    I could not be happier with my decision to start training at Studio Fitness. All of the staff and clients are so welcoming and supportive. Bryanna is a great match for me as my trainer. With a customized approach, in just a couple of months I am making great strides towards my goals. Hip and knee pain are very much improved. I recently moved to Santa Rosa and am excited to be getting better shape so I can take advantage of all of the great hiking in the area.

    I absolutely love Studio Fitness! The owner Shelly is so easy to talk to and I really felt like she understood my needs. She paired me up with Bryanna as my personal trainer and let me tell you Bryanna is a wonderful trainer and an even more wonderful person. She is very patient and kind and after my very first session I was already feeling stronger in both body and mind. My experience with Studio Fitness has been such a blessing and I highly recommend them💖

    What a special place. Not your basic big box, souless gym. Trainers personalize the approach. Lots of sizes, shapes and ages. Very safe for anyone over 50--which doesn't mean easy. The trainers figure out where each person is, customize the approach and push you as much as you want. For me, that is pushing me a lot. Omar has been a FANTASTIC partner in finding my baseline, matching my determination, and moving me quickly but carefully along the curve. In my first 10 sessions I made significant growth in strength and fitness. Swimming suit arms and abs are on the way. Also, just a very special, supportive place. I have yet to arrive without a warm greeting from the room. Not too much--just always feel welcome.

    I so appreciate Studio Fitness! Gyms historically have made me feel uncomfortable but I never felt that way at Studio Fitness. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and super comfortable, with people of all ages participating in training and working out. It is a great community and I loved my time there (only leaving because I set up my own gym space at home). I have recommended it to friends looking for a gym as well and will continue to do so. The trainers are top notch and very kind. If I ever need access to a gym again I will definitely restart my membership.

    Studio Fitness is a great small gym to receive individual attention and training. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciate that it doesn't have the intimidating feeling of a larger gym. I chose Studio Fitness when I needed to regain strength after an injury and Stephanie has been a very supportive trainer for me.

    After years of neglecting my physical fitness in order to manage work and young kids, I finally developed pain that after a workup revealed nothing more than muscle strains due to lack of overall core and back strength. I knew I needed to prioritize this and was lucky enough to be guided to Shelly, who is incredibly kind and supportive and accommodating. She met with me and gave me specific assignments for core and body weight exercises at home while getting me set up to have a regular personal trainer, following up with me and motivating me in the meantime. She understood my goals as well as my scheduling challenges. Within a few weeks she connected me with Omar, who for the past few months has been ever-upbeat and encouraging in guiding me, challenging me, and helping me to build strength. I can see that I'm getting stronger and the regular sessions have helped shift my perspective about fitness as well. Going to the sessions is always enjoyable, as everyone there is welcoming and kind. Many thanks to everyone at Studio Fitness!

    Studio Fitness is hands down the best personal training gym around. Shelly, the owner, is an incredible trainer and an even better person. I truly can’t say enough great things about Studio Fitness. Every trainer there is friendly, professional, and highly knowledgeable—you can tell they genuinely care about what they do. I’ve been training there for a year now and have seen major improvements in both how I look and how I feel, thanks to my trainer, Patrick. I recommend Studio Fitness to everyone I know.

    Thank you, Shelly, for keeping your membership pricing so reasonable. I feel truly fortunate to be part of Studio Fitness and to work with my personal trainer, Stephanie, who has been such a positive influence on my well-being. Recently, I needed to adjust my training for health reasons, and Stephanie was wonderfully accommodating. She tailored my workouts to fit my current needs while still helping me make progress toward better health. Take care and thank you again for providing such a supportive environment.
