Review from Laura Lee B.

Another reviewer referenced TTBF as a boutique gym ~ what a great description! Boutique in that it is special and not the usual 'get your workout on/in and get out' environment. TTBF staff focuses on making exercise a way of life by offering top-notch equipment, group classes, personal training (I've been working w/ Shenan...great trainer!) all with a focus on teaching best form and endurance options. The environment at TTBF is extremenly professional, accomodating and supportive with solid options for clients/athletes with a wide variety of goals. Highly recommend...

Super Fantastic Boutique Fitness Studio in Sacramento! All of the classes are excellent! Robyn, owner and trainer, holds extensive fitness knowledge as well as the ability to focus activities for all fitness goals and abilities. Only fitness studio that I would recommend in Sacramento.

Simply could not be happier in any way. I was in classes with the owner (Robyn) when she was at Healthy Habits in Midtown. She absolutely turned my life around and started me on the path to being healthier in all ways. I was 42 years old and 450 pounds a decade ago, and never felt judged by her. She wanted to help, and worked to help me.
I am 250 pounds less now, and decided I wanted to get back into a real fitness program again, after a few years of hit-and-miss on my own. I needed some structure, advice and support.
I tracked Robyn down and was so happy to find out she has her own exercise studio now. I immediately signed up. Two months into training and I am feeling great -- stronger, more stamina, less stress. She is as good a trainer as one could ever hope to find, and the studio is beautiful, will-lit, quiet and comfortable. And yes, the coffee aromas from Peet's are a plus! -

Time To Be Fit is an excellent core training/Pilates/yoga studio that opened a few months ago. It's tucked away behind the Peets at 37 & J, you can smell the coffee sometimes as it wafts through the workout rooms.
There are some combined cycle/floor mat classes, Yoga, stretching, and my favorite - the core circuit workout. These classes are limited to eight participants and you get lots of personal attention. It usually starts out with cycling to get the heart rate up, then a combination of strength training and cardio in various stations among the two main rooms of the studio. For instance one session might go - cycling, Bosu plank pushups, bicep curls, cycling, leg lunges, triceps, cycling, chest presses, ball sit-ups and so on. You can get class cards for most of the instruction, but the core circuit requires a month sign-up and is priced separately from the others.
Of course all the workout equipment is brand new - lots of spin cycles, arm and leg machines, free weights, foam rollers and the first-class Pilates room. I have to say I'm not a Pilates person. Those machines remind me of medieval torture devices - all those straps and wires and pulleys - ugh. But I'm sure owner Robyn and trainer Jill are extraordinarily competent in what they do, and I've been very happy with my own non-Pilates experience.
TTBF's decor is modern, stylish and soothing in greens and earth tones with mixed textures and materials, it's got a green vibe. There are three attractive rooms joined by a long, photo-lined corridor, plus a reception area with drinks etc. for sale, and a serene, very private outdoor patio replete with chaise lounges, plants and a fountain. One nice touch is that there are no paper towels in the restrooms - just baskets full of freshly-laundered, white terrycloth hand towels.
The clientele seems to be mostly women; the place has a friendly, non-threatening atmosphere, more emphasis on the positive than pushiness or browbeating if that makes sense. I'm always sweating when I leave, a good sign.
I've been going here for a couple of months and have noticed an improvement in my overall fitness and strength. Robyn, one of the owners, is a former ballet dancer and gave me tips on what I need to work on to improve my passion - salsa dancing (core, core, core). And when I know I'm going to be out late dancing, trainer Jill lets me go easy on my legs. Now how unusual is that?
The only thing I wish they'd do is have a combined class card for the core circuit AND the regular fitness classes, but that's a relatively small thing for the level of training you get. -

I really enjoy this boutique gym. The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell they want their clients to get the best workout at a pace that's good for them.
I recently started working out here because I left another boutique gym downtown (HH). What a contrast in both professionalism, skill, attitude and cleanliness!
For the same price, I think Time to Be Fit is awesome and well worth the money. The $100 unlimited package is the best value! Plus, unlike other boutique gyms they have Sunday and Friday classes. -

Time to be fit is a FABULOUS studio gym which specializes in Pilates, Yoga, and other core exercises. The owners are very knowledgable not only about workouts but also nutrition and are very involved with the running of their studio. All the trainers provide a 'hands on' approach and truly make you feel like family. They are excellant about monitoring ones various aliments to ensure the correct work out is being recommended.
Time To Be Fit is an excellant neighborhood studio gym!!!! -

i love ttbf! i've been searching for a good pilates studio since i moved to sacramento and have tried a few around town. i've finally found my pilates home at ttbf. the instructors are knowledgeable and friendly, the owners are hands-on in their business and get to know you by name, and prices are very reasonable. their pilates studio has 5 reformers and classes are limited in size so you get a little more personalized attention.

Time to be fit offers a mix of Personal Training and group class options. I can take a yoga class one day, a cycle class the next and choose from mat pilates, core circut, cardio circuit, and pilates reformer classes. TTBF is great if you are experienced in Pilates or have never done Pilates before. I have done pilates mat classes for the past 10 years, but the instructor makes all the difference in the world. Robyn the owner of TTBF taught my class and the difference between classes was like night and day. She gives little tips throughout the class on how to get the most out of every movement, and how to stay connected to your body. The classes offer modification options for challenge the advanced as well as the beginner. They also have multiple Pilates reformers and the gym is beautiful.
