California Family Fitness, Sacramento

The press certainly likes California Family Fitness, granting the exercise venue such awards as a top spot on KCRA-3's 2012 [A-List](http://kcra.cityvoter.com/california-family-fitness/biz/23355) and _Sacramento News and Review_'s [Best of Sacramento 2012 Award](http://sacmag.com/Sacramento-Magazine/Best-of-Sacramento/Annual-2013/The-2012-Best-of-Sacramento-Reader-Votes/). The press, however, isn't the top priority for the gym's staff; they believe that, to quote their [about CFF page](http://www.californiafamilyfitness.com/member/about-cff), “awards don't greet you at the door.” Instead, they depend upon their dedicated staffers at the front desk, chaperones at the Kidz Club play zone, and personal trainers to make families of clients feel at home. Certified personal trainers take aspiring exercisers of all ages through regimens that make use of the 16 available locations' ample workout machinery. Seasoned instructors, meanwhile, hold group fitness classes, free with a membership, fostering community as they incinerate calories during high-energy Zumba, step aerobics, Turbo Kick, and Hip Hop Hustle. Nine of the locations boast pools that host swim lessons taught by certified water-safety instructors. While hitting the gym, parents can drop wee ones at [childcare](http://gr.pn/tmgY9A) havens lined with playgrounds and age-appropriate investment manuals. After breaking a sweat on the exercise floor, clients can also shed excess body moisture in saunas and tanning beds.
