Best gym on the planet. I’ve never been interested in space travel but if The Barn moved to Mars, I might just move to Mars too. I feel so lucky to have this gym and community right here in Sebastopol. Please never leave!

It’s changed how I think about fitness and I just love how welcoming and open everyone is. Getting strong is fun! Who knew? Thanks, Zoe, Urban, Chris, and the whole Barn crew.

I've tried a lot of gyms over the years, but nothing compares to The Barn. The trainers here are phenomenal—knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in your progress. They don’t just put you through the motions; they focus on teaching proper form and ensuring that moves are done safely and effectively.

The workouts are incredibly fun and unique. No two sessions are the same, and they’re always creative, challenging, and designed to keep you engaged. You can tell the trainers put a lot of thought into their programming and a bonus is the workouts are posted on their website ahead of time. Plus, they always take the time to incorporate thorough warm-ups, which sets the tone for a safe and productive workout.

The community at The Barn is diverse and supportive. Members are friendly, and it’s easy to feel comfortable and included during workouts. The atmosphere is professional yet approachable, making it an enjoyable place to train. I highly recommend!

The Barn isn't just another gym – it's a transformative community that delivered exactly what I needed as a new mom looking to get stronger. What truly sets this place apart is the incredible sense of community fostered by owners Zoe and Urban. The coaches are exceptional, providing expert guidance while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere. The encouraging environment makes even the toughest workouts enjoyable, and I'm grateful to have found not just a gym, but a supportive community. If you're looking for a fitness space that combines professional coaching with a warm, inclusive atmosphere, The Barn is exactly where you need to be.

I've tried workout classes at probably a dozen gyms and the Barn is by far the best workout experience. The coaches are super knowledgeable and perceptive. They'll tell you if they see you doing something that could hurt yourself. The classes are all different, which keeps it interesting for those of us who get bored easily with the same movements. I never check the day's workout before I go, because I fully trust it will be worthwhile. The gym community is so supportive and non-judgmental, with folks of all ages. I especially recommend the Barn to anyone (like myself a year ago) who is new to the area and looking to build local community. I love the Barn!

The Barn is the best workout, hands-down! It doesn’t matter your fitness level, age, or body type—all are welcome, and you'll feel that warm vibe immediately because the trainers are very personable and make you feel comfortable in a non-judgemental environment. The classes are a perfect mix of strength and cardio, with plenty of modifications for different fitness levels. The trainers are incredible; they explain everything and also go into detail about how it will help with your knees, back, and abs, etc. They always keep a watchful eye to ensure you’re making all the right moves and aligning properly. The endorphin boost after every class is addicting. Zoe and Urban created a beautiful community for all to enjoy, and I’m incredibly grateful for The Barn!!

I absolutely love the vibe of this gym. The owner brings a wealth of knowledge and experience as well as the entire staff. This community is welcoming and accommodates all ages and fitness abilities. I come from a CrossFit gym and in the less than 30 days I’ve been here my fitness has improved in ways I thought weren’t ever going to get better. I’m strengthening and training in a way that leave my body feeling stronger and not hurting like I was before. I highly recommend giving it a try!

Love this place! Been coming here a year+, completely helped rebuild the areas of my body that have been damaged throughout the years. Feel better about myself, stronger in a healthy way, the people that come here are great - fun, supportive. Coaches are fantastic, attentive, can scale to any needs. Classes are effective and programed with a lot of care. And now they have offer killer food

Once upon a time I used to be in the gym six days a week when I was in my 30s. Then life happened and the best I could do with the circumstances I was in was home workouts, which were good and kept me fairly toned, but nothing to build or keep muscle. Then 60 happened and all of a sudden I had horrible balance! Because I had stopped doing strength training, I had become weak, particularly my legs. Discovering The Barn has been a game changer. At first I was extremely intimidated; everyone seemed so strong and fit. But I made myself keep going despite my discomfort. I’ve been going for eight months now, and I am feeling much stronger and more confident. Sure, there are still days where I wonder if I can do the workouts, but I get through them and after I’m finished, I feel GREAT! This is a fantastic, very supportive environment. Like a big workout family (I might need conditioning, but I’m still very picky). The owners and coaches are amazing and absolutely know what they’re doing. Incredibly knowledgeable. I’m really grateful I found them and highly recommend.
