How to Begin…
Open Gym Membership
$100 start up. Includes orientation, Lift With Your Head book, personal training session, 2 workshop coupons, and 1st month’s membership.
$55 a month after that, no contracts.
If there’s 2 of you (friends, lovers, family members, we don’t care), $150 start up, $80 a month
Group rates available as well.
Hours: our Open Gym Hours are officially from 10-7 every weekday, but we’re often there earlier and later, so chances are you can sneak in beyond those hours, and sometimes on weekends.
Here’s how it works…
All are welcome, but with that comes a caveat. Unlike corporate gyms, we actually want you to show up and put in the work. But we have a certain way of doing things, and we’re guessing that’s why you’re here. Now most gyms have ‘initiations,’ but for some reason this has come to mean a financial contribution rather than an actual educational rite of passage. We love free money as much as anyone, but since our purpose is to teach and offer a path to empowerment, not to empty your wallet while offering little in true guidance, we’d rather give you something for your hard-earned ducats. How about a REAL initiation?
So your journey with Bodytribe begins with an orientation, and there isn’t a single drop of Kool-Aid involved. Rather our philosophies and techniques are discussed and some hands-on instruction begins, showing you the initial path for using our tools and toys. After that, we schedule a personal training appointment with one of our trainer-interns so you can have a one-on-one lesson, outlining the first steps of your path.
Now your education doesn’t stop there. The initial orientation classes are Wednesday nights at 6:00 (new time!). But don’t stop at just one. Newer members can come ANY of these Wednesday night classes after their initiation to learn even more. These new member night classes offer continuing education as well. Did you see something in the gym or on one of our videos that looked groovy? This is the time to ask about it.
But wait, there’s more…
Our Saturday Morning Tune-Ups are 2-hour workshops featuring a different topic, technique or toy every week. From kettlebells to meditation, powerlifting to program design each Saturday brings a new chance at adding more skills to your arsenal. These workshops are free to members (although if you enjoy yourself, we suggest a $10 donation to keep the love flowing), and $20 for non-members. Seriously, these are no-bullshit workshops of a caliber you won’t find anywhere else in the area, but we keep the prices down as part of our community outreach program. Since these are donation-based workshops, when you join Bodytribe, you get 2 ‘guilt-free’ coupons, where, although no one is ever required to pay, you can learn all you want without any of that nagging guilt of not paying for 2 entire workshops; workshops that will blow your minds and muscles.
Things to Know…
We’re a small town gym with an international reputation. We’re a ’boutique gym’ with a garage gym attitude.
Let’s just get this out of the way now…
we DON’T have:
locker or towel service (B.Y.O.R., bring your own rag)
pool (but there’s a great puddle that forms in the alley during big rains)
a juice bar (we’re a gym, not a restaurant)
anything that even looks like an elliptical machine
(or ANY machine for that matter)
Pilates (we actually want to strengthen our spines)
A sauna (we actually work for our sweat)
a ‘class schedule’ or group exercise program,
(although several of our trainers have groups and classes
that you can read about here.)
We DO have:
World class trainers
Workshops almost every Saturday for members and guests
New Member Orientation for folks who haven’t played this way before
the most unique program design concepts Sacramento has ever seen
many opportunities to learn and grow
a welcoming family/tribal atmosphere
online support and education
cats!!
a book ($22)
a DVD ($45)
Personal and Group Training
Nobody does what we do. Our trainers stand above the rest as being highly skilled in all aspects of strength and wellness. Some of them run regular groups, which make a semi-personal training scenario a little more affordable. Rates vary between trainer, ranging from $55-$65, and the groups vary as well, usually about $15 each. Contact Bodytribe for more info, or contact trainers directly through the trainer page.
Workshops
From weekly 2-hour seminars to 2-day mega-events, we ALWAYS have some more education coming your way. We’re updating our workshop schedule all the time. Come play.
