We're proud to share some exciting news: Active Wellness Center Petaluma has earned Facility Certification from the Medical Fitness Association (MFA), the nation's leading authority on medically integrated fitness and wellness. 

Active Wellness underwent a rigorous evaluation process by the Medical Fitness Association to assess the quality, safety, compliance, and continuous improvement in the delivery of health and wellness programs. The certification process involves an in-depth review of a facility’s adherence to the Medical Fitness Association's prescribed standards and guidelines that aren't found at regular commercial clubs.

Those standards include:

This prestigious recognition reflects our commitment to delivering the highest standards. As chronic disease rates continue to rise, our mission has never been more important. Every class you attend, every workout you complete, every healthy habit you build, and every connection you make contributes to a stronger, healthier community. Through prevention, education, movement, and support, we help people improve their quality of life for today and for years to come.

Thank you for being an important part of this incredible community. This achievement belongs to all of us, and we're honored to support you on your wellness journey every step of the way.

Active at Petaluma will have the modified hours of 8am-3pm this Saturday 7/4, in observance of Independence Day. Active Kids Club will be closed 7/2-7/4. 

Wishing you a wonderful holiday weekend!

We are pleased to highlight our Member of the Month for July, Joel!

A member since 2015, Joel can be found most weekday afternoons on the gym floor. As a firefighter for 30 years, being physically fit was a job requirement and that work ethic has stayed with him. He enjoys the camaraderie of his gym family as they genuinely encourage each other’s progress while solving the world’s problems.

Building Resilience Through Contrast Therapy

Non-exercise activity thermogenesis, or NEAT, is the energy your body burns through all the little movements you do outside of formal workouts: walking, cleaning, gardening, taking the stairs, even fidgeting. These micro-movements might seem insignificant, but they add up to a major impact on your metabolism, heart health, and longevity.
