California Family Fitness

Have all the necessary equipment. A yoga room, also an area to do ones own stretches, squats, ab workout. It’s a little small space wise the equipment is not the latest but does what it needs to if you know how to to use it, but the showers are clean and there is a ton of parking. Opens at 5:00am Monday to Friday.

First off: GO TO JASMINE GONZALEZ’S TABATA BOOTCAMP CLASSES!!! They are a killer workout and SO much fun!
I joined Cal Fit in January and have loved it ever since. I mainly went to the Howe Ave, Alhambra and Natomas locations but all of the ones that I ever used I had a great experience at. The staff is so friendly and the gym environment is great. Craig signed me up back in January and every time he sees me he greets me by my name and will ask how I am or even how other family members of mine are doing that he knows belong to the club. Him and the rest of the staff are genuine and I really appreciate it. The facilities and equipment are always clean and I am never fighting for a machine or spot to workout/​stretch.
If you are looking for an amazing class to attend go to Jasmine’s Tabata Bootcamp!!! I have always been self motivated to workout but Jasmine has made me come to motivate/​appreciate the workouts that I always hated. I used to mainly be a runner but now I love things like lifting, squats, burpees, lunges (Crazy, I know! She’s that good) Her class has great motivating music and the class is structured for all levels which is awesome. I am 23 and in pretty good shape and the class kicks my butt, yet my mom who is 62 also comes and gets a great workout because Jasmine is great about providing modifications/​alternative moves for anyone that needs it! On top of that Jasmine herself is SUPER friendly, genuine and keeps you motivated throughout the class. She has a great energy and makes you push yourself to get a great workout in while keeping it exciting. She loves getting feedback from people in order to improve/​customize the class in anyway she can and she actually follows through with it. I have requested a certain type of workout and even certain songs and she put them in the following weeks class for me! I also twisted my ankle one day in her class and she was so nice and texted me the next day to check in and see how I was doing. I just moved to San Diego so unfortunately I can’t attend anymore but on my last day of class she had a goodbye card for me. It was so thoughtful and just shows how she always goes the extra mile because she genuinely cares about you! It’s little things like that that set her apart and make her a stellar instructor. I never write reviews but she is so amazing and I have never appreciated a workout/​class like hers! I highly highly encourage anyone and everyone to come in and give her class a try, you won’t regret it. You will get a killer workout in and actually have fun while doing it. She has a few at different locations throughout the entire week which is awesome!

This gym is one of the smaller California Family Fitness locations. They don’t have a pool or a steam room like some of the other facilities. I use this gym often because it’s next to my house and its hardly ever crowded, which is a huge plus. Their staff are super friendly, like many of their other locations and they keep it very clean.
Something to know before you come here is that the locker rooms do not have the key code locks so you need to bring your own if you plan on using one of the lockers. Another thing is they don’t have a designated stretching area. They have a place where they keep their mats and rollers but you feel like you’re in the way and only two people can be in this area at the same time.
I will continue to go to this location because its the closest to my house but I like some of the bigger locations better.

This is a great little cozy gym with very friendly staff and clean cardio floor. I enjoy the classes very much I have tried so far and the other clients are friendly as well. It is never too crowed even during busy times which is important to me and I am always very comfortable. My new fave class is Monday’s at noon with T. It’s a great fun workout and she is wonderful at making you comfortable for your first time. Thursday yoga at 430 is very relaxing and I believe it is more of a beginning type class but I enjoy the serenity. I have more classes to check out but am very pleased so far I chose this particular gym.

I’ve only been to this location a couple times, and it has its positives and negatives, but the staff are wonderful which puts it at a 4 instead of 3 stars.
The first time I came to this one, I didn’t know that the lockers weren’t the key-​code lockers like at other locations. That was a little frustrating, but they had locks for sale at the front desk for only $ 5 and some change. The girl I spoke to, Jessica (she’s the operations manager), sold me the lock and we chatted for a few. I had mentioned that it would be helpful to have that kind of information on the website and she said that was a great idea and she’d write that down, which I totally appreciate, especially since I like to try the different locations and knowing minor details like that can really make or break it.
Okay, negatives first:
— Everything is in one big room. I felt like I had to walk around for awhile to get an idea of where the machines were.
— Had to buy that dang lock…
— No designated stretching area. I had to stretch in front of an employees only door behind some guy lifting weights. Doesn’t exactly seem safe.
Positives!
— Everything is in one big room. Yeah, I know, it counts for both. It’s nice to not have to wander around to different rooms like at other clubs. This helps them get more machines in, too.
— MUCH CARDIO. SUCH MACHINES. WOW BIKES!
— Great location. Easy to find and tons of parking.
This location is close to my work so I tend to come here if I want to get in before the rush. I’ll probably continue to come to this location once or twice a week!

Ok I’m feeling the ying yang component of life sending me energy to right an imbalance in the force. I’ve only reviewed food spots thus far so now I’m completing the synergy!
This Cal-​fit is great! It’s very cozy but if you’re able go at the right times… It’s a pot of gold! I usually go when they first open up and it’s like an adult playground with no wait times. I get the pick of the litter of the machines and or weights no problem. You get in a good, hard, quick workout no sweat, except what’s on your face!
The staff is even better, always greeting you and more than willing to accommodate your request for a particular TV channel that you may desire. I highly recommend joining or at least checking it out. There… The cycle has been completed! Balance restored. NAMASTE

This little gym has a friendly staff and plenty of choices for all kinds of workouts. The kids club is great for the kiddos, the staff always make my boys feel welcome.
While this is a small gym without the bells and whistles of some of the bigger clubs I enjoy the low key and friendly atmosphere here…

I feel stuck in a contract. It’s expensive and in November they charge you an extra $ 30 for «upgrades» for the gym. Wow. As soon as my contract is up I’m switching to somewhere that doesn’t charge and arm and a leg.

The staff here is super friendly. They greet me and always wish me a good evening. The instructors are patient and so supportive.
This place is hardly pack so I never have to deal with waiting.
You should try the bodyfit course. Man it really works your whole body.

Oh my, this is the smallest CalFit I have ever been too! I generally go to the one on Laguna in Elk Grove but have also been to the one in Natomas as well as the one in Rancho Cordova. This location is quite quaint. There are numerous cardio machines, a few weight machines and a decent amount of free weights. The locker room was a bit disappointing as they don’t have the digital lockers here like they do elsewhere. Overall not a bad spot. I was here just after 5 on a week day and the gym barely filled up, so this is the location for you if you don’t like having a lot of people around.

Everyone is pleasant. Staff helpful. Great gym.
if you need to getter done quickly. As its a small branch.
Has daycare, snacks, tanning, and any lil gym necessity you need if you forgot it at home.
Your not gonna get a real high energy atmosphere here. But gym still very effective.

No complaints here, friendly quick checking in at the front, plenty of equipment yet not too much stuffed into a joint this size. Seems if have my gym stuff in my truck there are many gyms around town to keep me busy.

This is the MOST disgusting place I have ever been to! The women’s shower room was worse than any outdoor camping showers! After my shower I feel like I need to take a shower!
The lady at the front was ridiculously rude at 5am! really lady its 5 am! I don’t need you attitude young lady! appears to be only 20 years old, the entire place is ran down, the machines tired and old.
I only went here today because I thought it would make my commute from roseville easier because I work in Sacramento! NOT WORTH IT!
I will return back to my Rocklin Cal Fit! I am amazed this is a Cal Fit at all, disgusting place!

It’s a cozy. Yeah, that’s code for it’s small. It can get crowded at times and while the place looks a little run down and shabby — the staff are very nice and it’s a perfectly fine gym. When it comes to fitness I’m all about convenience and with easy parking, close to my work — this is where I’m trying to build my fitness habits. I really like the Natomas location, but this one is closer and that’s what matters.

Well, Antony (who is that?) decided to spam many smartphones with a coupon deal for California fitness, I’m on the no call list and that carries an $ 11,000 penalty for California Fitness, since it’s tied directly into the coupon special-​yes, you can be sued for this because you can trace Antony to your business, and are liable for his actions (you have to tell the truth in court, under subpoena. I recommend catching this guy, it’s $ 11,000 per message.

This gym definitely deserves at 4.5 because of the staff. The manager, trainers, and even front desk people are always super friendly, patient and very understanding. The gym equipment is old but kept in pretty good condition and there are a plethora of fitness classes throughout the day, almost every day.
Main drawback is the small size of this CalFit. Even so, I have never had to wait for a cardio machine. Biggest plus, is that the staff know you by name and give you tips to make the most of your work out. I have never been to a gym that has a staff this friendly and where there is ample parking.

Perhaps I’ve been spoiled by the other calfits, but this is by far the smallest, cramped, and smelliest calfit I’ve ever stepped foot into. They don’t have a key tag check-​in machine like the other calfits, and it isn’t well-​ventilated either. The neighborhood isn’t the greatest, so I had concerns that my car may be broken into while I was in the gym.
For the hefty price tag of the membership, I would not waste my time and workout at this calfit. It is not worth my money or time. Calfits are award-​winning gyms for a reason, and this gym does not stand-​up to those higher standards.

I went to this location for the first time, for the noon Zumba Class. Joy was the instructor & she kicked our butts! This class is a blast.
We danced non-​stop for 55 minutes, doing some chacha, salsa, yeah, it was a straight sass attack.
Women of ALL ages & sizes came in & danced. As a newbie, I felt totally welcomed. There was no competition or judging. Everyone was happy to be dancing with everyone!
The front desk staff were very friendly, the gym is clean and the fellow patrons are nice.
Try it!

I was visiting friends for a weekend, and I somehow made the indirect suggestion to hit up the gym the next day because of all the food we had eaten. I’m still wondering what came over me for suggesting to work out while on vaca.
My buddy said he had a membership at calfit and said it was an awesome gym. Now, not to assume, well okay I guess you could call it an assumption to think that sacto was just a few notches under so cal when it came to, well, everything. Especially since I had lived here for a bit and was dying to go back home within a couple years. Oh wow, calfit was one of the few places that made me think twice about that.
This gym is the mecca of fitness centers! The facility was huge, and had two humungous floors of equipment and workout rooms. I was such in awe, and gosh I am never in awe of a gym of all places.
The machines were abundant, I mean abundant, and they had so many different options to do practically the same excerise. Everything seemed really new and clean as well.
The pool area is really awesome. Looking down from outside the upstairs window, it almost looked like a mini resort/​spa.
Doesn’t appear that this gym gets too crowded either. Not like the gyms here where your’re practically bartering for machines.
No one was invasive here. Contrary to LA /​OC gyms where people show up with a secondary (if not primary) agenda to hit on people. I didn’t get that vibe here. There was maybe a guy or two that stopped to talk but did not get in personal space.
I really wish we had a calfit, or at least something of the same caliber of a gym round here. Til then, I’ll just go on living without a gym membership…

Coed, Previous Location was on Fulton Ave.
