Meet Our Santa Rosa Personal Trainers
Slow-Movement, High-Intensity Strength Training
Every trainer at E Studio completes a six-month, in-house certification through the High Intensity Training Guild (HITG). The owners, who bring 55 years of combined experience, mentor each trainer through the program, pairing hands-on practice with the coursework found in traditional certifications.
Sessions focus on controlled, SuperSlow strength training in a private downtown studio, with a maximum of four people on the floor at a time. Book a free intro session to meet the trainer who fits your goals.

Laura Robinson
Laura has coached at E Studio since the doors opened in 2005. She helps clients stay strong and active through slow-movement, high-intensity training, tailoring each session to your individual health history. As a busy mother of two, she values how a 30-minute weekly workout fits into a full schedule.
"I love my workouts at E Studio with Laura! I feel that I am conquering the ability to age gracefully with extra strength, and the weekly workouts in Super Slow are helping me maintain good muscle strength and bone density I need at my age! 71 years young!"
Vivian Klein
"Laura is a kind, fun trainer with a wonderful personality. The Super Slow training is effective, and I absolutely love it! I have been going here for years now and it really does work! The people and the environment are the opposite of a gross and intimidating gym. I really can't recommend Laura and E Studio highly enough."

Peter Schifrin
Peter is an Olympian who has coached Olympians, and he brings decades of experience as a coach and university instructor to every session. He draws on that background to help clients stay motivated toward both short-term and long-term goals. As the father of an adult son with developmental disabilities, Peter brings understanding and empathy to clients of every ability. He discovered SuperSlow strength training at E Studio in 2017 and knew the program was safe and effective, and then found himself stronger and free of pain.
"My trainer Peter balances the goal of increasing strength with listening to me and my need to adjust the workout as my body indicates. As an elder, now in my early 70s, I use strength training to rehab from injuries, maintain and build strength where I can, and maintain my bone density and balance."
Deborah Klein
"It has now been six solid months since I started my weekly training with Peter at E Studio. I am not typically one to write reviews, but I've seen such massive results in my strength that I had to. I feel special and well cared for at this studio. The private environment makes all the difference and the results speak for themselves. Thanks E Studio!"

Kendell Antognini
Kendell joined the team in May 2007. She helps clients build healthy habits that combine good nutrition with regular exercise, guiding them toward more energy, strength, and overall wellness. Kendell is a certified nutrition consultant through Bauman College and is able to provide expert recommendations for diet, including targeted nutrients through whole-foods.
"My trainer Kendell is an inspiration, so positive and encouraging. I've been coming since 2018 and still love my weekly workouts. The "super slow" method of strength training gets amazing results in a brief but intense 30 minute weekly session. Strong muscles = Strong bones."
Pamela Kind
"I have been going to E Studio for 3 years now and am very happy with the results. My trainer Kendall is attentive, knowledgeable, and takes into account the whole of my health. Workouts are adjusted as to my state of health and energy level. I highly recommend this Studio!"

Kaden Christopher
Compassion, patience, and a desire to help people led Kaden to personal training. He saw how a short weekly session can improve clients' daily lives, and he brings a calm, encouraging approach to every workout. His attention to detail helps clients feel well supported as they build strength and health.
"The Super Slow Methodology is science-based, and my trainer Kaden is kind, knowledgeable, and supportive. I have tried many different types of exercise, but this is the first time I have been consistent over time, and I look forward to going every week."
Gail Ginder
"To be truthful, I was very skeptical that you could have a complete body workout in 30 minutes once a week, but I was so wrong. I have been going for a year and a half and have seen and felt massive results. Thank you, Kaden, for being a fantastic coach and great person."

Kelly Chamberlain
Kelly helps clients improve their health and strength through slow-movement training, and she is inspired by what a short weekly session can accomplish.

"Kelly is an awesome combination of helping clients challenge themselves with self awareness and compassion. I appreciate her and E Studio!"
Jessica McIninch
"My weekly thirty-minute workouts at E Studio with Kelly have been key to maintaining and improving my health and well-being. Kelly has created a program that is effective at maximizing the benefits for my time and effort. I would recommend investing the time to see what Kelly and E Studio can do for you."

Kaya supports clients in making positive changes. Having experienced the benefits of this exercise style firsthand, she emphasizes presence and body awareness in every session. Her encouraging attitude creates a calm, motivating atmosphere, and her personalized approach takes each client's fitness level and individual needs into account.
"I can't say enough good things about this studio and my personal trainer Kaya. She provides expert direction and enthusiastic encouragement to get me from start to finish every week."
Jacob Powell
"I have advanced osteoporosis and chose E Studio because they offer a form of weightlifting that research has shown to increase bone density. From my initial inquiry to the present, my trainer Kaya has been very encouraging, kind, and professional. Kaya gives great prompts and is very responsive to what my body can handle at any given time, while safely progressing my workouts."

Stacy Leveroni
Stacy helps clients at every experience level reach their fitness goals. She brings more than fourteen years of medical and massage experience and a deep understanding of the body to her training. Stacy believes slow-movement, high-intensity training supports strength building and bone health. As a mother of two young children, she knows how valuable it is to make time for your health, and she sees fitness as a catalyst for positive change in every area of life.
"Stacy is kind, encouraging, and motivational. She offers her support and expertise in a nurturing and healing environment. She will warmly challenge you, like a collaborator or friend, rather than a demanding drill sergeant."
Kathryn Young
"At 65, I'm finally focused on rebuilding my strength and improving my health. After already losing 50 pounds, I was concerned about losing muscle too. But in the 10 months I've been working with Stacy, I've gained visible muscle, real strength, and lost another 20 pounds."

Bonnie and Falcon Christopher
Bonnie and Falcon Christopher founded E Studio Personal Training in 2005 after many years of coaching in busy fitness centers. They envisioned a quiet, private studio where clients could focus fully on their goals and every session receives a trainer's undivided attention.
The studio keeps the floor to a maximum of four people at a time, staff included, which gives clients privacy and focus. Bonnie and Falcon chose slow-movement, high-intensity strength training because it is based on science, not on trends.
Every member of the team has completed hands-on training and is ready to guide you through your weekly session. From the moment you walk in, a friendly, knowledgeable staff member is ready to help you begin.
