She doesn't just focus on workouts--she helps build confidence, consistency, and the mindset needed to keep showing up. Coach Lu knows how to push you while still meeting you where you are. On days when I doubted myself, she reminded me of how far I've come and encouraged me to keep going. Her energy, positivity, and belief in her clients make a massive difference. Because of Elevate Fitness and Coach Lu, I feel stronger, more confident, and more committed to staying fit more than ever before. If you're looking for a gym that feels supportive and a coach who truly cares about your progress, I can't recommend Elevate Fitness--and Coach Lu--enough.

Sonoma Strength Academy Crossfit Proprius

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.

The parking lot has lots of spaces and it's free. The restroom is well maintained, port a potty style, no running water. Once on the beach it's a smaller area, easy walk to the water and the rocks at the end. There's a small tide pool area too. A nice relaxing beach with not many people, so can enjoy it almost to yourself. There are also many trails off the parking lot. I walked the Kortum Trail - it's a beautiful trail with stretches of wooden paths, sprawling greenery with mountains to on side and the, coast along the other. This trail leads to goat rock. It's a pretty steep incline towards the end but worth the views when you reach the top. It's a 2.3 mile round trip hike. I wish I had read a little history before I went on the hike, I later learned the large rocks you can see from the trail are named "Mammoth Rocks" it's believed the Mammoths rubbed against the rocks and created smooth polished patches 10-14 ft high. Probably end of ice age 10 to 14 thousand years ago. Great area, beautiful state beach and lots of hiking with breathtaking views of the coast.

Shell Beach is a favorite location for beach combing and tide pooling. Note that the walk down to…read morethe beach is a little steep so take your time. There are many hiking trails that start from this beach. Some are flat with gorgeous views if you want to walk and soak in the views. If you are looking for more of a challenging hike with an incline there is the Shell Beach to Pomo Canyon or the Shell Beach to Red Hill loop. You will just need to cross the road. There is a large parking lot and the parking is free. They also have bathrooms that are well kept. Whatever trail you decide you will have picturesque views of the Sonoma Coast. Enjoy this beautiful area on the Sonoma Coast. These pictures are of the Shell Beach to Red Hill hike around 10:30am, before the fog burned off for the day.

Its not benefiting them in anyway and a lot of attention gets put on them leaving the rest standing(swimming) around alone. Implement a plan where someone can retake the first week of classes instead of allowing then to go on to week 2 when they're still struggling with week 1 assignments. Just be aware of this if you decide to sign up for any of their courses.
