Coach Chase has lived his life upside down since childhood. Growing up tumbling in Bakersfield, CA and Boone County Kentucky, his passion for the sport was reignited when he started coaching at the age of 15 and became USAG certified at 18. After moving to Sonoma County for college, Chase stumbled upon Adventure Recreation and the rest was history. Today Coach Chase has a B.A. in Pure Mathematics from Sonoma State University and is an active member of the Petaluma community. You will likely bump into him downtown enjoying a scoop of vegan ice cream from LaLa’s or roller skating through the east side singing at the top of his lungs.

Coach Andrea has been involved in the sport of gymnastics for 33 years, 20 of which she has spent coaching. With a dream to own a gym since she was 9 years old, Andrea attended Humboldt State University and earned a degree in Recreation Administration. Then, in 2010 the first Adventure Recreation was born in Ukiah, CA as a mobile climbing wall. Over the course of 2 years, the company grew into a full gymnasium. Then in 2017 Andrea, her family, and Adventure Recreation moved to Petaluma, CA, and found their home. Today, Coach Andrea enjoys creating a community of athletes and their families. If you know Coach Andrea, you know she is always ready to have a laugh and get silly with her athletes, daughter, son, and friends.
