It's all about the community here - the support and care is genuine and constant. The classes (so many great and diverse choices) are top notch and the trainers are brilliant.
I've been training with Mikaela for almost six months at this point. Her attention to detail, general expertise, sheer knowledge (weight training and nutrition) and genuine care makes her the best trainer I've ever worked with. She's the reason for my growth and continued commitment to achieving my goals - 10/10 recommend if you're serious about leveling up.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Oct 23, 2023
Seems like an okay community but is WAY overpriced for locals to use their facilities. I wish they had a more affordable price for the people who actually live within a few blocks so we'd have a home gym.

Eliza I really appreciate your feedback, we have all different pricing options for all different commitment levels here at the gym. With over 100 classes per week we really try to keep our rates as affordable and comparable to other studio style gyms in the area. We also do partner with quite a few neighborhood businesses to try and build the community around us and let those local folks become members at a competitive rate. Over the years we have gotten to know many neighbors on 34th Street and beyond and many of them are current members of our facilities today. Please feel free to reach out directly if you have any other questions. - Dana

Fantastic community of members and the largest group of top-notch trainers I have experienced. While it is a full gym with a free weight / barbell focus, they really shine in their variety of class options and times.

Mikaela is the best! My fiancée and I joined Fitness Rangers to get in fit before our wedding and she whipped us in shape. Between her personal training, the classes, and her passing down her expertise we look and feel ready for the big day. Not only is she super knowledgeable but she's also very patient and fun. We always look forward to our sessions with her!

Fitness Rangers is my favorite gym in Sacramento. They have a spin studio, barre studio, bootcamp studio, CrossFit area, and a full gym. There are locker rooms and showers. The facility is very nice and clean. There are many class offerings throughout the day, at many different times with many different instructors. The instructors are amazing. I've really enjoyed all the classes I've taken and have learned a lot and gotten stronger. The class times are convenient with a work schedule as they offer before work and after (as well as dead in the middle of the day). The bathroom is stocked with supplies including deodorant and mouthwash. They have childcare and I believe it's free. When you come for a class, you can use the gym before or after.

Over the years, I've tried just about every type of gym there is. Bottom of the barrel 24 Hour Fitness, mid-level gyms that have basic classes and decent equipment, and even boxing gyms. When I moved to Sac a few months ago, I was looking for a gym that had variety, community, and good service. After trying a couple of gyms in the area, I chose to go with Fitness Rangers. And I'm so glad I did!
Fitness Rangers essentially has everything you need to get and stay in shape. Here are the main things I like about it:
1. Variety: I am a typical Millennial and get bored easily. This is particularly true with working out. At a regular gym, you might just go and do your same routine over and over again - maybe make some gains but likely get bored. At FR, there are so many different types of classes that you can mix and match whatever you want to stay engaged: bootcamps, crossfit, weight classes, yoga, cycling, pilates, and even barre. I've tried them all. Now that I am a couple months in, I have settled into a routine of 2 bootcamp and 2 crossfit classes each week with maybe 1 wildcard day doing yoga or pilates or, if I'm feeling dangerous, barre. In addition to the variety of classes, the trainers mix up the routine each time, so you show up not really knowing what will happen - other than that you will get a good work out.
2. Efficiency: Like many of FR's members, I am a a hardworking professional with not a ton of free time. Gone are the days of waiting forever for a fitness bro to get off the 5 machines he's using in between gym selfies at 24 hour fitness. You sign up for a class, show up, and 45 min - 1 hour later you walk out sweating, pleasantly sore, and happy. The trainers are very respectful of your time and always get you out on time. This makes it easy for me to jump out for a lunch class, knowing I will make it back for after lunch meetings. Sometimes I even go in for double days just because.
3. Cleanliness: This gym is super clean and nice. Not much else to say other than that clean is cool. Thanks FR janitorial staff!
4. Professionalism: Every single FR employee I have interacted with has been kind, courteous, and professional. As someone who works in business development / client relations I appreciate people who show genuine interest in their clients and take the time to get to know them. I have been going to gyms my whole life, and FR is the first place where the trainers / front desk staff actually remember my name (even when I hadn't been going for that long). It makes you feel like a valued member of a club versus just another anonymous henchman holding wrench (pardon the Austin Powers reference). Previously, gyms I went to seemed to only care about those paying for private personal training - and everyone else was just ignored. I am not currently doing personal training - though this approach to making me feel valued and not pressured definitely makes the idea of personal training a lot more attractive to me and I'll prob try it out down the road.
5. Humility: FR is a place where the most seasoned fitness fanatic and newcomer can feel welcome. Perhaps this is just how Sac is and I am used to people being jerks in the Bay Area (where I am from) - but I appreciate that there is no judgment and everyone has a strong growth mindset. I am in decent shape but am new to many of the more advanced weight training techniques (e.g. deadlifts, power cleans, etc.), and am probably the worst barre student in the solar system (I am a lumbering 6'3'' and 220 pounds), yet the trainers have always been patient with me, helped me learn, and improve. In your 30s, the goal is to stay fit without hurting yourself - and I know that if I was pressured into rushing these workouts it would not end well. All we can do is begin where we are and work each day to get a little better - that's what I've always said.
6. Value: FR's membership for unlimited classes might be a lot of money for some but I think it's totally worth it. I see fitness as an investment in my long-term physical and mental health, and $200/month to advance that is worth it. People easily drop $100 going to a bar or club. And if you're a financial fiend like me, once you've paid the $200, it motivates you to go to as many classes as possible to get the best per-class value.
7. Community: I work from home full-time and spend most of my day on Zoom calls and hanging out with my overbearing golden retriever. I am always looking for ways to build community in Sac and meet new people. FR seems to have very low staff turnover, so you eventually get to know the them. And there are many regulars you can meet during classes. I have only been going consistently for a couple months now, but I imagine after going for many months / years you would develop a nice community of fitness-minded friends.
So, in conclusion to this treatise, stop scrolling through Yelp reviews and give FR a try - you won't be disappointed!Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information

Literally LOVE this place. The staff is amazing. All the trainers are amazing. I'm no fit person by all means but they make you feel like you can do anything here. So many coaches went out of there way to modify workout for me as well. So many fit women here that it's inspiring and I love it. I look forward to making my return. Also want to give a huge shout out to Dana for being so friendly. You rock :)

Took the boot camp class and really loved it! The neighborhood is super cute. Walked in and the front desk was very welcoming and informative. The instructor was super friendly and helpful, too. She was observant and had great energy to support and motivate "fitness rangers" they called us. Love it lol. The class was fast paced, which made even the hard parts a bit easier just knowing they would be done soon. You have control to push yourself and they give you all the tools and and support to do it. Highly recommend! Def worth joining!

I'm so glad I made it in! Nice people, clean environment, and I have a baby at home and all of the Covid orders are being followed here.
Everyone has to work together to make things safe so I clean up after myself and hope other members do too. We're provided with everything we need to do it and it's sweet that I have my own dedicated space to sweat in.
Pro tip: go to REI and buy a BUFF coolnet that you can use as a face mask while you work out. Super comfy.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Aug 4, 2015Previous reviewIt's been a while since I've updated my review and I've been here a year...
Type of gym:
You can try it out for free 1 time and see if it's for you, I RECOMMEND YOU TRY IT. Try a turf class and a boot camp class (do not try to make yourself do what everyone else is doing - the trainer will adjust for you and probably give you direction if it's your first time and you let them know). Maybe buy a few sessions. These professionals are confident in their product and they should be - best gym I've ever been to. I'm a member at 24 hour too and this place is a completely different animal. Lots of classes in the morning, 1 at noon, and 2 in the evening typically. This place is geared toward getting you in shape and sculpting you body. Heavy lifters can join to get toned, skinny people can join to pt on muscle mass and strengthen bones and joints, and soft people can join to get more firm. I have improved my form, flexibility, endurance, and strength - in that order.
The people:
The atmosphere here is really positive and "can do". All body types are present (and I can see familiar faces and happy faces here). I'm a little bit Chubs McGrubs myself but I'm working on it. I cannot comment with great depth on the folks who come here since I tend to focus really hard on just my workout so I do not really try to develop relationships here with other members but, that being said... the ones I have had the pleasure of working out with are motivated, welcoming, and very considerate! The people here make me want to be a nicer person. Very cool gym!
The staff:
This is a premium experience. I am thoroughly impressed. The staff seem to know everything and everyone. The demand is high for trainers so you might have issues booking a regular time for individual sessions but it's worth every penny for their expertise. I've tried both Kito and Blake and both trainers are personable, smart, and will not let you fail if you follow their instructions (even though it is difficult but that's on you). They are constantly improving and tweaking workouts and interactions. If you have issues, try reaching out to Dana in the front or Adam before you grumble to your self... they are very receptive and conscientious professionals.
The cost:
It's expensive and worth every penny. The cost has the benefit of making you feel like you are throwing money away if you don't go to boot camp. It's quality and quantity. They look out for you here. The prices are listed on the website last I checked. If you want a good deal then commit to getting in shape and buy 6 months at a time.Sep 5, 2014Previous reviewUpdate: this gym has so many great days that a mediocre day seems to be easy to forget. This gym is best of the four I've tried in the area if your looking for great daily classes.
Aug 24, 2014Previous reviewI tried a morning boot camp and was impressed. I bought 5 more.
Still impressed: great workout, got me out in under an hour. I started getting results immediately.
I became a month to month member.
The good: the workouts are tremendous! So good. Such variation. So motivating. The music is great. The majority of instructors are good leaders, good motivators, positive people.
Many instructors offer help and one on one quick interventions during class to help one or two people lagging or performing a movement dangerously. Sometimes classes are large, but the large classes are split up and can be even more interesting during rotation. GREAT CLASS MANAGEMENT provided by trainers; responds quickly to potential problems- not just letting thing happen but the trainers have some good preventive management action as well as responsive action. The management has hired instructors that Immediately break up classes that are too large. They appear to be catching up trainers that fall behind the standard of other trainers, and have hired a super friendly staff with positive encouraging attitudes. Everyone there seems to think "that's not my job" is a crazy thing to say and assure you that a solution is on it's way. The high price is congruent with the high service and acknowledgement and personal attention given to each person. If you attend a class every other day you will see results FAST. They send you away feeling good about yourself for the most part.
This is a business you could feel proud to be a part of as an employee, owner, or client.
The Bad: the price is steep. The rest of the bad has only occurred in two visits of about 20 times (~10%); not to shabby. Sometimes the classes are too full and even though classes are split up it slows things down a bit. (See: the good). One or two trainers are just not as good as the others and it's hard to skip those trainers because of the sign up process. Some of the members there treat the gym like a bar- not the socializing regular stuff but the inappropriate jokes and juvenile behavior. I've seen one instructor sexually harassed- felt bad for her not asserting herself but I came to work out not lead interventions. Sometimes the music is reset or skips or abruptly stops during the workout- breaks your focus (rare but seems to happen to same trainer).
The ugly: if you get a bad trainer(rare) the poor management makes things clumsy and dangerous. Throwing med balls up walls when it's congested or when there are wall bars in the way is poor planning. The more experience (or just plain better) trainers seem to effortlessly make a class run smoothly and do not have to make excuses or get frustrated. They Make good decisions early and have fewer people doing each activity. Sometimes when things go south for a routine the frustration bleeds though the normally positive tone of a struggling trainer and you can hear the blame game begin(only applies to the trainers still being brought up to speed)
I come to be lead to fitness @ 530 am. Not to think or make suggestions. Keep me pushing my limits, safe, and happy and I'll keep shelling out the $$$! I'd recommend this place to a friend at the time of the post:)

Wow. This is a dream gym. I dropped in, visiting from out-of-town. Shout out to Cynthia for being welcoming and attentive. I learned a lot from her just in the one class! Front desk ladies were very kind, too. You locals are lucky to have this place.
