Trainers near Sebastopol

“Laurel is the best! I have done Super Slow for over 10 years and when I found Fit, I knew I was in good hands. Laurel is the perfect blend of knowledgable, tough, encouraging, personable yet professional and fun! I know she will push me just hard enough but always keep my safety a priority. I have seen a dramatic change in my muscle tone and look forward to my sessions. The studio itself is clean and lovely and the machines are state of art. (Plus, there is always great local art displayed on the walls!)“

“I wish I could give Sid more stars because 5 is just "great" but his training is excellent. After just a few weeks, I started recommending this place to everyone I knew because my back pain disappeared! It's not even the reason I started going here (reason was to get in shape and healthier), but it was a very happy side effect of Sid's gentle restorative approach to fitness. For years, I would toss and turn at night from back pain that gradually increased with each hour, sometimes getting me out of bed at 3 or 4am. If I didn't get out of bed when it got bad, then by morning I'd feel practically disabled, struggling to get out of bed with intense pain that felt like my back was going to break just sitting up. But after just a few weeks with Sid, I realized that I'd been sleeping well and popping right out of bed with no pain!!! It was so amazing, and I do credit that to Sid's restorative training approach.Sid's does personal one-on-one training in his own private gym, so there was never anyone else there using the gym at the same time, which was nice because the focus was 100% on helping ensure I was in the correct positions -- not squatting with my knees wrong, or pulling a stretch band with my elbows or shoulders in a damaging position, feet in correct position, etc. If anything was in a position that could cause injury working out that way, he would quickly let me know how to correct it -- and that was HUGE for me, because I know for a fact (from many workout injuries) that I am the type of person who works out incorrectly. Sid helped prevent that, letting me know if I was doing something correctly, or need to fix my position.But there is so much more! I wasn't expecting this, but he also talked to me each time about things like diet, and what I'm doing on my own time to ensure success, and why or why not certain things I'd been trying were (or weren't) effective at this time, at my current fitness level. He really helped me start thinking differently about what I was eating, how it was affecting my body's ability to function properly, how much and even when to eat, how even little tweaks in a restaurant order can save me the amount of calories equal to a one-hour workout. His information helped me decide to stop drinking one particular type of drink I'd often buy, and switch it for a much better one. I could send him questions any time, he is very responsive. He actually seems to genuinely care about you being successful, and is there to help. Sid was, in my experience, the absolute best kind of personal trainer I could ever hope for. I didn't even know they could be this good.Now, I personally tried Sid's personal training gym as a treat for myself for Christmas, as I can't normally afford such a thing. But I really need fitness help, and I liked his website -- it's focus on restorative exercise sounded exactly like what I needed, and I wanted to try it. So I did, and I can't wait until I can go back again! I do absolutely recommend Sid at Back to Fitness to anyone who can afford it because it was truly life-changing for me, and I learned so much even in the short time I was there, and my back still feels better (thank you so much, Sid!). I really can't wait to go back here again.“

“I’ve been a member to several fitness clubs around Santa Rosa and hands down - Insight Fitness is my favorite spot to workout. The staff is kind, knowledgeable and the overall community they attract are all very supportive and encouraging. They have a great selection of equipment and their space is clean and well taken care of. I highly recommend stopping by for a visit and signing up for an introduction and getting a feel for it — You won’t be disappointed!!!“

“I have been training with Hannah for a long time and have always felt challenged and encouraged to achieve my fitness goals . She has been able to modify certain exercises for me, performed ART on areas that needed it and always finds a way to keep the workouts new, interesting and fun! I would recommend Hannah to anyone looking to push themselves to the next level of fitness.“

“I've worked with a few trainers over the years, and Abu is, without a doubt, the most knowledgeable, effective, and fun to work with. I have a history of injuries, so I really appreciate Abu's beginning assessment. He really took the time to understand my concerns and my goals. His expertise as a chiropractor and trainer makes it so I'm able to train and not worry as much about reinjury due to his knowledge of the body and focus on form. And, if something where to happen, he'll know how to support me. Within three months of working with Abu, I was able to do a chin up, and, shortly after that, a pull up! I had pretty much given up on achieving that goal as it's one I've worked on for years to no avail. I am stronger, have more energy, and sleep better since training with Abu. Also like that he didn't assume weight loss was my goal as most trainers do. And he believes me if I say something hurts/doesn't feel right--and sometimes notices before I say anything. I wish this were more common amongst trainers, but, sadly, that's not been my experience. Abu has helped me have a healthier relationship with my body--I now have a lot more gratitude for what my body is capable of and feel proud of what I'm learning to do. Really couldn't ask for a better trainer. If you're looking for one--go see Abu!“

“It is hard for me to step into a gym or join workout groups; I feel insecure, self conscious, and battle my inner deamons of self-esteem. I love the group classes, everyone is so nice, inclusive, motivating, and share in each others personal gains. The instructors push, encourage, and builds confidence though knowledgeable instruction of classes. After each class, I leave feeling happy and morivated. Great therapy for hard days!“

She uses both her intuition and deep knowledge of physiology to find and release.all of the areas you didn’t even know needed attention.

“I’m a professional in the health and wellness industry who has a background in movement and strength training and I have been suffering from foot pain for the past year and a half. I have sought help from many doctors, specialists and practitioners in all sorts of disciplines to seek relief and unfortunately, none of their various treatments and therapy protocols were able to provide lasting results. I had almost surrendered and decided that I would just be “living with pain” forever and then I came upon Thomas’s website.It sounds almost too good to be true, but Thomas helped me in one session more than all of those previous sessions combined. He compassionately listened to my frustrating journey thus far and was able to assess the situation thoroughly before beginning to apply treatment. I immediately knew that this was different. He treated my foot, discussed potential causation, and gave me a few things to do on my own to support our work. I have seen him 4 times and now wake up with ZERO pain every morning.If you are in pain, DO NOT HESITATE to seek help from Thomas. I wish I had a year and a half ago! THANK YOU!!!“

“Dana knows her stuff and knows how to communicate it. More, she listens and reflects and and her advice is informed by open communication, her years of experience, and by keeping up with modern training techniques. 10/10 recommend.“

“The care I've gotten at OSPT has been really wonderful. Working with Robin and Guy after my knee replacement surgery has been a real positive experience in every way. I have gotten up and around in much less time than I had anticipated, and with little or no pain too! Thanks to all of you at OSPT.Greg“

“Sara is WONDERFUL!!!! She is a wealth of knowledge and an expert in her field. I am a travel nurse. I was here on business for six months.I was deconditioned and was suffering from a 10 year old knee injury. Before signing up, I consulted with her and another trainer. I was won over by her therapeutic approach.Over six months, she helped me activate my core and rehabilitate my knee. I am stronger, more flexible, and I have a home exercise program to continue my progress.She also gives THE BEST MASSAGES ?‍♂️I'm so grateful for the investment in my health, and I will continue to incorporate her exercises in my daily routine“
