“We've been going to Michael for over 15 years and through his knowledge of the human body he has been able to keep us healthy and active! Anytime we have any pain he can quickly figure out what needs to be done to take care of it. My husband's recovery from surgeries has greatly improved due to working with Michael. Prior to Michael I had constant back pain that would always come and go. Since working with Michael I haven't had any and have no worries of lifting anything heavy. He's one of a kind and you'd be lucky to be working with him!“
“I've tried working out at home, didn't work because I can't motivate myself. I've tried joining other gyms and still couldn't muster the discipline to push myself where I wanted to be physically. I had never tried CrossFit because I didn't think I had the "personality type" for it. It turns out there is no type. All you have to do is show up, listen, and do your best. The coaches and regulars have been nothing but supportive and encouraging. I'm a total beginner and I'm having so much fun. I feel physically stronger and mentally healthier. My performance at work and in my primary sport have improved as well. It's not just the workout, it's the community of people that keeps me coming back.“
“I wish I could give Sid more stars because 5 is just "great" but his training is excellent. After just a few weeks, I started recommending this place to everyone I knew because my back pain disappeared! It's not even the reason I started going here (reason was to get in shape and healthier), but it was a very happy side effect of Sid's gentle restorative approach to fitness. For years, I would toss and turn at night from back pain that gradually increased with each hour, sometimes getting me out of bed at 3 or 4am. If I didn't get out of bed when it got bad, then by morning I'd feel practically disabled, struggling to get out of bed with intense pain that felt like my back was going to break just sitting up. But after just a few weeks with Sid, I realized that I'd been sleeping well and popping right out of bed with no pain!!! It was so amazing, and I do credit that to Sid's restorative training approach.Sid's does personal one-on-one training in his own private gym, so there was never anyone else there using the gym at the same time, which was nice because the focus was 100% on helping ensure I was in the correct positions -- not squatting with my knees wrong, or pulling a stretch band with my elbows or shoulders in a damaging position, feet in correct position, etc. If anything was in a position that could cause injury working out that way, he would quickly let me know how to correct it -- and that was HUGE for me, because I know for a fact (from many workout injuries) that I am the type of person who works out incorrectly. Sid helped prevent that, letting me know if I was doing something correctly, or need to fix my position.But there is so much more! I wasn't expecting this, but he also talked to me each time about things like diet, and what I'm doing on my own time to ensure success, and why or why not certain things I'd been trying were (or weren't) effective at this time, at my current fitness level. He really helped me start thinking differently about what I was eating, how it was affecting my body's ability to function properly, how much and even when to eat, how even little tweaks in a restaurant order can save me the amount of calories equal to a one-hour workout. His information helped me decide to stop drinking one particular type of drink I'd often buy, and switch it for a much better one. I could send him questions any time, he is very responsive. He actually seems to genuinely care about you being successful, and is there to help. Sid was, in my experience, the absolute best kind of personal trainer I could ever hope for. I didn't even know they could be this good.Now, I personally tried Sid's personal training gym as a treat for myself for Christmas, as I can't normally afford such a thing. But I really need fitness help, and I liked his website -- it's focus on restorative exercise sounded exactly like what I needed, and I wanted to try it. So I did, and I can't wait until I can go back again! I do absolutely recommend Sid at Back to Fitness to anyone who can afford it because it was truly life-changing for me, and I learned so much even in the short time I was there, and my back still feels better (thank you so much, Sid!). I really can't wait to go back here again.“
“The best coach. Always guaranteed a good workout. If you're looking for motivation and friendly people motivated people to workout with then this is the place. Group training is offered and one on one. You won't regret it.“
“Are you sick of mediocre group fitness classes or inexperienced fitness trainers ? Then Powerfit is the gym to belong to. Not only do they offer effective group fitness classes but they have several awesome fitness trainers for your personal needs. I found them through a friend after voicing frustration with the 24 hour Fitness Gym and have been training with John Logan ( the owner) for 6 months now! John logan is patient , knowledgeable and doesn't waste any time . He puts together a program and is ready to go before you even walk into the door. I immediately saw results; lost that covid weight and strengthened my core to better support my lower back. You will find this gym is nicely setup to get a great work out in ; having an array of things available. Assault bike , rower , boxing , weights ,medicine balls and bands. The gym is conveniently located in central Rohnert Park with plenty of parking !!!“
“With so many gym options in the Petaluma area, I am so thankful to have discovered Main Street Fitness and their super slow / high intensity training method! As someone who recently turned 40, and super busy with two jobs, I could tell that my strength and overall fitness was declining. Yet I enjoy physically demanding hobbies of ice hockey and backpacking, and so I knew I needed to do something to get my strength back up to speed. So, when I got a pass to try out this gym, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there is a science backed program (read Dr. Doug McGuff on this) that would allow me to accomplish my goals quickly with only one or two 20 minute workouts a week! Add to that the accountability and guidance of having a personal trainer (all their workout sessions are one-on-one with a personal trainer), and I’ve been noticing significant results now after only about 3 months on the program.“
“Knowledgeable trainer, busy and exclusive so make sure to book your time in advance. Ritz is caring, and listens and is attentive to individual needs (a characteristic lacking by many trainers.) Professionally speaking he is someone who you want to have on your team. He’s encouraging and motivating, but he’s also realistic with goals, and with that said get ready to accomplish them because he WILL hold you accountable. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ from this Local Guide! I will post updates! I’m already looking better (so I’m told ?) feeling stronger and more confident! Don’t take my word for it though! He can help train you to have a whole new outlook on yourself and fitness.“
“I enjoy the staff and they are very friendly to me and helpful. I never enjoyed going to a gym as much as I have been.“
“F45 makes me like working out. It’s 45 minutes, so I can fit it in my busy schedule but I leave feeling accomplished and energized (but sore the next day!). Plus, the music is fun and the coaches are awesome! Tiff makes me feel like I’m her bff and Cahill is so buff but someone not intimidating. My mom bod shows up and fits right in. I’ll keep coming back.“
