LOVED it. Longer review for those with time to read :) I have been dying to find a place like this near me and stumbled upon it while on vacation. I was visiting North Star with friends and as a group fitness junkie, I signed up for the week-long pass at TMF. I was welcomed warmly by Holly, the co-owner. She gave me the perfect little orientation with zero sales pitch, made me feel right at home, and then she jumped right into teach our class. I took Lower Body Strength, Body Pump, HITT and Core Strength over a few days and wished I could stay longer to try more, including the immersive spin class (think spin bikes in front of a movie screen - how cool). I also did a body composition analysis with Holly and wish I had time to use the infrared sauna. Virginia and Holly taught the classes I took. I really appreciate how much time Virginia spent with me to ensure I was lifting properly during HIIT (which was awesome and challenging!). Everyone was super friendly, including the class regulars. It can be intimidating to walk into a new gym and try to merge into group fitness, but everyone made me feel right at home. I will go back every time I'm in North Lake Tahoe.

Just wow. Super friendly staff and fantastic classes.

I exercise regularly, but their classes are just next level. Feel like a beast coming out of body pump and body combat classes. Makes me feel like I have been working out wrong this whole time?! Class type diversity is awesome - also have Barre, boxing, cycling and strength training. Location super convenient. Highly recommend!

Love the outdoor area and ability to roll up the doors in summer (and having a cold plunge), and the saunas in the winter. Plentiful parking, helpful staff (thank you Michael) and diverse range of guest passes, daily/weekly/5-10 visit, to try out or when visiting friends or relatives. Towels, cleaning stations, tidy lockers and showers, high ceilings/great circulation, A-plus gym in all respects.

I have gone to this studio twice while I was visiting the Truckee area. I do Barre classes in San…read moreJose, and I wanted to keep up on my practice while I was out of town. First, the studio is great - the room is spacious and clean, and they have a lot of great equipment, things my normal barre class doesn't even use (like these little ball weights, long stretchy bands and small stretchy bands). The people are also very welcoming. The class itself was great - as with all the Barre classes I've done, you work abs, seat, thighs and arms and this class did a great job at all of those, the exercises were just slightly different than I'm used to, but it was quick to pick up and was a nice change. Note to those of us who lives in the flatlands....drink plenty of water. You are in the mountains and you'll dehydrate much quicker than you realize. The first time I did this class, it really wiped me out. I realized later it was that I did not drink enough water with my workout. I highly recommend coming to this studio!

As a disciplined gym pro that has visited several gyms throughout major cities, i do enjoy High…read moreAltitude Truckee as a home gym for its cleanliness and variety of workout equipment. People are very athletic here and that's encouraging. Yes sometimes the men's locker room is stinky during rush hour and its okay cuz i'll go first thing in the morning and i notice they have a nightly cleaner. Overall, the ambiance is great with appropriate background music. The only issues ever have been the dauna that broke down a couple months ago but that usually is common in high volume gyms, especially when the heater is abused. This is a tourist/transient town so im sure it's not the regulars that mistreat it. The sauna was really hot yesterday especially for its large size. I love the fact that there's a water bucket and ladle to keep the experience prime. Last Sunday sucked though because apparently they closed an hour earlier than their posted schedule. It's understandable as i do know they are looking for a new manager, says the ad they posted. I believe they'll get a solid manager soon maybe one that can help with both locations as i frequent the one in Incline way more. Thats a great location as well. Hardly ever any issues. The owners do great with both and i'm excited to see who the new manger is.

Pros: - the rack room is great…read more- good selection of new equipment - gym area is clean - cheapest gym option in truckee (but that's not saying much) Cons: - equipment/sauna repairs take forever - locker rooms not very clean/well maintained - employees consistently no-show, making the 6am opening extremely unreliable - management seems to prefer being combative with customers over trivial things rather than doing what makes sense (just put a dirty towel receptacle by the exit already) - WAY overpriced, ridiculous fees, horrible guest pass options, and arbitrary restrictions on membership benefits, even though you're paying full price (and then some) for said membership - they unapologetically jump on every opportunity they can to GOUGE you with extra fees, requirements, and irrelevant timelines to initiate/cancel, etc...and they seem almost proud to do so
