He convinced me to give it a try and, honestly, if it had been any other coach I never would have continued with sculling. iRow's founder and rowing coach Iva gave me both the confidence and the desire to continue with lessons. I have continued to row with Dave, being coached alongside of us by Iva in her trusty launch, or in a double with Coach Iva herself! I have learned so much and enjoyed myself at the same time. I know it's good exercise, but it feels like fun.

Dani starts with the basics of…read moreanimation, but also quickly gets the students using the latest animation software that the pros use. This helps the students see right away what's possible and it's motivating for them to be able to start making their animation come to life within just a few classes. Dani is patient and kind and her classes have a high teacher-to- student ratio so students that need one-on-one help can get it. Dani has become a mentor to my daughter which has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for her. The classes and camps are also very affordable when compared to the other options out there which are actually very few and far between. Dani's overall mission to develop the skills and talents of people on the autism spectrum so that they can become employable in the animation industry is pretty incredible.

We Run LA! I…read morerecently ran the Dodgers Foundation 10k event held at Dodgers Stadium. Bib Pick Up was at Dodgers Stadium on Saturday and also Sunday before the run. Parking was free for Saturday pick up. Only negative of this event was that bib pick up took 30 minutes when it should have taken less then 5. They us tablets that rely on internet and the internet reception at Dodgers Stadium sucks! So it took forever to load each screen for check in. You get 20% off the Dodgers store when you run! Event for the 10k started at 7 am. Parking is free at the stadium. It was not even free for the LA Marathon which started here! You run around Dodgers Stadium and some of the small streets that wrap around it. A few water stations, you get a banana and water at the end. Lots of free snacks and goodies before and after the race. I ran with my double jogger and it was fun! I love that they allow you to take your kids with you on the run. Warning, pushing a stroller up the Elysian Park hills is killer. My legs were dead the next day. Such a great fun event for a good cause. I definitely will do this again! Go Blue!

I first became aware of SCAQ while investigating a potential ocean swimming clinic for our beginner…read moretriathletes that were preparing for the Malibu 2XU triathlon in September. I was unable to attend the clinic that SCAQ put together as I was travelling abroad but heard great positive feedback from the team how the sessions at VSNO were very helpful. Coach Clay Evans shared with us a wealth of experience and keen insights on ocean swimming. I was offered to come tryout a workout once I returned. A few tips and video critiques on my stroke later, I was hooked. I am a very experienced swimmer - competed in high school and swum with a top national team back in the day - I was astonished at how the SCAQ team had managed to rekindle my love of swimming after many years of training but neglecting technique. Coach Chappie DeHaven was assigned to help our swimmers get comfortable swimming in those unpredictable Zuma beach waters. As an experienced LA lifeguard, Chappie knows the ins and outs of the tides and currents along the coastlines better than anyone. His experience, genuine concern and patience were crucial for our new members to gain the confidence they needed to complete the swim leg this year. I look forward to next season as we continue our quest to master the ocean and perfect our technique. SCAQ exceeds expectations and this crew knows how to have fun!

Anyone else get creepy vibes from Coach Clay? I recently moved to L.A. and wanted to meet new…read morepeople. I swam competitively in college so I decided to try SCAQ. Within a few weeks, Coach Clay invited me to his house nearby after a workout to meet his daughter and her husband who were my age and their baby. He said he thought we would get along. I thought it would be fine because he couldn't stop talking about his grandson and showing me pictures so I thought he was just a nice old grandpa. When I got there, it was only him. He kept saying that his daughter was "running late" from a art show or something like that and kept offering me some cocktail that he mixed up. I didn't touch it. He seemed pretty smashed by the time I got there anyway, red nose, slurring, you know the type. He kept pressuring me to drink and then started making inappropriate comments, like he was trying to pick up on me and showing me really suggestive artwork. He kept say we're all adults here. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I felt stupid. I know better. Needless to say, I never went back. Be careful Ladies. Protect yourself

DONT GO HERE!!! GO INSTEAD TO BEVERLY HILLS FENCING CLUB!!!…read more As a child who attended this fencing center, I did not have a positive experience. I felt intimidated, uncomfortable, and afraid to speak up about how I was being treated. Some interactions felt threatening to me and made the environment feel unwelcoming rather than supportive. Because of my experience, my family has taken the matter seriously and is pursuing legal action. I understand others may have different experiences, but this review reflects my own. I also noticed that the center appeared to have a much lower Google rating recently, and the rating seems to have changed significantly in a short period of time. I cannot speak to the reason for that, but it stood out to me as someone following the situation closely. I hope concerns raised by students and families are taken seriously and addressed appropriately
