    Charlene G.

    I joined my friend Armando, at one of the drop in conditioning classes on a Saturday morning from 0830-0930 w/ the instructor Christian. My first impression of the gym is that it's nice and open, with different areas of training. You have cardio machines on one side, free weights on the other and a nice a straight long area of turf in the center where the group exercises/trainings occur. It was nice to look around and see that the members working out at this gym are motivated and you can tell how in shape they were. There was a slight intimidating factor as soon as you walk in, but once you start the class that slowly subsides. As an avid spin/cyclist, I'm used to taking indoor spin classes 4-5x a week, but weightlifting and circuit training is another beast. The conditioning class incorporated kettle bells and using our own body weight for the exercises. Christian also had us do sprints all while keeping our form correct and tight. You can tell that this gym is all bizness by the way their members show up and show out! Let's just say that I was sore and full of lactic acid for at least a week. But overall the workout was great and it hurt so good! Would I return for another drop in class? Absolutely!

    Trainers: Only 2 trainers available…read more Facility: Two-level facility. The AC works well throughout the gym, although the second floor feels noticeably cooler than the first floor. Classes: Group fitness classes are limited to 35 participants. The workout space has a large pillar in the middle that blocks visibility for some attendees. Parking: Plenty of parking available in the underground garage. Members receive 3 hours of complimentary parking at the Golden 1 complex, which is a great perk if you want to explore nearby businesses after your workout. Cleanliness: Workout areas are generally clean and well maintained. However, the restroom area tends to be messier. Amenities: The gym features a full-size basketball court, a swimming pool, sauna, steam room, and whirlpool. Recovery Room: This is a major advantage since the recovery room is currently only available at four locations. The add-on costs $9.99/month and includes: * 4 massage chairs (20-minute sessions) * 3 zero-gravity chairs * 2 Hyperice massage guns * Hyperice Normatec leg recovery boots The room is well air-conditioned and comfortable. The only downside is that it is located beneath the basketball courts, so the sound of bouncing basketballs can be quite loud and distracting at times. What I especially like is that there is no strict time limit on using the recovery room amenities. At another gym I visited, members had to reserve equipment in advance, and staff would activate each machine for a limited session. Once the timer expired, the massage chairs and recovery boots automatically stopped, requiring another reservation and staff activation. This location offers a much more flexible and user-friendly recovery experience.

Front desk receptionist are friendly and provide great service. My 24 hour membership was actually declined and i found out it was because my membership was changed from Nation wide access to just regional access. The receptionist was very understanding about this and let me in the gym still. Once inside, i do gotta say the layout of the gym is a little off. not a fan of the 1st floor and 2nd floor set up. But overall I had a good chest day. The top floor has enough bench presses and weights are very organized. People there are friendly and organized. It wasn't too busy at 6am and was able to do all my sets without waiting for machines. I was very impressed with the amount of squat racks they had. Lots of open spaces to stretch and do plyometric work. Lighting is good too as they have big windows overlooking 7th street and it's cross street. My experience here was really good.

So I'm gonna focus on the things you may not experience on a tour or short term trial membership 1. swim classes for children scheduled throughout the week that take up 2 of the 3 lanes. If you know when you want to swim make sure to look for conflict before joining. I stopped swimming when they first started this program due to unscheduled pool closures because of sanitary concerns. 2. problems finding subs for fitness classes. City Sports either has problem hiring fitness instructors or have not budgeted for enough instructors. Frequently yoga subs are not yoga certified - they should call it a stretch class because it is not yoga. Another example, due to an instructor taking vacation, instead of step, body works and Zumba on Sunday, the classes are Zumba, Zumba and Zumba.

I called around 12pm and was told they were at lunch and would call back. I didn't get a call back, so I called again around 1:30 and was told they were still out. I waited another two hours (around 3:30pm), called back and was told they'd call me back around 4pm. Finally at 4:30pm, Jared finally called back, only to be told that the pricing we had previously discussed went from $55/month to $65/month. I understood that there was a price difference and was okay with it. Jared had quoted me what was going to be due upfront, roughly $270. I said okay and proceeded to give my credit card information and was told I was good to go. Five minutes later, I get a text from Jared stating the price mentioned did not include the two guest passes, which I had stated from the beginning to include the price. Overall, it was unprofessional to have me waiting four hours for a call just to be told the wrong price after giving my card information.

    So early last year I decided to make the jump from Planet Fitness to In-Shape Fitness in Natomas.I…read morewas ok with being a member at Planet Fitness but I reached a point where the amenities it was missing and that In-Shape offered were too much to ignore-so I made the switch and joined In-Shape. In-Shape is a pretty good gym-have many amenities,many classes,a lot of new equipment that I've seen them replace older machines with,this particular location is a multiple floor building and each floor has different areas for weights both free weights and machine weights.I would also say it never feels too overly crowded unless you get very unlucky and get there at the exact perfect moment.They have a dry sauna area and a steam sauna area-I heard but can't verify there is also a woman's only dry sauna in their locker room.There is also a full sized basketball court and racquet ball courts.They also have a rock climbing wall,they have multiple swimming pools,they have 2 massage chairs which are available for members to use.They have so many cardio machines-just about all types are available,from bikes to stair climbers to treadmills and others that I'm not so sure what they are called. All that being said,what I truly wanted to talk about was my favorite feature of this gym and that is the offerings of Pilates classes they have at this gym.They offer Pilates classes on Monday and Thursday evenings as well as 2 classes on Saturday mornings,which means a member could take up to 4 hours of Pilates a week if they were so inclined.This is part of your monthly membership-it's really great-not sure many other In-Shape locations offer so many Pilates classes at this time. On a personal note I would like to highlight one of the Pilates instructors Severine,she currently teaches the Monday and Thursday evening Pilates classes and let me just say she is wonderful.As a person who never took a Pilates class,I ended up signing up for her class after the encouragement of my wife who has taken her class for quite some time.I did so reluctantly thinking that as a 52 year old man, who doesn't know a thing about Pilates,it was going to be a horrifying experience.It was anything but,and that is all due to the wonderful instructor Severine.She went out of her way to make me,along with everyone else in the class feel so welcome,always offers lots of words of encouragement and plenty of tips to make the Pilates experience a better one.Her classes are always so fun,she generally goes out of her ways to make sure she knows the name of every single person who takes her class and always has a funny story to share with the class to make sure we dont get lost in the moment.She is the sole reason I have stuck to Pilates this long and the main reason I love being a member of this gym-she is a true asset to this location. In closing,if your in the market for a new gym experience I would without hesitation give this In-Shape location a shot-I feel you won't regret it.

    This place is being ran horribly.. broken equipment that doesn't get fixed for months... Sauna…read moresmells like a dead animal is in there. And if you try to quit? They will hit you with a $300 cancellation fee! The staff at In-Shape have destroyed this gym!
