The Best Gyms in Sacramento

Our team of experts pored through the Sacramento gym scene and came to a surprising conclusion!

The Capital Athletic Club

There is no gym or health club in Sacramento quite like The Capital Athletic Club. Located right in the middle of Downtown Sacramento, a city known as “The City of Trees,” this top-of-the-line club has served Sacramento for over 25 years. More than just a gym, The Capital Athletic Club provides services most other clubs in the area fall short of. One of the advantages of a private health club compared to a franchised chain club is the personal atmosphere. Sporting 52,000 square feet, CAC not only features a wide variety of unique classes and amenities, but also focuses on nutrition, health, and well-being. Something the gym scene has been missing for years.

Capital Athletic Club promotes itself as Sacramento's premier full service fitness and health club. With members spanning from a lobbyist to the state worker, everyone agrees that CAC's amenities make a workout virtually excuse free! From the executive locker room amenities to the standard permanent locker and laundry service, no area has been overlooked with this place! We received positive feedback that such amenities helped members with busy schedules not only get to the club but also actually WANT to be there! It was not uncommon to see a group of members working toward a goal together with many of the classes featured. With classes offered in cycling, yoga, dance, karate, pilates, zoomba, and 4 to 6 week goal-oriented programs, members found exercise with company to be advantageous when working toward a goal.

Sacramento Exercise Facilities

There was also something unique that caught our eye: Relaxation. In a busy world full of tired bodies and an economy raising stress levels to new heights, members could come to the club not only to work out, but often times....to mellow out. After a workout, many members relaxed with a massage or facial, while others exhale in the steam room before heading out the door. We were amazed to find out members here are often offered health and wellness seminars throughout the year providing guidance on how to take care of their bodies according to their needs. We were impressed that a health club taught that health and wellness radiated from the inside out and cared about members even after they left the gym. Who'd a thought? A "gym" actually wanting their members to be active on a regular basis, encouraging health as a whole, and providing every tool in the book to do so..... This is why the Capital Athletic Club is our number one recommendation for Sacramento’s top health and fitness club!
