In-Shape: Modesto McHenry South

Signed up with Paula back in January or February. She’s a terrific motivator. Signed up with PT named Chris, then he quit to go Hollywood. Got a new PT — Jeremy. At first, very motivating and was making slow progress, but progress. Last time I saw him was on July 6^th. Tells me sessions done for that monthly period, ok no problem. Told him to call me when time to start again. Now August 2, haven’t heard from him, even though have left messages to call me. Informed by staff, messages were left on his desk to call me. In-​Shape takes out my payment for month of July right on time. Still no sessions. Go and talk to Floyd location on July 21. Reassured they would move my account over and take care of all paperwork. Went back on 28^th, told someone should of called me. Nope. Got reassured — again — everything would be taken care of and I’d hear something within two hours! Uh, nope. As of this date still haven’t heard anything. Got in touch with In-​Shape PT department, spoke with Gaby, nice lady. Tell he I want to cancel my PT agreement. Ok she says but I have to pay $ 118.80 as a cancellation fee. Why I ask when I didn’t do anything wrong, it was In-​Shapes error. I was fully able and ready to come in. There people screwed up, not me. Informed it’s In-​Shape policy to charge a fee to cancel an agreement. So, I’m out $ 99 for July PT training, of which I didn’t receive. I had to PAY to get out of an agreement In-​Shape broke. Me thinks this is now time for Judge Judy. BEWARE!

I have always enjoyed working out but have never quite gotten the results that I wanted. I always felt self conscious that I was doing the workouts incorrectly so always shied away from going into the weight room. I was approached by a very friendly trainer, Raphael. In the three months that I stared working out with Ralph I have gained confidence and have seen my body transform in this short amount of time. He’s very motivational and goes at your pace while still pushing you to do the best that you can. I always look forward to our sessions because I know that I’m getting closer to my fitness goals. My guy cousin also trains with him and he has seen a great transformation as well. I highly recommend him to both women and men. Paul and Bobby are the best. The staff at this gym is very friendly and personable.

No one Bugs me while I’m working out. That’s good for me cuz at the other places I will be running on the treadmill and all of a sudden a sales man will interrupt me.

This gym has it all! Friendly staff, a great General Manager by the name of Paula which you should deal with if interested in becoming a member. Only 10 $ a month and for everything this specific gym has that is great! They even have a salon attached to their gym which is FANCY! Let’s get some gainssss!

This place seems to have gotten a Makeover. Something changed, whatever it is i like it. Its become quite a relaxing an comfortable setting to work out in. The staff is great an I even got a haircut here’s recently. I go here quite often now. Its pretty close to one of my favorite bars and the 7 eleven an Walgreens I love to go too. I love the layout of this place. It puts a smile on my face. The benches are also really nice although I try not too sit down very often.

I work a very crazy schedule and because of the weekend hours at my local In-​Shape, I travel to this one for the fact that it is 24-​hours 7 days a week. I can’t really be a good judge of exactly how busy this location gets during the day because I’ve only been here from the hours of 3am-​6am. In general, it’s a decent gym.
The layout for this gym is very nice. The locker rooms have more comfortable benches than the gym in my city. It doesn’t have all the amenities available like the Tracy location, which has everything. But of the amenities that I frequent, this gym lacks the whirl pool, steam room, and swimming pool. It does have a sauna in the locker room, which is good. The cardio theater area is a little bit smaller than I’m used to but still has a good amount of machines with a few more in the upper stretching and ab area. The group of smaller day lockers by the cardio can be very convenient for those with only a few small possession and don’t need the use of a huge locker. Good for store and go. I have to say that the reshape and nautilus area in this gym is pretty good. The weight room itself is very large and has a lot of free weights and machines to choose from. I don’t take any classes there, but I was very impressed with the enormous floor area for classes. It’s the size of a highschool gymnasium.
This is a very good gym to come to. It’s the only ²⁴⁄₇ In-​shape in the area. It’s a little hard to spot from McHenry if you’ve never been there because of it being located a few hundred feet in behind a couple buildings and a giant tree blocking the In-​Shape sign. The staff has been very nice and the facility is very clean. Thumbs up.

This is good gym to get your cardio in at. Especially early in the morning or as the summer heats up. In Shape out sources their personal training to custom built so if you are interested in a personal trainer I recommend you look elsewhere as custom built does not provide personal attention that a private studio can. You will have too many distractions in the gym environment. If you are working out on your own this is a great option.

If you really want to know the difference between this location and the Floyd location, see review below. I’ll keep this one short.
The staff is friendly when you walk in, the place is so big that even when its crowded, it doesn’t feel like it is. You never have to wait for a machine, and they always seem to have good things to watch on tv (unlike the Floyd location). Ample lockers, private sauna and showers in the locker room… rather than a unisex sauna like the Floyd location. And you can always find parking! I can never find a spot to park at the Floyd one, if I do I risk getting my car dinged and dented!
