Major concern with Motion Fitness regarding member billing security. On Dec 28, 2025, I found an…read moreunauthorized charge that appears to have used the billing info I had on file with the gym. It was for a monthly subscription to "In Influnce" (a service associated with purchasing Instagram followers). What's especially alarming is that a staff member, Juan Pablo, was somehow able to access my billing details. I can't say with certainty whether he personally made the purchase, but the Instagram account that appeared to benefit was linked to him. Either way, this happened under owner Lori's watch, and the lack of clear explanation is unacceptable. I contacted Lori directly. She was apologetic, but there was a major lack of understanding of how this could happen and what safeguards failed. I'm not sure what actions were taken internally, but this reflects on the gym's management and controls. I strongly recommend all members review your bank/credit card statements for any unknown charges.

There are no wall to wall mirrors, no music blasting, and the trainers are not intimidating but relatable. I love working out with Carey, she is so sweet and comforting. As a heavier woman it isn't always easy to workout and often there are hesitations to walk into a gym and be judged by your appearance. Carey has never made me feel bad about my weight and understands that it's not always easy. But through her training I have been able to get stronger and feel better about how I look everyday.

Small but MIGHTY!…read more ONLY marking it down from five stars based on price point. (more on that in a moment.) Otherwise I loved this place. Caveats to this review: I have been a competitive bodybuilder, a competitive strength athlete, AND a coach of competitors over 30+ years of lifting. This is not a "flex," but mentioning it because OBVIOUSLY colors my perspective. Worth mentioning up front. Also: I was only in town for a quick weekend, coming in from across the country (Boston) for a wedding. I was just a day visitor to the gym. My experience may not be the common one of members. I didn't like that it was hard to get in. I went at a "normal time," so the front desk kid was able to pop over to the door and open it, but still a mildly off-putting experience. I understood the reasoning; the availability of 24 hour access. But with a kid at the desk would it hurt to have the door unlocked during the hours the gym is staffed...? The space seems friendly to both "general fitness" types and heavy lifters alike. Indeed, the dumbbells went up to 150 (as single that this space encourages aspiration and hard work), and there were a few lifting cages (not just racks). Definitely a space that is focused on either weight training or athletic cross training, with an equipment array that isn't trying to coddle or under-estimate it's patrons. One thing I LOVED was that the dumbbells had HALF WEIGHT INCREMENTS well into the higher values. You almost never see this any more! Need a step between between 80 lbs and 85 lbs? They got you covered. This is such a logical feature that not only welcomes advanced lifters, but also allows beginners and intermediate to really make gradual progress - which is both safer and more sensible. Bravo on this one aspect. I like how the "cardio equipment" (ugh - just go outside people!) was NOT the dominant presence. Indeed, maybe 1/5th or less of the floor space was two humble rows of cardio. No - this is not meant to be a place where you zombie out on a stepper. Again, bravo. I liked the division of space overall, but it was a little quirky having the dumbbells placed so far away from the barbells and other weight equipment. A minor flaw, easily overlooked. Likewise, the front foyer was strangely disproportionate and included tons of unused space. That felt weird. Meh - again, easily overlooked. I appreciated the locker room for it's sparsity and functional purpose. It is NOT LUXURIOUS - in a GOOD way. Clean, for sure. But apart from a quick shower and change, the locker room is here for a function, not for luxury; you have a trustworthy clean shower and space to change, but this is not a spa. Heck, the shower stalls are old school bays with no curtains; modesty be damned; this is about function and efficiency. And it works. VERY well. High marks. One simple litmus test for "whether a gym is a good gym for serious lifters" is this: "Clutter that is not confusion." What this means is that, in a place where people are busy at work, there will always be a bit of expected clutter. Not UNTIDINESS; not confusion. Just bits and pieces all throughout the gym space; various handles, different pieces of equipment, odds and ends - all revealing that the space is where people get to work, not where they "idle away on a chore." The "organized clutter" of a gym is an ASSET, not a glitch. Clutter without confusion. The space had lots of options; from athletic training equipment to traditional weightligfting. Now, I think $30 for a day pass is absurd. I understand it is encouraging membership, and understand Healdsburg is no stranger to wealthy out-of-towners. But come on . . . $30 for an hour or so? One star down. Be more price welcoming. Kid behind the desk was a bit flaky, but not off-putting. Friendly enough, but like, slow and distracted. But just a kid being a kid. Not sure about any other staff. Gym vibe did not smack of camaraderie, but rather people in their own space. That is either an asset or a deficit depending on your preference of gym energy. It was not cranky in any way, but definitely not, like, warm and cheery. Neutral to reserved would be the way tom classify the vibe. DEFINITELY some serious physiques roll through. THAT was obvious even on my short visit. Big muscles and powerful strength is welcome here - and clearly encouraged. I appreciated that. As what some would label a "serious lifter" I would eagerly go here again - my only hesitancy being that obnoxious and unnecessary day rate. Looking at other reviews, I have a feeling price gouging is pretty normal.

Schedules are set to make it easy to find a good time, for both west and east coast members. If I miss a morning, I can catch the same workout later. When Staci has conflicts (not often) she has excellent substitute instructors.
