I've been a member for a little over two years now. I absolutely LOVE Inspired Fitness. I've had…read morememberships off and on to many different gyms over the years and this is honestly the BEST place I have ever been. I can't remember ever having this much fun getting in shape before. And so much of it is about the community here: teachers, members and truly ALL the staff. I have taken many of the classes , which are all included in the basic membership plan (except the reformer classes). Boot Camp, TRX and Work it Circuit are my top favorites for strength training and the yoga classes are among the best I've ever taken (vinyasa flow, slow flow and restorative). They have a variety of classes for different levels of fitness and goals. The mat Pilates classes are excellent too and if I need a rest from weights I will often take one of these classes. I also started personal training with Jenn Fuji about a year and a half ago. I was having issues with my shoulder that wasn't fully recovering from an injury. She helped me rehabilitate and rebuild my strength back in that shoulder and I am now free of pain and have nearly 100% of my mobility restored. She is incredibly knowledgeable and encourages me to push just beyond my comfort zone and I have gained so much strength, stamina and self confidence. And we have fun too!!! Another aspect that I really appreciate is that they are always adding new classes to spice things up- sometimes they're pop ups for a limited time and sometimes they stay in rotation. But I love that things never stay static and boring. There is truly something for everyone, so give it a try! If not now, when?

The "Cheers" of Gyms Where Everybody Knows Your Name!…read more I cannot recommend this gym enough! From the moment I walk through the door, it feels less like a fitness club and more like walking into my favorite place where everybody knows your name. The staff is absolutely incredible it feels like a real-life Norm from Cheers experience, lol, where you're welcomed warmly every single visit. The sense of community here is unmatched. It is a truly safe and welcoming environment for absolutely everyone, regardless of fitness level. The instructors are fantastic, knowledgeable, motivating; and they really take the time to ensure your form is correct while pushing you to your potential. I'm constantly impressed by the variety of classes offered. Whether I'm in the mood for high-intensity, strength, or something more restorative, they have it all. Plus, the clientele is wonderful so encouraging and friendly, which makes working out fun rather than a chore. If you are looking for a place that feels like home, has expert trainers, and keeps you motivated, this is it! Thank you Inspired Fitness keep up the great work

As a result, I have had a hard time finding an exercise program that I feel safe doing and that would be impactful enough to show some results. I had a gym membership and even though I could workout at my own pace, I had a difficult time keeping myself motivated and coming up with new routines. Then I tried attending various "low-impact" group classes that turned out to be too strenuous. I had lost any hope of getting back into shape and began to gain more weight from eating poor quality food and living a sedentary lifestyle. Then I found Peter Hirsh and he changed my life. My boyfriend and I have been training with Peter for about 3 1/2 months now and this is the best I have felt in a really long time. He introduced me to kettlebell training which has done wonders for my strength. He also introduced me to Whole 30 and Paleo. Between the kettlebell training and changing my eating habits, I have lost about 12 pounds to date and my chronic digestive issues that I use to struggle with are almost non-existent. Peter's passion for health and nutrition is truly infectious. I look forward to my workouts every week and best of all, I feel safe doing them knowing that Peter is aware of my heart condition and the workouts are customized to my needs. What Peter has done for my health, self-esteem, and confidence is priceless. I simply cannot thank him enough. Life is too short to spend your time feeling sick or unhappy about yourself. If you're ready to make an investment in you and want to change your life, call Peter right now!

I've been struggling with weight loss and fitness for over 8 years due to running my own business and prioritizing everything else but my health. After training with Peter for now over 6 months I have to say that I have made tremendous changes in my life. I have lost over 15 lbs and my body has become really strong and powerful. Peter not only provided great Kettlebell training but turned me on to the Whole30 diet and lifestyle. My wife and I fully adopted this kind of Paleo lifestyle and we both have much more energy and feel much happier in general. Peter is very personable and has a vast amount of knowledge across many different fitness disciplines. He's very conscious and works with you on a holistic approach. If you want to get in shape or improve your current physique I can highly recommend to work with Peter.

Ruthie came as a recommendation from a friend. I'm so glad I looked her up!…read more I've suffered from sciatica pain on and off for many years. I've found Pilate classes and working on a reformer has greatly improved my level of pain and actually takes it away. Consistently working the one hour session with her has improved my body composition for a better body overall. Ruthie is very knowledgeable on how to treat conditions and injuries from chronic pain with simple body movements to achieve mobility once again.

I have been working with Ruthie for just over a year now, on a weekly basis. I was looking for a way build my upper and lower core to ease chronic neck pain from a car accident. When I first contacted Ruth via email, not only did she respond immediately, she provided a detailed analysis of the ways in which she might be able to offer assistance. The attention to detail has not changed since that first contact last summer. She is meticulous about planning each session to focus on ways to build upon work from previous week, while continuing to explore new ideas and challenge me physically. The most amazing part is that she is always ready to make adjustments after checking in with me at the beginning of each session. It is such a pleasure working with Ruthie - she is a fantastic personal trainer! I leave each session feeling like I have done well, made progress and learned key techniques for improving my body mechanics. Ruthie is so patient and intuitive during each session, subtly reminding me of key components of each move, reinforcing the correct alignment/positioning. During the COVID shutdown, Ruthie didn't skip a beat! She transitioned into Zoom sessions, which are amazingly effective. I must admit, I was doubtful about doing personal training via Zoom, but it has really worked well for me and she has been beyond flexible in finding a good time the works for us both. For anyone looking for a capable, knowledgeable, patient and truly amazing personal trainer - look no further. Ruthie is a gem!

I've been working with Hector Sanchez at the StrengthStudio in Sebastopol for about a year now. I…read morewas never particularly fit, preferring to read versus playing sports or other physical activities. So, I was particularly out of shape when I got to the Strength Studio. And, I have had terrible problems with my lower back including a recent 6 month stint in a wheel chair. So, I was nervous as I started to look for someone who could hep me drop some weight and get in shape. Hector (and his team) are particularly non-judgmental and very helpful. It took some time to get into the groove of visiting the studio twice a week. But, in the end, that's the formula for a slow, patient success. I'm never going to be Joe six-pack abs, and never want to be. But I do need to be in much better physical condition. Over the course of this first year, we focused in strengthening the muscles around my lower back to take the strain off. As that started to get better, I was able to begin a gentle weight loss process. Hector is particularly great at making accomplishment possible by offering support, guidance (gently) and a great set of properly maintained and appropriately adjusted machines. I am a very happy customer.
