Best Gym near Folsom, California

I almost didn't join because of the low score reviews. But man am I glad I did. Everyone is incredibly nice, I have no idea what the other reviews were going on about. The kids club is amazing. They have an organized activity every hour, our daughter loves it. They have a super shallow indoor pool we can swim with her in. They have a ton of spin classes. They just had free pictures with Santa. This place is a no brainer for us.

Gorgeous gym, with absolutely everything you can think of. Membership is a premium membership ($199/person and up) yet there's all the top of the line equipment, different temperature pools, wet/dry sauna, hot tubs, showers, and much much more. New pickleball courts are also available to be used, but bring your own equipment. You can even leave your kids for up to 3hrs where they will be supervised at a dedicated daycare.

I love working out at this gym. There is something for everyone. From the free weights, machines, classes, pools, and so much more. Hands down this is a great value. The gym is always clean and the staff is committed to you having an amazing experience. I highly recommend Lifetime Athletic.

Update: Cleanliness has gotten worse. The pools and hot tubs look as if they haven’t been cleaned since opening. The hot sauna is constantly down. The steam room smells so bad. The front door has been broken for months. The general manager responds saying he is personally handling things but I’m not really sure what that means since things continue to get worse. Rates keep going up but the money is not being put back into the facilities. This place could be so amazing with the right leadership. Sad… The cleanliness has really gone downhill. We go in right at opening and you would think it would be on the cleaner side. Everything is dirty and makes the facilities smell bad. The locker room sinks and benches are never clean, steam room is dirty and smells of mildew, and the hot tub area I don’t think has been cleaned since they opened. The amount of people is getting out of hand due to all the new construction and it may be time to open another location.

Dirty pools, bad management and the class schedules are inconvenient. I have been a member here for the past 3 years or so. This used to be one of the best gyms in Folsom. Now, the pools are dirty, Class schedules are oriented towards making you take personal training. The group classes are also very bad with most trainers. I have found peloton classes to be better compared to some of them offered at this Gym. I have taken personal training here as well. The PT I was with was constantly changing exercises in every class. When asked why so many changes, I was told it is to make me familiar with a wide variety of exercises. I took 10 PT session and I didn't learn much nor achieve my goals. I provided feedback on my experience on the App. There was no resolution to my feedback. I spent over $1K on PT and the management doesn't even have the courtesy to fix the problem. The gym is also over crowded as many people here have grandfathered plans hence paying 50% compared to the new members.

I decided to change gym. To be honest, I don't regret coming here, it's very clean and cozy, the staff here are very polite and kind. I liked it very much. And I recommend it to everyone!

I visited this PF twice in December. This place must be brand new. The cardio equipment here is newer and nicer than my home club in NJ, the locker room and water fountain is immaculate and well maintained. I hope my home gym gets a makeover exactly the way this club is designed but if not looking forward to going back.

Employee at the cashier was very rude and refused to sell me muscle milk, would not recommend. I am a minor and they allowed me inside for free with the high school summer pass just to show 18+ unsuitable for minors content on the TVs. This us frankly disgusting behavior. Nudity should not be allowed in a business that beckons young children inside their establishments.

Planet Fitness on East Bidwell in Folsom is by far the nicest of their gyms I have gone too! Cleanliness is superior. The staff are helpful and kind! Great experience! Workout, tanning bed and hydro massage!

I’ve been going to this gym since it opened. I like how clean it is and how new the equipment is. My complaints are two things, when I switched from black membership to classic, it immediately changed me, even though I had just paid for a whole month of black 2 days prior. My second complaint is it’s consistently hot in here, doesn’t matter how many people or what time of day, and I don’t feel this way about other PF locations. It’s frustrating when you’re working out and it’s too hot, I’d rather pay more if it meant better AC.

Facility is clean and has plenty of parking spots. We like that there’s always a lane for my son to lap swim. Staff are friendly and professional. Shout out to Courtney the assistant manager she’s awesome! She’s kind and very helpful whenever we needed assistance with my son’s membership. Thank you In Shape!

I wish I lived in the area so I could frequent this gym more often. This is a beautiful two-story fitness facility with a huge pool and even a barbecue area where you can eat lunch and do pull ups. The entire facility was very clean and I don’t think I saw one piece of equipment that was, broken or being fixed anywhere. They have basketball, racquetball, a kids club, and a pretty large and spacious locker room. I also really appreciated the large number of hand sanitizing dispensers in the facility.

I have felt successful and motivated working with Serena, a personal trainer at In-Shape in Folsom. She listened carefully to my goals and challenges and has designed workouts to address both. I’m sure I would not be this far along on my journey without her expertise and encouragement. I also appreciate the wide variety of machines and equipment available and that they are kept clean. Joining In-Shape and then springing for a personal trainer were great decisions.

Great place to workout! Everything is clean and plenty of machines to use. My favorite part about this gym is the pre and post workout drinks and shake option. Definitely will recommend anyone to sign up here!

I enjoy going to In Shape gyms and can see they are constantly trying to keep verything updated and well cared for, like the equipment. This is a very family oriented gym and there is a lot to do there and many option for people to either get back into shape or maintain their current physique. I enjoy attending and so does my family as well. Also, staff is very kind and courteous and they are constantly working to keep things in tip top shape and are also working very hard to keep the environment clean.

Can’t say enough about the wonderful employees here! Nico, James and Andrew are so helpful in explaining any questions I have. I’ve seen how they treat each client here with a level of respect and understanding of their individual needs when coming to inquire about a membership or just want some helpful feedback on their fitness goals. The gym is an array of people at different stages of thier fitness and everyone is respectful and shares equipment when needed; at least in my personal experience anyway💁🏻‍♀️ So when you have a teen son who appreciates his health & forces you to workout with him when he is home, you listen and go! I strongly suggest trying out Crunch gym!

They run HIIT class on floor so you have to listen to a coach yelling into a microphone while you workout. It’s ridiculous. Customer service is awful. Just go to planet fitness..cleaner cheaper and nicer

Friendly staff that are always smiling and willing to help with anything. I've never left without one of them saying good evening or have a good night. Chill friendly members also. Good vibe

Place is a scam and super dirty. Manager is a rude blonde woman and her employees obviously do not care about anything. I took this picture in the yoga room and they were everywhere. Absolutely disgusting I cancelled my membership the next day. Which by the way shouldn’t be a complicated thing. The manager was pressuring me to explain exactly why I was cancelling and kept trying to sell me different things. It was just super uncomfortable.

Worst gym in Folsom, Nico the new gm has let the level of cleanliness drop so far down the hole that when I addressed the lack of supplies to clean the machines the canceled my membership

My Gym in Folsom has been a great fit for my two year old son and four year old daughter. We decided to join because our friends couldn't stop raving about their unlimited classes and free play days (there's no catch)! They can participate in siblings class and/or individually. My children ask if we can go to My Gym every single day. It's age appropriate and fun. They love making new friends, and instructors are friendly and entertaining! The staff were very helpful with choosing a home class for my little ones, also explaining how to schedule future classes, making it easy to understand, and underwhelming! I've reached out to customer service regarding additional questions recently and was contacted immediately with helpful information the next day. I'm very impressed with the overall environment, the energetic team members, and how each program is planned efficiently for specific age groups!

I am so glad we found this place! Every staff member we’ve met has made it a point to interact with my 2 year old. My son tends to be very shy and they have been so patient and understanding! They are great with kids and have the balance of giving him space and also one on one attention. The gym itself is super clean and they disinfect regularly as well as encourage everyone to use hand sanitizer. I love the music they play and all of the activities they plan. The gym floor is switched up daily and you get unlimited classes! This is a great “yes space” for children to explore safely while still challenging themselves! My son has already tried new things after just a few days! Their curriculum is age appropriate and engaging. They also offer fun events throughout the year! This is a great opportunity to spend quality time with your child and meet other parents. My gym is the best part of our day. I cannot recommend it enough!

My 14 month old daughter absolutely loves going to My Gym! It is such a fun environment for kids. It’s only been a couple of weeks and she is already able to climb things she wasn’t able to on week one. The instructors are so encouraging but also understand when to not push a kids limits if they’re scared or unsure. I cannot say enough great things about this place. 10/10 recommend!

We used My Gym Folsom for my daughter’s 6th birthday party. Their new location in the Palladio is so nice! Booking the party online was easy and all the staff was always so helpful. They kept me updated with emails and phone calls to make sure everything goes smoothly for the party…and everything did! It was such a fun party! I loved that I got to enjoy it all and watch the party and not have to worry about any of the planning, order of events, set up and clean up. Such a great deal! The staff made the party fun and exciting and kept the kids entertained the whole time. They were patient with them, they laughed and played with them, and they made for a fun time for everyone involved. I am so happy with how everything turned out, and my daughter enjoyed her special party so much! I definitely recommend them for birthday parties!

Great customer service and my kids loved attending when they were younger! I totally recommend!

If I could I would rate my experience with this place a zero! I inquired about trying a class for my Grandaughter and after several messages and sending Haylee videos she requested, we still were not able to try a class. Its been 16 days. I give up. Her last request was for me to send a video of my Granddaughter running and doing a roundoff at the park after me telling her she is not comfortable with this since she has no tumbling experience. Why would she expect a kid to do this without being at a gym or not having experience. I mentioned several times she is a beginner. Such a frustrating experience. I would never support this business.

My girls love it there the coaches are great!

We just had our daughter's birthday at The Spot and it was fantastic! The energy, organization and patience with every child was incredible. Our birthday girl goes here weekly and for drop in with her brother.

The owner of this gym, Haylee, is the most sadistic, violent person I have ever encountered. I’ve seen her physically and verbally abuse her customers and delivery people. I will never be associating with this gym again. This is a great place to go if you want to leave feeling terrible about yourself. Haylee ran over my dog last year and never once apologized to me. It’s disgusting that people even support this woman.

Haley the owner shared some personal information in the middle of a custody battle and severely compromised my children's livelihood. Shame on her!

Such a great gym community. All the trainers are kind, motivating and passionate. Great fitness classes for everyone and fighting skills classes for all levels. Fun learning environment to build a solid base of skills including mma, bjj, boxing and Muay Thai.

I am highly disappointed with the owner of the gym who does not care about customer service and timely call back to voicemail left. I have been following up with them on voicemail for a refund. Whenever I call , it goes-on voicemail . I spoke only to a coach and manager who were of not much help. There is no call back or no refund issued from the owner. It’s been a month but still they don’t care to get back . I would not recommend UFC Folsom to anyone. Gym is nothing but a bunch of highly unprofessional people and owner.

Excellent school all coaches with real fighting experience and martial arts school qualifications Muay Thai, Kick Boxing, and Boxing.. you show up you will improve quickly highly recommend it!

The instructors are incredibly helpful and caring. It’s a great place for beginners to learn and also perfect if you have some experience and want to turn up the heat. Mike the manager and all of the coaches have gone out of their way several times to make sure I’m getting everything I want and more out of my membership. Amazing culture, sweet atmosphere, and I can’t recommend this place enough.

If you’re looking for a different training/fitness style than the standard box gym, this place is a great option. The coaches are experienced and motivating, and the classes are high energy and enjoyable. All walks of life and skill levels are welcome, and everyone walks away feeling like they challenged themself. Small group classes provide a nice comraderie

I started coming here almost a year ago and it's the best decision I made. The coaches are always encouraging, helping me improve my form, or pushing me to reach higher limits with weight choice. The challenges are always fun (well, except for Orange Everest) and I love to see my progress with each new one on the app to see if I achieved a new personal record. The best part by far, are all of the people you meet. In addition to being a great workout, it's my social hour in the morning as well. Bonus that my sister goes to a Bay Area Orangetheory and we compare challenge results. 😎

I have been working out here for over 8 years and this format has kept me in the best shape. The coaches are always encouraging and the classes are challenging, yet can allow you to go at your own pace. The best part is the community of other members.

Orangetheory folsom is such a great place to workout. The classes are heart rate based. Different workout every day the coaches instruct and demo for you so you just have to show up. The front desk staff are so professional and sweet young people there are also clean showers if you need to head out to work. Orangetheory Folsom is the best!!!!

Love coming here and seeing my favorite coaches ! Shout out to Coach Su and Coach John ! They keep me motivated and pushing me to the next level. Love the girls at Check in shout out to Taylor what a sweetie always remembers my favorite stations and Birthday 🥳 love you girl and thank you 😊

MY NEW FAVORITE GYM! I love how dynamic the workouts are, I love the coach support and encouragement, I love the other members and how they treat each other like family. I also love that I can go 6-7 days per week and I don't feel like I'm over-working or injuring my body. The heart rate ranges let me know when I need to lower my intensity or when I need to pick it up, so its a great way of keeping my body safe while increasing my fitness!

It was my first cyclebar class/ first cycling class in awhile and I attended Kristin's Black Friday ride ... let me tell you... this girl knows how to have FUN! Daisy was so helpful at the front and Kristin really brought it home with such a strong intense class. It was such a great workout and I will definitely be back again when I'm in town :) Anyone know how I can get her playlist? lol

I love Cycle Bar.!!! I have been there since they opened 2 years ago!!! Cycle bar has changed my attitude, my physical strength and my overall health. Remember, your health is your wealth!!! The staff is so polite and helpful at all times! It is a pleasure to be with very positive and upbeat people while improving my overall well being ! Congratulations Cycle Bar!!! I love you all!!! Judy

Best workout experience I've ever had. I started out riding 4x times a month and quickly upgraded to an unlimited membership. The community Cyclebar creates is one of a kind. All the instructors are amazing and truly motivate you during the ride! The front desk staff is always warm and helpful too :) Would highly recommend them to all!

2/20/24 - I wrote the review below over a year ago and wanted to provide an update...I still LOVE it here!! I still love the vibe, in fact crave it and the energy in the studio is exactly what I need to unwind from my chaotic life!! I've made some really amazing friends too along the way and feel lucky to be a part of this community. :) I absolutely LOVE CycleBar Folsom!! Such an amazing community of people...everyone is so encouraging and supportive of your goals and milestones, from the owners, employees, instructors and members!! It is my new happy place for sure to get a kick a$$ workout!! If you haven't tried it yet, get in there and kickoff your fitness goals with 3 FREE rides!! :)

Last Friday, my sister and I attended a Girls Pop theme spin class with Hannah, and it was an absolute blast! The entire staff was incredibly friendly, supportive, and eager to assist us in getting started. The studio was electric and was such a fun vibrant atmosphere. I'm definitely looking forward to returning!

Absolutely love the HOUSE!!! A great gym with an even greater community!!! Every coach has a welcoming and friendly personality, with lots of experience and knowledge to make every member feel confident in their abilities to improve as an athlete!!! If you want to feel motivated and see actual results!! Come to Powerhouse, you won’t be disappointed 💪🏽

A wonderful community of fitness lovers at various levels. If you haven’t tried Powerhouse Fitness in Folsom, do it now! The coaches are very knowledgeable and encouraging. There are various class times that can fit many schedules and they even offer classes for teens! Thankful that this community has helped me not only mentally but physically as well! I’m in the best shape of my life!

I''m hooked!! I'm someone who enjoys a variety of workouts. I've taken hit, spin, boxing, yoga classes...you name it. But the community here at powerhouse has kept me coming back consistently! I love and appreciate their attention to technique and safety. No matter your skill level, they want you to excel! Both mentally and physically, and they make sure your technique is right and your body is safe. I cannot recommend powerhouse enough!!

Powerhouse Fitness is a 5 star ⭐️ gym. The wealth of knowledge, community, and compassion is the best around. I can’t say nothing but great things about it. At PHF everyone supports each other. It doesn’t matter your fitness level, you will be included and supported. It is definitely a healthy place it get fit in variety of ways. Definitely worth attending a class & seeing for yourself.

Powerhouse fitness is unlike any other gym. It is family! The coaches are experienced both in fitness and nutrition. Workouts are modified depending level of fitness. The energy at Powerhouse is motivating and welcoming. I love my time in the gym! Highly recommend!
