I was referred from a friend at work after pulling my back out twice in a row once installing a car battery and the other picking up a large box of cat litter. That was it, sick and tired of being out of shape. I wrestled in high school and since graduating I've been wanting to train in Jiu Jitsu. During the onboarding Coach Robert asked me for a fitness goal Jiu Jitsu was the goal I've had for over 7 years. I have now been training at Gracie Largo for 5 months and performing exceedingly well with my gas tank increasing every week. Elevate not only supported me in strengthening my back and losing weight but also supported me in pursuing my long term goals. I even ran into someone in public who said Elevate changed his life and I can't disagree. This is a high quality family owned business and I recommend in passing at every opportunity. I also feel Coach Robert is a highly talented personal trainer who never once was annoyed at my 1 million "whys" and if he didn't know the answer he would do research and share his findings with me. Elevate always treats the root cause and never fails to educate.

The specific classes targeting the different muscle groups were excellent. Intense workouts (or you could take it easier if you wish) with wonderful targeted exercises. They also had a ton of classes throughout the day. I speak in the past tense only because I'm almost positive this place closed down, unfortunately.

I love Circuit & Triple Threat ..stations is ok but I definitely don't burn as many calories as the other formats. You are given a heart rate monitor so you can track your progress and after class you get a breakdown of your heart rate throughout class. This really motivates you to push yourself!!! The instructors are great at providing demonstrations and pushing you to do your best. The only downside is it took a few weeks of going there before anyone explained the heart rate monitor and how to use it to achieve your goals. Other than that I really recommend coming here if you want a good sweat session!

Our experience at Highland Park Recreation Center was mixed. There were staff members we genuinely…read moreappreciated, but overall, this was not the right fit for our son. One of the biggest concerns was that the program seemed to expect children to simply comply rather than meet them where they were developmentally. Children who need extra guidance, emotional support, or individualized approaches may struggle here. Our son's classroom had approximately 15 children with a lead teacher and an assistant, which seemed like it should have allowed for more individualized attention, but that wasn't our experience. The quality of care also depended heavily on which teacher was present. Our son did much better with the morning lead teacher, who built a positive relationship with both our family and our son. We noticed a significant difference in his confidence and behavior under her care. Unfortunately, our experience with the afternoon teacher was very different. Nearly every pickup involved a list of problems or corrections. Rather than collaborating with us on strategies that worked for our child, it often felt like we were being lectured. We rarely felt that anyone was interested in asking what was successful at home or how we could work together. Communication from administration was also disappointing. There were times when it was difficult to reach the director, and concerns did not always feel acknowledged. At one point, I was spoken to disrespectfully in front of administration without meaningful intervention. That left me feeling anxious about bringing my son each day instead of confident that we were partnering with the school. As parents, we spent a great deal of time building our son's confidence at home. Unfortunately, we often felt that the environment at the center undermined those efforts instead of reinforcing them. Rather than focusing on prevention and helping children succeed, it sometimes felt like the emphasis was on correcting behavior after problems occurred. For example, recurring conflicts between certain children continued despite opportunities to separate them proactively. To be fair, there were positives. The morning teacher was caring, communicative, and made a noticeable difference in our son's experience. We also understand that recreation center programs are different from private preschools. If you're looking for reliable childcare, this program may meet your needs. However, if you're looking for a preschool environment that emphasizes emotional support, individualized guidance, and strong collaboration with parents--particularly if your child has ADHD, AuDHD, sensory needs, or simply needs more patience--I would encourage you to ask detailed questions before enrolling. This review reflects our family's personal experience, and ultimately we chose a different educational environment that we believe is a better fit for our son.

My company hosted an event here and the staff was very accommodating. Our main contact was Erin and she was so helpful and knowledgeable.

Safety was huge for this community center too, they went the extra mile to insure that our participants would be safe during their open water experience. It would be great to have another event here! Only downside is sand flies ! I'm paying the price with SOOOO MANY BITES. But I realize they are part of the natural habitat so I'm still giving them 5 stars!

We saw more birds than people as I think most folks just go to the beach. This park includes three distinct environments... beach, freshwater marshes and forest all very close to each other, with easy-to-follow unmarked trails and clean public bathrooms. We walked and explored and enjoyed for several hours, seeing osprey with young chicks, a pileated woodpecker, herons, ducks, a variety of stunning warblers, a loggerhead shrike and more! We also saw a variety of native butterflies and plants/trees/flowers, so I contributed those identifications since that's more my area of expertise. I was thrilled to see, for the first time in my life, the elusive Blue-Winged Warbler! Score! While I didn't obtain a photo, the sighting was definite and confirmed by my friend / guide / birding expert! Life is great when a small group of friends explore a beautiful and serene park, taking our time to really take it all in and as a bonus, I am able to add to my growing bird life list.
