Not the typical indoor slope user (expert skier who's done every kind of lesson/drill/clinic that's…read moreout there), but I've found the setup and instruction at Adventurous to be fantastic so far. It's basically a controlled version of snow skiing with much more friction, so every weakness in your form and technique is amplified 10x. Basically, snow sliding in slow motion. I'm finding it invaluable to prep myself for snow season AND to explore movements/drills that would usually be too risky or potentially injurious to use on the snow. Also, huge shoutout to the instructor, Joad Stein. He deeply understands technique, progression, and how to adapt training to the individual user & background. I've trained with some of the best in skiing and he's absolutely at the elite level instruction & understanding-wise. Super enjoyable getting prepped and bouncing ideas off him, and I'm looking forward to the continuous improvement to come adding Adventurous to my ski prep regimen!!! I'd recommend it to everyone from complete novices to expert ski racers. It's that valuable (and far cheaper/less painful than the same experience up on the snow). Get your instruction out of the way in SF, then ENJOY and SHRED up in the snow!

A special thanks to David and Will for taking such great care of my bike. They performed a complete tune-up, installed a pair of brand-new Panaracer GravelKing tires, and replaced my pedals. I dropped my bike off in the morning, and it was ready by the end of the day. It rode like new, and I couldn't have been happier with the quality of their work. I've always been a big fan of REI because they genuinely provide personalized service, especially for us cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts. This location is an excellent example of what makes REI so special. Over the years, I've purchased much of my hiking and camping gear here, including one of my favorite Trailmade sleeping bags, which has accompanied me on many adventures. I also appreciate REI's quality Co-op branded products, reasonable prices, and the fantastic sales they offer throughout the year. If you're looking for knowledgeable staff, outstanding bike service, and quality outdoor gear, I highly recommend this REI location. Cheers!

However, the support on the register is always amazing. They are friendly, humorous and try to help even when they don't have the answer. Also, I was really disappointed that they don't carry any water craft, nor was the person I was speaking to this evening willing to help or ask if anyone in the store could make suggestions... essentially, because it won't result in a sale for them. They should be experts in most things outdoors; and be able to provide some suggestions for ordering from their website.

The staff were super friendly and attentive! I came in for a heat mold for my boots for the upcoming season. I had called a day prior to get a price quote on the service and was satisfied with the answer. When I came in, I was told a different price. After explaining that I was originally quoted the agreed upon price, Reili (staff member) agreed to honor the original price I was told. Once we got started with the heat mold process, Reili continued to be attentive and gave me time-reminders. Once I put the boots on, I still had a couple pressure spots that were bothersome on the top of my feet, he continued to observe and offered a solution to fix the issue. Overall I am extremely satisfied with this place and would HIGHLY recommend it for anyone looking to get their snow gear!

The tools in the wood shop are great, and the instructors really know their stuff. What's more, those guys sure know how to keep a sharp edge on their equipment. Tuition is, in my opinion, up to what one would expect to pay in today's economy, especially considering that everyone is scrambling for cash to stay afloat, even the local government and its affiliated programs. The registration process on the archaic website is a touch on the byzantine side, though. It looks a lot like the very first website I ever coded when I was 16 years old. Uhh, now that I think about it, it looks like the website I designed a few years ago. But I'm no web designer, so hah! Point being, you're gonna have to dig around a little bit to find what you're looking for, but once you've found it, the actual act of registering for a class is pretty straightforward. Now, back to the woodworking instructors: Between the Bill and Dave, they've got about 70 years experience, 20 fingers, 20 toes, and 8 eyes (they both wear glasses). So I trust them to teach me the ways. I don't know if I'll ever be able to snatch the pebble from their hands, but I'm confident that they're showing me how to keep all my phalanges and body parts so that I could snatch that pebble, even if only in theory. I plan on taking many more courses here, especially in the "Working with Wood" category of classes. Now go forth and learn something new!

Erin Wallace, the owner of Transformational Healing Center, is a light and an inspiration!…read more My journey with her began with a curiosity about DNA Activation. I am always enjoying, exploring and experiencing different healing modalities, and my Activation with Erin made me feel great, which was awesome. However, I have referred friends & family to her who have experienced their DNA activations as profound and life-altering experiences, enabling them to break through many of their obstacles in one go. While I loved it and definitely felt clearer & better, the DNA activation did not totally transform my life, however, it did feel wonderful and propelled me forward into deeper healing. Since that initial experience with Erin, I have received so many different and powerful modalities from her - ancient Mystery School techniques & healings - and they have all been deeply empowering and transformative. For those wanting a healing path without process work (though I also practice & love process work!) where you can just relax and allow yourself to gently glide back into who-you-truly-are, I whole-heartedly recommend: Isis Healing King Solomon Healing Modality Etheric Surgery For those wanting to move deeper into the exploration of their spiritual selves, her Mystery School classes are amazing and she is a loving and generous teacher and guide!

He gets knowledgeable and patient coaches. My kids have always been paired with fantastic coaches/mentors that inspire them to learn several coding languages and create their own programs. The kids meet once/week with their instructor and/or with another child with similar ability for an hour to code a project of their choice. The Coder School is unlike other coding lessons. While the other places tell the kids which button to push to create the same code, the Coder School coaches/mentors help the children create what the kids want to code and teach to that. Every week their coach emails a report on their project and what they have been learning. In reality, my kids are too excited and want to show what they've accomplished immediately after every sessions even after several years of coding classes. We, as parents and a tech professional, are in awe of the code that our children have created and can't believe they have progressed so far and how much they love to code. A big thank you to McGrail, the coaches and the Coder School.
