UPDATE: Over 20…read moreyears in fitness, I've never stayed with a personal trainer longer than one year. 5yrs later, I am still here. I know I can't get his workouts anywhere else. No one has been able to whip me into shape like LP has and I've kept the weight off. There is no one else! There's a method to his madness and his workouts are methodically calculated for dialed in results. He shows up every day for us. No one has pushed me as hard as he has. And this is all for the greater good. If I go MIA, he checks in with me. He truly holds me accountable as any coach should. He's in a tier all on his own though. A tier of shear excellence. His results are amazing and are life changing. Everyone in his studio is an athlete. Thank you so much coach.

Somehow 8 months have gone by and I can say without any doubt that Team LP is AMAZING! I can't…read moreimagine going back to whatever I was calling "working out". Sure, I had a gym membership, actually many memberships and personal trainers but the inevitable would happen and I would make excuses for not going. No more!!! I've been going 5-6 days a week for eight months and have NEVER had the same workout twice! No joke. Everyone is welcoming, supportive and all around nice. I look forward to going everyday. It's not a regular gym where you show up whenever you want. You sign up online and show up ready for a great workout. It's challenging but 100% doable if your committed. After a few months I convinced my wife to try it out. She didn't think she would be up to it. Now, she too goes almost everyday. The only thing we wish to be different is that we would have stopped in years ago! I'm not in my 20's anymore but physically feel that great everyday! LP- you are truly the best, thank you!!

I'll give 2 starts because I def had a burn after the work out, and the people here are nice…read more Now as someone that actually has been consistently to the gym not in a class there are a few things I observed that I believe you should pay attention to. Yes these are trainers, BUT they make working out a competition between everyone in the class, they make you GO FAST which is NOT how someone should work out unless you want to get hurt. In the class I noticed a lot of people have very POOR form, rounded back, lifting too heavy for themselves, not taking their time to really get good form in. I've heard other people in class say they were sore for 5 days, that's not good. You are pushing people too hard that are just getting in and they will hurt themselves! The first class a trainer will typically evaluate you, ask you if you have any injuries , and weakness, and pain, none of this was done my first day which would make it very easy for someone to hurt themselves. Not to mention there's no stretching before or after? I don't trust these guys, for the amount your paying. (175$ monthly) they should really be focusing on being a trainer and the form of people paying them. You sign a full disclosure if you hurt urself it's not their fault.... if you're paying this much.. I would recommend getting a trainer from a gym. No one in this class is super fit besides the trainers and that should tell you something ...

I loved how there were different stations in which I did different workouts. I punched all different types of bags. The speed bag and wrecking ball bag was my favorite. I was taught form and some technique. This was a really unique experience and highly recommend to get in some HIIT!

Shelli won The Press Democrat Best of Sonoma County Best Personal Trainer 2016! Her classes are never the same because she is constantly learning new exercises from the worldwide conferences she attends. Shelli teaches Tabata style cardio/core and strength training along with other methods including resistance training, and balance/strength training. She posts her class schedule a month in advance so you can bring a mat and weights if needed. I look forward to her classes because she is a remarkably fun person and is very dedicated to be the very best trainer. She truly cares about her clients and always makes sure we are safe and our form is correct. I can't wait to take my next class! Thank you, Shelli!

Shelli is always prepared with modifications for beginners or those with injuries. Every session is different and filled with a wide variety of exercises for short periods of time.

Many of the workouts are held outside, which is great as well. I can't recommend Shelli and Fitness on Fire enough!

She coaches alternatives for those that need to adjust for injuries and for those who want/need more challenge. Workouts are a great mixture of predictability and variation. She makes sure we work appropriate muscle groups. I also like that she switches up formats and timing, including days with tabata or circuit training. Schedules are set to make it easy to find a good time, for both west and east coast members. If I miss a morning, I can catch the same workout later. When Staci has conflicts (not often) she has excellent substitute instructors. I've loved Staci's program because it keeps me motivated to start each day with a workout, and I feel stronger and fitter as a result.

Seriously, this place is awesome. This is where you need to go if you want to get fit…read more My main hobby has always been adult ballet classes. About a year ago I started training at a local gym to get stronger for dance. I struggled with figuring out what to do at the gym. I sort of just bounced between machines with no focus. It wasn't efficient and I was struggling to see results. The only times I ever got a great workout in, is when I worked with a trainer. Working with a trainer is great, but can be very pricey. Long story short, I've heard of CrossFit many times and was always intrigued. I knew that CrossFit provided a "workout of the day". This is what I wanted. I was tired of guessing what I should do at the gym. I love that I can show up, do the scheduled workout, feel great, and go home. CrossFit may seem expensive, but it is a great value. You always have a coach there to help you with your form, and the workouts are planned. It's basically the same as working with a trainer, but you're in a class environment, which is very motivating. So I decided to go and try a class at Sonoma Strength Academy. I was pretty nervous, it seemed very intimidating. The owner Beejan (who is extremely helpful) reached out to me and encouraged me to try a class. He found out I was a nurse and informed me that they offer a great discount for nurses! After just one class, it was obvious that this place is extremely welcoming to new people. It was also clear that all fitness levels are welcome. Every workout can be scaled. So literally anyone can do the daily workouts. The coaches will show you the modifications that you can do. The head coach Chuck encouraged me to take "on-ramp" classes with him (which I recommend doing). Taking these classes helped me learn the basic foundational movements of CrossFit. I was able to feel more confident when I joined regular classes. Chuck is a fantastic coach who has helped me tremendously since I've started (and he has great taste in music). You can tell he cares about the members and their progress. The other coach I've worked with since starting is Jessica, she's so amazingly helpful. She's very encouraging to new people (such as myself) and has also given me great tips about recovery at home. You can tell she's passionate about being a coach. The location is a great and the gym is huge. Right now during the pandemic, the workouts are being performed outside. Which has been going smoothly (I actually really love exercising outside). I heard that they have plans to move their already large gym, into an even larger building right next door. Also- there is plenty of parking here, which is very convenient. The gym has new owners, and it appears that they are putting their heart and soul into making improvements to this establishment. I have not been a member for long, but I can tell this CrossFit gym is going places. Every class I attend I leave I feeling stronger. The people who attend this gym are friendly and welcoming. There is a real sense of camaraderie and community. I'm glad I found this place! I plan on sticking around for many years to come.

I found my new box!…read more I have been doing CrossFit for about 2 years. I left my other box due to disagreements on the training and programming. I took 6 months off while doing the traditional gym route. After missing the rush and encouragement I got from CrossFit, I decided to find another family that fit my goals and style. I tried a couple of others before I found Sonoma Strength Academy. They are adequately equipped and the size is large enough to allow the classes to have enough room to not be on top of each other. It is relatively clean and the training is great. I love the evening class times and the price was the least expensive in Santa Rosa for 3 times a week. Chuck does a great job making you feel welcome and coaching you through the workouts. He will correct your form and give you tips to be more efficient. The workouts include strength, cardio, and agility and he throws in mobility work also. It is fun and challenging every time I go. Unless something changes, I have found my long term, workout family.
