Annadel Dance and Fitness Studio

I moved to Santa Rosa two years ago and July. I struggle to find a gym that I felt comfortable in. Then my friend Sarah told me about Anadel fitness. I love all the instructors. Ollie who teaches Zumba is fantastic she’s easy to follow, but challenging and always upbeat, Lilliana is so happy and enthusiastic, you can tell she loves what she’s doing. Then of course there is the owner Kelly, wow what a great workout and so fun. I just took yoga with Shannon and she was a great balance of calm and enthusiasm. Even though I haven’t taken yoga for about 8 years she made me feel comfortable. Also, she had such a wonderful energy about her. I walked away feeling like a better person. Annadel is my new home away from home.

Kelly’s Zumba class is the best EVER. It’s so freakin’ fun that I can’t stop smiling. I used to drive from Sebastopol to Santa Rosa several times per week to come to her classes. Now I live in TEXAS and any time I’m visiting the Bay Area, I make sure and catch as many classes as I can. You’d think being in Austin, TX that we’d have great zumba, but nobody compares to Kelly! She teaches a great combo of hiphop and funk (as opposed to only latin). Everyone is singing along and laughing while sweating our patooties off. It’s a challenging workout and I always leave feeling like I got way more than my money’s worth. Kelly is also a very generous person and you’ll see this studio sponsoring fundraising and charitable events year-​round. I saw another review saying that the studio wasn’t responsive, but I contacted Kelly via Facebook before I went there and got a direct message back within a couple of hours. When I showed up at class, she remembered me and welcomed me in. Kelly has some crazy memory because she learns everyone’s names in class (and these classes are always very full)! So, don’t even think twice — just come! You won’t regret it. Great community, great instructors and great value!

I was really excited to try out a new fitness place upon my visit to Santa Rosa. I did some research and saw this studio was close to my friends house. I found this place on Unilocal.I called the number via Unilocal to make a couple of inquiries regarding the classes provided. I called Kelly on Friday in the morning, left a message and did not get a response. I called again on Sunday in hopes to reach her in time for a class on Monday morning. I left a message and still never recieved a response. One of my inquiries had to do with pricing. I went to a scheduled class on Monday morning, and after talked to the intructor who turned out to be Kelly. I told her I was the one visiting from out of town and had left 2 messages on her phone. Her response was her weekends are for her children, meaning she doesn’t take business calls. I was then told her drop in fee for Zumba was $ 10 a class. I paid, but had I known the class was that expensive, I would have gladly went elsewhere. Or, as I found out after taking Kelly’s class, another lady was offering a class the next day at the same studio for half the price of $ 5. This particular instructor, Kelly, wasn’t very welcoming. I left this studio frustrated and annoyed… both not good for first impressions. While I can respect family time, why is her number linked to both their website and Unilocal page if she doesn’t have time for new or any for that matter, inquiries? My experience with her class itself: There were only 2 latin songs, which was kind of a drag… as us Zumba fans know, Zumba encompasses all types of music: hip-​hop, dance, reggaeton, salsa, cumbias, etc. However, the class was full of energy and was fun. I only wish this place left a better taste in my mouth.

I used to live in SF and I often visit Santa Rosa and needing a zumba place. So I Unilocaled it and stumbled upon this awesome studio, and had my first class with Kelly. And I continued commuting to Santa Rosa just to attend her class, then I decided to move to santa rosa 95% because of Kelly’s class, and 5% coz i love santa rosa.
Now that I live here, i go to her class 4−5x a week; her class is fun, you will leave sweaty, always; its more of a cardio zumba not just dancy dancy type of zumba if you know what i mean; Kelly is funny, always on time and has a great personality
And I go to other classes at her studio too, like Barsculpt with amy, pilates with sonya, latin zumba with ali, trx with colleen; theres just tons and tons of classes to choose from! I love this place!

Went to my first Zumba class ever today with Kelly … she has amazing energy at 6:15 in the morning. Gym was wonderful and class started right on time and finished right on time. Content was fun and full of energy and got a great work out in. Can’t wait to go back every Tuesday & Thursday.

Being a Zumba lover I like to try all places. I found Roxanne, and loved her classes. She is super energetic and is amazing. The problem is that its a very small studio. Not much room for newbies. I felt like all of the people that were there had been going everyday for years. I would get dirty looks if I was in someones «spot». i find most women are friendly when it comes to situations like this but I felt like an outcast. It felt like a really bad high school clique that I couldn’t join. To bad because Roxanne is amazing!

Well I found the new exercise that gets me off of my butt and out the door to sweat like crazy five days a week. Yes, it is Zumba. Not just anyone though,(and yes, I have tried many. Over 12 of them all over Santa Rosa Id say). My love for it is all Kelly’s fault at Annadel and I am anything but upset over it! After trying Zumba at almost every gym/​studio in Santa Rosa, I finally found the right place. My search was over as soon as I took my first class here. I was 50 lbs overweight when I started here and now I am well on my way to reaching my goal weight. I have been fitness crazy most of my life however, I am now 40 years old and getting in back in shape after having my first child has proven to be hell on earth. I used to be able to lose the weights so easily (just a few weeks without eating the ENTIRE contents of my refrigerator). I was sure at the time in my 20’s and early 30’s that nothing could get worse than dieting but guess what? It does! Ten times worse! There is NOTHING like trying to shed the weight after reaching your late 30’s early 40’s. So, you can imagine how in love with Kelly I am after finally losing a good deal of weight just by having a blast in her class! I sweat so much with Kelly and all of the other fantastic women of all shapes and sizes that are addicted to this zumba class. I swear I would do it twice a day every day if I could afford it. Well come to find out, I can afford it! There is an unlimited pass Kelly offers at a very reasonable price and I am going to buy that pass asap and get my butt into even better shape than I ever did in my 20’s! It would be a real shame to give up on Zumba without trying out Annadel FItness. There are three fantastic Zumba instructors and their classes are all addictive. I am personally obsessed with Kelly’s but there are the Roxanne and Ali loyalists as well and they are great too! I used to dance all night in clubs and discos (yes, Im old) and now I can do it without the guilt of being in a club where an old woman with a young child at home doesn’t feel comfortable anymore getting her groove on! I get it here and it is way more fun than I may have had in those meat markets! Do yourself a service and try it out. You will see what we are all talking about.

Visiting yogi and glad to see yoga offered at this fitness studio. Not a yoga studio, but has quietude unlike a gym. Add the music and the atmosphere was great. The teacher, brian, was engaging, approachable and welcoming. Brian taught a nice advanced class but there was a yoga first timer in the class and Brian easily went from keeping the advanced level while not leaving the beginner behind. Not all teachers can do that. Locals should feel lucky to discover the studio.

Love this place! All of the ladies are super friendly and nice. Always leave with a great workout onlyy complaint is that it is not cost friendly to poor college students :/

There are not many Fellas here so let me be the first! The studio is great, the diversity of classes is amazing, and the people; well I just cannot say enough. From the instructors to the clientelle it is all first class and top notch. I could barely wiggle a few months ago. Now I sweat more in 45 minutes than I did running 7 miles. All while learning great steps in Carlos’ class but bar sculpt killed me, kelly burries me, and Roxanne is just super fun too. They all make eating my burgers and drinking my bear acceptable because I get to burn off the calories.
What a great and fun way to get your sweat on. I recommend that you all go to at least two or three different classes if you are considering finding a great place where you will be inspired to have fun while you get fit.
Men, get up and get out too! All these great ladies are getting super healthy and you should too!

I am the most uncoordinated person on the planet, and pushing 60 besides, and I’m totally addicted to this place! Kelly is very welcoming and g, enuine and friendly. Ali’s class on Tuesday is a lot of fun. Jill teaches «Slow Zumba» on Saturday, and it is also a good workout, and a lot of fun. I have never danced before, but this place has done it for me, for sure! Try it – but don’t come to the classes I go to, cuz it’s packed!

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! I’ve now lost 130lbs doing Zumba here!!! I go to Colleen’s TRX Fitness by Design classes at 6:15am Wed & Fri, and Kelly’s Sunday morning and Tues/​Thursday early morning Zumba classes. I also occasionally go to the BarSculpt classes with Amy, who is also freakin awesome. For the first time in my life I ENJOY working out, I feel great, and both ladies are so supportive and inspirational! These are the best classes I’ve ever been to, not only because the instructors are the absolute best, but also the people who are in the class are SO cool and supportive — I’ve made many friends there and they are one of the many reasons why I keep going back.
I commute six days a week from Petaluma to Santa Rosa for these classes because they are worth it. You will not find a better TRX or Zumba class! Going four days a week and eating right was how I lost 130lbs in a little over a year — I am proof that this place is nothing short of the best. My whole life has changed and I completely credit Annadel Dance and Fitness!

everybody has a great attitude and everyone has fun!
thank you!

The owner, Kelly, brings such amazing energy to every class. Rain or shine, sick or tired… she never fails to deliver a high impact FUN workout! The studio is adorable and easily accessible. All the other instructors are great too! Zumba is my fave, but there are many other great classes that I look forward to taking. Such positive energy always resonates in this special little studio… Come party with us and shake your booty!

Annadel Dance and Fitness is top notch! They offer a wide variety of dance and fitness classes covering all ages, fitness & skill levels.
I especially love Kelly’s Zumba classes. They’re energetic, extraordinarily fun, there’s fantastic music, lots of support and camaraderie. Kelly even took extra time after class to show me some of the more difficult (for me) dance moves. Her enthusiasm for dance is contagious and you can tell by the number of ladies coming to class that I’m not alone in loving Annadel Dance!
If you haven’t tried Zumba yet, it’s a must! No matter what your age or fitness level from kids to baby boomers, Annadel offers classes to suit you. I’ve never had so much fun getting fit. I have so much fun in the classes that I never watch the clock and find myself wishing the class was longer!
It’s is very convenient to be able to ‘drop in’ for classes –you pay for what you use. No expensive gym membership and the instructors offer discount punch cards for multiple classes. A real bonus!
If you’re not sure if you can keep up with a regular Zumba class, give Zumba Gold a try. It’s specifically designed for beginners and baby boomers and Anna Tu’s class is perfect! She does a great mix up of Latin and international dance moves that are perfect for someone like me who was just getting started leaning the Latin dance moves. I was intimidated to try Zumba at first but Anna leads you through the easy to do, yet incredibly fun routines -. Her classes are just plain FUN FUN FUN! If the 80 year old ladies in her class can do it, SO CAN YOU!
Give Roxanne and Dusty a try too, they’re great gals and have incredible moves, infectious energy and are great dancers and even better teachers!
I can’t wait to try out the other instructors’ classes! Each instructor has their own style and music, so great to be able to mix it up!
I’m looking forward to trying out some of the other types of fitness classes offered too, but where to start? Yoga, pilates, BarSculpt, maybe even Boot Camp! Now if only my kids had Zumbatomic when they were growing up!
The bottom line is that Kelly has done a great job in opening this Dance and Fitness studio. I feel blessed to have found it and will keep coming back! I’m already seeing results — I’ve lost ¾ of an inch around my waist in just a little over a month — and had way too much FUN doing it!

I can not say enough positive things about this studio! Kelly is an amazing instructor and really make everyone feel supported, comfortable and happy during her classes. They offer zumba, pilates, yoga, bar classes, boot camp and more! They even have kids zumba! I’ve been coming to this studio for a month now and have already seen a huge difference in my body. I know it sounds cliché but it is true! Inches are gone! Thank you Kelly for opening an affordable studio! I’m so glad someone referred me to you!

love this studio!!! really great place with tons of great classes and instructors! really positive environment where everyone regardless of shape or size is welcome and feels comfortable!
re: previous post, not sure why it matters if someone is a new Unilocaler… could be that this is the first thing i felt strongly enough about to actually post a review… just sayin.

Annadel Dance and Fitness is a great studio that gives clients a choice of the different types of workouts that they will enjoy. There is something for everyone, even kids. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fun way to get in shape with a super supportive staff.
