“I’ve been a member of this gym for about 3 months, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. The environment here is incredibly welcoming and inclusive, making it easy to feel like part of a community from day one. The coaches are exceptional—they hold us accountable at just the right level, pushing us to improve without overwhelming us. What really stands out is that they genuinely care about our progress. There are regular check-ins to ensure we’re happy with our workouts and our goals are being met.
What I love most is that we aren’t just another number or follower to them; each member is valued, and it feels like a true community. I couldn’t be happier with my experience at this gym, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive and motivating fitness environment.”
“I made a last minute decision not to be lazy on my trip here to Merced. Looked up CrossFit gyms in the area. I reached out and got a quick and very welcoming response from the owner John. I dropped in the next morning, met John, got a tour of the facility then was able to do my own thing during their Saturday open gym time. The facility is amazing! One of the biggest I have seen, super clean and organized as well. The best part though, the few members that were there, very welcoming and friendly as well! I have dropped into several gyms throughout my travels and you surely get different vibes from different gyms. This gym has an amazing vibe and I will definitely drop in again when I am back in town. I know that if I lived in the area, this would be MY gym! Loved it that much! Thanks for a good gym sesh CrossFit Merced!”
“I have done CrossFit here and there in the past but never really gave it my all because I didn’t feel like I belonged or wasn’t confident in the gym environment previously. Midstate changed that for me! AMAZING PEOPLE AND AMAZING COACHES. I am now an avid 5 day a week member and have seen so much improvement mentally and physically! They truly care about their coaching staff and members. 10/10 recommendation.”
“i love this gym already, and I love the coaches, but it's missing a schedule thing, what I suggest is a big calendar for days that the gym is closed, so that people aren't mixed up with the days the gym is open and not open.”
“My sister Inlaw and my self have been members for a year and just love it. Trainers are so motivating, kind and ready to give you the best work out. There classes and music really pump you up to give it your all and get a great work out. Price is very reasonable and you will definitely get your moneys worth.”
“I’ve had the pleasure of working out in Olympus Athletics gym. During my experience the owners were welcoming, respectful, informative, and pleasant people to be around. I’ve been an athlete from middle school through college and what’s unique and about their gym aside from what’s mentioned above is the versatility of their workout equipment and techniques. I learned a lot on my first visit. If you want a personal experience, I’d recommend this gym.”

“Been going here since August 2022. Nice gym, I've been to both In Shape's in Merced and various other PF's in California, I can say this one is the cleanest and the men's locker room doesn't smell much compared to the others. Nice equipment and facilities. Staff is polite as well. My only gripe is the amount of people sometimes but thats like every gym. They should start charging 30 and have Black card as base membership or something.
Overall 9/10!”

“I enjoy in shape health clubs for three very good reasons… Sometimes I walk in and I feel like I’m at an adult playground, other times I walk in and feel like I’m at a spa, and when I walk out, I feel like wonder woman.”
“In-Shape supports many aspects of human health, most obviously through weights and cardio equipment and fitness classes which are all wonderful tools. What I like, EQUALLY, however is that it supports relaxation and stress reduction to the community via yoga classes, a jacuzzi and pools, as well as saunas. The G Street facility specifically is very panoramic in its support of the community. You see both youths and elders at this gym as well as everyone in between. It is friendly, clean, and well-maintained. Christopher McNeela”

“As a gym, this place is great. It has decent equipment, it has plenty of space, and overall clean for the most part. My main issue is the maintenance of this place. The wipes are almost always empty, the trash is usually spilling out, and there is literally no toilet paper every time I’ve had to use the restrooms. I enjoy the early morning workouts so if someone is able to make sure everything is restocked before your office hours that would be awesome.”
“Curves is absolutely the best workout place for women! There is always friendship, music, exercise videos, games, contests- just every kind of fun thing you can think if. The coaches inspire you but don’t hound you. It’s the best place to go to get strong, feel better, and lose weight! Come do a free workout to see if it’s right for you!! ?”
