This review is long overdue, Vital Athletics is top notch. Joe goes above and beyond to make sure you succeed with your fitness goals. His group classes are not your typical cookie cutter big box gym hour sessions. Joe is there making sure your technique is on, you are pushing yourself safely, and improving your fitness. read more

I've been training with Joe and Ryan for about 6 months now and I could not be any happier! The two continuously encourage me to become the best version of myself and help push me out of my comfort zone to do things I never thought I was capable of but can not imagine my life without now. For anyone who is looking to change their life around, come to Vital Athletics!! read more

Vital Athletics is unlike any other gym I've attended. Unlike other group fitness classes, each class is maxed out at 6 people, so you get the benefit of personalized attention but also the camaraderie of working out with others. Joe, the owner, is enthusiastic and has a unique ability to tap into your strengths while also knowing when to push you harder. He also offers comprehensive nutritional guidance, which has completely changed the way I eat. Since I started working out here, I've been able to lift heavier than I ever thought I could. I highly recommend this gym, it's life changing. read more

If there was a rating greater than 5, Joe would get it! Joe is the most passionate, skilled and engaged trainer I've had the pleasure of working with. He has incredible tact and always has his member's best interest at heart because he truly cares about people. Aside from how awesome he is to be around, he is also incredibly good at what he does. Every workout is different, unique, and intentional. You'll leave the gym feeling like your body just went through a major transformation, and with a little bit of time and commitment that's exactly what your body will do. In 1 year of consistency with Joe I lost all 60 pounds of my post-pregnancy weight and I am in better shape now than I was before I had my 2nd child. Joe shows up for you just as much as you show up for yourself, and sometimes more. One of the things I appreciate most about Joe is he pays attention and keeps your safety in mind in every workout. He holds you accountable while encouraging you to do better. If you're looking to transform yourself, this is the place to do it. All you have to do is show up and take care of yourself outside of the gym. read more

Vital Athletics - 1 year progress: Before at 175 pounds. After at 125 pounds. - Circuit Training Gyms Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

Great gym and atmosphere. The classes are small so it feels more like personal training than a group class. Joe is good at mixing up the workouts, adjusting to your specific needs, and pushing you to be better. Would recommend to anyone in the area. read more

Best workout all year. I travel all over to different gyms across the country CrossFit, orange theory, Barry's, other HiiT and functional classes and this was easily the best.few reasons: 1. Format, you jump right in and get to move the whole hour. Warmup is part of the exercise and starts your heart rate 2. Attention, if you need help joe will help. Seriously, this is the biggest bonus, it's like 1:1 coaching. I never loaded a bar alone and there were 5 other people in the class who Joe also helped load their bars. It's a testament to joes passion for coaching. 3. Culture, It's cool, it's unpretentious, it's strong without being macho, Is reccomend it to my parents as well as my friend who deadlifts 400 pounds. Overall definitely going to come back. Recommend you try it out read more

I've been working out with Joe for over 18 months now. Mostly personal training but some group classes. All have been excellent. At nearly 70 I was a bit intimidated about working with a personal trainer but Joe's understanding of sports physiology, weight training and the needs and limitations of an older body put me at ease almost instantly. He plans individualized well rounded workouts while also spending some time on specific weaknesses. Joe is always on time, always prepared and always fun to work out with. Joe's work goes beyond the time you spend in the gym. He regularly sends articles and pod casts relating to training and a healthier lifestyle. I would absolutely recommend Joe and Joe's Gym. read more

Working out with Joe as my coach has been an awesome experience. He truly cares and it shows with the quality of workouts he programs and the energy/enthusiasm he brings every day. I highly recommend Joe to anyone looking to step up their fitness and live a life that celebrates being healthy & physically fit. read more

Hands down the best work out I've ever had! Joe is an amazing trainer that gets results. He listens to you and your goals and has the knowledge to tailor workouts to achieve them. He dedicates so much of his time to his clients and truly wants them to succeed. 100% would recommend him to anyone!!! read more

Joe challenges you physically and mentally. I've done yoga, pilates, boxing, bootcamp, Orangetheory, personal training and small group training and he is by far the best trainer I've had. He knows your limits and still challenges you to give him more. I've been going to him for almost a month and I've already started to see a difference in my body. Highly recommend to anyone no matter what level of fitness you're at. read more

Joining Joes Gym has completely reenergized my fitness routine. He does a great job of mixing it up each day to keep it fresh and fun. Joe sets up the exact amount of weight needed for each exercise and is beyond knowledgeable in everything health and fitness. Everything is done with a purpose and specific goal in mind. He has a great balance of tough love and positive encouragement. The gym itself is always clean with fun music. I look forward to my workouts and have seen amazing results! read more

I've been training with Joe for almost 6 months now, and believe he is one of the most experienced & committed trainers around. I really enjoy the variety & challenge he put into the sessions!! Joe is focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every session challenging (& somehow fun). My fitness has increased noticeably and I've seen improvements in my ability to complete more sit ups / core exercises, lift progressively heavier weights & generally push myself harder throughout each session. I find I actually look forward to my workouts. His knowledge of fitness and attention to form, his flexibility in working with you to protect any injuries, and his easygoing but tough approach is superb. He offers encouragement and a gentle push when you need it. He corrects your form when you're getting tired and sloppy, and he balances the workout so you get the most out of your time with minimal rest, which means bigger bang for your fitness buck. read more

If I could give Joe 10 stars I would! He is hands down the best trainer in town! I have trained with him since 2016 and by far exceeds expectations you may have for a trainer. Each and every class seems to push your limits, get harder and help you achieve your goals. My wife and I are lifetimers for sure! He's so good I wake up at 4:00 am to attend his 5:00 am class. If you give him a shot you will not be disappointed. read more

Joe is the BEST trainer you will ever come across. He truly cares about his clients, what their goals are, and ensures to tailor the workouts based on our needs/goals/ and other ways to painfully kick our ass. Joe has all the qualities of an amazing trainer - he cares, has integrity, and extremely skillful in what he does - he knows his shit! And he knows exactly when/how to push us because he sees our capabilities. He gets us right to work from the time we walk in to the time we leave, plus some. No workout is ever the same, he's extremely creative in all his workouts and they will always kick your ass. He has "recovery days" :). We have been training with Joe for over 2 years now...he's one of kind. See Joe and DO BETTER! read more

If you're looking for a trainer that enjoys seeing you succeed in your training goals then look no further. Joe customizes the workouts for you and any physical limitations you may have. He always will challenge you to DO BETTER and you definitely will. Be sure to book a session with him , you have nothing to lose but your excuses. read more

Joe will challenge you with every workout. Previously a lead trainer at Orangetheory Fitness he creates workouts (different every time) that will kick your ass. Great place, lots of weights and motivation from members and staff. read more

I've lived a lot of places and been a member of MANY gyms in my life and Joe's is hands-down my favorite. Classes are small so you get that personal training feel. The owner, Joe, genuinely cares about the health and fitness of everyone who comes through his doors. He'll coach you, push you to new limits, take extra time out of his day to help you outside of gym hours AND he's never given me a hard time when I didn't have child care and had to bring my son to class. This place is a rare gem. read more
