In the Duluth area for work for a month I was looking for a gym and stumbled upon Northland Fitness…read moreonline. After reading the reviews regarding the gym and how responsive and engaged the owner was, I figured it would work. I sent an email with a few questions that was replied to within an hour. I went through the brief online registration process and Griffin set up my activated key fob to be left in a lockbox as I would be arriving after staffed hours. After using this gym for the past few days, I've realized it's the perfect balance between a hardcore gym where weights are being tossed around left and right, and a PF where you are very limited. The place is spotlessly clean, has a great selection of modern equipment, and the owner Griffin clearly understands that customer service/experience is key. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone.

Not a lot of weekend classes, so I'm paying for something that they don't really let me use. I will probably buy a membership somewhere else next month. Not impressed!! There are two studios. The yoga studio is pretty small. There were about 10 students and we were all pretty close together. The wasabi restaurant and the Rathskeller downstairs sometimes make distracting noises. Location is scary to access in the dark, as it's on Michigan St. parking is kind of challenging. Teachers are great and offer help with your practice when the class size is smaller, and have offered to help before and after class . Studio gets hot for the hot yoga classes,'but nowhere near as hot as better insulated facilities. There are showers and a locker room, and downtown location is very convenient!! Super affordable classes, great workout and experience, and even the other students are nice.

There is enough staff to run you through the equipment, and a good selection of classes. The 2 big issues I have are with the number and availability of classes. Classes often fill up so early(you can sign up the day before.) that if you get to the gym on Monday at 6:00a.m. to sign up for a Tuesday class-too bad. There seems to be a system that keeps the newer people out.Sad because there are a number of people who seem to want to teach and aren't allowed to. Also, classes don't seem to run much after 5 p.m. Second minor issue, the men's bathroom smells like 10 college kids pee'd on the floor.

Should be renamed to Planet Fix This!…read more It was a nice new gym but now is in rapid decline. Machines are left unrepaired and inoperable for weeks at a time. Vinyl on many of the machines is cracked, abrasive and worn. It seems like there is a tipping point before they affect repairs. I.E. no repairs until at least 10 machines need work. When they first opened, they had a number of issues with regard to cleanliness, employee engagement and safety, but things have definitely improved in that regard. The employees are far more engaged, friendly and hard working now. That being said, and because of the decline in equipment safety and operation, as a healthcare provider, I'm not sure that I can in good conscience recommend this place to my patients. I think with perpetuated effort and more frequent repairs, they could reach 4 or 5 stars.

He also was helpful on giving us the most logical pricing options. About the location: this is located downtown inside the adventure zone building. You will need to find parking and most likely pay to park either on the street or the lot. Looks are deceiving. It looks small from the outside but there was plenty of wall and a back area for bouldering. There was also a seating area upstairs. Along with Ben, Anthony helped us get set and both were very patient and friendly with our group. We had many first time climbers and they both encouraged them and made them feel comfortable. Thank you so much for the amazing experience. Many of our youth said it was a highlight of the weekend.

It is always a great experience for our 8th graders and I recommend anyone with middle schoolers, looking for a fun and challenging activity, to go to Vertical Endeavors.

We had our son at Hidden Valley for three years, and I never once had any negative experiences or…read moredissatisfaction with the quality of care for my child. In fact, at one point when we considered sending our son to a Montessori School (i.e. Many Rivers) as a possible different option for schooling, they were more than willing to write letters of recommendations on his behalf in support him going, even though they didn't necessarily want him to not be there with them. Long story short with that...we were not impressed with the well to do Montessori program in comparison to what Hidden Valley was already offering him and more. As a psychologist, I feel they handled behavioral issues with children as best as one could expect and yes, if there ever was an issue with a child's concerning behavior, they did what they had to do to help make sure other children (and teachers) were safe from inappropriate behavior. This will happen at any school or daycare. One of the more impressive things that they did that most parents don't realize is a super important thing to do, is to "catch them being good." This means, reinforce "good" behavior. So every day, it was a fun challenge for my son to see how many stickers he could get by picking up, or offering a friend a hand, or calming himself down in a difficult situation. Kudos for that! And yes, if public schools closed, so did they. Other schools or daycares in the area do the same. There is legitimate reasons why daycares or small schools do this (e.g., like SAFETY and not having the teachers or parents have to drive their children through dangerous weather). And its our responsibility as parents to know that you may have to stay home due to unforeseen circumstances, like weather or sickness. But they did the best they could to not have this be an issue, by extending the school an extra week to make up for missed days (i.e., without the extra cost), or they would have amazing substitute teachers come in for the day. In addition, they also brought in a music teacher every week for lessons, and would invite the Zoomobile or Firefighters to come and visit the children every year. There were themes every week that my son never got bored with and was always excited for! The teachers are kind and compassionate and want to see these kids succeed in all domains of development They even thoughtfully did amazing things for the kids over holidays, like hand-paint little figurines to look like each one of them or gift them their favorite book as a going away present. Needless to say, my son is now entering kindergarten able to write, read level one/two books, do addition, subtraction and multiplication. And even more importantly...be respectful to his friends and help others. I have no regrets sending my son there and would highly recommend this school to anyone.

My 4 year old son attended Hidden Valley Preschool from September 2016 through the end of May 2017…read more We found out about the school through a mom at the park shortly after moving to town from out of state. I will use a simple pro/con schedule with a summation at the end to help other parents choose if this school is right for their family. Pros: The classroom and school is clean, nicely appointed, and full of natural light. The curriculum changes every week which is very exciting for the children. Fresh toys and activities keep things interesting. There are many outdoor toys and activities for the children and a variety of hardtop and yard activities they enjoy. The families and children are very nice with many repeat families and continuity of students. Cons: This is a business that targets working families. You are required to pay for a full time slot for your child, Monday through Friday from 7:30-5:30. Proceed with caution if you have limited flexibility with your job, as this preschool will be closed for breaks corresponding with the Duluth Public Schools, which does mean two weeks midwinter at Christmas. Expect morning-of notifications throughout the year that school will be closed for snow, ice, power outages, or lack of staffing. Staffing: There are two part time teachers with the director on-call for backup. Be advised that most of the time there is only one adult present and 10+ children. If any crisis or disruption occurs, which with small children is expected, the sole teacher can quickly become overwhelmed. At this point, they will "hail Mary" the parent and director to immediately remove the child for the day, including for developmentally normal misbehavior's which do not include bodily harm to other students. ex. In our case, this amounted to phone calls to leave work and immediately remove our son for his threats to stand on the lunch table three times during the spring. With only 7 days of PTO for the calendar year, you can imagine this was highly inconvenient. Communication can be spotty. The director is always available to be reached by phone or email, but when behavior problems occur, there is very little follow through to troubleshoot in person with parents and all teachers present a new plan for behavior management. Overall assessment: Is this daycare terrible? No, far from it. But it is a home based daycare that is charging the going rate for established centers, but does not provide the accountability and reliability of a center. My neurotypical 4 year old was discussed like he was an out of control maniac. Our contract was terminated without fanfare 1 week before the end of the school year for his "unmanageable behavior." It seems poor business form to terminate a contract one week before the end of the year, so the termination was most likely in retaliation for a private facebook status I posted expressing my frustration with the frequently unreliable care, in which I never mentioned or alluded to the name of the business. The pettiness of uninviting a 4 year old from the end of year preschool graduation party one week prior is the cherry on top of a relationship which has been souring ever since the preschool staff caught wind we would not be re-enrolling and instead starting our son in kindergarten. Some families seem to love this school, but I am glad to see our sons time there in the rear view mirror. FYI: A fellow parent tipped me off that reviewers who posted the end of June 2017 were offered compensation in exchange for their positive reviews.
