Designed for all fitness levels, our 8-Week Women’s Strength Training Series will help you build strength, refine your technique, and challenge your balance within a supportive community of strong women. Feel capable in your body, no matter your age or experience! The majority of our program's alumni finish the series with significant gains in muscle mass and decreases in body fat.

You’ll also learn from outside experts, including dietitians, exercise physiologists, and pelvic floor occupational therapists so you’ll walk away with practical knowledge to support your progress well beyond the gym.

Chad Tannenbaum

We’re delighted to highlight our November Member of the Month, Chad!

Chad has been a member of Active Wellness Center Petaluma since January 2025. His ideal workout includes stretching, lifting, and cardio, followed by a steam or sauna. His favorite exercise is the lat pulldown.

What motivates Chad is the drive to be healthy, both physically and mentally. “I want to live a long, healthy life and be there for my loved ones,” he shares. Chad has recovered from multiple extreme injuries and works out daily for his mental health. In his words, the discipline to stay consistent in the gym has been a major factor in progressing in all aspects of his life.

Outside of the club, Chad enjoys golf, sporting events, comedy, getting in the ocean, and spending time with family and friends.

Congratulations, Chad, and thank you for being part of our community!

Chela Martinez

Chela has been a valued member of the club team for over 12 years, dating back to our Club One days. With approximately 15 years of experience teaching fitness, Chela brings incredible energy, enthusiasm, and passion to every Zumba class she leads. Her dedication to our members, positive attitude, and willingness to step in whenever needed make her an invaluable part of our team.

For anyone thinking about trying a ZONE class for the first time, Michelle’s advice is simple: “Just give it a try! You don’t need to be at a certain fitness level or know exactly what you’re doing. The trainers guide you, the workouts are varied and adaptable, and the group atmosphere makes it fun and motivating.”
