Alex is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and experienced. From day one, he helped create a workout plan that actually fits my goals and lifestyle, and he's great at keeping me accountable and on track. What really stands out is how he's skilled at programming around limitations if I ever have a minor discomfort or muscle strain, he knows exactly how to adjust workouts and even help alleviate pain rather than push through it unsafely. The gym also offers yoga classes, which I've always wanted to incorporate, and that has been a huge bonus for me. Overall, the environment feels supportive and motivating, not intimidating. You can tell there's a lot of integrity here, and that the trainers genuinely care about their clients' progress and well-being. It's more than just a gym, it really feels like a fitness community that Alex has intentionally built and cultivated. Highly recommend!

I had concerns about form, injuries, felt self-conscious, intimidated...all of it. Then I found Samera. In the time I've been working with Samera, I've learned so much about strength training, feel confident to continue a practice on my own, learned how to nourish my body to support my practice, am stronger than I've ever been, and I've lost 40 pounds! (For reference, I'm 60 years of age.) All the while, Samera has been encouraging and supportive, notices improvements, celebrates advancements, and always with the deepest sincerity. Your wins are her wins. If you're looking for someone who is as invested in your success as you are, Samera is your person. Do not hesitate, you won't regret it.

Over the course of our time together, I've not only lost 35 pounds but have also gained muscle and improved muscle tone. While I've shed inches, the boost in confidence I've gained is truly transformative. What sets Samera apart, beyond her delightful personality, is her ability to make fitness accessible and enjoyable. She has helped me embrace a lifestyle change rather than viewing fitness as a temporary fix or a chore. By integrating my fitness goals into my daily life, I find the process far more manageable and fulfilling. This investment in myself has been the best decision I've made, and I know it will have lasting benefits for years to come.

I like the 7941 Fair Oaks Blvd. location better because it's kept very clean compared to the other…read moreCarmicheal location at 6314 Fair Oaks Blvd. However I don't understand why the other locations are open longer hours. Especially Friday-Sunday. You would think all the locations would have the same business hours of operation, but the 7941 Fair Oaks Blvd location closes an hour earlier and opens an hour later Monday-Thursday and Friday-Sunday they close two hours earlier. Seems like longer hours on the weekends would be more logical because most people are not working. Another issue is that the pool or jacuzzi seems to be closed due to whatever reasons quite often. Sometimes they are closed for 5 to 10 days or longer. This is an ongoing issue at both Carmicheal locations. These issues are inconvenient and make my recovery process slow or come to a halt at times. Other than that the facilities are adequate. I do recommend In-Shape. The staff is very professional and personable and the majority of the members are down to earth and good people. I've met quite a few members that I really like and respect. I would give 5 stars if it weren't for the issues stated above.

Managers are helpful and women attendants as a rule. this incident really spoiled my day. My friends asked me to repeat the name of the gym. They were shocked. I will refrain from inviting any friends as I wouldn't want them to go through that type of harsh attitude.
