This week’s Settle This: Where is the BEST PLACE TO WORK OUT?
Warmer weather means busting out of those layers, boxing up the scarves, and unleashing that jelly roll that has been camouflaged under bulky sweaters for months. Unveiled with floral sundresses and short shorts are dimpled gams and the almighty muffin top – the results of too many carblicious overindulgences paired with horizontal lounging on a comfy couch.
But not your body. I mean, look at that body. You work out.
While the rest of us were using the cold weather as an excuse to store up another layer of fat for the winter, you were sweating it out at one of the local health farms around town. And as we pull back on our fat-hiding sweaters in 80 degree weather, you’re strutting around like the Greek god you are, showing off those bulging triceps and toned flanks. Yes, we hate you because you’re beautiful.
Tell us your favorite gym or health club in Sonoma County, and give props to the place that helped make you the envy of all the rest of us.
Team LP Fitness Playground is the place! Bright, clean, and always changing. If you haven’t Chizzled with LP, you haven’t worked out.
Report comment Report commentPowerhouse Gym on 5th street is great. It has 3 floors and 25,000 square feet of equipment. The staff is friendly and the gym is always very clean.
Report comment Report commentAnswer: any gym other than Fusion Fitness. Sadly since Catt and her start up team left several years ago the place has steadily declined. Ever increasing rates for long time members and under the tables deals for new members.
Echoing Cara’s comments above, Powerhouse is a solid option in Santa Rosa.
Report comment Report commentOh, I’m gonna give props to the Y. Definintely NOT a meat market (nice). Newish equipment. And a hells yeah on the reading selections — The Week to People to The New Yorker.
Report comment Report commentRPI- Santa Rosa
The staff there really know their stuff. I have been working out there for three years now and have great results to show for it. I wouldn’t dream of working out anywhere else. Great equipment/amazing trainers/cleanly gym/free lot parking/results oriented programs. Plus, the people that come here are all motivated and hard working…your not going to find people on their ipad during their workout as I have seen at other gyms.
Fusion is hands down the best fitness club in sonoma county, everyone here is motivated and the willingness to help you work out is phenominal. The people who work out here are all good looking, beautiful and it is one of the most positive atmospheres. Fusion is always a fun place to work out at and I always find myself staying longer than i planned because the motivation is everywhere.
Report comment Report commentSix days a week Fusion Fitness is my favorite part of the day. As soon as I walk in the door a postive wave of energy radiates from within. I rarely even have to touch the door as another member either coming in or leaving is usually holding the door open with a friendly gesture for everyone else maneuvering in or out. A second warm greeting follows from the amazingly friendly front desk and staff when I check in. During my hour and a half workout I always feel comfortable around the other members getting in shape as everyone is happily willing to give a spot on a heavy lift or ask/give advice about a certain routine. The abundance of machines, treadmills, and free weights available is second to none, making a wait for a certain workout an impossibility. I have been going to different gyms all around the country for the last 10 years and I can honestly say that Fusion Fitness is my favorite gym, period. Member For Life!
Report comment Report commentI personally like the Coaches’ Corner in Sebastopol. The staff is friendly and the receptionists are great people who have the ability to deal with all sorts of clientele. The members are from a wide variety of backgrounds and are a highly interesting group of people to be around. I have found that there is an incredible variety of skill sets among the membership and that if one needs any assistance, advice or general information in almost any area there is someone there who will gladly provide it. The membership covers the whole span in terms of age, gender and professional backgrounds and the atmosphere is very friendly and positive.
Report comment Report commentAs a middle-aged woman who had not been to a gym in a long time, I feel very comfortable at Fusion Fitness. Clean changing rooms and bathrooms are an expected necessity for me, and they are totally met at this gym. A wide variety of cardio equipment and classes available also meet all my workout needs. I would highly recommend Fusion to anyone in the area looking for a fitness club that makes you feel better when you leave than when you walked in.
Report comment Report commentRPI!
I look forward to my personalized workouts every week. The staff is encouraging and the facilities are very clean and well organized. I have worked out in numerous gyms in Sonoma County and RPI is the one that keeps me coming back.
Goodbye love handles, hello bikini bod!
“Bathrooms are dirty most of the day”
vs. “the gym is always very clean”
Two comments for the same gym. LOL.
Seriously, the best place to work out is the
place where YOU feel COMFORTABLE. Apparently
some people don’t like to work out where there
are fat people, texting people, less ‘serious’
athletes (ie “The people who work out here are all good looking, beautiful”
for one gym comment). If you want a hard-core
a la the old Gold’s, you’ll get there and enjoy
your workout. If you want something a little more
laid-back, pick that sort of gym.
For example: Answer: “any gym other than Fusion Fitness”
vs. “Fusion is hands down the best fitness club”. Powerhouse Gym
is NOT the YMCA gym. Pick the one that’s best for you, your workout
and your wallet. One generalization that seems to help: if you can
find a gym that’s more rather than less ‘convenient’ and ‘on the way’
during your travels, you’ll up the odds that you can make dropping in
a regular habit. Another generalization: No matter how hard it may
have been to drag into the gym on any particular day, it ALWAYS feels
better at the end of the session. Period.
And if you don’t like the gym, circle Spring Lake or hike in Annadel.
Y M C A. What other gym has its own theme song?????
Report comment Report commentPOWERHOUSE GYM is definitely the place to be IF YOU WANT TO WORKOUT! I started at last year’s Bikini Boot Camp and can’t wait for this year’s camp. As for the comments about the bathrooms being “dirty most of the time” I can’t imagine what she’s talking about. I have found Powerhouse to be clean all the time. And as for equipment, it’s second to none. No one has more available than Powerhouse. And who cares if someone working out next to you is “beautiful?” Really? If that’s your criteria for working out somewhere, you have bigger issues. Everyone at the gym is super friendly and helpful. And Catt is always there for advice and a smile it seems. No attitude here. If you’re serious about getting in shape Powerhouse Gym is THE facility.
Report comment Report commentPowerhouse ROCKS! Great equipment. 3 floors of choices. Clean. And best of all, friendly. I’ve been a member here for almost 20 years and since Powerhouse took over, it’s better than ever. I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else.
Report comment Report commentRPI gets my vote!
Chris Rapoport is the most knowledgeable and professional strength and conditioning coach in all of California. His guidance has kept me strong and injury free for many years.
The equipment is state of the art and extremely clean.I believe RPI is the only facility to use Keiser air resistance equipment.
Report comment Report commentOMG! I started at Powerhouse after leaving another gym, I won’t mention. Suffice to say, I was more than pleasantly surprised. I thought it might be hardcore, but it was close to my house so I thought I’d give it a try. After being warmly greeted and meeting with an awesome trainer named Kara, I decided I’d try the one month trial membership. I joined before it was over! Great people. Serious fitness, but everyone is so nice. I hope I get to stay in the area because I’d hate to have to try to find another gym like it if my job moves. I’d be bummed. LOVE Scott’s kickboxing class on Mondays.
Report comment Report commentFor strength training/personal training I really enjoy RPI! I always get an amazing workout and leave feeling strong and energetic. They really focus on correcting bad posture and strengthening your core. Its a great place for ladies to not feel self conscious/checked out. Everything is super clean too! That is a huge plus.
Report comment Report commentPower House Gym on 5th street not only has a lot of options for equipment and some great classes that come with the reasonable membership rates but also they have amazing staff! Kara is my trainer and she is the BEST! I call her Torture Monkey and as much as I dread working out some days she always makes it a fun and challenging experience! POWER HOUSE ALL THE WAY!!!!!
Report comment Report commentI go to Fusion Fitness. It’s not the fanciest but the membership fee is affordable and they have all the equipment you need. Front desk people are friendly and it’s not a meat market. There are also all types and sizes of people working out, from the hard core lifters to the very out of shape and overweight people.
Report comment Report commentRPI. I have had memberships at most of the gyms in Santa Rosa, and I can say that RPI is unequivocally the best gym. Although, it is not just a “gym.” The owner, Chris Rapoport and the trainers at RPI are update on all the latest studies related to fitness. The “gym” has the latest in equipment; which the other gyms lack. So, if anyone wants to work out at the best gym with the best staff go to RPI. I do!!!!!!

I have worked out at a lot of gyms and the Playground provides variety, motivation, and is extremely challenging. The equipment is unique and very clean. The staff is very personable and is always available to answer your question or teach you how to use a certain machine. You also have the ability to purchase their heart rate monitor that shows you in “real time” how hard you are working out (maybe you need to work harder – maybe you need to slow it down a bit), your calories burned etc. LP is in the Playground 95% of the day. He cares about his members and is always helping them reach their fitness goals. Thanks LP and A-CEO’s for such a great environment.
