After again getting sucked into doing a bunch of soul-crushing "online" research, I was finally…read morefeeling ready to buy some additional exercise equipment. But as a small business advocate, I really wanted to buy local, so I decided to check out Sacramento Exercise Equipment Center again. Wow! Although it might seem like it would be an intense and intimidating place, the manager Dylon put us at ease (including on the phone). He's a very nice and helpful guy. And as soon as I picked up some of their equipment, it was a reminder that some things are just way easier and better to check out and buy in person, even if you might pay a few bucks more. While it can be helpful to read about a product online, it's obviously a whole different (better) experience to actually hold it in your hand, especially something like weightlifting equipment and with the help of someone as helpful and knowledgeable Dylon to answer your questions in real time.

Called the store from 9/7/2023 to 9/27/2023 and was told all kinds of lies!!! Today I took the bike back due to the lies, poor customer service, etc.... Then I went shopping for a new bike! Remember I purchased the first bike for $429.92! I went to the sister store in Roseville no knowing!! The sister store has the exact bike for $299.99! I ask the salesmen Colten about the bike and he says this bike does not even have Bluetooth! Then I tell him who I am, questioning everything he just said! And I tell him I paid 429.92! Your selling the same bike for $299.99!!! No! how can that be! Call your sister store and find out!!!! Colten was the one that told me he would send a tech. out to my house!!!!!! DO NOT SHOP HERE THEY ARE LIERS and they PRICE EQUIPMENT DIFFERENT FROM STORE TO STORE!!!!! My day off was spent with poor customer service, lies and gas at $5.42 a gallon!!!

Are you looking for quality free weights, selectorized strength equipment, or cardio equipment…read more(itreadmills, ellipticals, cycles, rowers, and Pilates reformers)? If you are, check out Fitness Outlet in Rancho Cordova, CA. Chris and Mike are super knowledgeable and have a great easy going demeanor. They carry new merchandise in brand names like Life Fitness, Hoist, Bodycraft, and Lemond. I just named a few brands, they have a bunch more. If you don't see the equipment in the shop, ask them because possibly they have it in the stockroom in the back or can order it. The staff realize that it is a major purchase and don't pressure folks. They actually encourage folks to test out the equipment. Even though hubs and I have been customers for over 15 years, we tend to take our time making a decision and go back to the shop often to look and test equipment. Often times we don't make a purchase. With that said, each time back, we are greeted and welcomed. No awkwardness. The prices are competitive due the brands. Customer service is outstanding.

You name it, they've got it. I was overwhelmed with the selection they had... which is GREAT if you want to buy something, not quite as great if you want to sell something because they're in a position to be (and actually, at this point, MUST be) pretty picky about what they buy for resale. Obviously, they're not going to want to shell out $$ for something they don't think they can sell relatively quickly at a profit, so it's definitely a supply and demand kind of thing. Makes sense. If I was in the market to buy something, I'd definitely drop by.

I've seen better condition old golf clubs at Goodwill stores that price them at $3.99 each. This shop is fairly small.

The equipment there is in much better condition. I was curious to check out this Citrus Heights franchise. Seen it. No need to return.

Turns out the buttons just freezes when the weather gets cold. The technician was so nice and didn't charge me the full price to fix this problem!
