Trainers near North Highlands

“This is a great little gym! I signed my boys up for classes to whip them into shape for baseball season next year. Ben really pushes them during the workout, teaching them correct form and making sure they are challenging themselves. Best of all, my boys have fun and look forward to the workouts! This gym has all of the equipment you’ll see in a big chain owned gym, without the big gym mentality. The owners Ben and Brooke really care about their members and you’ll feel like part of the family.“

“Short version:
Great classes for all fitness levels, fantastic instructors, and an amazing community. 10/10.

Long version:
I’ve been a member of Fitnello for just over six months, and the experience has truly been life‑changing. When I arrived for my initial consultation, I had never lifted weights and my background was limited to hot‑yoga practice.

My journey began with the group‑class prep session with Angelina. Her expertise and upbeat personality made the workout feel fun rather than intimidating. As I transitioned into regular group classes, I discovered a supportive community of women who were incredibly helpful and welcoming to newcomers.

Elina, the owner, now leads the evening sessions. She’s exceptionally knowledgeable and takes the time to explain the “why” behind each movement. She also teaches us how to track our weights and reps so we can increase volume in a safe, progressive manner.

Beyond the friendly atmosphere and expert guidance, I’ve seen tangible results: a 5 % reduction in body fat and a 5 % increase in muscle mass!

Fitnello delivers exactly what a modern gym should, effective workouts, knowledgeable staff, and an incredible community.“

“I loved it. For a person who is very out shape no one made me feel bad. They helped me even stretch my legs into straps. I highly recommend this place“

“The coaches are all wonderful & very attentive. It’s clean and there’s a great culture there. Happy to have found a gym home!“

“My PT Drew Reid was fantastic! Prior to having a total hip replacement in Nov ‘24, I went to another PT. It felt performative. On the other hand,my experience with KPPT/Drew felt collaborative because he listened to my needs, and as a result understood my lifestyle and the resources available to me. He suggested progressively more challenging PT routines based on my feedback and his expertise. I made tangible progress weekly and was able to get back to playing pickleball and cycling around 8 weeks after THR. That’s a huge win in my book! I continued to make tangible progress thereafter and even after “graduating” from PT continue to get stronger.“

“I had been interested in finding a personal trainer for some time, but always felt intimidated due to my lack of knowledge in the gym and also by the high price point. When I found Body By Vlad online, I immediately knew that it was different from other places I had found when researching local options. Due to the website’s complete transparency about the program’s offerings, the trainers, and the (surprisingly reasonable) pricing structure, I decided to take a chance and booked a free consultation with Linea. At the risk of sounding cliché, I had no idea that that decision would completely change my life. Linea was immediately so warm, friendly, and kind that I knew this gym was something I wanted to be a part of. And that is exactly what happens when you join…. you become a part of it. Right after my consultation, Vlad reached out to see if I had any questions and provided me with a recommended meal plan and exercise and stretching program based on the amount of time I had available during the week, and he incorporated equipment I had available to me at home. When you get inside the gym itself…there is no intimidation factor here – in fact, it often feels like your own private gym. The place is always immaculately clean (even the bathrooms, with available showers), and every piece of equipment is always in perfect working order. As for the guided workouts themselves – Linea teaches and leads with patience and grace, taking the time to explain what muscle groups I’m working, so that I always know I’m doing the exercise correctly and with proper form. Don’t get me wrong – the workouts are TOUGH, but the circuits are always mindfully varied and a lot of fun, and I always leave feeling proud knowing I’ve accomplished something challenging. I have also trained with Sean a couple of times, and he is amazing! I am approaching my one-year anniversary at this gym, and the improvement in my strength, both mentally and physically, in such a short amount of time, is absolutely mind blowing. Through this program, I have become so much more aware of nutrition. I also feel comfortable walking into a gym and working out on my own, and I have so much more confidence than I did when I first started.. I can’t wait to see the progress I’ll continue to make, and would encourage ANYONE to join this amazing space.“

“Honestly, I’ve been to so many gyms but this one by far is the best! Such a comfy and safe space. I’m a shy girlie so big/crowded gyms overwhelm me but this was the perfect size, had all the equipment I needed (and then some), and even the staff was nice! Got greeted as soon as I walked in by Peter! Thanks for the warm welcome :) Highly recommend and will be going back!“

“Walked in with extreme lower back pain. Met Susanna, who spent a considerable amount of time probing and massaging to find the Offensive muscles and joints that were causing the problem. She worked up a special set of exercises to strengthen the muscles and was very descriptive in explaining the Problem and solution. In two weeks, all pain was gone and I was back to enjoying my daily activities.“

“This has been by far the best experience I’ve ever had working out. David not only makes it enjoyable, but he pushes me to be the best version of myself every time I train with him. He is extremely knowledgeable and is always answering any questions I have about the workouts that we do, along with ensuring that I’m doing the workouts correctly (most trainers could care less, but not David!). Not only does he know what he’s doing, but he is by far one of the friendliest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. The overall experience has been amazing, and I’ve seen big improvements in myself since I’ve started going. I would recommend David to anyone I know who is interested in bettering themselves physically. If I could, I’d give him 10/5 stars. Thanks for the amazing experience David, the world needs more people like you!“

“We’ve had an incredible experience with Master Kim’s Taekwondo classes! My son has been attending for almost three years, and the growth in his confidence and skills has been amazing. Master Kim is an outstanding instructor—patient, knowledgeable, and always encouraging. He truly brings out the best in his students. The option for private lessons is also a fantastic bonus. Highly recommend!“

“Best gym in the area, the staff is super helpful and kind and the facility is always clean“

“Lovely gym for basic workout needs. I’ve been to plenty of gyms, and this is by far the cleanest one I’ve ever been to. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the bathrooms and facilities are well maintained.“

“Fair warning, this may be a long one…

Pros:
- Love the workouts.

- I don’t have to plan what I’m going to do or wonder if the equipment will be available at the gym.

- I know when I go I’ll be working hard the entire 45mins. Overall it’s a big time saver.

- even though it can be a bit fast paced, you can definitely lift slower/heavier if you really want to focus on strength and muscle building on their strength days so it’s customizable in that sense.

Cons:
- main reason for 4 stars, which I imagine lots of people will disagree with, is the music. It’s typical for gyms and workout classes, I’m sure, but it’s pretty vulgar. Before Christ regenerated my heart and made me new in Him, I listened to the type of music they play so I find myself constantly praying for the Lord to guard my mind before, during and after workouts.

- Along with that, even though they have an area for kids to play in (I’d say 5years and older) I wouldn’t bring my kids bc of the music. I get that they will be exposed to the ways of the world but I won’t willingly put them in a place where they are listening to that for nearly an hour, they are sponges!!!! And yes I realize it’s my choice to still attend and pay for the class… clearly this hasn’t become a dealbreaker for me yet, but would be one of the few reasons I leave if the Holy Spirit and word of God change my convictions in the future (that or investing in my own home gym set up).

Happy lifting!!!“

“This gym is very comfortable in not giving 'meat market vibes' and the staff is friendly and helpful. Glad I found it“

“This gym is perfect for those who want to start or just want a forever gym. It has plenty of equipment needed to build muscle in every part of your body. The environment and aura feels healthy as soon as you step in. The owner is very welcoming and helpful to everyone who walks through the door. I highly recommend checking this gym out.“

“Clean gym, equipment is good condition and repaired quickly, people are friendly. Did not mean to give a one-star review previously ??“

“If you are looking for great training, check it out! Casey will get you in shape faster than you think. I'm 56 and wasn't very confident...wrong! Nearly at my goal weight and feeling strong.“

“Pam has turned out to be so much more than I had expected in a personal trainer. She’s super knowledgeable, she’s always professional, and she’s a great teacher. Her own personal commitment to fitness and her dedication to teaching is always inspiring. It’s been a pleasure.“

“I love being a part of Fit Body Fusion! I have been coached by Angelica Teixeira for close to two years now , and I love it! She pushes me to reach my goals, and she is extremely knowledgeable,experienced, compassionate, and cares about my well-being. Each time I compete I do better and better with her guidance!“

“I’ve been training here since Oct 2021 and really enjoy my sessions! I meet with Curtis 2-3 times per week and have gotten stronger and improved my balance. All trainers here are well equipped for all body types and ages and make working out fun. I never did weight lifting before coming here but now feel very confident in my abilities!“

“The trainers at IW are welcoming and supportive. They genuinely accept each participant at any level and encourage us to challenge ourselves while being non judgemental when we are just getting started. I'm retired, and this workout studio has been a blessing. I feel so comfortable here with the small group workouts. Keeps me coming back. I could never be this consistent at a large gym where I was more just a face in the crowd. Some IW participants come with injuries, back problems, or are pregnant, and the trainers give modifications. They are really good about remembering the need for those modifications, as well as remembering the participants' individual goals and reason for being there. Seems like people tend to stay members for many years and are regulars at the workouts. That's impressive! There are about 5 trainers that lead the workouts. Each has a different style; they are all lovely humans. I encourage my friends to try different trainers when they start out. Whether you want to build back your muscle mass (like I do), or you want something else: to be buff, or to lose weight and keep it off, or you just want to live a healthy life-- this is a Sacramento gem. The fixed fee covers as many workouts as you want. Even though it is more than the monthly fee I've paid at any gym, it is so worth it. I've never been this consistent or hooked on workouts. So grateful I finally walked through those doors.“

“A wide variety of equipment (machines and free weights) and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly.“

“I was fortunate enough to get invited to Life Changer Training Institute and I’m so glad I did. Rudy is an awesome life coach! I just started my journey just over a month ago and already seeing results with strength, energy & focus. I wanted to get my body in shape at 50, but realized one of the biggest benefits of Life Changer is getting your mind in shape! As a small business owner, I am always looking for ways to improve and Rudy helped me create a winning mindset that I can use in all aspects of my life. Highly Recommended!!“

“Heart Zones has been the leader in using heart rate data to motivate personal fitness, growth, and mental health. Sally Edward's has made it her life's work to help us all have a better quality of life. I was really happy to see the work they are doing with our youth through so many schools in America. I am fitter in my 70s than I was in my 30s, thanks to HeartZones.“

“I dragged my post-pandemic body into Figure 8 back in January, and Alicia was kind enough to take me in. They have all the equipment I needed to get myself back into shape, including a great trainer. I love that I can work out at my own pace on my own time. What a gift to have this gem so nearby. Grateful for Figure 8!“
