In-Shape: American Canyon

OMG if there was ever a gym that could scream out to me, this would be the one!
The Mrs. and myself were actually part of another In-​Shape, the one on Sereno in Vallejo. We were part of that gym for a few months until we realized we were throwing our money away because we weren’t going there often enough. So we ended up canceling our memberships. What was funny was that when we signed up with Sereno, we had heard of this American Canyon location and that it cost quite a bit more. My wife had told me that it was real nice in there too.
Fast forward to this year. After a renewed sense of motivation and vision, I knew what I wanted to do with my fitness and needed a power rack. Looking around Vallejo, I knew there were a few gyms and inquired about power racks there. I wanted to start this new program that involved a power rack. My wife had set me up with a couple temporary passes, one to this In-​Shape and another to 24-​Hour Fitness in the Raley’s Center. I decided to try this gym out first… and you could say the rest is history.
Upon coming here, I saw that everything was neatly placed and also clean. VERY CLEAN GYM! Organization was impeccable here. Restrooms and locker rooms also looked clean. There were different sections for different activities… and there were TWO power racks here!!! Of course it was intimidating to try them, but you have to start somewhere, right? There is also a cardio area. There are enough machines for the morning group (when I work out) but I can see it getting busy later on in the day. There are enough dumbbells to satisfy everyone, a Smith Machine which at the time was out of commission, but only for another week, assured the staff. The weight machines are also plentiful. Anyway, there is also a spinning classroom, a smaller workout room for those who want peace and quiet while working out, and the best part… a basketball court! Very nice! I thought to myself that this was going to be the gym I’d join. The price would be the only thing…
When I inquired about prices and met up with Bob, he broke it down for me, I saw that it was immediately affordable and I was instantly hooked. I re-​upped with In-​Shape that very same day and I can say it was the best decision I’ve made in awhile!

Love working out here. It’s always clean and majority of the staff are friendly and respectful! My niece enjoys the kid’s club too :) I love how the locker room/​sauna for guys and ladies are separate. I wish they have more stair master though (they only have three at the moment). But overall, I always have good experience when I work out here.

Collins is another good instructor, his dietary advice were really helpful… and I’m getting loosing it. … Good job!!!

I just moved to the area and since the first time I came to check his gum out I was impressed. All the staff is friendly and eager to accommodate your needs. I had a 7 day trial and really liked it so I signed in and received a complimentary session with a personal trainer. It was amazing, all of the trainers are very experienced and it shows that they know their thing. I actually signed up for a six month program with a personal trainer and can’t wait to get in shape and reach my fitness goals

Trumann is so nice and very helpful! Taught me informations i have no knowledge of before. He’s just awesome!

This gym is nice and clean, close to where i live. Staff here is friendly and professional especially Gio and Adrian. Bathroom is always clean. Keep up the good work guys!

I admit, when I first walked in to this club I didn’t think it was anything too special. It’s location was a little hidden and the club appeared small but after meeting with Gio and some of the membership people I was blown away but how accommodating they were, I realized there was something special here. All the staff was friendly, professional, and above all they treated me like they’ve known me for years. I’ve been here for a couple years now and I don’t see myself leaving anytime soon. The clubs cleanliness is always on par with my expectations and the friends I’ve made here, both members and staff, will stay with me for life. 5 star review for a 5 star club :)

US Coat Guard! They are friendly, clean, and has all the equipment you would ever need to stay in shape! Thanks for hooking us up with a membership. 5 star all day! And they have a sauna and free towel.

I never been to AmCan In-​shape for ages, But when i went there last week all d staff greeted me warmly. I had my fit start scheduled, i was a little hesitant to show up for my appointment, im glad that i did show up. Renel was very helpful and Truman helped me twice and i like how he interacts with guest very lively and accomodating. Might come here more often now. Keep up the good work In-​Shape AmCan.

I haven’t been to a gym in ages and I’m glad I forced myself to go back. One of the trainers helped a lot. Ask for Truman if you’re looking for a trainer who really gets you motivated. He’s super patient and made me comfortable and unintimidated. He really knows what he’s talking about.
The only reason this didn’t get a five is because I couldn’t figure out if the spa was dirty or clean.

Been going to this gym for more than a year. Clean and has good equipment. Plus it has a half court to play basketball. I recently signed up for personal training session in order to expedite my fitness goals and Truman was great and helped me with the complimentary workout session. I will post another review once the 6 month training is over.

This gym has some really good machines and it’s a nice area to workout at! Truman gave me a complimentary fit start and really got me working! I really recommend going here!

Great workout and talk with Truman. I just signed up for the gym and was overwhelmed by all the machines. He could tell I was lost and immediately stepped up and helped me. We talked about my goals and he showed me how to use the machines as well as exercises on body parts I wanted to work on. It was definitely a great workout because I was sore… a good sore and felt good. Now, I’m signed up with a friend for a group training session once a week and is super excited.

First time in a long while that I’ve joined a gym and I made the conscious decision to join the In-​Shape in American Canyon. My first time membership included an appointment with their trainers and I highly encourage anyone to take advantage of this. I met with Truman and Shelia and I have to give them many kudos and high marks for really taking the time to work with me (I have a physical disability) and to take in to account my needs and goals. They are so awesome to work with. Truman really guided me in to a good work out and exercises that could be adapted to my needs and limitations. Sheila is such a great cheerleader and so great and «real» to work with! So far I am really enjoying my time at In-​Shape American Canyon.

Had my first personal training session with Kris today and it was great. I signed up for a few more sessions because I was impressed with the program and hope to see results. In-​Shape has a friendly staff and I feel comfortable leaving my 11 month old daughter in the day care while I work out. She loves it and has even met a few new friends her age :). Overall great experience and always accommodating.

Awesome location just of 29 making it easy for commuters to stay healthy. Kris and Truman were great and helped me sign up for training sessions to achieve my 2016 fitness goals. They are very knowledgeable and friendly. Now get in there and DO WORK!

Time for an update:
It’s been 7 months since my last review. Waited this long so I can see if any changes /​progress has been made so here it goes:
Customer services has totally improved :). I also appreciate watching employees going around cleaning up the mess that some members leave behind. It should be an effort we all put in to keep gym in order.
But KUDOOS goes to Bernie for always always making the gym look impeccable in the very early am time. Normally I get there before she does but once she’s there she goes around re racking weights etc. I’ve also found myself on few occasions asking her for help on using a certain machine (that of course I’m not sure how to use correctly) and she takes a little bit of her time to to show me. Which is preventing me from injuring myself. Thanks always Bernie
Keep it up in shape!!!

Gym is good, but a lot of staff just sitting around. Sometimes they don’t have no one checking people in. They all seem to kick it in someones office. Anyone could walk in and work out for free.

Thanks for showing attention Tiffany B. however i know you’re in the marketing department and you would want things to look better as I’ve had my own fair share of experience in the digital marketing world, but;
1– Asking a customer to call the manager instead of the other way around is definitely wrong.
2– I’m in sales so i always answer my phone no matter what.
3– ‘Giovanni’ doesn’t exist as per the lady who answered the number you provide me with.
4– Nobody knew whats going on, which shows ZERO customer relations management.
If you want to rectify something, you either do it right or let it go. because i know i did.
Cheers.

This review is about Kris, one of their trainers.
I’ve left in shape for about 2 years. Now that I am back in the area, I’ve decided to sign up again which means I have a free consult and workout with a trainer. Luckily for me, it was going to be Kris. Kris is very knowledgeable in the health and fitness field. Although I have prior experience and knowledge, He was able to explain workouts and diets clearly in a manner thats easy to understand even for super beginning-​beginners. He walked me through a régime and boy, was I huffing and puffing.
Not only is Kris knowledgeable, he is also personable and humble. I did not feel intimidated or anxious at all during the workout and consult. He asked me about my goals instead of just telling what my goals should be. I would highly recommend him as a personal trainer to anyone!
I am so pleased that this branch got rid of their previous employees (front desk, trainers, consultants) because they sure had a sour attitude! I think they retained maybe 2 or 3 of them from the past 2 years or so, but they’re great.
The new bunch is much more friendly, and are far more engaging that the previous staff. Hallelujah inshape am-​can.
