For most of us a ‘Gym’ is a place to lose some weight, get fit and develop the base fitness to live a larger life.  When we join a globo-gym, we feel lost and unsupported.  But at Crossfit Santa Rosa:

• Our community is different.
• Our coaches are different. 
• Your results will be different.  

We understand the challenge of getting up off the couch and into the gym because we have lived it ourselves.

Whether your goals are to lose some weight or just be a more active human, we can help!

“SRSC is helping to correct my overall health and fitness. When I first got there they assessed where I was at and plotted a course that would correct my weaknesses…These people are skilled at what they do and care about helping you get positive results.” – Jess Y.

Rachel began at SRSC as an intern and is now a Strength Coach at SRSC. In college she joined a school crew team which sparked her interest in the exercise industry, which eventually led her to try more diverse exercise regimes such as running, yoga and CrossFit.

Rachel’s personal fitness goal, and her goal for all of her clients, is to train to be ready for any scenario life may throw, whether it be hiking up Half Dome, racing a Spartan race, or having the stamina to chase kids around in the park.

Breanna’s nature to help and support others fueled her pursuit in becoming a California Certified Neuromuscular Massage Therapist and to focus on educating clients about the soreness and pain they are experiencing.

Breanna graduated in May of 2013 with a certificate in Neuromuscular Massage Therapy.  Breanna also did an externship at Sonoma State University’s Sports Medicine, program which only fed her drive to gain more knowledge about the working human body and the effect massage had on collegiate athletes. Through Breanna’s 15-year athletic career, she has seen and experienced how injuries and stress from daily life can leave you sitting on the sidelines.

Her refreshing therapeutic massage is a great tool to prevent injuries by prolonging muscle flexibility, maintaining the immune system at an optimal state of balance, and increasing the speed of recovery by sustaining healthy tissues. Improvements to immune health and a noticeable increase in an overall sense of well-being are just a few results from massage therapy.
