This is a great gym for building muscle. There's a ton of old school machines and weights to choose from. However, I'm not so sure that's a large enough pay off to compensate for the unprofessional staff, particularly a black guy named George. He is extremely rude and, given the chance, will hit on your girlfriend. Also, all member's files are hard copies, kept in a filing cabinet, making cancellation a nightmare. They will lose your paperwork and keep charging you. And, yes, no air conditioning unless it gets to 90° inside.

A wide variety of equipment (machines and free weights) and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

Carl and Liz Fears at Got Muscle are so much more than business owners of a gym. They care about your health, your goals, your aspirations, and your life! Carl is hands down is the best personal trainer I’ve ever had. Tell him your goals, put in the work, and he will get you there! His gym is Old School, his training is priceless!

This gym has been my home away from home for six years, helping me to attain and maintain my fitness level. My teenaged daughter joins me for working out now and she has been welcomed with the same care, attention, and respect. I cannot overstate the positive impact this gym community has had in our lives. Got Muscle is clean, friendly, professional, and full of equipment that is highly functional. The price is impossible to beat in Sacramento and the family feeling of this old-school gym is impossible to find anywhere else. The reason why I am a healthy person is because of Mr. and Mrs. Fears and the amazing community they have built at Got Muscle. The management and staff are extremely knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition for all ages. They are encouraging, helpful, and kind and so is everyone who works out here. Highly recommend.

To be fair, its mostly the African American gentleman who works on the weekends I have had issues with. He runs the place like he's CHP which would be fine if he knew what he was talking about. I have been a gym goer for over fifteen years, across this country and much of Europe and can say with conviction that never have I been treated more poorly as a gym customer than I was at this location.

Facilities are good, some of the staff is good no real complaints about the gym and also low volume of people. The reason I gave them a 3 star rating is because it’s a business and they can definitely improve. They did a horrible job at notifying clients with reopening but the other issue is bill pay. I always set automatic bill pay because I forget but if for what ever reason your payment doesn’t go through instead of notifying you, you receive a letter from a third party company requesting the payment. Like I said some staff is good but if you get the wrong person on the phone from the gym they definitely lack professionalism so I just hung up instead of being disrespectful.

Dirty and in disrepair. This gym is “old school” with 80s music and nostalgic pictures on the wall... but the equipment looks as though it came straight from the 80s as well. Multiple machines are broken, others are taped together or badly ripped. All those issues could be over looked, but the worst part is how dirty it is! There were 3 “cleaning spray” bottles in the entire gym. I wiped down everything BEFORE I used it and the rags came up filthy. Health goes by the wayside here. If you’re looking for a clean gym, keep looking.
