This is a review of Anna as a Tai Chi instructor. I think she mainly teaches Zumba and is a…read morecertified senior fitness instructor, but I was looking for a Tai Chi instructor and found her through the Tai Chi Healthways website where she is listed as a certified instructor. I have not taken Zumba class with Anna, but I am sure that would be a lot of fun. It has been great to learn Tai Chi with Anna. I am pretty new to the practice, so we have been focusing on Yang 10 form, wich is beginner level. Anna is very knowledgeable, patient, and offers feedback in a way that is easy to understand. Learning from her isn't frustrating at all. We Santa Rosa folks are lucky because we have the Wu Academy right here taught by world-recognized Justin Eggert. Anna will tell you to train with Justin if you want to learn from a master. I think he only has time to teach groups and I didn't need to learn from a Tai Chi master! I just needed someone really good who had the time to give me individual lessons. I really am glad I found Anna because she has a deep understanding of Tai Chi on a traditional, cultural level and she also knows how to explain everything so a newbie like me can get it right!

As someone who rarely writes reviews, I felt this one was necessary…read more I've been a coach/trainer for the past five years, and I have never been so disappointed in a new drop-in class. I had never been to an F45 before, but I decided to meet my friend for a short workout on Saturday morning (5/10/25). I walked into a quiet studio where two trainers were present--one female, named Shannon, and a male. Neither introduced themselves or welcomed me. The female trainer was on her phone, and the male was walking around. I had to initiate the conversation, saying something like, "Hi, I haven't been to this gym before." The female glanced up and said, "Ha, you came to the one-hour workout--you're going to die," then pointed to the lockers and told me where to put my things. The male said absolutely nothing. I repeated myself: "Okay, well, I haven't been here before--do I need to sign something?" She looked up from her phone again and asked, "Oh, so you want to drop in?" I said, "I think so," and she pointed to a QR code on the wall and said, "You can sign up through here." As a coach, I have never felt so unimpressed or unwelcome. After signing up, no one asked if I had any workout experience, prior injuries, or questions. No direction was given about where to warm up or how the class worked. Nothing. I was honestly in shock. Thankfully, my friend was there to guide me. (Imagine if I had come alone!) While I could figure things out due to my experience, the lack of attention was unacceptable--especially considering the $219/month unlimited membership price. Frankly, it felt fraudulent. During the class, the coaches were flat, disengaged, and uninterested. No motivation, no energy--just generic lines like "Push harder... come on... 10 seconds left." It felt like a conveyor belt workout. The session itself was okay--I definitely didn't "die" as the coach joked. After the class, neither coach checked in with me. No "good job," no "thanks for coming," no invitation to return--absolutely nothing. I walked out of the gym feeling upset and disgusted by how I was treated and how poorly this F45 location operates. I know not all F45 gyms are like this. Shout out to Coach MoMo down in Burlingame, who creates an enjoyable and welcoming experience. But the F45 in Santa Rosa off Industrial Ave is, in my opinion, a huge waste of money. I would never recommend this location--or at least the 6:45 AM class. Also, $30 for a drop-in session? For that level of service? No thanks. It's unfortunate that I felt compelled to write this review, but people deserve to know they can spend far less elsewhere and receive far more in terms of physical and emotional wellbeing.

The gym charged me $199 and wouldn't answer my multiple calls/messages/emails! WTF?…read moreMy 2 weeks trial ended, and without any heads up I was charged $199 for membership. Was not my intention by the prior owner, Melissa, was very responsive and while she didn't return the money, she assured me I could use it for another month of membership. Again, not my intention but ok. Unfortunately, Melissa is no longer the owner and when I tried to use my credit I just couldn't get through to the gym! I called them a number of times, emailed and texted - nothing! Stay away from this place!

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!

I mean, I hate the gym, I really do. Years of playing soccer, track, swimming, has wired me to be outside when being active not indoors on a treadmill watching someone else play sports. At this point in my life I really needed a change and was having a hard time sleeping through the night when I happened upon a Living Social deal at 2 a.m. for Kaia and I decided then and there to give it a whirl. Wow! I was so intimidated, Kaia F.I.T. is based on muscle confusion, so every day it's different and 3 months later, it is still challenging and fun. I don't respond well to drill sergeant type tactics, and Meghan is far from it she's absolutely AWESOME! She's encouraging without being overbearing and inspiring without being pompous. I have lost 5 inches overall and continue to stay with Kaia in an effort to be strong, not necessarily skinny. Since I work in the healthcare field and am working on becoming a clinical health educator, it is imperative for me to set a good example for my patients. Kaia is helping me to change lives; Meghan is helping me to change lives. Kaia also incorporates nutrition into their boot camp and has three levels of nutrition to assist any to incorporate healthier food habits into their lives. I simply can't say enough good things about Kaia F.I.T. and what it has done for me. Come try it out you won't be sorry. Oh, and that insomnia thing? I'm sleeping through the night, every night, blissful, sweet sleep. Thank you Kaia F.I.T and Meghan for making me stronger every day!

RunMama is an absolutely great program, run by a super awesome woman who is passionate about…read morewoman's health and exercise. The program is geared toward all types of woman, no matter where they are physically. The owner and instructor, Marisa, does a wonderful job at ensuring that everyone gets in a good workout, all while being aware of each individuals level of exercise output/comfort. RunMama is also great for young children as there is a program for them to participate in while mom is working out. The class leader, Noah, invites kids to sing along to songs, dance, and participate in kid friendly exercises/obstacle courses. My 2yr old had an absolute blast playing along with the other kids and stepping up to the challenges that Noah created. I personally find RunMama an encouraging program for moms and kids, as it allows children to witness their moms exercising, which aides in them seeing us as healthy role models. I've only been once but I'm already looking forward to attending more classes, getting fit, and learning more from Marisa as I continue on my health journey.

Love this! I've done both the workouts and helped with the kids' classes, which is such a blast!…read more I'm currently 8 months pregnant and feel more confident working out knowing that Marisa is a physical therapist. She was able to check and see if I have diastasis recti (I do) and give me modified exercises. I will def be coming back after the birth so I can work on fixing the problem. As for the kids class, my daughter LOVES going and has to tell me all about the day's theme and what her favorite activity was. Gym daycare centers freak me out (germs!) so it's great that the kids get to play outside and I can see them while I work out (they're across the field). If you're signed up, you can volunteer to help with the kids for a discount rate. Most kids love that their mom will come "workout" with them every so often. : )

She somehow made movement feel manageable--even enjoyable--for someone like me who's usually dragging their feet just thinking about a workout. Becca is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but she also has this rare ability to meet you exactly where you're at, without judgment or pressure. My first session felt tailored, thoughtful, and empowering. I never thought I'd be someone who actually looks forward to showing up, but here we are. If you're intimidated by Pilates or just haven't found the right person to guide you yet, Becca is the one. 10/10 recommend.
