Instructors come in with great energy and clear structure, organizing lessons well so participants do not get lost. They are highly engaged, observant, and available for questions. Trainers are supportive and helpful, adamant about correct form and modifying exercises for injuries, while also urging members to put their best effort forward. This approach allows individuals with past injuries to workout safely and feel amazing. The gym offers flexibility with different membership packages, such as three times a week or unlimited visits, accommodating various fitness goals. Outside of group classes, individual training sessions are also available. The facility includes practical amenities like parking, bathrooms, and showers, with spray disinfectant provided for cleaning equipment.

I took a combination, HIIT and yoga class when I was visiting from Florida. It was a great class and the instructor was very good. I highly recommend!

I train here with Jeff Boe-Hagalies and truly can’t recommend him enough. He works incredibly well with teen athletes and adults, and he’s extremely attentive to proper form. His focus is always on building strength safely and preventing injury — which I really appreciate as a parent.

Hands down the best gym in Sac. Tons of space, every piece of equipment you could ever need. Options for group fitness as well as some great independent trainers. A great community to be a part of!
