It's a great family atmosphere and will improve your game quickly. If you have any interest in BJJ, give it a try. I go 3-5x a week and am starting to get my kids involved in some of the kids classes. And I'm truly baffled by any negative reviews here -- makes absolutely no sense.

I was just excited to try out a different gym since I live in SoCal and wanted to check out a new spot while I was in Santa Rosa. The professor proceeded to tell me it would be $50 to try out the class if I'm not a check mat member in SoCal and $30 if I was a member (they don't let their own members train for free when traveling??????) I read online that I could try any class for free so I felt very deceived at this point and left.. super awkward experience . Avoid gyms like this at all costs money hungry and in organized

Full disclosure, I have not trained here. I have popped in a few times to talk with the owner Paul,…read moreand in the course of visiting, I have observed a few classes. More disclosure, I am not trained in Muay Thai. My background is in Okinawan Karate, military combatives (Marine Corps), and jiu-jitsu. However, having been around a few years, I can tell when a dojo/academy is serious about training. Metayo Muay Thai Academy is serious about training. Don't believe me? Go in and hear the sounds of kicks and knees hitting pads. Watch the students warm-up themselves and get ready for action. Paul doesn't need to make people warm up or cajole people into working...people work because they want to be there. If you are serious about martial arts, serious about a workout, or even serious about competing, I would recommend you go here. Oh yes, the City recently promoted Metayo Academy on their Instagram page. Check it out here! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEoN_3ahDte/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Elevate Fitness has been a game-changer for me, and a huge part of that is because of Coach Lu. I…read morestarted going in 2020 and from day one, Lu has been incredibly motivating, supportive, and genuinely invested in my fitness journey. 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.

The coaches don't just tell you what to do, they are there to guide you in your journey. I feel a sense of belonging. This is a family. I've been thro injuries outside of the gym and guess what? NO PROBLEM! Theres modifications. Feeling down on yourself? NO PROB! Theres a support group there for the tough times. The app that Coach Lu has created helps me stay on track. I'm able to see workouts ahead of time, set goals, see progress and communicate with my team! xoxo best decision I've ever made!

Mainly because of the trainer I had at the time, who is no longer with LiveFit. Although I personally didn't experience any significant backlash from quitting LiveFit and "breaking" a "contract", there were a number of people who did experience an incredibly unprofessional side of the company when attempting to quit.

I love that the work out is outside, I overheat way too fast inside and it's been perfect at 5:30 am. Mark is awesome, rolls with the punches and won't push you past your breaking point. He makes a point of learning everyone's names and uses them throughout the hour. I like that every workout isn't the same and the hour seems to fly by. The group also has something to do with that, a lot of banter and camaraderie. Great people to work out alongside. I've only done a week, but I can tell that my cardio and strength has improved. We did a benchmark to compare our fitness to the last week of the session. I really like that idea that you can look at a tangible number of how much you improve. I highly recommend at least trying it for a month. I am by no means a morning person and I drag my lazy ass out of bed (almost) every morning, might even start going in the evenings!
