I visited this location in the late evening during unstaffed hours. I found the facility itself to…read morehave a nice spacious feel to it and it was clean. I gave them 4 stars for a few reasons. I was delighted to see that they had a stair climber and rowing machine, although the stair climber had one issue. The left handle on the machine has (+) and (-) buttons on it and the (-) button does not work. I discovered this when I was at the height of my climb/speed and tried to slow down and the button wouldn't work. In a panic I just pressed the red 'emergency' stop button until I could acquaint myself with the touchscreen controls. I like that they had the water bottle station and the sweat towels and female hygiene products were a nice touch. There is a lot of signage in this club, which I'm unsure if it's because they have so many issues or they are just trying to stay on top of things. If I had to leave a suggestion I would say buy a squeegee for the showers. There is a sign asking patrons to clean up water that inevitably spills out of the shower (because there is no lip) but the only thing available to clean up is paper towels (which were empty during my visit). Anywho, overall I had a pleasant visit. Bonus points for the photos hanging of the gym/community members running a race together - it showed a real sense of community.

I normally don't leave reviews, but the experience I had with the Redding Anytime Fitness…read moreowner/manager deserves to be known. She has single-handedly turned what should've been a simple Active&Fit membership into a headache built on lies and control. The gym is still publicly listed on the official Active&Fit network, but she decided to "make her own rules" and deny access anyway, claiming I'd used the location too much -- even though I pay through an approved program. That's not policy; that's power-tripping. It's the kind of shady behavior that makes you question how a franchise like this is being run. She knew exactly how much effort it takes to get a workout in -- the pre-workout, the scheduling, the childcare, the balance between work and life -- and still didn't offer a single complimentary day or ounce of decency. She chose to make things harder, not easier. That's not customer service; that's ego. I actually had to call Anytime Fitness corporate myself, and thankfully they were professional enough to refund me the last three months. Still, that doesn't give me my wasted time back. Now I have to start from scratch, hunt for a new gym, and rebuild the consistency I already had -- all because one owner/manager thought she was above the system. If you value honesty, accountability, and fairness, stay far away from this location. It's run by someone who believes rules don't apply to her, and that's not the kind of environment anyone should have to train in.

If you are looking for a really good trainer and beautiful personal training location. This is the…read morespot. Jason is the real deal. A seasoned professional, who not only pushes you to step out of your comfortable zone, he is positive, motivating and listens to you complain [only a lil bit], but pushes you to get past the voice in your head to give up. It's been a long time, since I've done any type of weight training. I use to be in the gym a lot in my 20's/30's, burn out kicked in and I stopped going all together. It was time to make a change. Fast forward to 2021, in just a few short weeks [six to be exact] - I am slowly seeing some results in my body. Super motivating. Thank you for making me feel proud even of my smallest achievements. Your positive attitude has really kept me going. I've enjoyed the training, and am very grateful for your support.

Over the years, I have worked with a number of trainers, and Jason is by far the best that I have…read moreworked with.  He has been training me now for 10 years. He definitely knows how to get results.  He determines what your fitness and nutritional needs are and tailors a program that is well suited to you.  He is encouraging without being unrealistic.  He is highly knowledgeable in anatomy and various exercise modalities.  He has a very well equipped gym in a new building.  Give him a try - you won't be disappointed.

I started going to Ashley for all the usual reasons; I have rolls and flab where I really want to…read moresee... Ok lean awesome muscle, sure. But I'm realistic, so "less" rolls and flab would be fine by me. Totally reasonable, right? I also wanted to start eating better, just little steps toward being physically awesome and yummy or whatever. But more than all that is my energy level. [at the time of this writing] I'm 42, and I have noticed how much more energy it takes to get out of bed, do my husband/parenting/work thing and generally take on the day. It's been 2 months since I started seeing Ashley, and I'm not going to say this has been easy. Hell, anyone that has thought of or even gone so far as buying a gym membership will tell you it's not easy, even to show up. And I'm not going to tell you that Ashley has made this whole thing all puppies and rainbows. She pushes me, and she will push you. Because that's what I need, and that's what you need. She is professional and kind and personable. She knows her stuff and will share her knowledge with you. She will track your progress and make you a little better, each and every time. She will check in with you, challenge you, encourage you, even when you are not in her presence (she has been known to text me with workout challenges now and then). You will do your body and mind a favor by working with Ashley. She will help you be who you want to be. Give her a try, you won't regret it!

This is by far thee best program I've followed thus far. Ashley has inspired and motivated me to…read morebe the best I can be, physically and mentally. She set me up with a meal plan that fit my eating habits and taught me how to monitor and count my macros. I've been able to stay disciplined with my diet and managed to stick with my workout program as well. The first week she worked with me each day to teach me proper form and how to complete a set of reps for my routine. After she and I both felt comfortable enough to let me work through my program solo, I continued on my path to a better me each week. If I had any questions, she was one phone call away. If there was something I wanted to incorporate into my diet that wasn't already listed, she made sure to do so. I've worked with a lot of trainers and programs and hands down, this is the best I've ever felt. Thank you Ashley!

I give this 5 star review wholeheartedly for a number of reasons:…read more- the training (evaluation and instruction) - the relationship (coaching conversations) - customer centric (while they MUST charge a fee for their membership, I don't feel like I'm just a number or a paycheck to them... They're sincere in serving me) My story: I have prior injuries: severe soft tissue injuries (strain) to my bicep tendons, cervical spine, and lumbar spine. Also lifelong pain in right hip flexor. Scoliosis. Thoracic spine stiffness and pain. And difficulty supporting my own breathing. Cumulatively, I've worked with 5 different physical therapists for a total of 10 months (broken into 2-4 month intervals) for different injuries between 2016 and 2019. None of those experiences really "put me back together." After all of this, I eventually joined Align via their remote coaching membership option. Started in January 2021 and have continued to now, December 2021. When I started, I told my coach "I feel fragile." And I did. I felt weak, imbalanced, had constant pain and felt insecure doing many normal activities, like lifting something overhead to put on top of the fridge. I had pain with walking. And I was only 36. But after years of sedentary jobs, sedentary schooling, and significant injuries at part time jobs during school, my previously athletic self now felt frail and weak. I was devastated. But I had seen the educational material that Align publishes for free on their social media. And something in me knew... If anyone could help me, it was them. So I started. And it has been hard work. I learned quickly that my coach can encourage me and teach me, but ultimately I'm the one who has to do the work. And within several months of following the program and working with my coach, I found I was making more progress than I ever did with the physical therapists. Who are DOCTORS...! I felt stronger and more stable through my whole body than I had in the last 15 years. 15 years! I was hooked by that point. The intrinsic reward of stable joints, feeling enormously more capable, enjoying the aesthetic changes, and also the new found self respect... And the pain was decreasing. Align has been giving me the tools and support I need to build this aspect of my life. They are respectful, honest, encouraging, and ridiculously intelligent. I've been a client for nearly 12 months and hope to continue training with them for years to come. What I'm saying is, if you feel weak or in pain, you should call them. Be ready to work. And yes, if you're doing it remotely, you may need to buy some equipment but so far the recommended equipment has added up to like $120 for me and that is very doable. Uneducated trainers are frankly dangerous and can lead you to injury (happened to me in 2012 at an gym in Washington state... While she was watching!). Don't be fooled by their "less expensive" so called "services.". If you are already in pain or feel unstable in your joints, then what you need is a really intelligent trainer who will help you get better, not expose you to further risk for injuries. Which is why I recommend Align. Sorry this is so long, but I'm a words person...!!! Take it or leave it, this is my experience. - Michelle M
