Fitness & Gyms in Manteca, CA

“I love Jaclyn’s barre classes! They are the ultimate workout. The facilities are really nice and clean as well. I’ve taken a couple other classes and loved them as well!”

“Wicked gym, needed a place to get a sesh in whole only In town for a day. Got me in in less than 10 minutes no hassle. Has the old school training vibe you're looking for, great equipment, classic metal dumbbells. Owner was super friendly and welcoming. Will go back when in town.”

“Where ever you may be being, you don't arrive there alone. Surrounding you are people who've had hands on your shoulder nudging you as you pass through one phase of life into the next. Maybe those people have always been there. Maybe you've put them there. Maybe it has been you alone all along. And perhaps just maybe, those who surround you have an interest in keeping you right where you are now; in the same place you were yesterday. This is true for everyone in any circumstance; in any walk of life. Yet, don't we all wish we can touch upon a bell to call upon our best selves? And should you find yourself in the depths of despair with your health or in other aspects of your life, you need a new cast of characters to surround yourself with. And that is the best part of any good Crossfit gym; the people you'll be surrounded by. All working on the same mission you have: to bring forth that best self that lurks within yourself. They shall inspire and befriend you. You will look forward to seeing them and shall share in each others successes. And soon, you shall inspire and befriend others. As "the rest of those who have come before us, cannot steady the unrest of those to follow." The coaches at Excel are all fantastic. Brutal when the call is for tough love (and it is called for often with me). Insightful when calibration is needed (which is on the daily it seems). They are all leaders and I entrust them in leading me from the depths of my poor health. Each one having nuances in delivery of their guidance. I heed it all. Whether it is in the moment, carried into the next WoD, or extended into other aspects of life. I know they are looking out for me and also want to see that best self lurking within. And so they are always always always encouraging and recognize what successes I achieve, however big or small. Beyond the Crossfit coaches, my yoga instructors are nothing short of world class. For a man like me short-limbed, stocky as I am built, with the flexibility of a iron fence post, it was quite a milestone for me standing at 5'5" and close to 220lbs, to bend over from the waist and to be able to touch the floor. Albeit, with my feet a little beyond shoulder width apart. I know keeping up with yoga, my instructors shall turn me into a pretzel someday. I also know it is a tall order, for my yoga instructors and for me :). Beyond the people and instruction at Excel, the facilities and features of the gym blow my mind. I have been a member of one other Crossfit gym 12 years ago. I have dropped into many more during that time. None of the other Crossfit boxes' features and facilities I have worked out at compare to Excel. The aforementioned yoga presides within the same box, all with the same membership dues! And that box is huge! When most Crossfit boxes have just enough room for a single rig, Excel has 4 with plenty of room to spare. There are almost always more C2 rowers than attendees in class. The same holds true with the bikes. Never a shortage of bars, weights, or kettlebells. I've never had to get in line to change into workout clothes. There are restrooms and separate locker rooms with showers! And the Excel Body Scan van tops it all off. I had one free scan for being a new member and the data it provided me really let me know where I am at as I reach towards my fitness goals (the road is going to be long one). But I intend to leverage the bodyscan every 4 months to keep myself on track. It is a dynamic aspect of Excel Health & Fitness that I can't think exists at many other gyms, let alone Crossfit boxes. It speaks to the investment the owners have committed to for their members. My membership at Excel started on 6/1/2023. At the time of this writing, 3.5 months later (9/17/2023), I have scraped away 33lbs from my formerly obese 216lb body and am now down to 183lbs. None of that would have been possible by myself alone and that is perfectly ok to admit to myself. Remember, where ever we may be being, we do not arrive there alone. It is also ok to admit”

“Great powerlifting gym! I dropped in to squat and bench. I thought I was in the wrong place at first because it's a residential neighborhood, and you go in through Kyle's driveway to the gym, which is his garage. Kyle was super welcoming and he gave me a brief tour. A lot of equipment in a compact space. Calibrated 25-kg plates and the rest are pound plates. Two squat racks, a bench rack, and a deadlift platform, plus a bunch of accessory stuff like an air bike and kettlebells.”

“has been the best decision made in 2022.. THE MANTECA CAMP is full of supportive people . the staff is amaizing , coaches and the front desk super sweet always . I would recommend ?✅️ !! don't miss out they have great offers and investing in ourselves is the best thing we can do ?️‍♀️✅️ AFF FAM?”

“Been grinding with youngthayer for the last couple years! If you want to play collegiate football, basketball, baseball & track & field. I highly recommend to show up on days you don’t want to Just Train! Those days are the best days that break you and make you better! Congrats on the two years of Just Train facility & more positive training years to come. Thanks to Just Train I got a full ride scholarship to Eastern Washington University. Just Train for me ready for my D1 program! Go harder then you did yesterday, go harder then you did last month, go harder than you did last year and you will see results!”

“I've been working out and drinking the shakes from here for about four and a half years. It's part of my daily routine now. The workouts are challenging and the shakes are amazing. I love that they're always upgrading the equipment and adding new things to the gym. It's very clean and well kept. I love the owners too! There are always weight loss challenges to keep us motivated! Coaches are always following up with us and make sure we're on the right track. It's my home away from home.”

“I love this gym. I belong to all the In-Shape facilities and live in Stockton, but I love coming to Manteca. Originally I came for the outdoor pool and swim aerobics alone. But as I've been coming, I've discovered the wonderful instructors and I've added several indoor classes. The manager Sean is friendly and helpful to everyone and inspires the staff to be really inviting. They always say hi. Many people are regulars here and I feel like it's a family of sorts.As a 60-plus year old, I have to say that I'm stunned to realize that I'm in about the best shape I've ever been in. Which is hard to believe, but this year I've completed several hikes in the Sierras at high altitude over 13 miles and I would never have been able to do if it weren't for the motivating instruction I've received and the strength I've built with their help. I never thought I'd enjoy going to the gym like I am now. A great experience.”

“Great location and functional equipment. There are many different types of equipment for all types of exercises. Dumbells go up to 100 and hopefully higher soon. Busy during your typical gym times but my favorite in the area.”

“I love this place and always have The New location is even better, w/ a pool and basketball gymnasium The owner and staff are always professional and more than polite. I would recommend this FULLY Stocked gym to All. I'm Dan Freeman and I approve this gym”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Planet Fitness has exceeded my expectations. The staff is friendly and always ready to assist. The machines are consistently clean, and the well-maintained restrooms add to the overall hygiene. Plus, the abundance of parking spaces makes each visit convenient. Highly recommended for a positive workout experience! #PlanetFitness #FiveStarReview ?”
