His background on health, nutrition and fitness is quite extensive and he has the knowledge to help customize a plan that is tailored to your needs to help get you were you need. The gym is clean, and the machines are well maintained. All equipment needed to workout the body in various disciplines, be it cardio, resistance training, and pilates are available.

One thing I really appreciate is that she will tailor workouts to what you're looking for in the moment--instead of prescribing what is on her mind that day. Sacramento is lucky to have such a thoughtful fitness expert in the hood! :)

I've been training with Rachel for over a month now and I don't think I'll ever go back to how I…read morewas working out before. Rachel not only is personable and caring but also listens to your wants and needs. One of my favorite things about working out with Rachel is that she keeps things fresh every month and nearly every week. I've now referred her to multiple friends and family simply because of how much I've enjoyed our time and how evident the results have been since.

This is the absolute best Pilates studio in town. If you are new to Pilates i recommend here!…read moreStephanie the owner, but also a teacher there, is very passionate about Pilates and the community. I took a private for my first ever Pilates class, and stephanie decided to personally do the session with me because I had discussed how I had previous sports injuries. On their social media, you'll see all the instructors are constantly learning more to be even better instructors. I am personally a big fan of reformer Pilates so I can only speak to that. But go on their instagram, you'll see all the different Pilates classes they offer, student feedback, and I love how they every now and then do nutrition workshops. Overall this studio is committed to educating their students, and for them their clients a priority. I will never be able to speak highly enough but if you need a Pilates studio THIS IS THE ONE also! If big classes scare/intimidate you that's the best part of this place is they have about 8 reformers so the classes stay small which also allows the instructor to be very hands on. Love CORE!!

Austin is a fitness training professional that I recommend highly. I am in my second month of…read moretraining with him and I look forward to continuing for a long time. I retired 9 months ago and tried to get fit on my own at GB3 but my habits faltered: I really needed motivational and practical help and Austin provides that. Fitness training is Austin's only job and he runs his training business efficiently using modern electronic scheduling, reminder, and billing tools. In my particular case I have a bad back and he carefully chooses exercises just for me the help me strengthen my back without overly straining it. I used to hate myself when I looked in the mirror and now I'm only mildly disappointed. I am looking forward to what the future brings.

I trained with Austin for probably 4 months. I wasn't good at "firing" which is why I kept going…read more Right before each payment for the next month he would tell me how much better he was going to be which is why I ended up sticking around for so long. It was okay at first, but just be aware you are not signing up for 1:1 sessions. He constantly scheduled other clients to work out with me. Other clients would be late and we would wait for them. He would end my sessions early almost every time. He began texting me he couldn't make sessions an hour before my sessions frequently. Always on his phone during sessions as well. Just be mindful of what you're signing up for.

Main entrance is on Spruce but there are 2 other entrances on each side of the building.

Alicia Giana Fitness is so much more than just a gym, it truly feels like a community. I've met so…read moremany great people, and I love seeing familiar faces every time I come in. The atmosphere is welcoming, comfortable, and never intimidating. I can take my time with my workouts without feeling rushed, surrounded by aggressive gym-bros, or having to wait forever for a machine. The location is also super convenient, right by the freeway and close to plenty of stores, so I can easily run errands before or after my workout. The gym is always incredibly clean and hygienic. Unlike other gyms that just smell like bleach, you can tell this space is genuinely and frequently deep cleaned. I also love following the owner on Instagram. She is so helpful, encouraging, and genuinely cares about understanding your goals and helping customize your fitness journey. It's a place I actually enjoy spending time at, whether I'm there for a quick workout or want to stay longer. I'm so happy I found this gym!

Reporting fraud on small businesses is becoming more common and now banks are finally working with small businesses to fight these claims.

MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY SIDED WITH ME SEE PROOF IN PHOTO. Don't waste your time or money with Movement Mechanics and DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT. My Worst Personal Training Experience Ever was at Self Made Gym San Marcos with Movement Mechanics, My first workout, halfway through the workout Mike answered his phone instead of focusing on what I paid him for (training), He engaged in a conversation regarding a complaint from a former employee, this phone conversation took up 20 min of my paid training session. I was offered NO compensation for the session; instead I got the story of the former employee behavior. My second workout, I show up on time at my scheduled 8am time thinking I was meeting with Mike. I'm standing around no Mike anywhere in sight. I decided to start stretching and finally after 10 min a woman walks up and ask who I'm looking for, after stating Mike she introduced herself as his wife and we began the session. Even though she was directing me on the workout her focus was on the family vacation to Egypt that was occurring in a couple days. Mike shows up 30 min into the workout Starbucks in hand. My 3rd session with Mike went fine, focus was on proper form, stretching (this is what I paid for and should get every time). I was introduced to the Ron whom was taking over for Mike while he was on vacation; I was to meet with Ron the following day. This was my 4th and my final workout. I walked into Self-Made gym looking for the Ron whom was covering for Mike. After interrupting his conversation and asking for direction on my workout, something I should have had to do. He directed me to exercise board C and told me to follow it, confused with the chicken scratch I ask Ron for direction, he tried to explain the squat/knee lift but stated he was unsure how Mike wanted me to execute the exercise finally together we came up with a squat leg lift that appeared to look appropriate. Ron then resumed to his previous conversation with a long time member of self-made. At this point I had enough! Every person I came across in the short 4 days was all disengaged, uninterested, unfocused on paid clients. 10 min into the training session with Ron I walked out. I knew that this would be the last workout with movement Mechanics. I clearly paid for a service that was falsely advertised on the website. Movement Mechanics is incompetent in training and customer service. Poor Coaching, Poor Motivator, Poor Movement Specialist, there's zero excuse for a trainer to fail to understand the nature of this kind of behavior. Rookie Personal Trainer Mistake #1 - Not focusing on your paid clients.

Hard to put into words what is special about this private gym. Truly it is unlike any other. And…read morewhile I feel stronger than I started 6 months ago, there isn't any change in my BMI. With that being said, this gym asks more of you than will be asked of you--- maybe ever. Be prepared to go 5-6x a week. Be prepared for your legit excuses to get squashed. Be prepared to be uncomfortable but still learn something about yourself that you didn't know before (even though you think you know yourself pretty well to begin with) I credit this gym to inspiring me to get my business cards finished. I know that sounds unrelated, but fitness & business is actually connected. Also, I have been motivated to do my taxes because there is an expression I learned here: Embrace the suck. And it applies to all the things you don't want to do, and yet you will feel better and stronger once you do it. There is a community feel here. Maybe the most I encountered on the floor was 10 people. Truly a dream come true when you don't want a crowded gym. Trainer knew how to modify exercises for my injuries. If you feel called to join, you should, trust your gut. My experience is just that. Whoever reads this will have a different mindset, attitude and life lived experience.
