I LOVE the 12:00pm classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays! I only use the gym for these classes! Jen Jen is the absolute best and one of the main reasons I keep coming back. Having a 12pm class on the weekdays is so important and part of my weekly schedule at this point!
I like the variety and abundance of work out machines at In Shape Natomas and
I prefer to go early in the morning so availability of any machine or area is unimpeded.
What I really don't like is the volume of the overhead music at 4 a.m. when the gym opens.
It's too loud, abrasive and distracting at that early hour. I notice quite a large number of members arriving early like me are wearing headphones or earbuds to cover, replace or block the loud music. (I put on headphones myself.) My wish is that you would run the music at half volume for the first hour so we members can focus on our workouts and ease into the new day.
That would be really nice.
Although it’s become a lot more crowded in the early morning hours, it’s good to see there seems to be more attention being brought to the lack of available equipment, and hopefully that will continue. There is clearly a lack of leg machines and it also seems to take several weeks to repair workstations sometimes. We belong to two other gyms so we do have a lot of perspective. I’ve been recommending InShape more than I have in the past, so that’s something! Oh, and a shout out to custodian Adrian as he goes above and beyond without disrupting the flow of patrons as they workout. He’s the best!
