In-Shape Fit: Modesto Pelandale

I love it here, not too crowded, pretty friendly environment and helpful staff, just a great place to get back into my gym groove and achieve my goals

Cody Lane is one of the best fitness experts in his field. His passion & experience has taken him to another level! He will work out a plan just for you, listening to what your goals are and implement his knowledge. I got the chance to go to his circuit training classes… he is tough but when he sees you doing a certain exercise that if done better, you get much more out of it… he will be right there showing you the best way to get the most out of your workout! That is so important to me!
Thanks Cody! May God Bless you Always!

For being a small gym this place is really good. The staff is friendly and they keep it clean.
If I was going to spend 10 bucks a month it would be this place. Also the other members that go there are good people for the most part. Although during busy hours the little weight room gets cramped but that happens everywhere even the nice one on mchenry.

I truly enjoy this gym location. The staff is beyond amazing. They have helped me through struggles and straightened the situation out for me. I am grateful to have such an awesome gym to go to. I also have to admit I never thought a trainer was a waste of money. I have changed my mind on that, and Cody is an amazing trainer I have gone down two waist sizes and my body fat % has decreased as well. This man has called me out when I have slacked. He keeps my flame lit.

Friendly staff, and a nice, relatively quiet environment. It’s never crazy busy, but the weight area is a little small and is a bit crowded at your typical busy times. There is about all the weights you could want, and a good amount of machines if you prefer. Everything is well kept. The price is very good, and overall it’s a very nice gym. My only complaint is the hours they are open on the weekends, but for some that isn’t a problem.

Although the free weight room is about half the size than the InShape Fit weight room inTracy. Despite its size, they managed to utilize all the space intelligently without making it feel cramped and over stuffed. AND managing to fit a REAL squat rack and T Bar. Super clean environment as well. Also, get there before 4pm, all the high school kids show up and it’s a little
My only problem is… who the hell closes at 4pm on the weekend?

Basic gym, not too crowded, equipment always available, free wifi, good music, definitely better than that shady gym down the street on dale. the old ‘fit u’. Now fitness evolution., or maybe they changed name again to escape bankruptcy.

Although I am writing about InShape in general, my experience is with the Palendale Fit. I have always had trouble with their signup process and even found it deceptive at one point. Recently I went to the McHenry «InShape» to see if I could transfer my «Fit» membership from Manteca to Modesto. I was instructed by thier «specialist» that I need to go to the «Fit» on Palendale. I did but their «specialist» wasn’t available. They did tell me that any club could preform this request (except for the McHenry Club I guess). They also told me to call them and I could switch home clubs on the phone when their «specialist was in. Two days later I called and was told I had to come in or call cooperate to accomplish my task. They would not do it on the phone. I asked about cancelling and they also told me I had to come in for that. It is all about how many new memberships and up-​sells they achieve. Must have monthly targets.

Has everything I need to workout. Just wish they had some punching bags and boxing equipment. As for the staff Most of of them are super friendly and helpful.

Staff is awesome weight room is legit!!! I love the weight room besides for about an hour in the morning then hour around 6:30ish the gym is slammed other than that its dead. Trainers know their stuff. But like I said very competitive rates with an awesome free weight area. Would recommend anyone to come here!!!

This in shape is pretty small but just right and its in a perfect location

Pros: Nice, clean, updated machines. Very friendly staff, even though the turnover for management seems to be high
Cons: I have never been to a gym that the universal policy is that NO ONE re-​racks their weights! It is utterly frustrating that the free weight section is small enough, and can be very congested. And then to have weights just all over the place can be very irritating. And the main problem is the trainers are the biggest culprits! They leave weights and equipment all over the place while training their clients.
I cancelled my membership a few months ago … Though there are good things about this gym, the negatives about this gym were just really bothering me. They need to change the environment of that gym, where people re-​rack their weights and return equipment to where they belong… That must start with the employees and trainers.

Very clean. Spacious (for this level of an InShape Health Club). Staff is friendly. Locker Rooms are clean (not musty, gross, etc). Located off of the freeway

This review if for all In-​Shape Clubs.
I signed up for in-​shape about a year ago. I have worked in a gym in the past and knew to ask about contracts. I know you always have to sign one so I asked Kassie if I would be able to get out of my contract at a later time if I needed to by paying a fee. She told me YES thats not a problem I think its $ 100.00. So I signed up.
Fast forward a few months, issues come up and I no longer have the funds to pay the $ 65.00 a month. I call to cancel and am told that they have never allowed someone to cancel by paying a fee and that I am stuck in my 3 YEAR contract!
Yes 3 YEARS… I cant even stay commited to a relationship that long let alone a damn gym!
So Im stuck. If you go to sign up make sure you read everything! Don’t take the reps word for it, you wont be able to see their nose growing.

The one on Pelandale is nice. Prescott has hard-​core weights. McHenry has a good matt/​core section. Been here since 2004. Need to balance out all the food I’m eating and Unilocaling about and torch out those calories!

This review is actually about the In Shape gym at 1800 Prescott Road, Modesto, Ca.
I’ll make a long story short. I wrote a letter of complaint to the In Shape City main office. I never even got the courtesy of a reply from them.
This business seems to be more focused on how much money they can make from you instead of concentrating on customer service (they «nickel and dime you to death» for every little thing).
This is one health care worker that has learned his lesson. I moved on to a much nicer gym business in Modesto that really care about my concerns rather than their own bottom line.

I was a member of another gym (we’ll call it Gym X) here in Modesto but I never went. And of course a gym is of no value if you don’t use it. I also had some problems with the billing in that they for some reason could not withdraw the money from my account and I ended up paying all of this extra money. So I canceled my membership at Gym X and never looked back.
I’ve been practicing yoga at a studio here in Modesto and I love it. But I’ve been thinking that I need to step my fitness régime up a notch just like one of my Unilocal friends from the city by the bay. Shout out! So I stopped by for a visit to check out In-​Shape on Pelandale. The location is great because it is right off the 99. The gym is not very large and they don’t offer group classes, but I’m not really interested in those anyway.
One feature that did intrigue me was a circuit training area. You can get in and out in 29 minutes plus get a great workout. My mom and sister both belong to Curves (not in Modesto) and it sounds very similar to the principal behind Curves. Both my mom and sister have had excellent results at Curves so I imagine you would have similar success in the circuit at In-​Shape.
I haven’t decided if I want to become a member but if I do decide to join a gym, I will definitely consider In-​Shape as a place to help me get «in shape».

Love it!!! It has a great place for kids and the staff is very friendly. Tons of equipment they have a circuit training area in the back so you dont feel so out of place? Never seem to be overly busy and great bathroom/​lockers.
