I have been practicing Bikram yoga for over 10 years. And I have practiced as I've traveled all…read moreover the US. And I say this with all honesty. It's hard to find a studio as good as this one. Not only is the studio clean and nice. It's the instructors, so knowledgeable and helpful. They truly know what they are doing. They have our best interest at heart. They have over the last year incorporated other classes besides Bikram, like inferno hot Pilates, and variations of the classic Bikram 26&2 class. Those I cannot speak to because I'm a classic Bikram gal. It those classes seem to be very popular and full! So others must enjoy them. I see others reviews that put down how hot it is and how rigid the instructors can be. It IS hot, it's supposed to be. There a reason for everything they do. Trust the process. When I practice Bikram regularly not only does my body get fit, it's detoxifies and my skin looks younger! I'm in my 50's and no one believes me. I feel like when I go to Bikram yoga I get a work out, I am stretched, I get a facial, and I detoxify. All in 90 min. What else can do that all in 90 minutes!! Nothing. If you're on the fence about it try it at least 5 classes. Then make your decision. Don't do one class. My best friend made me try it years ago. He told me try it 5 times before I quit. I called him after my first class and said "I hate Bikram and I hate you for making me promise this!" After class 2 I didn't hate it. After class 3 I liked it after class 4 I was hooked. It has changed my life and if you trust the process it will change yours too.

After that, I tried a Pilates class, and that's when I truly fell in love with the practice. I took afternoon classes with Tessa or Cheryl, they are both incredibly sweet and supportive.

I just started chemotherapy and can already feel the toll it's taking on my body. Emily listened to me and was ready for our session based on my responses. Not only that, but she was flexible and adjusted what we were doing based on what she heard from me and saw. I left not only feeling better in my body, but with a positivity that will carry me through. I look forward to continued yoga practice with Emily.

Emily is a master of building a focused intensity, but one that is wise, gentle and warm at the same time. There is a deep calm and settling into one self. Emily's might be the most meditative classes I have experienced. Same with her teaching style: direct and to the point, yet expansive and soft. At the end of each class, I left feeling totally at peace with myself and the world. Manteca has received quite a treasure!

I am new so I arrived about 5 minutes early to get registered and Ashley was my instructor, she is so nice and welcoming. The whole staff is, even the students. The class was packed which was a bit overwhelming trying to figure out where to sit ( Ashley recommended sitting in the middle or back for newbies ) so that's what I did, a woman from the class was so polite to create a space for me which brought my anxiety down. If the classes weren't so crowded I would have gave 5 stars! Now this class was hot I mean 5 minutes in I was sweating and the class hadn't even begun yet. I love the fact that Ashley pays attention to her students, you can tell she really cares about what she does. It starts off slow and nice and manageable but the vinyasa flow whooped my butt, I was drenched in sweat, looking around like is anyone else dying and it made me feel better knowing I wasn't alone so I stuck it out and completed it, with taking breaks in between which was encouraged so I didn't feel bad. The class was very very very challenging but rewarding, it makes me want to keep coming back so I can get better because I barely know the poses names. I loved the juice section of the studio, it was much needed after class, I ordered the blueberry matcha which was delicious and filling ! Please try it. The woman making my drink was super cool! So overall I am coming back and I highly recommend!

I've been coming to this gym for a few months now, and I'm so glad I found Excel Health and…read moreFitness. What really sets this gym apart from others I've been to is how involved and supportive the coaches are. From day one, they made me feel welcome and encouraged. They take the time to explain the exercises, make sure you're doing them correctly, and truly help you get the most out of each workout. One extra touch that really stands out is how involved the owner, Danny, is. He actually takes the time to check in with you, see how things are going, and make sure you're feeling supported. Even the motivating emails make a difference -- they help keep you accountable and remind you why you're showing up in the first place. This gym feels less like a place you just work out and more like a community that actually cares about your progress. Highly recommend if you're looking for encouragement, guidance, and a place that genuinely wants to see you succeed.

I was recently reminded that I've been a member at Excel for seven years now- crazy how time flies!…read moreI first joined this gym to train with the competitive athletes but was surprised by how much I fell in love with the gym and its incredibly positive and uplifting community. Community is a big deal here, and building it is one of the main focuses of the gym. The coaches are also great at providing knowledgeable/personalized feedback. I know people are hesitant to invest in a CrossFit membership ($$) but coming from someone who's paid for multiple gym memberships and barely used them, this one is definitely worth it. The value is in having a whole community help push you towards your fitness goals. So many days I didn't feel like training but then started working out with friends and all of a sudden, it's like you're playing a game. Everyone is beyond friendly here and finding people willing to suffer through a WOD with you is pretty easy. If you want to have fun and improve your health and fitness in the process, I'd definitely recommend Excel for you.

The place is clean and felt very welcoming. Felt safe at night (5pm class), bathroom and locker area was clean, the main area was well maintained and open. The instructor, Jenna, was so friendly and made our first experience even better. Looking forward to joining more classes and will probably upgrade my membership once my trial period is over. Few other tidbits - met other members and they were so friendly! One older lady had 300 something classes under her belt and she looked ahhhhmazing!! Small class which i really enjoyed, pace of class and exercises were good for a super beginner, Jenna was helpful in making sure that my form was correct, lastly, I felt like I was so fire after class.

However, there is a serious and ongoing issue with cleanliness and pests that can't be ignored. Multiple members have noticed and openly discussed cockroaches in both the gym area and bathroom stalls, as well as black widows in the lifting room. This isn't an isolated incident--it's something that has been consistently brought up among members. What's most frustrating is the lack of acknowledgment or visible action taken to address it. For a facility of this quality, basic sanitation and safety should be a top priority. Unfortunately, due to these concerns not being resolved, I ultimately had to cancel my membership. I hope management takes these concerns seriously, because this gym has a lot of potential and I would genuinely love to return if improvements are made
