An excellent spot to enjoy the Sparks Marina with paddle boards, kayaks, peddle boats, or canoes. For $25, you can enjoy an hour of exploring the marina. If it's not too busy, you will most likely be allowed to spend as much time as you want on the water. Overall, this is a great spot to enjoy paddle boarding, kayaking, etc., and it is operated by a very nice and helpful crew. read more

Such an amazing and accommodating company. Very kind and communicative. Paddle boards were great, was able to change courses when our plans changed, and allowed us to use an additional paddle board free of charge!! 100/10 Would recommend. read more

Sparks Marina Paddle - Sparks Marina - Paddleboarding Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

*It's at the park **I think they have sunset times! and fourth of July times! Make sure you call in before hand (reservations). It was lucky that when we came out, they had extra kayaks. (Whoo!).Called and talked to Lisa* (I think this was her name sorry if i forgot!!!) she was super nice and told us to come on down to the dock. We signed some paperwork and paid through square and that was it, she said we could be out there a bit longer *I think because we can totally lose track of time out there and be like oh shoot we gotta get back and it'll probably take a few minutes. But the experience: It was good nothing bad honestly if i could be out there and take a nap without fear of falling in I would totally do that.(you can probably do that...) Honestly real talk on this stuff the paddle boarding seemed legit, if i knew how to swim i totally would've done that If you're ever down here and want to do something else besides gamble be sure to come down here or up whatever you know what i mean like come on GPS 5/5 would go again, plus she took pictures of us which was super nice Go out there and have some fun! -Josh read more

This was an amazingly fun time! Lisa really showed my wife and I how to paddle board. Super nice and friendly. The marina was perfect. We wanted a lesson before our up-coming Hawaii trip. I never thought I would be able to be so comfortable standing on the board but I was. Lisa is a great instructor and made this so much fun. Planning to do it again before our trip to Hawaii read more

Had a blast paddle boarding with my family today! We stopped by last year during Labor Day weekend the first time and Lisa taught my sister and I some great techniques to paddle board. She made sure we were comfortable with everything before sending us off into the marina to venture on our own. Lisa is a great teacher and she's very friendly and patient. I recommend everyone to give paddle boarding a try! We are probably going to make this a Labor Day weekend tradition. Thanks for taking photos for us and see you next year! read more

Marina Paddle Fit rocks year round! I love paddleboarding with Lisa and all of the Marina Paddlefit family all summer. The paddlefit classes are a blast and a great break from the ordinary. The paddle boards are very stable so anyone can take her classes and be successful. Lisa's TRX classes are a phenomenal workout all year round and I have seen results quickly. She is great at modifying her workouts to suit all fitness levels. There has been no wear and tear on my joints and the best part is...NO BURPIES!!! Anyone can do Lisa's classes on or off the water. She is the most attentive trainer I have ever worked with. read more

Lisa is a wealth of knowledge, and her enthusiasm for paddle boarding is infectious. She provided great tips to help us improve our experience, can't wait to go out and try new spots and boards!!! Will definitely visit Sparks Marina Paddle again. read more

Everything happened so smoothly, the experience was pleasant all thanks to the staffs

I was a little intimidated by the idea of using a Standup Paddle Board, thinking it required super athletic abilities and fitness to enjoy. Boy was I wrong. I believe just about anybody could enjoy the sport in Marina Paddlefits' relaxed, friendly environment. Venue- You forget you are in Sparks right beside HWY 80. It's another little world of it's own. Instructor- Lisa is a ball of enthusiastic positive energy with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Equipment- For a small shop, they have a little bit of everything, including the newest boards for sale and rent. read more

This place is so awesome!! Lisa gave our kids a great lesson and they had a great time! After their lesson they had no problem once they were out in the water! read more

I just took Lisa's stand-up paddle board fitness class at the Sparks Marina! Wow! What a beautiful way to start the day! I love being outside and any excuse to get me near the water is heaven. It was a perfectly glassy morning on the water. Lisa made the class really fun! She has great energy and it's contagious! I am not a fan of going to the gym and running on a treadmill so i LOVE doing activities that are athletic and challenging but are so much fun that you forget you're working out! Next time I go, I'm grabbing a few girlfriends to come with me! It's an awesome way to socialize, have fun, and work your muscles too! Love it!!! read more

You have to check out this hidden Gem!! I'm just so amazed how personable Lisa is!! I'm amazed that she took the time to paddle a paddle boat over to the beach to pick up my 3 girls and bring the paperwork after I explained I was walking with a cane. She went way above and beyond anything anyone could expect! They gave the girls free lessons about the boards, she made sure they had life vests on and most of all she made sure they had a great time!! She even took pictures and sent them to me, WOW! Just so impressed! This is a hidden Gem in our city and you have to get out and check them out! Prices were more than affordable!! Thank You Lisa! We will be back! read more

This is a super late review but wanted to be sure to circle back around to share our experience. Our family rented an Airbnb a few months back, and I've been meaning to leave a review to say how amazing the family owned business is. Super friendly, flexible and overall extremely helpful. The owner was very sweet... she helped one of our family members overcome her fear of being on the board. She didn't just deliver the boards and walk away... she stayed to make sure we had everything in line to enjoy ourselves. read more

Lisa is an excellent instructor with great energy and enthusiasm. She's a champion paddle board racer, so I felt like I was in good hands. She made sure that I was comfortable on the paddle board and led me through exercises to check my balance and form. She even took photos and videos to make sure I remember her tips after the lesson. Lisa makes sure that you understand the basics before letting you off the board and has the patience of a saint. Her lesson is good for a beginner (like me) or for an experienced paddle boarder who wants to get faster or more efficient. read more

Lisa was great! Made it very easy to rent a paddle board and was very relaxed about the time I kept the board for. She gave me lots of great tips so I could be successful using it and not fall on my face or hurt myself. I highly recommend renting through these guys for an easy, relaxing day on the water. We will be back! read more

HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! My wife and I did the night SUP and it was incredible! It was a beautiful night and we had the whole marina to ourselves! The owners were super chill, down-to-earth, and the prices were very reasonable. If your in the Reno area and enjoy outdoor activities, this is a must! read more

I got on a paddle board for the first time with Lisa's instruction, and I learned a lot and had a lot of fun doing it. She clearly knows how to paddle board very well and is good at teaching a lot of technique to a complete novice. Her advice and instruction was straight-forward and easy to follow. Furthermore, she seems very down to earth and approachable as an instructor. If you're in Reno and want to learn to paddle board or improve your technique, definitely pay her a visit. read more

This is a great way to get out on the water on a hot summer's day and get a good workout . I tried this place out on a Groupon or Living Social deal, and it was well worth it. Lisa was good about giving me some tips and get getting me set-up before I went out on the water. The classes she teach look good, though I can't say that I tried them (I do my own workouts on the board). The night-time paddles on lighted boards look really cool, and I plan on trying that in the future. read more

Just took my second group class with Lisa Gonzalez, owner and certified trainer. She is an amazing instructor, really friendly and excited about the sport. The class increased my confidence on the board by teaching proper paddle strokes, form and weight distribution. Now I can paddle faster, longer and am learning how to do turns like a pro. She also taught us some exercise moves that we can do on the board like planks, squats and yoga, so you get a great workout while having fun! Makes you feel like a rock star! I highly recommend this motivational trainer and sport!! read more

My family & I live in Las Vegas, but I have been working the last several months in the Sparks area, so I'm staying up here in a rental, & I am constantly exploring the area for a future home & for great restaurants & activities. I decided to spend a Saturday morning kayaking on the Sparks Marina, & it was a great time! I was able to get a decent workout by paddling across the marina fast, then relax & enjoy a peaceful row through the housing canals, & over to the dog park to see pups playing in the water, & row over to the beach area, get some sun, & feel the light morning breeze. On top of that, it only cost me $25 for equip rental, & Lisa, the owner, is a cool lady who is a joy to talk with! It was a great start to a Sunday. read more

great customer service, lisa G. is an amazing employee and made mine and my family's day a blast. great customer service. beautiful environment. great people. if i could give more than 5 stars i would. definitely a great place to spend the day with family and friends. or even alone. prices are great too :) read more

Lisa is a great stand up paddle board instructor. She's efficient and comprehensive. She's concerned that her customers have the best possible SUP experience. I highly reccomend her! read more

Marina PaddleFit with Lisa is one of the best kept secrets in Sparks. I had paddled once in Tahoe a year ago, and Lisa made sure that I was comfortable before letting me paddle off. Our class was at 6:30pm so the setting was just beautiful with the evening sunset. I will definitely be back for another class! read more

A few of my friends have taken lessons from Lisa so I thought I would give padleboarding a try. I booked a one hour individual lesson and would most definitely recommend others to give it a try. Lisa is very knowlegeable and very patient as I gained more confidence in the water. She gives instruction in a very hands on manner and is enthusiastic in bolstering your courage to try different maneuvers. I will be returning to rent boards from Lisa in the future as I now feel she has given me the instruction to give it a paddle on my own. I may even give the Paddleboard Fitness class a try!! read more

Lisa is a great instructor. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Made it fun to learn. Great to start inside with some skills and then move yo the water. I will be back. read more

I purchased the package for two from Amazon-Living Social; Lisa G was nice enough to extend after expiration. I went with my daughter, as she had suggested going to Tahoe to paddle-board when she was going to be in town. I suggested we do Sparks Marina (I remembered the deal I had purchased!). I liked the dry land practice before going out on the water. The friendly but efficient attitude (professional) of Lisa G, too. My daughter and I had a super and successful time! I had done a triathlon in the Sparks Marina so knew the water quality was good; Lisa informed us her foray into gleaning information from the City about water quality, and that ratings of the Marina are on a par with Tahoe. Great experience. read more

Lisa is the best! She makes you very comfortable and makes sure you are well prepared and informed before you even set foot on a board. Her instructions are easy to follow which allow you to have a great time on the water. She is great with groups and helping you organize a best time to be out on the water. Haven't tried the night time boarding but have seen them from the street...Looks awesome!!! Can't wait to try it our for myself. She is such an asset to have so nearby and a great way for the community to make use of the Marina waters and enjoy our beautiful town! Thanks Lisa! read more

I have recently moved from the ocean to landlocked Nevada and was dying to do a SUP Sunday. Paddleboard Fitness with Lisa G, now known as Marina Paddle Fit located in Sparks Marina hit the spot! Parking is easy, you walk in and the space is loaded with equipment. Lisa's energy is contagious and you immediately want to try one of her other fitness classes offered. Check in was easy and I was on the water in a matter of minutes. Brandan and Kaitlyn (our guides) were fantastic, loading the gear down to the water and setting everything up. It was a terrific day on the water and I would highly recommend this to any level of paddler looking for a fun few hours on the water! Facebook "marina paddle fit" for more info and thanks for a great time! read more

My daughter and I stumbled upon Lisa and Stand Up 4 Fitness by mistake one Saturday afternoon. We had the best time on the water. Lisa was patience and knowledgeable and fun! We will be returning again this coming summer and cannot wait to see Lisa again. read more

Marina Paddlefit does NOT slow down in the winter months. Lisa G, owner and certified trainer, is teaching daily. I love working out here as she gives individualized attention, even during group classes. She is very skilled at tailoring exercises for each participant..assisting those new to exercise, those with injuries and physical limitations as well as those who are more advanced. Such personalized attention keeps me returning week after week! Ive gained muscle mass, decreased inches and increased my energy level in her TRX, balance, circuit and "butts and guts" classes. She teaches all ages of men and women and it is FUN! She has great packages for class purchase and always encourages and educates regarding proper nutrition and hydration, before during and after class. Another positive aspect is that she supports other local businesses and owners. Stop by or call her...you will be glad you did! read more
