I asked Brian about their cleaning procedures after two of my sons got impentigo several months…read moreapart. Brian claimed that one of my sons got it from a tournament over 20 days prior to my son showing any signs of impentigo... impentigo takes 4-10 days to manifest after exposure... my other son has never competed in a tournament. This gym is the only place they both could have gotten it. I asked again about their cleaning procedures and he still will not answer. The place is visably dirty with caked on dust where the display apparel. It looks like they are using packing tape instead of mat tape and that tape is filthy. All red flags. Oh! They also have a ridiculous superstition about not washing belts... no wonder skin infections thrive in this biohazard. Please do not support a business that doesn't take simple standard cleaning steps to protect you and will not duscl9se those steps to patrons. They are now being investigated by the health department. Aside from that, I seriously question the value of their instruction. I have seen 5 year old soccer practices run by volunteer parent coaches that appeard to be more organized than their belting ceremony...a ceeremony that should be routine... the staff did not seem to know what they were doing and the students seem to be out of control.

The machines are all brand new which sucks because a setting of "10" on a rowing machine in LA Fitness is like an "8" on a brand new machine, which means when you set it to "10" you're in for a real surprise on how hard you've got to pull. Heh. I'm just joking about it "sucking" on that last statement. Brand new equipment is awesome. Bottom line is this: if you're experienced in fitness, new to cross fit, beginning your fitness journey, or anywhere in that gamut, Fate's Forge CrossFit can accommodate you.

Best service ever, the owner is the friendliest guy you will ever meet! Goes over and beyond and is…read moresuper courteous as well as helpful. Right from the start he shows you a few different weights, the business is ran from his home, which has a big lot where you can comfortably try out them out. Provides tips and is very knowledgeable about what size/weight is best for the different exercises that can be performed. He delivers also, after a certain radius he charges a tiny fee per mile, but it's well worth it if you don't have the vehicle to load it into. He has real huge monster ones too, (think 600lbs) so you're bound to find something. Works with your needs and schedule, is punctual and respectful. Awesome communication, we really can't say enough positive things about our experience. Highly recommended.

We first joined ACE Taekwondo in Yorkville back in February 2021, when my daughter--then in the…read moremidst of a full-blown Naruto obsession--begged to become a "ninja". To be honest, I was hesitant at first. My daughter had tried T-ball previously and lost interest quickly, and I worried Taekwondo would be another short-lived hobby. The commitment felt long, and while the cost was reasonable for area martial arts classes, it felt like a risk if she didn't stick with it. On top of that, we were still deep in the pandemic: my daughter wore a mask to every class, and I waited outside in the car. But she loved it. Despite all the challenges, she kept showing up to class, excited and engaged. As Covid restrictions lifted, I started coming inside to watch occasionally, but mostly kept to myself--I'm not much of a "people person." Still, as the months turned into years and my daughter worked her way toward her black belt, I realized this wasn't a passing phase. Her dedication inspired me. Eventually, I started bringing my toddler to the Toddler classes and got to know Master, Instructor White, and the other instructors. When my daughter earned her deputy belt and began preparing for her black belt test, I decided to join her on the mat. I signed up for Taekwondo and, being an overachiever, added Hapkido too! A year later, my daughter and I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to South Korea with ACE for an international tournament and cultural trip. It was amazing to share this experience--and our training journey--together. If we stay on track, my daughter will earn her 2nd Dan (2nd degree black belt) on the same day I receive my 1st black belt. I can't think of a better milestone to share as a family. Now, my 4-year-old is also a Tiny Tiger at ACE. The instructors are wonderful, and the kids we've met through ACE are some of the kindest, most respectful kids I've ever known. They truly embody the tenets of Taekwondo, and ACE is helping shape future leaders in our community. I am so proud to be part of the ACE family. If you're looking for a place where your child--and your whole family--can grow in confidence, discipline, and community, I highly recommend checking out ACE Taekwondo!

Hm...convenient timing. so then my mom posted it and it just naturally disappeared. So I'll share it everywhere else that I can. DO NOT ATTEND ASPIRE GYMNASTICS. I attended Aspire gymnastics academy (Joliet) growing up and have ALWAYS recommended and loved these people and this gym. I went there for YEARS. After having some personal issues and I needed to speak to the owner about dropping classes for the next month (my email was sent less then 24 hours after the drop date). I repeatedly apologized for the inconvenience and was explaining how we had all intentions of coming back in the future. That I simply received the email a day after and replied immediately upon receiving it, and apologized for receiving it a day late somehow as i also had gotten a new phone and this was happening with other things also. I was screamed at, disrespected, and after she agreed to drop the class, she then took that back and refused to even continue the phone call. Said she was flagging my account for being problematic and nearly hung up on me. She began yelling and downplaying our personal issues to being my fault. At one point she literally told me to stop talking. I have never been so disappointed by a place I have repeatedly praised to family, friends, and more in the past. Thankfully, I recorded the entire call. Apparently, I'll be receiving a call back tomorrow and hopefully it's from someone more professional. 10/26/2022: Aspire Gymnastics couldn't even give me that call back I was promised. Got a great email about how "she tried to reason with me" last time I checked business owners don't yell, scream, and blatantly disrespect their customers. DO NOT ATTEND ASPIRE.
