But I don't find it lacking in equipment or facilities with way more things that I even want to use. I have read more than one review saying the staff is curt and unfriendly but they have all always been gracious to me. I'm always greeted with a welcome, have a good work out and exit with a Have a good rest of your day. I'm pushing 70 years old and even the youngest staff members are always friendly towards me. I toured a few of the other health club/gyms when I first moved to the area but In-Shape fit my needs best. I overheard in conversation among other club members they are expanding the facility. I never think to ask the staff so not sure what is going on there. Would be nice if they added a mini-basketball court.

I was thinking it might be a typical fitness 19 or Planet Fitness vibe, but it was quite the opposite. The gym is small, but it offers a surprising variety of workout options, kind of a mix between UFC Gym and an EOS with an on-site pool, sauna, and Jacuzzi. I also found another workout room last-minute, which was a bit weird, but if you like it very quiet, that room is perfect for you. The check-in process involved filling out all my info, which was a bit of a drag. The guy working there didn't do much except direct me where to fill things out. Overall, it's a nice gym with okay service

From the other trainers to the clients, everyone there is friendly and fun, while also taking their training seriously. Mikey has me excited about training again, staying healthy and I am extremely comfortable with his training style and how he pushes me safely and I feel like I am back where I belong and in just a few weeks I already see the difference.

After moving from Chicago to Palm Springs, I was searching for a gym that combined community with…read morethe kind of workouts I love. Having done CrossFit for seven years, I wanted a place that offered strength training, HIIT, and personal coaching, but also felt welcoming and motivating. Fit in 42 delivers on all of that. The community is strong and supportive, and the coaches give each person real attention. I mostly do the semi-private training sessions, max six people per class, and it feels like having a personal trainer who also keeps you connected to a team. I also love dropping into the 42 Strong HIIT classes for an extra push. The coaches here are excellent!! Every one of them sets the bar high for both expertise and encouragement. The workouts are challenging, well-structured, and varied, and the coaches know how to tailor them to individual goals. What stands out most is that this gym is more than just a place to work out. It is a place where you feel part of something, and where results and connection go hand in hand. Not only have I been meeting my fitness goals, but I've also made lifelong friends here. Joining Fit in 42 has been one of the best decisions I've made since moving to Palm Springs. Show up once and you'll see why.

I then spoke with a member who agreed to bring me in and returned to complete check-in. At that point, I was told I could not enter due to the nature of my relationship with the member, which directly contradicted the earlier instruction I was given at the front desk. When I asked for clarification on the correct guest access policy, the interaction escalated. The staff member (Anton) raised his voice in front of other members, refused to allow me to speak with anyone else, stated I could not enter, and said that police would be called. Police were called and arrived on site. During the interaction, the staff member continually made unprofessional comments such as "go do pushups in the parking lot," which was unnecessary given the situation. Overall, the experience involved inconsistent instructions, unclear enforcement of guest policy, and an unnecessary escalation of what should have been a straightforward guest check-in. I felt personally discriminated against and would not recommend this gym to anyone.
