1500 7th St Ste 1F
Sacramento, CA 95814

The Capital Athletic Club

1515 8th St
Sacramento, CA 95814

Paul C. writes: The Capital Athletic Club is really a five star place - but they almost lose a star because of the snob factor. It's not really their fault - they are trying to be "elite" and they have it nailed pretty good.  

That said - I spend $100 a month to go…

Ubersheist G. writes: I've used these guys a couple of times.  They're very close to my house, so I figured I might as well try them.

2.  Good work.  They put in quality…

Home Depot

Jimboy's Tacos

7401 Fair Oaks Blvd
Carmichael, CA 95608
