From the reviews

Amenities like lap swimming, and water aerobics. I do wish others would respect others time when using equipment on the 29 Minute circuit. It is very difficult to work through it correctly and working every muscle group when people use one station for several minutes instead of the 45 second timer, and jump right in…

We absolutely love our gym family here at In‑Shape Merced Yosemite Ave! The staff is outstanding across the board, and we must especially thank Cherrell in the Kids Zone. She is incredible — warm, attentive, and truly talented with children.

★★★★★ — Mrs, Feb 2026

I am so glad to have joined this In-Shape gym on Yosemite! I joined other gyms but had no motivation. That gym was just one big room. Not fun. But this gym is so fun to go to. The staff is all so friendly. Michelle the manager is the best.

Your first hot yoga class at In-Shape Fitness

Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel (or rent them here), water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
