Ellen's thoughtful space and caring facilitation provided a sense of safety and a sense of home. I look forward to diversifying my yoga practice with her variety of modalities offered. The yin class was an especially welcome change to my typically fiery vinyasa flow. Highly recommended!!

I have thought long and hard of how to write a review on Sierra Flow Fitness (SFF). I wanted to…read moregive SFF a review in a different light, away from the typical reviews done on a business. I feel it's important to tell a story, MY story to help convey the importance and the impact this business has had on my life. So I present here a thank you note I gave Susan and April (the owners of SFF). What I love about SFF is the different fitness levels tailored to its members, from the beginners (group classes) to more serious members (semi personal training) to experienced gym members (rooms with fully equipped machines). For beginners and on-going members who need guidance and structure with their work out, SFF offers so many different varieties of group classes from Dance, Spin, Yoga, Cardio Kickboxing, Pole Dancing to Tone and Sculpt, Weight Training to Endurance Training, etc. I currently am taking 15-17 classes weekly and that IS NOT all the classes there are! I struggle (it's a good struggle!) to take less because each class is unique with a different focus. For the asking price, it's a bargain! The instructors are motivating, supportive, and encouraging with their own styles of teaching.  The semi personal training sessions are offered throughout the day, from 5am to 6pm, 5 days per week in small groups of 4-6 members where the instructors work with individuals on different machines, focusing on correcting technique and form.  Then there is the fully equipped gym for members who want to workout by themselves. SFF has 4-5 gym units that are separated from each to give you that home gym feel with so much privacy and coziness. Better yet, you can work out 24/7 at your own pace, your own time and you can access to the gym without anyone checking you in or out. The gym is never too crowded to make you feel trapped. It feels like you have your own gym at home with the exception of driving to it.  And if you come often enough to become a regular, you might get a call from Susie to check in on you when you are absent in one of her classes. You will not find another gym that is as unique, different and supportive as SFF locally. Be ready to be motivated. Be ready to be inspired. Be ready to turn work out into a life style. Sierra Flow Fitness did all that for me and has changed my life for the better.
