Kime Performance who is part of this gym is awesome.  I had a kneee surgery a few months back and was told by the surgeon that I would forever have... read more issues and pain associated with the repairs made.  I'm here to say that because of the great work by Tony and Russ that I am stronger now than before surgery and progressing in a great way.  This place is tremendous and if you have a desire to get strong and well, I'd suggest looking into the option of Minis House of Pain.

  I have been working out at Mini's for a couple of years and have noticed nothing but positive changes in my life. All the coaches care about my mental and... read more physical strength. They take time to work one on one and make sure that technique is correct and performed safely.
I have been able to expand my athletic development and started my new sport of Olympic Weightlifting.

  I'm your traditional 40-something suburban mom who's metabolism is slowing down.  I've run a few marathons and half marathons...getting tired of running, walking, gym cardio.  Ended up gaining 10 lbs... read more over last year.

I was very nervous trying new gym that was weights/reps focused.  I have no history of weight training.  Day crew of Tom, Jen and Roberto are great.  The team is very focused on proper form, slowing the exercise down for max effect, proper breathing and being safe.  I love my time here.  Yes it's hard work, yes I sweat my butt off, yes I am exhausted at end of day...but I feel great

Love the Saturday boot camp.  Trainer Hammer is awesome too.

Adults must wear long sleeved shirts...not a pickup joint.  You're here to sweat, follow the trainers direction and get in great shape.

Members are of all ages, shapes and sizes.

This is not your father's gym...but if it was....he's definitely in waaay better shape than you.

  So, I joined MHOP a week before the COVID lockdown, and that short week of classes proved to me that MHOP had something different to offer. The coaches were and... read more still are fanatics on form first, resistance second. During the lockdown,  Vince and the coaches ensured that I was continuing to work out via Youtube classes, with regular contact from the coaches via cell phone conversations. This went on for two+ months. When it was time to get back to the gym, and have in-person workouts, my initial impression was reinforced. The coaches ensured I was moving correctly, safely and mixing up the workout routines that differ daily, and are changed entirely on a roughly monthly basis. Great to have the movements changed, and keep you always looking forward to the next day's workout that lasts ~50 minutes. At the end of each class you will have been challenged, but never embarrassed if you cannot complete the workouts. They are goals, and as Coach Gabe says "This isn't the Olympics". You will have at least one coach monitoring you as you progress through the workout. There is always at least on pair of eyes on you at all times to ensure there is no 'Pain' at MHOP other than minor (good) aches after you're on the way to your car to go to work/home. The gym is clean, and very open. The gear is wiped down and sterilized after each use. The gym has rollup Garage doors to keep the airflow going naturally; the HVAC is shutdown during COVID to minimize airborne contaminants. And while the equipment is top notch, the real difference at MHOP is the people that run the place. You really do feel a part of a family here. They know your name as soon as you walk in the door, and the coaches remember your limits to keep you motivated without  feeling you have come up short. Since coming to MHOP, I feel a commitment to continue on, and if you don't show up at the class of your choosing, you will likely receive a phone call from Vince or your class' coach to see if you are OK. I don't like getting phone calls, and so far, I've only received one. It's a matter of respect. They respect your time, and in turn, you should respect theirs. So, show up on time and give your best effort for ~ 1 hour. It's in your best interest after all, and your results will reflect that respect and effort. Make the call, and come to MHOP. It's the best place in town to get rid of some sweat.

  This place is awesome.  I have been going for more than a year and it has been transformative.   With a focus on movement and strength, they have a program... read more that works for every body, every age.  It's a  welcoming place where folks of all shapes and sizes can get a really great workout that you'll want to keep coming back for...   HoP offers a focused strength and movement based fitness program that changes and challenges you daily with a coaching and training staff that is fantastic - they keep you motivated, moving, and safe.

This is not one of those large sports clubs - it's better.  You come here to work and work hard. You go to move and sweat.  Worth the effort, as Vince says - "It's the best part of your day".

  LOVE this place. I've been with HOP for 5 months, was previously with a personal trainer. They've taught me how to properly stretch, to refine my food, and to gain... read more strength properly. The result is an additional 5% body fat loss.  I look amazing, I feel great (good energy and not hungry), I'm MUCH stronger, and injury-free. All the staff has been great, helpful and unassuming. I feel at home as there is a wide variety of clients along side each other (from elementary kids to seniors). If you want progress and results, this is the place!

  Joined a few months ago and can't believe what I've been missing for the past 10+ years.  Stop wasting your money on the other clubs!  Vince has set up a... read more wonderful place to come and work out, feel welcomed and help produce results.  The staff here is what truly sets this place apart from any other gym I've experienced.  Everyone of them is awesome!  They always have a smile on their face and the enthusiasm is contagious.  They motivate, inspire and get the most out of you.  I've dropped 10 pounds, begun to reshape my body, sleep better and just FEEL so much better.  I look forward to going to my workouts and I can honestly say I haven't felt that way in a long, long time.  Credit to Mini's House of Pain!  Give it a shot.. you won't be disappointed.

  This is a place where a 90 year old can safely come to get fit and strong alongside a 25 year old professional baseball player or MMA fighter.  It is... read more truly an exceptional performance and movement based fitness center.  You won't find better coaching in the area.  Period.

  I don't usually write reviews but I couldn't help myself.  Mini's House of Pain is hands down the best gym in El Dorado Hills.  I look forward to working out... read more every day! The workouts are challenging, but not intimidating.
