Lifetime Folsom is not a gym... it's a full-blown civilization…read more Met a friend here for a workout, and since she's not a member, we had to do the whole guest pass process first. You know... the "tap here, sign here, acknowledge that squats may humble you today" routine. But I've got to give credit where it's due -- the front desk made it ridiculously easy. They were handling a phone call and getting my friend squared away at the same time, and somehow still made it all look smooth. No chaos, no confusion, no "uhhh let me get my manager." Just straight-up professionalism. The second we walked in, she looked around and said, "Is this a city or a gym?" I said, "Honestly... both." Because Lifetime Folsom is not for the weak or the directionally challenged. This place has everything. Pool, spa, cafe, workout floors, recovery zones, pickleball, tennis, locker rooms that feel fancier than some apartments... at one point I'm pretty sure if you turn the wrong corner you accidentally enroll in a wellness retreat. And my favorite part? The confidence people have before a workout. She came out of the locker room with that movie trailer energy like, "Alright, let's do this." Looking at me like, "Bring it." And I did. I coached her through the workout, and for the first 20 minutes she was hanging in there strong. Then somewhere around that 1 hour and 30 minute mark, the spirit left the body. By the end, the look had changed from "I got this" to "I would like to formally unsubscribe." And honestly? Respect. Because the workout was solid. We laughed the whole time, had great conversation, and got after it. That's what I love about Lifetime -- whether you're going hard or just trying to survive the stair climber without seeing your ancestors, it somehow still feels fun. After we wrapped up, we grabbed our stuff and headed to the cafe because recovery was no longer optional. She needed a pick-me-up, and honestly, probably a new set of legs. We grabbed shakes, sat down, and started coming back to life. Then out of nowhere she goes, "Ummm... tacos?" And I looked at her like she had just spoken the Lord's language and said, "Yes." Then she hits me with, "I got the spot. Follow me." Now THAT is elite leadership. So basically this place gave us: a killer workout, laughs, smoothies, and the launching point for Taco Tuesday. What more do you want from a gym? A zip code? Actually... Lifetime might already have one. In all, Lifetime Folsom continues to prove it's way more than just a gym. It's an experience. It's a fitness amusement park. It's where confidence goes to get tested and where post-workout taco plans are born. And honestly... that's beautiful.

So because I'm not a paying customer because I finally turned 65 and got a one pass gym membership…read moreincluded in my Medicare Advantage plan Lifetime Fitness just told me they can't accommodate me for over a year and a half that there's a waiting list because I don't want to be a paying customer. Wow wow wow but yet they were more than willing to give me the membership for $202 a month wow. I'm 65 I don't work I have retirement income that's it I finally get to enjoy a membership at a club that I think would be worth my time and I know a lot of people that would be willing to be paid members but they don't want me. Wow I've never felt so discriminated against because of my age and not wanting to pay when I finally get a free deal. I would hope to think that they would get something from the Medicare Advantage plan I was partnered with. So anyway if you're 65 plus don't go there because they don't want you.

He is always very professional and attentive although my child is very young and cannot grasp some of the concepts quite yet he is very patient and explains exactly why we are doing each activity and how it'll help her in the future. The price is great for once a week and the pool is just the right temperature for my little one. We have only been attending classes for two months but already see more and more confidence building in her. We are so grateful for this program and most of all for a great instructor!

I'm glad for the lessons, I just wish it was open for unorganized swimming more days and longer than 3 hours at a time. Go check it out. Would be great if you have small kids who like a routine outing twice a week.

We came here for swim lessons for our youngest and we had a good experience. The instructor was…read moreawesome with him and made the class fun. The facility itself is pretty big with a lap pool, a kids play structure, and 2 water slides. There aren't enough seating areas but you can bring in chairs to wait. The only downside is the cleanliness. We've seen trash and food on the ground. The bathroom and locker room don't smell great and we've seen wet paper and food in them. We'd love to have lessons here again and hopefully the facilities will be cleaner when it's less busy.

We had a very frustrating experience with Folsom Sea Otters, primarily due to how their schedule…read moreand refund policy are handled. We enrolled our 5- and 7-year-olds, but the team did not release practice times until after the deadline for a full refund had already passed. When the schedule was finally shared, practices were quite late on school nights--later than other teams in the league--and simply not reasonable for young kids. Because of this, we had to withdraw before the season even started. While the team did follow their written policy and issued a 50% refund, we still lost $390 despite never using the program. What feels unacceptable is that families are required to commit financially before being given critical information like practice times. There was also no flexibility offered, even though we withdrew well in advance and there was a waitlist for our age group. I strongly recommend waiting until practice schedules are released before registering, as you may not be able to get your money back if the schedule doesn't work for your family.

To the mysterious individual who looked at a warm, inviting gym and thought, "You know what this…read moreplace needs? The ambiance of an outpatient surgery center." Congratulations. You have accomplished what decades of New Year's resolutions could not: you've made me less excited to come to the gym. The rich maroon and blue walls gave this place personality. They made it feel energetic, comfortable, and welcoming. Now I walk in expecting someone to hand me a clipboard, ask for my insurance card, and tell me the MRI machine is down the hall. Did someone lose a bet? Was there a clearance sale on "Corporate Beige Despair?" Did a committee gather around paint swatches and unanimously declare, "Let's remove every ounce of warmth from the building"? This gym has always been one of the reasons I've stayed a member for years. It had character. It felt alive. Now it feels like the waiting room where enthusiasm goes to die. Whoever approved this color scheme owes the old walls a formal apology. Please. Bring back the warmth. My muscles don't mind the workout, but my eyeballs are filing a grievance.

After relocating to…read moreSacramento CA from NYC and then AZ I was highly disappointed in the gyms in Rancho Cordova, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, and Roseville. Then I found In Shape in Folsom and felt like I found my gym... finally. Things I look for in a gym are: Punching bags (there's 2 one outside and one inside) the inside one has been removed the last few days... I hope they fix it. I also look for a steam room and sauna, and of course a pool. I also love that they have a smoothie bar with great ingredient options which are fairly priced.
