I used to lifeguard here in the mid-90s (and grew up going in the early 80s), so I remember this place in its heyday. It was the place to be! So, while back in the 209 for a month to visit family and friends, I decided to whip on out and take advantage of the 24 hour day pass to see what it looked like. I’d visited a few years ago and noticed it looked like it was in a state of disrepair, so I wasn’t sure what to expect on this visit, but I have to say, it was great! The P.E. firm that has taken over the chain has done a GREAT job resurrecting it with tons of new machines, a stacked weight room, really nice new locker rooms (love the built in combo locks!) and even a community co-ed sauna (nice touch). The pool was sparkling, MUCH warmer than I remember it being and had comfy new chairs and loungers. It was really busy, front desk staff were friendly and attentive, and overall, I was thoroughly impressed. Mort and Rob would be proud to see it thriving the way it is. Well done to the new owners and staff!

Manager Teresa and Joseline are the kindest people in the world, it always feels like family here. It's more than a gym, it's a community club, and I love everything they host and do for families. I brought my mom and fiancee to the Summer Bash and it was a great summer afternoon to float in the pool surrounded by such happiness.

I love open-play pickleball. When well run, it maximizes playing time and greatly enhances the social aspect of the game. The courts here are excellent, but the open-play is pathetic. Instead of paddle up for ALL courts, you paddle in for a SINGLE court. Unless you win a lot, this means a lot of bench time between games. It also promotes cliques, the opposite of true open-play. In my two morning visits here, there weren't many players actually playing, and mostly the same ones on the same courts all the time. Outdoor courts were completely empty! I can't wait to get back to my regular courts, where they do open-play right.

I believe this is the flagship and original In Shape gym. It's very big and has the largest collection of pickleball courts in all of Northern CA according to one of the staff. We're members in Sacramento but come here sometimes if we happen to be in the area. There's many fitness machines, free weights, classrooms, a huge lap pool that can hold up to 200 people, pretty decent locker rooms, a half-court basketball court, and tennis courts too. We also like the 29m circuit workout area right at the front lobby area of the gym for those who are short on time. However, the women's locker room has several areas in disrepair, like the steam room, the showers need a lot of cleaning and maintenance, and the sink areas also need quite a bit of fixing. Another thing is there's no juice/smoothie bar here, only vending machines and over the counter drinks and fitness snacks. Overall this gym is very big and has everything you can think of. I also like that it has the towel service which is really nice.
