Sadly, I will be leaving this place after almost two years of going here. The only reason is because I’ll be moving out of Sacramento, wish I could take this place with as this was right near my house and walking distance so it was perfect. Facility feels very exclusive and the 24/7 access with parking was convenient. The machines were always maintained and weights always racked. The people here always have the best attitude and are very respectful of each other. Would highly recommend this place.

Came in from out of state for a family emergency and wanted to find a gym nearby. Found Catharsis and emailed the owner, Paige, off the contact info on their site. He reached back to me, almost immediately, and I was there and set up to come in for my weeks other 3 workouts within an hour. The place isn't the largest, but it had everything I could have needed, plus more, Paige and the fellow members were very friendly and welcoming, and he charged a very fair price. If you're looking for a gym were you'll want to chit chat next to the elliptical, this place might not be your cup of tea, but if you're looking for a place to pray to the iron gods, put in some real work, make some new friends, maybe get hyped up during a PR, then you should definitely check this place out. Don't be hesitant to check this place out due to their powerlifter/bodybuilder aesthetic, I saw people of all shapes and fitness levels getting to the grind. Reach out to the staff ahead of time, before showing up, as you need to badge in to the place.

Excellent gym! Though this is a powerlifting & strength sports-focused gym, general lifters and fitness enthusiasts will “fit” right in (pun intended). The owner is flexible and understanding (which was super important during the pandemic), plus it has 24-hour access. What more can you ask for? Would recommend Catharsis 100%.
