Delightful smoothie and acai bowl place! There's a little book with indoor seating, and one table outside. They've got a wall of local goods to browse through while you wait for your drink. I got the rose drink, and I thought it was quite tasty! I really liked the vibes - it seems like a place that emphasizes overall wellness and health.

watery smoothie missing the garnishes

I've been coming here since they first opened, and as a local health professional and foodie, I appreciate a great juice bar and smoothie spot. I don't know if the owner is difficult but I've noticed a high turnover among staff, which seems to be affecting quality. Not only did it take over 15 minutes to get my order because there was a single staff member but my last two $15 smoothies have been watery and missing the garnishes I've enjoyed for over a decade. I understand how challenging it is to run a small business, but loyal customers shouldn't have to bear the brunt of those struggles, after all we are the ones showing up to support.

The nectary is on a corner of Healdsburg Ave with plenty of street parking. I walked in on a rainy Sunday afternoon and it was very quiet. I ordered two of their Strawberry Nectar juice and two smoothies: The Matcha & the funky monkey. If you are looking for a healthy drinks and food, this place has got it all, from cold pressed juics, superfood smoothies, wellness shots, lattes, raw foods, acai bowls, mylks & nectars, etc. I really enjoyed my Matcha made in Heaven smoothie. I couldn't taste the matcha much, only strawberries and protein powder but it was sweet, full of good ingredients that makes you feel good instead of regretting it later. Like they say, food is medicine!

The Nectary has been one of my very favorite places in Sebastopol since they opened. I would frequently get juice or smoothies when they were in The Barlow and was disappointed when they moved as it's a less convenient location, but I kept going back as their juice is fresh and their bowls are refreshing. They are now under new ownership. The new staff members are kind and attentive. G Love is my favorite juice and it seems like they have changed the formula. I am hoping they stick to some of the original recipes that we love and keep their raw chocolate treats on hand. Time will tell!

Since it was a warm day, I was looking for a juicery for a healthier option to cool off. Originally with my heart set on the cold press juice especially the Watermelon Blissness. However, upon entering we found that they were already pre-pressed and bottled in the fridge for $10 each and I think $2 for the bottle deposit. Since we aren't from the area, short of drinking it and returning the bottle on the spot, I really did not need another $2 bottle for salad dressings. So changing direction, for slightly lower prices, we opted to try their made to order smoothies instead. The Chai Babanada had dates, honey, almond milk, and rooibos herbal blue lotus chai. Love the creaminess of this smoothie and the dates and bananas worked well together. The Pollinator had dragonfruit, pineapple, mango, ginger, bee pollen, and coconut water. A little too muddled where it's hard to taste the fruits itself but did enjoy the bee pollen topper.

Matcha. A small for... wait for it... SEVEN DOLLARS.

I don't wanna judge this place too harshly given that I've only tried two things. This feedback is based solely on those items. Haven't tried the smoothies yet and they may be fantastic as other reviewers are saying. I picked the Nectary as a spot to try for drinks with my mom and aunt and after checking out their menu, I had high hopes. I wanted to try one of their smoothies but upon arriving, the only employee working informed us that someone had put in a large order so it would be around half an hour before she could make us anything with the blenders. My mom wanted a fresh juice and was pretty disappointed to find that they'd all been premade already and were sitting in the fridge separating, with a price tag of $12 each! Now I know the rent in the Barlow has got to be sky high, but we make our own juices at home regularly and A) they're supposed to be drunk shortly after juicing so as to receive the full health benefits and B) they simply should not cost that much, even if being made on the spot. My mom and aunt decided to split a green juice, the Kalalau, which contains romaine, kale, apples, parsley, and a few other things. You could tell by their faces that it tasted terrible and I felt kinda bad for having picked this place out. They didn't even finish it. Upon tasting it myself, can confirm that it is not a pleasant blend. For myself, I settled on a matcha latte which was a mistake. I should have just waited for the blenders to be free and gotten a $12 smoothie because not only was this thing very small for $7, but it tasted like a wheatgrass shot--gritty, with no sweetness whatsoever. I'd asked for extra honey but could not detect any sweetener at all. I added a splenda packet--still bitter--so I had to take it back and ask for honey. Was given a little more, which made it palatable, but still nowhere near sweet enough for my taste and certainly not enjoyable. I might someday go back and try a smoothie, but eh... from what I've tasted so far I'm super baffled by all the rave reviews.

Completely dig it: *juices galore, yes it's pre bottled, but it's FRESH, check the dates at the top of the caps, I bought a centrifugal juicer years ago and it tastes THE same! Wish I had the time to use it more often *the raw desserts are decadent and super satisfying, check the pie and the caramel mocha bite *super green juices: green dragon (seasonal) and hardcore green *sea-kraut *they carry Sun Potion *cute gear, tanks, shirts and even scarves *the Shilajit wellness shots were refreshing *check the golden mylk - super creamy and sweetened perfectly There is a $1 deposit for each of the bottles, refundable if you return the bottle. The price of the juices are $9. Completely worth the prices they charge. Organic and all made by hand. The people who work there are warm and willing to work with their customer. Love love! Can't wait till I get to stock up again.

Menu and a happy client

Really yummy and creative smoothies! Their shots and juices are also delicious. It's a healthy treat, if a bit spendy.

I've been a member for a little over two years now. I absolutely LOVE Inspired Fitness. I've had…read morememberships off and on to many different gyms over the years and this is honestly the BEST place I have ever been. I can't remember ever having this much fun getting in shape before. And so much of it is about the community here: teachers, members and truly ALL the staff. I have taken many of the classes , which are all included in the basic membership plan (except the reformer classes). Boot Camp, TRX and Work it Circuit are my top favorites for strength training and the yoga classes are among the best I've ever taken (vinyasa flow, slow flow and restorative). They have a variety of classes for different levels of fitness and goals. The mat Pilates classes are excellent too and if I need a rest from weights I will often take one of these classes. I also started personal training with Jenn Fuji about a year and a half ago. I was having issues with my shoulder that wasn't fully recovering from an injury. She helped me rehabilitate and rebuild my strength back in that shoulder and I am now free of pain and have nearly 100% of my mobility restored. She is incredibly knowledgeable and encourages me to push just beyond my comfort zone and I have gained so much strength, stamina and self confidence. And we have fun too!!! Another aspect that I really appreciate is that they are always adding new classes to spice things up- sometimes they're pop ups for a limited time and sometimes they stay in rotation. But I love that things never stay static and boring. There is truly something for everyone, so give it a try! If not now, when?

The "Cheers" of Gyms Where Everybody Knows Your Name!…read more I cannot recommend this gym enough! From the moment I walk through the door, it feels less like a fitness club and more like walking into my favorite place where everybody knows your name. The staff is absolutely incredible it feels like a real-life Norm from Cheers experience, lol, where you're welcomed warmly every single visit. The sense of community here is unmatched. It is a truly safe and welcoming environment for absolutely everyone, regardless of fitness level. The instructors are fantastic, knowledgeable, motivating; and they really take the time to ensure your form is correct while pushing you to your potential. I'm constantly impressed by the variety of classes offered. Whether I'm in the mood for high-intensity, strength, or something more restorative, they have it all. Plus, the clientele is wonderful so encouraging and friendly, which makes working out fun rather than a chore. If you are looking for a place that feels like home, has expert trainers, and keeps you motivated, this is it! Thank you Inspired Fitness keep up the great work
