Town Center residents are the core of what makes Orangevale Orangevale. GForce is the serious 24-hour training facility just 12 minutes south on Hazel — built for people who show up and do the work.
9580 Oak Ave Pkwy, Folsom — ~12 min via Hazel Ave — Open 24/7 — (916) 542-6732
The Town Center is where Orangevale’s character lives — the stretch along Main Ave and the neighborhoods tucked off Winding Way where families have been putting down roots for decades. This is not a transient community. People who live here chose OV because they wanted a real neighborhood, not a zip code, and they take their community seriously.
That same directness applies to fitness. Town Center residents are not looking for a $10/month gym with broken treadmills or a boutique studio with branded water bottles. They want a facility that works, coaches who know their stuff, and equipment that does not have an “out of service” sign on the best machine. GForce is exactly that — 12 minutes south on Hazel through Fair Oaks into Folsom Village.
The Orangevale Town Center to GForce drive is one of the shortest among all of our OV members. You are not crossing any freeways. It is a straight run south on Hazel, familiar roads the whole way. See our full Orangevale gym membership page for more on what brings OV residents to Folsom.
Commercial racks, cables, free weights, cardio, specialty equipment. Not a Planet Fitness with 30 cardio machines and one power rack. A real training floor for real training goals. The difference is obvious the first time you walk in.
GForce personal trainers are certified and experienced. They build programs that are specific to you — your goals, your schedule, your starting point. Town Center residents who want coaching get it from people who can actually deliver.
5am before the commute or 10pm after the kids are down. No staffed-hours restrictions, no holiday closures. Your membership gives you access 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. That is not a marketing claim — it is how GForce operates.
From the Orangevale Town Center, head south on Hazel Ave. Pass through Fair Oaks — the road continues straight south. Cross into Folsom, continue to Oak Ave Pkwy and turn left (east). GForce is in Folsom Village on the right. Twelve minutes under normal conditions, sometimes less in the early morning.
You are not dealing with freeway merge lanes or unfamiliar roads. It is a neighborhood drive on roads you likely already know from daily life. The Main Ave and Winding Way area puts you closer to GForce than most of your Orangevale neighbors. That 12-minute window is one of the best commute times in our entire membership base. Come use the free trial and see what that drive gets you.
Fair question. The gyms in and near Orangevale are fine for casual fitness use. If you want a treadmill and light weights a few times a week, they will serve that purpose. If you want a serious training facility — commercial equipment, knowledgeable coaching, a full programming system, and 24-hour access without restrictions — nothing in Orangevale matches GForce. The 12-minute drive is the trade for a significantly better facility. Most Town Center members tell us they stop thinking about the drive after the first week.
It varies a lot. Independent lifting and strength training are popular. So are group classes for people who want structure and community. Personal training is used heavily by members who want a coach to build and manage their program. We also have nutrition coaching, senior fitness, and youth training for households where multiple people have different needs.
Yes. Getting back into the gym after time away is one of the most common situations our coaches deal with. The equipment and the environment are serious, but the culture is welcoming — nobody cares how long you have been out of the gym. If you want structure for your return, our personal trainers specialize in exactly that. If you want to ease back in independently, the facility supports that too. Come in for a free trial and we will make sure you know your way around.
The GForce community is built around serious people who train consistently. It is friendly without being social-first — most members are there to work. Over time, members from the same neighborhoods tend to recognize each other and develop real relationships. The Orangevale contingent at GForce is a solid group, and the Town Center has contributed a significant number of long-term members. Call (916) 542-6732 if you want to talk to someone before coming in.
A weekday-only gym membership for active adults 55+ — senior-friendly hours (9:30a–2:30p), personal trainer assessments available, no contract.
No fluff, no gimmicks. Come train at GForce free and see the difference for yourself.
