Urban Flex Fitness

Amazing environment that produces results. Only gym I’ve ever «wanted» to go to! You can have results or excuses, not both!

Wow! Did my first spin class tonight and it was amazing. Diane is a great instructor, no judgement whatsoever at this place. I could barely keep up but what a motivator to keep you pushing past what you thought your limits are. Know I’ll be hurting tomorrow but definitely coming back for more :)

There are a lot of variables that go into finding a good gym, or a trainer/​instructor for that matter. The one thing that strikes me about Urban Flex is the solidarity between both instructors and clientele. Everyone legitimately cares for each other and makes this an amazing place to visit.
Lets go over some of the other variables:
Price: The pricing is incredibly competitive. You will not be able to find the caliber of classes being taught for what is paid anywhere else.
Accountability: You will find that instructors will push you to come to the gym on a consistent basis. You will never feel any shame. You will only sense love from the incredibly friendly staff. It’s an awesome environment.
Equipment: TRX *check* BOSU *check* Spin Bikes *check* Other Assorted Cardio Equipment *Check* Battle Ropes*check* …Needless to say, this list keeps going. It has all the functional equipment necessary to get a quality workout as well as keep workouts fresh.
Cleanliness: Always clean and well taken care of. I once put my booger on a piece of equipment at 24 Hour Fitness and it remained there for months! True story.
Give this gem of a gym a chance. You will not be disappointed.

UFF is the best place EVER! Wonderful people, wonderful workouts!
15 years ago I was a PT! But as the years passed, I went through periods of high stress, developed poor habits and stopped putting fitness first. Eventually, I found myself just… well…fat…yup…fat. Thank God I called UFF, spoke to Sara and got started immediately to recover my health! Now, just over a year later I am about 50 lbs lighter, and in FAR better health!
I had Personal Training with Bean for about 6 mos — which was awesome — then I switched to TRX and circuit training. I am completely addicted to the great workouts at Urban Flex, as well as the incredible kindness and encouragement I have been shown.
In addition, working out here is an incredible value!!! I have been a member of just about every type of gym; the local gyms, the chains, etc. — there is just nowhere around that gives you so much for such an incredibly reasonable investment!!! (Check the website and see for yourself!)

Recent post for 2015. Just a warning. I was a great customer for a year until they became irrationally greedy. TRX is a great work out but you might want to give your $$ to a more respectful and more ethical business. Research this. One class = $ 18. Compare to buying 10 classes = $ 12 per class. The sad thing is they put an EXPIRATION DATE on the classes you pay for. How does your $$ expire? Hmm… This seems illegal and unfair. I asked them to let me use my remaining classes for my girlfriend. I sent them a nice letter of explanation with examples. They said I was bullying them and became defensive. An uneducated response. My expectations since I was challenging their business pricing ethics. They offered a very selfish response. Never an apology. Yes, My words here are true. The pricing issue is on their website. Their response was to try and pacify my requests with fake kindness. The point is… give your money to a company who will respect you and treat you like they actually value you and not just your money. A business with ethical standards. I am not angry. I am just advising you that they are becoming more greedy due to the recent increase in their family size. Adopting kids and In vitro fertilization is expensive but it’s not my decision to pay for it by getting taken advantage of. Their 2015 group class prices increased by 20%. Quite a jump. Bye bye Sara and Bean… have fun being selfish with your pricing. My new TRX class is just a good and they are respectful with their package pricing deals. ~Shanti…

Hands down, best TRX gym in Sacramento! Love it!

If you want to work REALLY hard and look great naked, come here. If you want to show up, make excuses, and half-​ass your way through a workout so you can post on your Facebook page that you «worked out», this place isn’t for you (there is a 24hr and CalFit nearby — go there and don’t get in my way). UFF is not for everyone. Read: It IS for anyone (of any fitness level) wanting to get healthier and fitter. As someone who has been in the health and fitness industry a long time (as an owner, instructor, and member) and had memberships at just about every «franchise» gym out there, this is the only place I will go. It’s a small facility with top-​notch, inspiring, well-​educated, no BS professionals leading classes. Classes include TRX (look it up if you don’t know what it is, it will change your life), spin, and bootcamp. The online schedule is easy to use, the facility is always clean, and the people that take classes at UFF are all just really cool.

Bean are Sara are the best trainers/​coaches I have worked with and some of the best people on earth. They really are special people and they draw a great, supportive and high energy group of clients. I hate working out… but I love going to UFF.

A coworker introduced me to Urban Flex Fitness and I couldn’t be happier! Bean is so inspiring, motivating and she makes you love/​hate her! You feel like you’re getting personal training but in a group environment. This is the best gym I have ever been to and recommend it to everyone. Working out here has changed my perspective on exercise and inspired me to take the challenge of staying active and being healthy.

I had to write you and tell you how much you and UFF mean to me. On the left below is my 9 year anniversary picture from Hawaii last year in October. (before going to UFF). I wouldn’t even take my shirt off walking around on the beach. I wasn’t extremely overweight but I had no confidence in walking the beaches without a shirt. Fast forward to my 10 year anniversary trip that I just got back from yesterday and I took my shirt off every chance I had. (HAHA) I definitely have a long way to go but I felt very comfortable hanging out in just some board shorts. It is so crazy to think that I haven’t really changed my diet (which Mrs. Harrah is all over me about it, LOL) or done anything except show up to your gym 3 days a week. I can’t imagine if I started going 5 days a week and eating healthy.
Anyways, thank you and the whole staff at UFF so much for this amazing gym. I have not stuck with any kind of workout for more than a month or two for at least 10 years. I would get bored and not be motivated. UFF keeps me excited about staying in shape. I don’t know exactly what it is, but it is working for me. I wish everyone would try it out and fall in love with your gym like I have. I couldn’t ask for a better workout or experience. Thank you for keeping me motivated on staying healthy and fit!

I am participating in this gym as part of the recent Living Social deal that offers 8 classes for $ 29 — that is a fantastic deal!
This is a local gym that is run peeps that obviously have plenty of experience in personal training. You really get that local gym flavor and they take the time to know your name and learn about you (even if you are just participating in classes and not getting personal training). I know this because during class, they will call you out whether for good or bad!
The gym is modified probably from a previous residence. There is one room for indoor cycling, another for TRX setup, a third room with some specialized equipment, and an office area. There are different classes offered including boot camp, cycling, and a few different TRX classes. Definitely enough classes to get you fit.
The trainers (Bean and Sara) really take time to come up with different workouts, at least for TRX. They follow a written down script that they obviously have thought about and varied for that particular day and class. It seems that each class is a little different which is great for variety.
The other thing I like is their website. They have a nifty little website that allows you to sign up for the different classes (so that the class does not get overbooked). This way, you know when you go that you have a spot and you will be able to get in without having to workout on top of another person.
The clientale there is very friendly and there is general enthusiasm that everyone is participating in this painful yet healthy journey toward fitness.
Can’t wait to go to my class tomorrow morning…

Bean and Sara at Urban Flex are AMAZING! I have never worked with anyone as dedicated and invested in their clients. You truly feel as though you are their only client and they are happy to assist with exercise, nutrition and meal preparation.
The other amazing part of Urban Flex is the sense of community. You really become part of the Urban Flex family upon joining and it’s amazing how the other members look out for and continuously motivate each other.
I would recommend Urban Flex to anyone, any size, any age! You won’t regret it!

I dont come here anymore due to friend BS drama. However, I wish I still could. I love this place! Bean is one amazing trainer. I fell in love with her small gym, the TRX workout, and her bootcamp routines.
I started going here when I was unemployed. A friend of mine paid for me to go, and I was so grateful. It got me out of the house and got me focusing on me and my health.
When you look at the TRX straps, you dont think much of it. Its not until Bean is done with you that you suddenly realize how out of shape you are and how much fun it is to work out.
Yes, thats right… I said FUN. Bean plays great music, and will switch up the song if your just not feel’en it. However, she has her days where she tells you to Sh! And focus.
If your not sure about joining, go in and talk to Bean. She is friggen awesome. She is extremely educated on fitness, is willing to help you anyway she knows how, and wants to ensure you are doing things safely.
I injured myself at home and went to the gym anyway. I told her what happened, and she worked with me on how to still have an effective workout, without hurting myself more.
Her gym was on Good Day Sacramento, and I have seen little postings here and there. Go in, chat with her, and try it out. Once you do it, you’ll be hooked. I have my own TRX straps in the garage now, and I take them on business trips.
Have fun!

I’m 17 years removed from playing college football, and over the years I’ve been in and out of the gym, and run a lot. Since joining Urban Flex, in November of last year, I’ve never had so much change, so fast. Bean, Sara, and Meghan are amazing motivators, and have helped me find «my fire» again. As of this morning, I’m down 25 lbs, and feel amazing. I’m not sure what a 38 year old is «supposed» to feel like, but I am confident that I do not feel like one. Urban Flex is for EVERYONE! Your fitness level doesn’t matter, as the classes are structured for each individual to get out of themselves what they can… Bean just helps you get a little more. Urban Flex has become a wonderful community for me, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without it. TRX, Bootcamp, Spin, they’ve all contributed to my change. People notice the difference, ask me what I’m doing, and I gush. I’ve recruited several individuals to become a part of this wonderful, healthy environment, and don’t see that ever stopping… who’s next!

Great place to train! I’ve been working out here since Dec and the results have been rewarding! It is the friendliest gym you will ever come across. So to get fit and have fun — check them out!

I trained with Bean when she worked for a chain gym. When she opened her own business, following her was a no-​brainer.
Urban Flex offers group training as well as personal training, and either choice is a better value than personal training at a «big box» gym.
Most of the training at Urban Flex is what they call «functional» training, which I find to be a much more natural and balanced approach than machines and barbells. Many of the classes use the TRX suspension training system, which uses your body weight.
Most importantly for me, Bean is always changing up the workouts which keep the sessions from becoming monotonous or boring.

Urban Flex is that place to go. This isn’t just a place to get your work out in, this is a family of people who just happen to work out. I can’t tell you how many times I have wanted to skip out on my workout only to know that my friends who I have made here will be disappointed that I didn’t show and then I get my ass in gear.
Recently they have added the ability for clients to order meals from a personal chef. You just bring your tupperware in and miraculously a perfectly proportioned healthy meal reappears. I can’t say how much stress that has taken off of me to get a healthy meal at lunch.
Come and join the family, you won’t regret it… unless you’re lazy and whiny, then stay away please.

I trained with Bean back at 24 hour. When she left 24 hour, I left as well. For all you fitness freaks, you understand that divorcing your gym is a pretty significant decision, but Bean’s fitness knowledge, innovative workouts, and commitment to her clients made this decision a no-​brainier. I have been working out since I was 13 and I have never been pushed harder during workouts. The results are amazing.
The pain never felt so good!

Urban Flex Fitness celebrated their grand opening today… Congrats Bean and Sara Harrah!
I have been working with personal trainers since 2000, so I am pretty knowledgable about fitness, weight training and form. Bean has been my personal trainer since 2005 and she continues to find new and creative workouts to push me. Earlier this year, Bean helped me rehab a torn rotator cuff by incorporating some physical therapy exercises in conjunction with my routine.
Urban Flex Fitness also offers regular boot camp and the Navy SEAL inspired TRX suspension classes. Bean makes exercise fun, but most importantly (to me) her workouts are designed for the individual client’s needs. I would obviously recommend this studio to anyone interested in mixing up their workout regimen or trying something new and different. This ain’t 24 hour or CFF kids.

Are you tired of feeling lethargic well Urban Flex Fitness is the place for you, this is definitley not your common gym! The atmosphere is friendly and fun! This is the number one place to get back into shape! Let me tell you I am one of those average people that have to drag myself to the gym! At Urban Flex Fitness I can’t wait to go and experience a fun adventurous workout! These trainers are experinced and push you to the next level!
