Gyms, climbing and CrossFit in Sacramento. Day passes first, memberships later.
Short answer: Sacramento lets you test-drive a lot of gyms cheaply, and a few for free. Sacramento Pipeworks sells a $30 weekday climbing day pass, both TITLE Boxing Club locations offer a free first class, and Visit Sacramento’s undated day-pass guide lists a $20 day pass at The Boulder Field. Queers and Allies Fitness is a personal training gym built for the LGBTQ+ community and allies.
Midtown has the boutique studios, the Ice Blocks have the heavy bags, and the east side has a warehouse with walls to climb. Here is what each place says in public, so you can try before anyone asks for your card.
