You can find a machine for the body part you're working on easily.....well, they are spaced out all over, top and bottom, but eventually you'll find that machine ;) The space for free weights, kettle-bells, and such dwarfs in comparison to the machines. But as stated in my initial sentence, I had no issues in the wee mornings. Of course the morning crowd wasn't that bad and the front desk people are very nice at their greetings. This facility has a sauna and steam room, but both are very small and placed in a weird spot of the gym....(between the mens and women's locker rooms, but INSIDE the gym, so if you have your shirt off, you'll be passing by people working out) The pools are located outside, but I've never ventured out so can't really comment on the condition. Again, this review is strictly for the hours of 6am-9am. I didn't have to deal with too many employees, members, nor did I have to bring my kids here (because the kids club is not open, nor did I need it). read more

I've been going to this gym for over 15 years and it gets worse and worse all the time. The manager did not seem to care about my concern for the lack of care for the pool. As soon as it hit the maximum temperature, 82 degrees, that a pool should be kept suddenly the thermometer was missing. On top of it the pool is noticeably green and there's all sorts of debris on the bottom and floating today. There was a Band-Aid and a razor in the pool just in my lane. I'm canceling my membership tomorrow. read more

I expressed my disappointment with the cold temperature of the water in the outdoor pool, and it has been fixed. Thank you! This is a well-equipped gym and I highly recommend! read more

Happy with this gym. Well taken care of, lots of options (classes, machines, pool, etc.). Good for kids (kid section at pool).

Letter to Cal Fit: This organization should no longer be in business. Thankfully, it looks like it going to be out of business soon from looking at all the reviews from people who've been scammed with hidden fees and termination fees. I was scammed from a Cal Fit sales representative (Graham) at CRC college a month ago. Talked me into getting a free month membership, then I can cancel the membership before the month has ended. Only a $1 promotion with a credit card for students with zero entry fees. After 2 days I requested a form to terminate the account. A month later I received an email saying to pay a $300.00 to get out fee!! I called and no one can do anything about it... Not pleased or happy. I'll stick with planet fitness. This place is nothing but hidden fees all around. Be careful, don't sign anything until you read everything, because all they want is a sale. read more

Let me start off by saying I know COVID has been rough for ALL businesses. I have been going to this gym since I was 14 or so and it's been wonderful. During Covid I have set up a gym at my home and called in many times to the corporate office to cancel my membership. With each call it led me to a messaging machine that said it was full and hung up. This is where I see a loss of opportunity for employee at home jobs. These cancelation/ freeze calls could have I'm sure kept an account team busy. Not to mention the customer sense of ease. In August my card was charged so I called corporate again. Surprise surprise no answer! I then called a location and got a person on the phone. They told me they would send in a request to cancel but don't expect a fast action to expect 4-6 weeks for a cancelation confirmation and refund. In September (current) my account was charged AGAIN. Today I called the corporate office, two locations and no one is answering.... I understand times are crazy but lots of businesses are stepping up and still giving great service, morphing customer service into at home jobs etc. Unfortunately California Family Fitness is not one of them. They will pull your auto pay quicker than you can blink but expect months of you're trying to cancel. Today I will be reaching out to my bank to have the charges removed. read more

They continue on cutting hours at all locations. Instead of extending it, at least after the new year, to give people an ability to bring out their "new years resolutions", they are cutting it more and more. I complained to the employee, she said the management would not hear me out, no matter how much I complain because they don't care. Her words. Plus, she said she's upset herself because her hours got cut. What the hell is wrong with this company? I'm super close to canceling my membership. I'm hanging on a last thread. You go to a gym on Sunday night to just swim or sit in a jacuzzi, but they are closed. You go to the gym close to your home at 3 pm on Friday, but they are closed. Some locations are closed completely on Sundays. Sundays are the days when people actually have time to work out, but they are closed. Where is logic here if they are open when people are at work? Are we suppose to take time off work to work out? I don't understand. Plus, the staff are instructed to be super strict with members. They do not care for anything members complain about. They do not have name tags and do not disclose names to a member that has something to say about a staff member. Not having a name, makes your complaint loose all the value. You are complaining about a people that you cannot name. That's their main target, to disarm anyone who has something negative to say about them, their service, staff, condition of the equipment. Overall California family fitness has a horrible reputation. They are changing their name to in shape, maybe because they think they will erase all the bad reputation they gained with years but you can't fool people. I had a situation where a big fat dude stepped on my son because he put his feet in the jacuzzi and the staff said "well, you're son wasn't even suppose to be in jacuzzi" implying that my son deserved the battery for breaking their rules. My son was 3 years old at that time. Little baby with his feet in the water. They kept on telling me that a 300 pound person was right by stepping on the baby's foot as the punishment for his wrong doing. Thank god fatso did not break his foot but it was swollen. Staff were completely on the fatso side. I suspect because we are Russian so they are discriminating as much as they can. I'm shocked what kind of people work there. What's wrong with you? Where is customer service? read more

I don't know how this location could possibly survive covid-19. It was already outdated and behind the times. The seniors have been keeping it afloat for years. Canceling a membership well beyond the contract period proved virtually impossible. Unlike signing up, cancelling is a runaround circus act designed to exhaust you into giving up. It took 4 emails & 5 phone calls to even get them to acknowledge my request to cancel. And the Orangevale manager Krystina was less than useless despite being the mgr at their corporate location. It's now day 23 since an email reply from Krystina and still no prorated refund of the rip-off annual membership fee or refund of the most recent monthly dues charged post cancellation. It will be great to see this place go and replaced with something that proves more of an asset to the area. read more

if you look up or down, you see dust and dirt everywhere. theres soo much dirt if youre on the floor doing abs. If you're on stairs and look up, theres a layer of dust bunnies covering the ceiling. I hate to think about how many allergens I'm potentially breathing in. They should have signs that say you need to rerack weights, saw a man yesterday leaving 4 plates each side on the hack squat. All the equipment is aged. Can never find a plate you need on the machine you're using and have to walk around the whole room trying to find what you need. Only one smith machine, one olympic lifting station and two other possible squat racks but no arms if you fail. Equipment set up doesn't make a ton of sense. Could use new base boards/a remodel or at least a good cleaning. Hopefully new management does something. read more

As of Friday morning, 3/1/24..... pool full of leaves for weeks and covering inlets to pumps/filters. Spa was filled to within a half inch of overflowing on Thursday, on Friday it was 5" below normal level. Steam room has been broken for at least 7 weeks with no estimate date of repair. I've heard at least a few complaints about the sauna not warming to a useful temperature. And the topper... no hot water in the locker room for the past 8 days and no placard at the front desk mentioning this major issue. I gave them one star since they went back to 4:30am opening time. read more

I have been a member for about 18 years. I originally went for yoga but have found lots of other classes and options. Yet in the last couple of years some of the instructors I had were not amazing and I have actually hurt myself. They have in the past had some pretty good to excellent yoga instructors throughout top he different locations. However when Elaine left they replaced her with a darling yet horrible instructor. Another great instructor left from the CH location and this same horrible gal took her place. read more

Childcare has either been closed due to staffing issues or "at capacity" the last three out of four times I have visited, which makes my membership completely useless. It takes an enormous amount of effort to pack up my toddler and drive to the gym just to have to turn around and return home. It's also a complete waste of my time. I'm a new member and I'm reallllly starting to regret signing up for Cal Fit in Orangevale. Membership fees are steep for a membership I can't utilize. read more

This gym is not clean, has old and broken equipment, and the staff is not helpful.

3rd CFF I went to this morning, and nobody is available to sign me up for a membership at any location. They clearly don't want new business. The front desk lady was also quite dismissive. Wish I could choose zero stars. read more

Ridiculous Scam. I cancelled my membership today after 8 months of receiving nothing. I bought a family membership at 3350 Arden Way, for my 3 kids (Age 6 and up) to get involved with swimming. The sales manager there made many promises including that they would be a pool and various programs for kids during the summer. I asked specifically about my kids having access to the pool and taekwondo classes; they promised me that all these things would be made available for the kids in a month. So I signed up based on these promises. It's been eight months and there is still no pool, there are no program for kids. I've taken my kids there five times to see if there are programs like promised and there is still nothing for them to do there and they refuse to go now. I don't blame them. Now I inquired again about the pool today and they admitted they are having issues with the county and don't know when a pool will be open. This was never once mentioned for 8 months! No transparency. I feel like I've been robbed of $110 a month on all of these false promises and constant dishonesty. I have canceled this membership, and there's going to be a cancellation fee of $175. Ridiculous, nothing less than a full refund of all fees is acceptable. You will be hearing from my lawyer for services not rendered and breach of contract. And complaints filed to our local consumer protection office and to the FTC. Don't support a company with misleading businesses practices and employees that only care about their commission on memberships. Steer clear of this company. read more

2 weeks ago they turned off sauna for unknown reason. looks like manager trying to lower electric bill. members have to pay dues anyway. on top of it sauna is very dirty. they could use this down time to clean it. ***Please check for dirt fill berween boards on lower bench ***. Will attach photo if not cleaned within reasonable timeframe read more

UPDATE UPDAT Still DISHONEST!!!!!!!! They responded to me 2 days ago. I contacted them by email and called them. They have not responded .

Scammers, pure and simple. They are taking advantage of their paying customers during a pandemic. Communication is impossible. Yes I get your "busy" stop using that as a cop out excuse to every customer. Cal Fit relies solely on phone as communications so they cannot be held accountable for what is said and then they can change it up on you months later. They are predatory. They are not delivering you any services (childcare closed, locations closed, swimming pools closed, outdoor workouts... etc) and yet have the AUDACITY to raise the prices to paying customers. Stay far away. If you try to cancel, they make it so difficult that you just want to give up with the whole thing - they attempt to charge you a BS one last gym payment and then say, well at least it's not our normal 300 late fee... I'm sorry- for WHAT?! You're not providing me a service? Why would you think I would pay you?! They are scammers and should all be ashamed of yourselves. I hope this predatory company will go out of business and then they are never in the position again to take advantage of their customers. Shame on you. read more

We have gone here for years due to the proximity to our home. However, we are now considering going elsewhere even though we would have to travel. Place is getting very run down, dingy and many machines no longer do work. While there are some good employees and some staff still care, others are lackadaisical and entitled. Show some common decency and respect folks. Management, maybe you should do some "secret shopping" and see what your clientele is really experiencing. (Try early mornings all five days a week to see the big picture.) read more
