I've been working out at Luma Fitness for the past 3 yrs and would HIGHLY recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to sign up for a new membership. They offer a FREE 2 week trial for new members and I promise you after trying it out you will want to stick around long term! For me this gym is perfect because the classes are fun, every single one of the trainers are supportive and encouraging, other members are very nice and supportive as well. You definitely get your money's worth- each trainer and class is different every time and the trainers take the time to demonstrate and correct your form which is important in preventing injury. I have been in the best shape that I have ever been in my life, I've gotten stronger not only physically but mentally since going here and I feel challenged and accomplished every time I leave the door. You don't have to worry about being intimidated like at other gyms because every one at Luma Fitness is supportive.
Of course people are entitled to their own opinion, however I HIGHLY DISAGREE for the reasoning behind their "1 star reviews". They claim to be BUSY and not being able to work out because of the classes being full. Yes sometimes the classes can be full especially after work, however there is a wait list for all classes and even if you are on the wait list 90% of the time you end up getting in the class anyways. I'm sorry but "being busy because of work and not being able to work out" is a BS excuse for ANY GYM. YOU MAKE TIME TO WORK OUT! I work and go to school full time and still work out at Luma Fitness 20+ classes a month and a majority of my work outs are after work (5pm) during the week. Also their "strict" policy is FAIR because it makes room for people who WANT TO and WILL be there. I recommend that you take the time to schedule your work outs months in advance, can't hurt to be more organized. Stop making excuses for working out at the gym and join the Luma Fitness Pack!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jeff K.Petaluma, CA06Apr 20, 2016
I highly recommend Luma. They offer a 2 week free trial...go for it!
I've been going to Luma for over a year now, and it's been the best workout/gym experience ever! The instructors are all awesome, very helpful and friendly. They push you hard without being intimidating. They watch and coach your form. But most importantly they mix it up and have fun. No two workouts are alike which keeps it interesting.
I do a mix of scheduling classes during the popular times (evenings and weekends), and just dropping in during less popular times (mornings and noontime). The advance scheduling is great because its in my calendar and motivates me to actually attend. I've attended over 100 classes last year and RARELY had an issue scheduling classes if you do so a week or two out. And when classes have been full, I signed up on the waitlist and I've almost always gotten in due to others cancelling. The other reviews claiming they were only able to attend 10 classes during a year is a total joke - you have to not try at all to attend only 10 classes.

Luma fitness is amazing. Connor and his trainers are caring and give this 62 out of shape woman the help I need to get back in shape. They give me modifications that help with my physical limitations. Thank you Luma for help getting me back in shape

Luma Fitness cost us $232 per class. Here's why.
My wife and I signed up for a year at Luma fitness at the beginning of last year. We set up direct bill payment to automated the payments of $179 per month.
Luma Fitness limits the number of students per class. You have to sign up. If the class is full, you can't take that class.
And the classes are usually full. You can see this for yourself. For example, when I wrote this review on Saturday morning, you can see from my screenshot that every Sunday class that takes place at the gym is already full. (The only available classes are a trail running class -- we already trail run every day and don't need to pay a gym for that -- and a second class that's way above our fitness level.)
We work during the day, and want to work out after work. Those classes are the most unavailable, especially the ones at our fitness level.
We're very busy, and often had a hard time making time for the gym. But when we did find the time, we found that Luma Fitness classes were already full.
Because of that, we were able to attend only 10 classes for the year. We paid them $2,148 and used their gym 10 times.
The nightmare continued.
Our membership ended at the end of January. You have to give 30 days notice in writing to terminate the membership, which we did on January 6. Yet they're charging us for the full month of February. We called and argued with them about it, but they were horrible and nasty and insisted that we pay the full month, rather than honor their own contract of 30 days notice.
They KNOW we won't be using their gym for the month of February. They KNOW we paid them thousands of dollars without using their service much. But they are just taking our $179 for the month anyway.
I guess the $2,148 we paid for 10 classes wasn't enough, so they're reaching into our bank account and taking more.
So now our grand total is $2,327 for 10 classes.
Instead of going to Luma Fitness, just flush $20 bills down the toilet twice a week. You'll save money -- and you'll get more exercise.Helpful 9Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Jennifer M.Petaluma, CA402515Aug 24, 2017
As cheesy as it sounds Luma changed my life. I am naturally athletic but NOT motivated on my own. I tried going to so many different gyms and none gave me the consistency of Luma. They've created a family like environment where all the members are like family! You never feel like you're being watched like you do at the traditional gyms. But you do know that there is a coach there ready to correct your form and help motivate you to get the most out of your work outs. The gym is insanely clean for how much use it gets. It looks like a movie set not an actual functioning gym.
Since starting with Luma my body composition has changed, I feel so much healthier, and I've regained the self confidence I lost many years ago. I'm forever grateful for Luma!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Chelsea S.Novato, CA3142Jan 13, 2014
Luma fitness has amazing trainers and staff that encourage and motivate a safe and healthy lifestyle. I participated in their thinner winner event, which is a 6 week program, and improved my workouts and eating habits. With the training they gave us we learned to change our entire lifestyles. I really really encourage anyone to try their two week FREE trail! You won't regret it!!
They have different classes for dissent fitness levels. All of the trainers watch and correct form, while pushing you to perform better, to get faster!
I have worked out in all different settings and this is truly the BEST gym!
I love luma fitness!!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Afsaneh M.Beverly Hills, CA8841Dec 29, 2019
Wow what an incredible workout. As an avid exercise fanatic, I have tried it all: Hot Yoga, Orange Theory, Cross Fit, Barre Method to name a few!! Jake's class at Luma was the most comprehensive, aerobic and rigorous of them all. Three classes and not one exercise was a repeat. Super high energy and motivating. You MUST try it out, you will not be disappointed.

Best gym experience I have ever had. Every day I go in not knowing what to expect. There are so many different types of classes offered and work so well with my schedule.
The trainers are amazing and always motivate me to keep going. My time Luma fitness is the best part of my dayHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Sonoma D.Santa Rosa, CA104116Dec 12, 2016
I signed up for the free two week trial. The front office gal was very warm and friendly. I attended one class and felt a bit "meh" about it. The class was just ok, the instructor was ok, and not one regular said hello or showed much community warmth I guess you could call it. Maybe it was just an off day. I'm sure there's lots of great folks there, but I didn't walk out with a stoked feeling.
I think the reason I never went back was because of two things:
1- This appears to be a more intimate, local business than a regular gym, perhaps. A suggestion to the owners might be to make a 2 minute phone call to welcome the new potential member and see how they are enjoying their trial and even see if they want to sign up (get business!).
2- I realize committing to and signing up for workouts in advance isn't the end of the world difficult, but I also realized I like to be able to keep the flexibility of a gym where I can do a last minute workout should my time free up to.
*A side note that I know probably won't bother everyone, but...all the tv's that were on on the gym is just not my preference for during a workout. I just don't like that distraction and prefer to listen to music only to help motivate me.
Overall, clean gym with nice equipment and setup, just wasn't a fit for me.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
