There is a nice intro offer that lets you try out a lot of different classes to really find the instructor that works for you. You can tell the great instructors as their classes often have waiting lists, but you can almost always get into the class you want either by signing up early or showing up just before the class. The spin studio has Keiser bikes and they are kept well maintained. The room is kept dark, there are 3 rows of bikes, about 36 total. Good ventilation, free towels, and everyone is really friendly. There are two screens that rank all the riders, you can choose to be on it or not. The yoga classes also have great instructors. The hot yoga is really great. It is the only hot yoga I go to, all the other hot yoga studios stick badddd. This room has a hardwood floor, good ventilation, and is kept clean -- so no nasty hot yoga stank. I am so happy to have found this place. It is just so much better -- better facility, better instructors, better classes.

Being new to town I set out to find a yoga studio for my husband and I and a fitness center for…read morecardio classes. I tried a few places in town (sort of like goldilocks, something just wasn't right for me with each of them), before a friend recommended her favorite place, Tone - Pilates, Dance, Yoga. Thank goodness! I just love it! Not only does my membership provide me with the yoga classes and yoga studio I was looking for, but they have the largest schedule of fitness class offered over all the other clubs in town I looked at. So besides yoga, I have also done Pilates mat classes, Cardio Toning, Zumba, Barre toning classes and they even have adult ballet, which looks fun. The owners Alyson and Monica are so sweet (as are all the staff). They all are warm, inviting and inclusive. Tone feels like a community, a community of new friends. Which is also so important. I now recommend it to everyone new that I meet and have had several friends and co-workers join. They offer a free pass on their website, which is also really nice for first time visitors and guests. It is a special place and a warm and welcoming yoga studio, fitness studio, Pilates studio, dance studio and community for everyone and I can't recommend it enough.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. If you're looking for a fitness home that…read moreactually delivers, look no further. First off, the convenience is unbeatable. Being right on Montecito makes it so easy to swing by, and the parking is excellent (which is a rare win!). Plus, being right next to Oliver's Market is a total game-changer--it's become my ritual to grab my groceries right after a session. Why I keep coming back: * Assortment of Classes: There is such a fantastic variety here. Whether you want to sweat or stretch, they have something that fits your mood. * Awesome Yoga: As someone who values the "pause," I can say their yoga classes are top-tier. They are perfect for all levels, from beginners to seasoned practitioners. * Quality Instructors: The staff here is world-class. They are professional, motivating, and genuinely care about your form and progress. It's rare to find a spot that checks every single box--location, quality, and atmosphere. Whether you're a Santa Rosa local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and book a class!

So I've been meaning to write this review for some time, so here we go. I've been with Kaia for…read moreabout a year and a half now. I was looking for a new way to get back into fitness that I was not only going to enjoy but also not going to be paying personal trainer rates for. I wanted more than just a gym membership, where I had to motivate myself to go and come up with the workout. But nothing crazy like cross fit, which does scare me a little. My background: I have done personal training at multiple gyms, gym classes, weekly dietary support groups, and running groups/programs. I found with the above I would be very motivated at first and then when the newest and excitement died away so did my commitment. I needed a new experience. So I decided to give Kaia a try. It's a women's only for group fitness. Kaia makes working out easy and fun. It's all levels and ages. There are no mirrors so I don't stress if my shirt creeps up or if my hair is gross, and no one else cares either. Everyone I've met there has been very friendly and supportive. In fact I even did it while pregnant and could hardly move around at all, which was great until I got put on bed rest. There are the core coaches who lead the fitness classes and get to know you and your goals on a personal level. When they show how to do an exercise they show you modifications too, so you do what it comfortable for you and your body. And all the coaches are very friendly and supportive, they are all happy to help you to find a way to move and strengthen your body. I love that the weekly class schedule gives you everything you need. Here in Santa Rosa: Monday's are for TRX, Tuesday's are bootcamp with cardio exercises integrated with body weight or weighted exercises, Wednesday's are rest days, Thursday's are bootcamp again, Friday's are yoga, and Saturdays are rotational between boot camps, out door work outs or walk/runs (which you can bring your strollers, children and dogs if you need too, huge bonus). Sunday's are rest days. They provide all the equipment you need there, all you have to do is show up ready to work out and bring your water. Each class is a hour with a warm up at the beginning and a cool down/stretch portion at the end. Also although you do sign up for a class time to "belong" to, you can attend other class times on the same day of that works better for your schedule. I love this because sometimes 615a just isn't going to happen for me, but I know I can always attend the 8a, 445p or 6p if I need too and still get my work out in. The other nice thing is that the workouts for the week are all scheduled for Kaia, meaning that if I'm traveling and need to attend a another kaia I will be doing the exact same thing as I would be here. Kaia is broken down into 6 or 5 weekly segments. The 6 week sessions are called BRIK, these are focusing on your fitness goals. They weigh, measure, and get baseline measurements (plank time, mile time, etc depending on the focus). They also provide dietary recommendations, sample weekly menus, recipe books, etc. Plus each class they check in with the group and discuss barriers, ideas, etc to make you successful. BRIK is five days a week workouts scheduled. They will do a mid point and then end weigh in and measurements. Also during BRIK normally they offer cooking class or classes to expand your knowledge and cooking skills. I learned how to make a yummy cashew cream one class! This was all included. The 5 week session is called CORE, this is in between BRIK and is four weekly classes (TRX isn't included in CORE unless you decide to become a VIP member, then it's always part of your weekly workouts regardless of what session they are currently on). I would highly recommend Kaia to any woman looking for a supportive, caring, nonjudgmental workout environment. I find for myself I need to have the accountability of kaia and also I know that if I'm sore or if I slept wrong on my shoulder, I can still go and get a great workout with modifications from the coaches without judgement or pressure to try something I don't feel my body is ready for or can handle. They offer free classes to try it out, I would recommend for anyone even a little curious to come try it. Oh and just for reference I had lost about twenty pounds and 17 inches with kaia prior to my pregnancy, now I'm back working off the baby weight at my own pace and it's been great!

I hate working out. I mean, I really hate working out. I hate being out-of-breath and would never…read moreadd "sweating through my clothes" to my list of ... well, I'd add it to my list of things that are uncomfortable, and bordering on embarrassing. I also don't really like team things. And I don't have much good to say about over-enthusiastic people and their over-the-top motivational slogans, trying to fool everyone into "getting excited" about something crappy. Like working out. That being said, I love Kaia F.I.T. Love it. I was super unsure at first, but after even just the orientation, I knew it was going to be awesome. And horrible, because I really do still hate working out, and you do a lot of that, there. But I knew it was different than any other place I'd been to, so I was hopeful. I was worried about being the oldest girl in there (41). I was worried about being the person in the worst shape. About being the only one not able to complete the exercises. I was worried about passing out or throwing up or peeing my pants (six kids). But it turns out, it doesn't matter if I'm the oldest, or if I'm in the worst shape of the bunch. It doesn't matter if I am the Rock Star of Kaia, or a sweaty, vomit-covered pile of flesh laying in her own urine (too far?) - the girls there are awesome. And the part about not liking being a part of a team? I take that back. Just this one time. The other girls are so encouraging. And never make me feel like an idiot. Everyone cheers each other on, and that really does get you through that last little bit, when you think you can't hold that plank for even one more second. At orientation, Megan (I'll get to her in a bit!) said, "Don't worry if you're sweating or if your shirt rides up and your belly is hanging out. Nobody here is even going to notice, because we're all just focused on doing our best." Or something like that. I don't know, but the part about not worrying if your belly hangs out? That part I remembered, because let's be real: It's a legitimate concern. But to know that you can show up with no make-up, with wild hair and in a dumb t-shirt AND you don't have to worry about your shirt riding up during Standing Mountain Climbers? Prime. The workout is amazing, as well. I've lost 16 pounds (down to 140) and can DO things. I can do things I couldn't do when I started. I am getting stronger and more agile. I have energy. I feel really proud of myself, and I don't say that often. Or, really, ever. Each day is different. It's broken down into small chunks, so it always seems manageable. It's brutal, I'm not going to lie. I've never sweat this much in my life. Every session leaves me spent, but feeling - and I'm really going to say this - revitalized. This isn't a "Show up sometimes and eventually, maybe you'll see a little results" routine. This is a, "Commit to showing up, workout until you think you may actually die (maybe that's just me) and get amazing results" routine. Oh, and girls only. I love that. Fridays are Yoga, Wednesday is a running class (never gone, too scared), Saturday is a walk/run that you can bring friends and family along to. The other days are a boot camp style workout that will kick your (getting-to-be nicely toned) butt. Megan Powers is the owner and coach and everyone loves her. You can't not love her. Remember my earlier reference about the awful over-the-top, over enthusiastic, let's make everyone feel uncomfortable with my sugar-coated, sing-song voice? That's not Megan. Megan is funny and easygoing. Easygoing, but super motivating. She knows how to get the best from everyone, without making anyone feel like a loser. She puts everyone at ease right away. Megan has encouraged me to re-examine what I believed to be my limitations. It takes a pretty unique person and place for me to be comfortable enough to even attempt something that could very easily end up being incredibly humiliating. But I felt comfortable enough to try hard things and it turns out I could do them, after all. She's really knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition. My husband is a fitness and nutrition superstar, and she tells me the same things he tells me, so I trust her. Plus, you can't argue with results. I'm getting smaller AND stronger. And while I can't say that I bounce out of bed each morning or that I arrive to class thrilled to be moments away from a hard, hard workout, I can tell you that I really do love (and hate) each day there. At the end, I always love it. In the middle, it's a love/hate thing. But if it was easy, this would all be a waste of time. The hour is going to pass one way or another - better to have it pass with a workout that will really, really count. Longest review I've ever written, but I couldn't leave any of it out!

You could also cook in there. Lots of counter space and a huge refrigerator & freezer. *Two, count them TWO bathrooms available. *A separate room in the entry area with couches and a big desk perfect for a registration table. *A beautiful pond out front with benches. *Near coffee and restaurants & hotels aren't too far. *Small room in the back with a bed if the facilitator needs to rest between sessions! The parking lot is small, but there is more parking on the street. The owners are really nice to work with and very attentive. It's the best workshop space I've seen in the north bay of its size/style.

I was excited to attend the Pink Pilates event at Vinarosa Resort and registered through KARVE…read moreFitness after seeing a listed price of $22. I completed the registration, paid, and received an email confirmation clearly showing that I was registered for the June 13th Pink Pilates event. Later, my registration was canceled and refunded because KARVE stated there had been an error and that I had somehow registered for the wrong event. KARVE explained that I had accidentally selected the wrong ticket through their booking system. However, the confirmation I received identified the exact event I intended to attend: the June 13th Pink Pilates event at Vinarosa Resort. As a customer, I had no reason to believe anything was wrong. While I understand that technical issues can happen, I don't think customers should lose their spot in an event after receiving a confirmation for the correct date, time, and event. To be fair, KARVE did send an email to an old email address I no longer regularly check, and I take responsibility for not updating that information. However, they also claim they attempted to call me but did not leave a voicemail.. When I later raised that concern, I was told my voicemail inbox was full, which was not the case when I checked it. What is most disappointing is that the event is now sold out. Despite registering, paying, and receiving a confirmation for the correct event, I lost my spot and am now being told that if I want to attend, I need to pay the listed price and join a waitlist, with no guarantee of getting in. A pricing error is understandable. Canceling confirmed registrations, removing customers from a sold-out event, and then asking them to pay more for a waitlisted spot is not. The issue is not that a mistake was made; it's how the mistake was handled. I was genuinely looking forward to supporting this event and trying KARVE, but this experience left me feeling frustrated and undervalued as a customer.
