Just a bunch of really dumb rules. Shoes... really? Most people do deadlifts in socks because that's what's SAFE. Deadlifting in shoes is a great way to pull the old back. Yeah, I get you don't want people walking around in socks but to perform a movement in one place is perfectly reasonable. Please fix your bikes. Some of us are limited in what cardio equipment we can use. Also, look into a new leg press and adductor/abductor machines. They don't give full range. The leg press forces sheer force on the knees that's super painful. It's pretty much unusable if you have any OA in your knees.

The staff at the Carlisle YMCA childcare center lacks many things.. They are all young volunteers…read moreor young "teachers" who have no children of their own to offer real life experience. Communication amongst the center is terrible. Everyone will say how wonderful your child is & then the director will send you a nasty message bringing something to your attention you weren't even aware of.. save your time & money. Unless you want your child to be thrown on the playground with children of all ages ranging from 1-5 years old for most of the day with their expectation of them all acting right... They are good at throwing parties for the kids but god forbid a 1 year old doesn't know how to properly regulate their emotions or have better impulse control they'll start making accusations that your kid has a developmental problem... not to mention, after having our son evaluated by his doctor he was certain the daycare was the issue & insinuated they were not equipped to handle children's normal developmental behaviors. Most importantly, the fact that the directors daughter was starting in our sons class was the prime reason he was kicked out after being given SEVEN days to turn his behavior around, A ONE YEAR OLD. The situation is laughable, since it's clear they don't know how to handle the children at their center. While they only had 3 students in his classroom, the new center we recently switched to has 16 & they truly know how to handle each and every one of them all at the same time!

The gym is waaay better than it used to be! They did a major overhaul a few years back and it's now nice-sized. The cardio machines have their own area, and then the rest of the machines etc are on the other side of the desk. I wish they had more machines, but there is a pretty strict 30 minute sign-up rule when things are busy that seems to work. The locker rooms are nice, and they have a pool/sauna. I haven't used the sauna in like 5 years, but if I remember correctly they have a steam room and a nice hot tub. Now that I'm thinking about it..why haven't I used the hot tub the last few times??

The staff was absolutely incredible and took care of everything. It was wonderful to be able to relax and enjoy my daughters birthday without the stress. They really made her feel special, and her little party guests couldn't get over how great the facility was. We love our classes, and we often have a choice between two or three times in any given week (the class times change by season), and there's always at least one in the evenings, and one during the day, so there's plenty of variety. There is a one-time membership fee, but it's good for life per household (so I paid it once for my daughter, and it's good for my son and any subsequent children). Classes come out to about $70ish per month for one weekly class, and one "practice and play" (which is essentially open gym time with no structured class). There is no drop in rate, which helps keep classes consistent. If you have to miss a class because of sickness or a schedule conflict they give you a make-up class in your online account that you can schedule at your leisure. I tell everyone I know about My Gym and how much we love it there. The staff is wonderful, the facility is clean, and my kids love going!

LOCAL NICHE BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT…read more After our daughter, Piper, had so much fun at a class here, I had to learn more about this niche business and the people that make it what it is. I believe in the arts and the benefits of creativity and expression in our society, so it was a pleasure meeting with Molly Shortridge and Justin Clauser of The Perfect 5th Musical Arts Center recently for a tour and some insight into their business. Here's some of my conversation with these two important Central PA musical educators... 1. Founding year? 2011 2. Founder Full name? Eric Wirsing (Guitarist for Solar Federation) 3. Current Owners Full Names? Molly Shortridge (Flutist) and Justin Clauser (Guitarist) 4. Something people might not know about what you do/a common misconception? In addition to music instruction, we offer private and group classes in art and acting. In the Summer, we have camps for music, art, and acting such as Musical Theater, Painting, Drawing, Guitar, Rock Bands, and even specialized camps for young children. 5. Anything you think people might want to know or find interesting? We have highly trained instructors in their field who are also performing musicians. We have teachers from Julliard, Indiana University, Columbia College, Berklee College of Music, Temple University, and many other quality institutions. You can also find our teachers in bands and ensembles such as Into The Spin, Breaking Benjamin, Colebrook Road, Good in the Dark, That Girl,, The Keating Jazz Orchestra, U.S. Army Field bands, The Maryland Symphony Orchestra, Trinity Chamber Orchestra, and Canaan's Land. To find out more, please visit our website at ThePerfect5th.com to read biography's of each of our instructors. We are always interested in designing classes specific to what our community wants. If you have an idea for a small group of people we would love to make it for you. We currently work with the Girl Scouts to help them earn their art badges and would love to team up with more local organizations. 6. Your favorite part about the business? Our favorite part of The Perfect 5th is the sense of community. It is not just a place for musicians, artists, and actors to learn, but a place for us to gather and collaborate. Many local bands have formed out of students that met here and many students have been inspired to become professional artists and musicians. We have prepared students for colleges, conservatories, musicals, acting jobs, working as session musicians, and even for performing in the Marine Band. 7. What's your message or mission? We strive to encourage, nurture, and teach students of all ages and abilities, adapting lessons to individual needs. We hope to enhance lives with the joy of learning an art that lasts a lifetime. We also encourage our students to become members of the community who contribute their personal art and talent to others in ways that are meaningful and promote goodwill. Find them everywhere!...

I sent my son to Enloa KinderCare from June to the middle of August 2023. The caretakers and the…read moreenvironment were good. I am pleased with the development my 16 month old had during that period. But overall I had a bad experience due to last minute cancellations and a bad refund policy. I outline the details below. For context, I put my son in this daycare full-time, five days per week, and they charged me $400 weekly. I paid the $400 in advance for the following week each Saturday. Thus, I was paying $80 a day in advance. In my 2.5 months of using the daycare, there were four times we were asked to keep kids at home or the Daycare was closed. On two of these occasions, they sent the message out the night before. On the other two occasions, the message went out the same day. One of those times, my mother-in-law had already left to drop my son off. One of those times was from an outbreak of hand, foot, and mouth disease, which led them to cancel for two straight days leading into the weekend. This was a very contagious disease, so this is understandable. Though they didn't act fast enough to stop most of the kids from getting infected. Further, I was not given a full refund (details below) In the other three times it was because there were not enough staff. In two of these instances, we were asked to keep our kids at home in exchange for $50 credit. Note that $50 is less than the $80 I already paid. . So we were asked to keep our kid at home, for an amount less than what we had already paid to send them there. One of those three times was a last minute announcement that daycare was canceled because staff had all called off. This was the instance my MIL had already left to take him to daycare. For the three times they were short-staffed, I would remind the reader that while emergencies happen, lack of staff is a problem with their business operations. In that instance where they announced daycare was canceled after my MIL had already left with my son, I had to fight to get my $80 back. For reference, here was my exchange with the Kindercare location director. Director (July 31 Monday morning): If you are receiving this message. Your child's classroom will be closed July 31. We just had another call out. This effects xx, xx, xx, xx, and xx. I am truly sorry for this inconvenience. Me: May I have a refund for this cancellation? Director: Unfortunately the rate for 4 days is the same for 5 days. Me: It is my understanding that by paying weekly, I am paying for 5 days of care per week. Since Kindercare will only be providing 4 days of care this week due to your staffing shortage, I am respectfully requesting a refund for the cost of 1 day of care. Director: I can make the adjustment this time, but going forward, it will be the same price regardless of days attended. After the two day hand-foot-mouth disease cancellation, I also sought a refund. We had already paid our $400 in advance, and so I expected a $160 for the two canceled days. Instead, she gave us a $100 refund. After I asked why, she responded to me: Director: We charge weekly, not daily. It is $400 per week for 5 days and $300 per week for 3 days. I disagreed. In my view, their last minute cancellation of two days was not equivalent to me voluntarily switching to their 3-days-a-week plan. After some back-and-forth on the phone, she wouldn't budge on the refund. Anyway, dear reader, I hope this was helpful.
