Best Gyms with Free Weights 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.

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

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!
