I don't believe EG Fieldhouse is in need of my review, but I'm writing it up anyways because I feel…read morelike I owe them a positive testimony on the great work they've done with me so far! I've joined them back in 2020 and then dropped out when work got intense (or I got lazy). 2 years later I was itching to get back into the gym, shopped around a few places, and couldn't find the same vibe that EG FieldHouse has. Working with Josh, Rachel and the rest of the team here is just unparalleled ... they make working out a whole lot more fun! I've done their regular membership, personal training ... and about to try their physical therapy program starting next week. This team has my full trust, and my business.

"Join us at the 5am class!" they said.. I responded, "WHAT?! That's the middle of the night!!!" After some contemplation, and no other convenient time, I started coming about 2-4 times per week.... and I LOVE IT! I go to sleep a little bit earlier at night, but start my day off with more energy and better attitude. The coaches, Torsten and Josh, are awesome! Inclusive atmosphere, all different levels of fitness, no pressure to perform harder than you're comfortable with -- but enough pressure to push your boundaries and encourage progress. I lost 18 lbs. in the first 2 months!! From 189lbs.- 171lbs.!! Ultimately significantly lowering my cholesterol. I don't even know who I am anymore!

The website is great and easy to book no contract or initiation fee. Each class is set up in stations to focus building skills for developing different tumbling stunts such as cartwheels, front walk over, and back walk overs. The parent waiting area located outside the gym with two large windows to view the participants working through muscle memory stations. It is in a shared space with the juice bar connected to In Shape gym. Pro tip: evenings get pretty packed so make sure you give yourself enough time to find parking. The parking is shared with In Shape gym. If you are unable to make a session you can reschedule your session through your confirmation email. My child was recently sick the day before a tumbling session and it was super easy to reschedule.

From the age of 3 my son has showed a fascination for video games. As of recent, to my delight, he…read morehas shown interest in the creation of video games (coding). In order to assess his level of interest, I downloaded the trial version of an iPhone game/app called Code Spark Academy. This app allows the user to create the intricate details (levels, rewards, etc.) of a game and then play the game. During this time I noticed that his traditional games and even television shows were put on the backburner. While driving through Elk Grove I noticed a new (at least new to me) establishment called Code Ninjas. I immediately found their website and saw that they offered a coding camp based on the popular platform Roblox. Thankfully, the class was being offered on a day that fell within my son's holiday break. Before registering my son for the class, I ran it by him and he enthusiastically said "YES!" After submitting the payment information, I received a welcome packet from Code Ninjas (outlining the facility rules) that I quickly completed and submitted. The morning of the camp I packed a lunch for my son (Code Ninjas does not provide lunch), and we hit the road! After being warmly greeted by the employee at the front desk, I signed in my son, kissed him, and sent him off to explore the world of coding! When I arrived to pick him up, he did not want to leave. Aside from putting the finishing touches on the game that he created for Roblox, he was "networking" with his fellow coding camp buddies. During our ride home, he could not stop talking about the coding camp. He explained to me in detail the game that he created and that his game was saved so that he could resume the modification of the game upon a return visit. I highly recommend Code Ninjas for any parent that has a child that expresses interest in coding. Yes it is a bit pricey ($89 for the coding camp), but it will definitely pay off (literally) in your child's future! I am already planning on registering my son for the Minecraft Coding Workshop. Thank you Code Ninjas!

The park had good number of slides and swings and structures to climb on for all kids ages. They had a nice seating arrangement too. And lot of people were sitting on grass with their groups.

Great multiuse EG park!…read more Location: Located on the corner of Elk Grove Florin and Sheldon is a great family park known as the Jan Rau Park. It is located off a busy intersection but does have a large parking area and some spots for parking off of Sheldon Road Services: The park is used quite often for Soccer and Baseball. It has a rather large field that can be used for quite a few different sports and when it is not being used for that, it is often an area where people like to fly kites as the center field doesnt have any trees around it. In the center of the park are bathrooms, a play area and a picnic area. There is also a snack stand but I have not seen it open and likely used for sports events. The center area is dominated by the three baseball fields and by a single half basketball court. A real missed opportunity here to make it a full court or atleast have another court for two separate groups. The only other issue I have with this park is that it does not have a circular walking path. The path dead ends rather abruptly at the end of of the baseball fields on both the east and south. It feels like they should have a perimeter path and is really a missed opportunity. Overall still a decent park!

Whether your child is a beginner, intermediate or advanced basketball player, Encore Basketball…read moreTraining is where you want your aspiring hooper to be. Here they will learn the basic fundamentals of basketball and improve their footwork, shooting techniques, dribbling, ball handling & passing, etc. Roburt Sallie, is the owner and trainer who has first hand experience playing from the ranks of AAU, high school, D1 college, and professionally overseas. He has a keen eye for identifying strengths and weaknesses in a player, and using that to help develop them into a stronger, more confident person/player, on and off the court. I've seen him take a player with no experience to making their 6th grade basketball team. Another player that could barely make a 3 point shot if it could save his life, to scoring the most 3 in his division. Another player that was struggling in school and not qualified to play, to now getting a 3.0 GPA and leading the team and on his way to college. With Roburt Sallie, it's more than just training. He is extremely passionate and very much invested into each and every one of the kids he trains. His skills clinics and camps are giving what our community and youth need. A place to perfect your passion, while also keeping you safe and active. He typically has a skills clinic 2-3x a week split off into grades 1-5 and grades 6-12. $30 per 90 minute session. The first 60 minutes are usually skills training and the final 30 minutes playing in a tournament format. The camps are typically held during summer/winter. Always very well executed from the specialized training, games, special guests, etc. The facility itself is large and well maintained. Two full size courts and plenty of equipment. Roburt offers private, semi-private, group and team trainings. I personally have a 4 year old that has been with him for the last year. He is a bit on the younger side and can't necessarily shoot the ball into a standard height hoop, but he loves basketball! That being said, we want expose him to it as much as possible. In the last year he has gone from barely being able to dribble, to dribbling up and down the court with one hand, footwork, and basketball drills. While he doesn't play during the tournament style games at the end, he's able to keep up during the group trainings with the older kids that are grades 1-5. I can only imagine as he continues to train, the level he will be at once he actually gets to their age!
