Love this family run business of sweet women! The environment is warm, prices are affordable, and grateful for the easy parking. I joined for private strength training and it's one of my favorite parts of the week - my trainer Taylor is wonderful with modifications and makes the whole experience fun. Highly recommend personal training here!! The gym has everything you need. Thanks, Elan team!

Elan has been almost a second home to me for over 20 years. They lent their members equipment to take home during the pandemic, supported me through many phases of my life including becoming a widow, retirement and many phases of parenting. I am the vibrant, fit person that I am largely because of Elan and their staff.

I was in San Anselmo for several weeks in between travel and was looking for a fun to join short term. I'm so glad I joined Elan! Here are some reasons why: it's a female only gym which made me feel comfortable and never judged. Woman of all ages, all shapes and sizes. They offer several classes and all have been consistently great. It never got so busy that you had to wait for a machine or feel like you were on top of someone. The front desk staff and owner were always kind and welcoming and checked in with me frequently. There are tons of machines (albeit a bit old, but who cares - they work great!). There is plenty of parking out front at all times. I'm not a gym goer but Elan had me running there every chance I got. In several weeks, felt like I established more of a community at Elan than the 12 years I lived in Seattle. Join this gym - you will be so happy you did!

my daughter and I live in town so its great to be able to walk over. the facility is welcoming and very clean. the people are friendly and helpful. women help eachother on the floor. ive been loving the weights and ladies give eachother tips and ask questions. everyone wipes down the equipment afterwards. its never too crowded where you have to wait in line for equipment. all the machines work well. its been great lifting weights for 30-45min and sweating -getting good workout!

Smells like mold when all the fans are not running. Owner isn't kind or considerate of the patrons/ members and is disrespectful. It is also freezing inside--many people wear sweatshirts and jackets when they workout. Most of the equipment is on the old side. They leave members car keys in a tray on the counter as you walk in rather than keeping them in a secure place. Because I gave my name rather than sign a paper each time, the owner came up to me while I was working out and said she has rules and If I "didn't like them I shouldn't come back." The person on the next machine said she wasn't coming back either. Successful businesses make their customers feel wanted and valued. The owner of this place obviously doesn't care what her members think. Someone else was disappointed when an employee came to tell everyone they were closing at 5pm on a Friday. There are so many wonderful fitness places-you should definitely look elsewhere!

At Elan I found fitness classes that I actually enjoy. I had tried many yoga classes over the years but none ever resonated with me the way my Elan yoga class does. I also never could have predicted that I would grow to love TRX which isn't intimidating here. Elan truly has a community of wonderful, down to earth women of all ages which is exactly what I was looking for. I always feel comfortable here and that feeling has helped me to make exercise a regular, enjoyable part of my life. Thank you Elan!

Love love love Elan! The classes are so fun and the trainers are very supportive. I can't thank them enough for welcoming me and encouraging me every day even though I am new to working out.

Back in the day, there was an “Elan” in Petaluma. I worked out every day early, 5:00 a.m., for 1.5 hours, mostly treadmill, but added body pump and weights to my routine. I was in my 30’s then (now 60, remarried and live in a new state) and Elan provided a clean and fun environment for fitness. Thank you! Good memories!

Elan is an amazing place. The camaraderie, support, and friendship you gain here is worth every bit as much as the fitness goals you achieve. The staff is friendly and inviting, the instructors are knowledgable and the classes are fun.

Heads up to Elan's today on International Woman's Day and every day. Took a great yoga class this morning with many of my sisters. Balance taught by a master teacher. Elan's I think is the only all woman's health club in the county. Women just come and go all day....with determination. So happy to gather with them.

I have been a member of Elan's since before it was Elan's. That goes back more than thirty years. It is a very well kept facility and I like that it is a place where women support women. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.
