Sona Fitness is a true gem! The owners, Dylan and Kenna, are both such fantastic human beings. Dylan greets all the customers at the front desk and provides you a warm welcome every time you step through the door. I so appreciate having such present and aware ownership. Kenna is absolutely incredible at what she does - she is so knowledgable and energetic towards assisting all of her clients. I have been working with Kenna and Julie (both trainers) through postpartum pelvic floor recovery, and have felt such a difference in my strength and overall awareness of my pelvic floor. I can't recommend this gym, their owners, and their trainers enough. Anyone that gets the opportunity to workout at Sona Fitness is very lucky - they're the best!

Sona trainers are the absolute best and I can't recommend Sona enough!! I trained with Kenna during my first postpartum recovery and through my second pregnancy which made all the difference with my second postpartum recovery which has been SO much smoother and honestly a breeze. I'm so happy that I found Sona when I did!! Kenna is so knowledgable about the body (including with pelvic floor issues) and amazing at tailoring programs to my body's specific imbalances and quirks and I feel stronger than ever!!!

Always love my workouts at Sona Fitness. All the instructors are so welcoming and knowledgeable. The smaller size of the class is great as it allows for more hands on and fixing of form when needed.

Kenna and Dylan at Sona are THE.BEST. Kenna is the most knowledgeable professional trainer I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She is able to identify even the most miniscule issues in muscle strength and weaknesses along with modifications for exercises so you are able to get the best possible work out for YOUR body. I cannot say enough good things about Sona Fitness!!!

The best gym and trainers I have ever worked with (and there have been many). They will meet you at your current level/abilities to help you reach your own individual goals. They are kind, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable, and put a lot of thought and care into individual training.

I started going to Sona almost a year ago and it has become one of my favorite places to be! Not only are the trainers and classes top notch, I also enjoy the people. I don't think I can ever go back to big classes again. In the past I only did yoga and now I absolutely love lifting, strength and hiit classes. I appreciate what Kenna and Dylan have created with Sona.

I really can't say enough about Sona Fitness. I started working with my trainer Elizabeth 6 months ago, and I haven't looked back. The gym is a friendly community of clients who are excited about and motivated by the Sona Fitness whole body approach. Workouts build mind and body alike. The atmosphere is friendly and upbeat, and the owners Dylan and Kenna couldn't be nicer and more helpful. The workouts are hard, but focused and motivational. I highly recommend this fitness destination, whether you're looking for a neighborhood place to work one-on-one with a trainer, or to take advantage of the group classes. Sona Fitness is comfortable, inviting, and no one is judging...just encouraging you! Highly recommend.

If you are looking for a solid workout, a chill, but completely positive vibe and personalized attention, Sona is your place. The instructors are excellent and all the equipment and facilities are top notch. With usually only 3-5 people per class, you get a lot of feedback and correction. No two workouts are the same. It's more like personal training with new friends than a class.

I've been using gyms and working with personal trainers for more than 20 years, and Sona is my favorite. Dylan and Kenna provide a very personalized service with small classes and skilled and dedicated trainers. My delightful trainer, Jenny, did a fabulous job getting me ready for the 600-mile/11 day fundraising bike ride I signed up for at the beginning of the year when I was still overweight and out of shape after a couple of years of COVID hibernating. I was able to put in a strong performance and finish the ride without injury, or even any soreness. And Jenny was there to help me keep the momentum going after the ride. Can't recommend Sona enough!

Sona Fitness is the best gym I've ever been a member of. The small group classes offer you the opportunity to get to know your instructor and be seen which is critical in having proper form and getting the most out of your workout.
All of the trainers are extremely knowledgeable, welcoming and so nice. When I first joined Sona, I was 3 months postpartum. Kenna (owner and trainer, also certified in PP health/training) guided through what is often a difficult time, showing me how to safely work out again. I was able to get stronger more quickly than I had done with my first thanks to her guidance.
Having child care is also a wonderful option. I trust that my kids are in safe hands and I can focus on my workout.
Love the new app for scheduling classes and online workouts too!

I have been working out @ Sona for a little over a year now & couldnβt be more pleased with my workouts. I love the small class sizes and the sense of community I feel every time I walk in the door. The trainers are fun, welcoming, attentive and ALWAYS offer new exercises at every class. I am not a self motivator when it comes to working out, so this is perfect for me! I Confidently recommend Sona Fitness to any and everyone!

Sona is the absolute best!!! I was really missing a challenging group experience since Covid and they have completely delivered. You get an awesome workout in a small group and they take all the precautions for a Covid safe environment. I also love the variety of classes! I have taken them all and each one is unique and so beneficial for your workout routine!!

In the past year, I have not only survived a global pandemic, but have also turned 40. The only positive thing to happen in that year (truly) was working out with Kenna. After years of hip and knee pain, I was told that I have a torn labrum in my hip and lots of lost cartilage in my knee. My only options were a barely helpful surgery or intense focus on building my strength. I reached out to Kenna and she took on my case with gusta. When I say that Kenna (and Sona) changed my life this is not an understatement. Kenna helped me to zero in on the small ways my body was out of alignment and correct the HUGE affects of these misalignments. I have been working out with Kenna for a year and I am now totally pain free and happily returning to endurance sports! Beyond that, I am in the best shape of my life (and I have always been an athlete).
Given the pandemic, Kenna and I worked together virtually. I was BLOWN AWAY by her ability to see tiny muscle movements over the screen and to give me exactly the right prompts to correct my posture and alignment. 18 months ago, I was told by medical doctors that I would have to limit my activity and just accept that pain was my new reality. I am now blissfully pain free and ready to remain just as active for the next 40 years. THANK YOU KENNA!

As an active 56 year old and former college athlete I could power through many workouts on my own, but for years I've have had various pain and joint issues that doctors and pt didn't resolve. Then I started working out with Kenna at Sona Fitness. Very quickly Kenna identified a few issues with my body and found exercises for me and to correct the compensation I've done for years. Beyond being the most intuitive trainer I've ever encountered Kenna makes working out fun. She takes my biggest exercise fails and turns them around in a kind, gentle and often funny way. She adjusts my workouts all the time so that I can get the most out of them. When I'm not working out with Kenna, I used the Sona Fitness App and have access to all the amazing trainers and workouts I could ever want. I especially love that Kenna is helping me establish a routine that works for my life and age so that I can continue doing all the active things I love to do. I cannot recommend this company and Kenna more! (BTW the app is fantastic as well!)

I had a wonderful experience working with Jenny at Sona Fitness! She is so kind, compassionate, and encouraging, and her workout routines are always creative, fun, and challenging. She's not afraid to push you to your limits--or to rein you back in if you go too far (or if your alignment is off--she has great knowledge of proper form and anatomy, and will keep you injury-free!). She was always welcome to feedback; I really appreciated that she wanted to understand my goals so she could design a specific program to help me reach them. I cannot recommend Jenny and Sona Fitness highly enough!

I love Sona Fitness! Kenna trained me through my 1st pregnancy and now twice post-partum. She is the best in the business and I'm so excited to have easier access to Sona in the last year and pretty soon in studio. The adjustments are on point and I feel like I'm in great hands with any instructor.

Kenna and Total Sona Fitness are amazing! Several months ago I started training for the 2019 Chicago Marathon (my first marathon). Knee pain was holding me back, so I reached out to Sona for help. Kenna assessed me and made a custom marathon training plan to complement my running schedule. Usually Iβm terrible at adhering to workout plans, but I stuck with the plan because I was able to see immediate results. Kenna was also always available for questions along the way. I credit Kenna and Sona for getting me through my training injury free! I highly recommend Total Sona Fitness for any runner, especially those training for marathons.

As a former collegiate Athlete, working out has been a large part of my life. However, as a full time professional and graduate student, working out had been placed on the back burner. Since joining Total Sona Fitness, I have been able to work out when my schedule permits, allowing me to get back into maintaining a healthy life style. In addition, to the physical transformation, my stress levels have been reduced. Total Sona Fitness truly does help strengthen the whole body.

Love love love Total Sona!! Kenna is seriously amazing! The program is customized for me and my lifestyle. I can do them whenever I want. Wherever I want. I am a teacher and a mom so having that flexibility is so important. I can get a session in before the kids get up in the morning, after they go to bed, or even in my classroom after school before I pick up my kids from daycare. Highly recommend for all!

Total Sona fitness has far exceeded my expectations. The workouts are convenient, easy to use, and flexible enough that they can be completed almost anywhere. Great for an on the go parent who only has minimal free time. To top it all off, the ask an expert service adds the personalized option that many other programs lack. Great job Sona, you have outdone yourselves.

Total Sona Fitness was a great resource for me to try a variety of workouts and help me find what worked for me. The videos are great quality, and everything is clear and easy to understand. From off-days when I couldnβt make it into the gym, to trying yoga for the first time, I would recommend to anyone wanting to switch up from their regular workout routine.

Extremely pleased with this program in more ways than one. Support staff and trainers are not only prompt in their responses but eager to help. Workouts are refreshing and innovative. Never have I had such an effective workout from the comforts of my own home. Will be recommending to everyone I know in search of fitness goals.

Total Sona Fitness is a system that works for me. Staying committed to working out has been challenging in the past, but Sona allows me full control of where and when I work out. They have customized a workout plan that fits me, and are an open line of communication whenever I need them. Total Sona Fitness and Sona Online are something I would recommend to anybody who wants to take control of their health.

Total Sona provides an incredible whole body workout - and itβs a ton of fun! Kenna is hands down the best trainer Iβve ever met. She works with clients of all levels - from absolute beginners to trained athletes - and develops a plan that is customized to each personβs goals. On top of that, she is a ton of fun to be around, which makes the workouts go by even faster. 15/10 recommend to anyone looking for an in-home or online training program!!
