CATT TRIPOLI
“I used to dread working out, but now my personal training sessions with Catt are the highlight of my week!”
--Jeffrey Thompson
With a Ms. International title, NPC USA Championship, and the cover of Health & Fitness magazine under her belt, you might think that Catt Tripoli trains only hardcore fitness enthusiasts, but she is equally enthusiastic about working with clients new to personal training and keeps everyone on track with her infectious optimism and unfailing good cheer. A fixture on the North Bay fitness scene for the past two decades, Catt has founded or co-founded some of Sonoma County’s most popular health clubs including Fusion Fitness and Body Central.

Whether your fitness goals are short or long-term, Catt will develop a program specifically tailored to your needs and make your training sessions equally fun and challenging.

SHELLIE SCHULZE
5th Street Fitness House Trainer
“I was extremely impressed with your training. Allow me to say that you are, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the BEST personal trainer in Santa Rosa! I’m excited to see what you can do with my training!”
--Dr. Dave Lincoln
Fitness comes in all shapes and sizes, as personal trainer Shellie Schulze can attest through her own inspiring story. Her days were filled with couch sitting, TV watching and refrigerator emptying till she realized that she had to make changes. The last thing she wanted to do was join a gym and hire a trainer! But she did, ultimately becoming a trainer herself. To Shellie, the most important thing is that clients improve their fitness level--not fit into a size 4. But, make no mistake: her workouts are tough enough for even the most hardcore fitness enthusiast! Shellie loves helping people feel better and get stronger, and has helped many clients alleviate back pain while developing her Fitness PLUS program for clients with 40+ pounds to lose.

CHUCK MIGNOSA
“Chuck has helped Tim and I lose over 40 lbs. between the 2 of us and we did it in 8 weeks! We’ll never stop training with Chuck!”
--John Torres and Tim Webb
Chuck has been training for over 30 years and has been with 5th Street Fitness since we first opened in 1992 (talk about “old school!”). Over the years, Chuck has gotten hundreds of clients in great shape, including his wife Linda, whom he helped take 1st place in the Ms. America bodybuilding competition! And as an added bonus, when you train with Chuck, you get his unique brand of humor to get you through the really tough sets. Chuck has worked with everyone from teens to moms to seniors to achieve amazing results including fat loss and gain of lean muscle mass, but believes the most important result is simply a healthy lifestyle!

GRANT ELLIOT: GE FITNESS
“I came to Grant at a weight of 150 lbs and 29% body fat. Today I weigh 118 lbs and my body fat has dropped to 18%!”
--Kiarsten Gill
Walk into any gym in this country and you will see so many people pushing themselves hard with little result. Why is that? I believe that too many people are just not lifting properly. Or, they don’t know how to tie in diet and a cardio program with their resistance training. My goal as a trainer is to make everyone feel healthier and look better. Whatever your goal may be, I can help you get there. I have worked with hundreds of people and almost all of them have been able to hit their goals, whether it be to lose weight, tone up, or get fit!
