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.

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!!!!!!

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.

October 4, 2025. The…read moremorning started perfectly -- my mood, just like the weather in Sacramento, was phenomenal and full of positivity. Everything was going great... until I went to the Big 5 store on Elkhorn Blvd. At first, the saleswoman was polite, but after she called the manager to handle the return of a defective inflatable mattress, the situation changed completely. The manager was extremely rude and disrespectful -- he kept snorting, interrupting, speaking in an irritated tone, and showing open aggression. I couldn't argue or raise my voice -- my English isn't strong enough for that, which can easily be confirmed by the store's security cameras. So I calmly and respectfully called my daughter to help explain the situation over the phone. The manager spoke to her rudely and irritably, getting upset when she referred to the official Big 5 website, where the return policy is clearly stated differently from what he claimed. He even tried to intimidate me by threatening to call the police, as if the police were some kind of punishment force that would come and "throw me out of the store." I never raised my voice, never acted rude or aggressive -- I was simply trying to return a defective item, staying calm and respectful the entire time. In the end, the manager grabbed the box with the mattress, carried it outside, and ordered me to leave the store. I was completely shocked by this treatment. I never expected that a well-known retail chain like Big 5 could allow such behavior toward a customer. I sincerely hope that the company's management reviews the security footage, investigates this incident, and ensures that such behavior never happens again. Im​ really interested to see if the same behavior continues from that manager and if anything action will be taken towards stoping it.
