Just had a really great workout with my friend Tesia and her trainer Lorenzo today, and I was…read moreseriously impressed. We focused on chest and arms, and from the start he took the time to assess where we were at and what we were capable of before progressively increasing the weight. I honestly didn't think I'd be able to lift as much as I did today, but he pushed me in a way that felt challenging, motivating, and safe. One thing I really appreciated was how knowledgeable he was and how much attention he paid to form. He even complimented my form, which definitely made me feel good and is something I'll be sure to relay back to my trainer at home! You can tell he knows what he's doing and wants people to build confidence while getting stronger. Looking forward to working out with him again the next time I visit!

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.

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.

I loved how there were different stations in which I did different workouts. I punched all different types of bags. The speed bag and wrecking ball bag was my favorite. I was taught form and some technique. This was a really unique experience and highly recommend to get in some HIIT!
