Bravo!

Took level 1 development course with CMS for rock climbing. My guide was Jason Antin, absolutely…read moreamazing experience. The program is well structured and professionally run. Communication was fast and i had zero issues with anything in the program. Jason is absolutely incredible, Humongous knowledge base but beyond that he has a massive amount of experience and is an incredible teacher. Very detail and safety oriented. I did my first 2 multi pitch climbs with him and felt extremely prepared before setting off on the climbs. Jason kept me safe the whole way and coached and thought throughout. I am taking level 2 with them in a couple of days and have no doubt that will be a 10 start experience. My skill level and knowledge base has increased exponentially. I can't recommend CMS and Jason Antin highly enough. If you have an interest in anything outdoor do yourself a favor and take a course with CMS. The best experience hiring a guide i have ever had.

This was a surprisingly decent hostel, and one of the only affordable places I found in Estes park…read morein September! I was able to book a bed in a co-ed shared dorm for like $80 that night and it was pretty decent. They have a nice big parking lot and when I arrived one of the staff came from a nearby cabin and helped me move my bags inside. They have clear instructions about everything inside, it was a smooth check in and checkout. I would def stay again - it was perfect as a single night after a long day of hiking in the national park, and an early morning again hiking in the national park the next day. Decently clean too, and very homely :)

Having experience, trust and fun in a guide company is really important. You want them to show you…read morethings that you haven't seen before, and lead you to places you might not have found on your own. You also want to see through their guiding how your safety and fun experience is their first priority. Ryan and Matt did an excellent job of all of this. They also took the time to explain about the terrain, the environment and fun trivia to keep the hike interesting. Having a little fondue and cider at the top of the hike was a neat touch as well. They were especially helpful in making sure that I was ok during my Asthma attack, and held up the pace when I struggled on the last climb. These guys were amazing guides and we would definitely use them and recommend them anytime.

KMAC is amazing! I had no idea what a Via Ferrata was, so I was terrified when I visited KMAC and…read moresaw photos. The team were all super friendly and made the process of getting ready super simple. After a short drive, we arrived at the camp where we began the hike to get our gear. The hike up was fairly easy and pretty short. Once at the cabin, maybe 3/4 of the way up, everyone was given their gear after a thorough demonstration of how everything works. Very reassuring! The last leg of the hike was a more intense, but very doable. About 35-40 total hike time to the start of the Via Feratta. It was intimidating staring at the mountain, but TJ was able to make things a lot lighter by joking around. Without TJ and his calm and supporting energy, I would've never been able to complete the Via Ferrata. Overall, the Via Ferrata was a lot of fun. It was no where near how difficult I thought it would be. If anyone is conceding doing this challenge, do it! You won't regret it.

I found Kate and LBL nearly a year ago when I was in a desperate situation and ready to give up on…read morelife. Waiting for a serious surgery I was looking for a community that could inspire me to hold faith for a better life. Kate welcomed me into the community with open arms and gave me the option of trading services for classes because I was unable to work and had little income at the time. I started by attending yin yoga classes and being a spectator at aerial events... Watching what others were able to achieve gave me the strength and support I needed to mentally and physically make it through a very trying time until I was able to have the surgery I'd been waiting for. After surgery I went back to classes and worked my way back to fully enjoy my body and life again. Attending classes, events and volunteering at Live Beyond Limit as well as my relationship with Kate took me in one year from not being able to see my self worth or recognize much reason for continuing my then difficult life to fully embracing and embodying the wonderfu, dynamic and successful person that I am and have always been. There are few words that can express my profound gratitude for this studio, the peace, joy, acceptance and love that is freely given by the teachers, performers, students, Kate and the community she facilitates. Wherever you are in your journey through life, trauma, recovery or simply looking for new avenues of self expression and evolution Kate and the team at Live Beyond Limit are likely to be the best solution for meeting you where you're at and giving you a path to the next level.

Kate Laviolette is one of the most greediest peopoe I've ever met. Also, she never paid me for what…read moremy small fox painting had sold for. She held onto it for me because I didn't have anywhere to put it since I was sleeping out of my car at the time. She said someone bought it, but she never paid me for it, so who knows what happened. A few years ago, I would regularly go to classes and it was enjoyable. There were a couple experiences where it gave me a uncomfortable feeling about her. We did a hiking session together. Nobody showed up but me, so she and I went. I thought it was nice, but noticed that when she wanted to take a picture with me, it was just for her socials so her image would look good. Then not too long after that, there was a art event at the studio which I paid and went to. I figured it was just an art show but there was more to it. At the time, I struggled a lot more when it came to crowds. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone, have fun, and to see what it was all about. I brought my sketch book to draw and I also joined in the audience to watch the aerial show (I think it was) even though I thought it was an art show. I got intense anxiety and overwhelm (probably from the energy from being in a crowd or certain people), so I left and cried in the car. I had texted Kate and told her what happened, but she didn't care. Kept my money too. Was only there for 15 or 20 minutes. So overall, these experiences showed me how greedy and fake she was. I start going back in November because I'm getting back into shape and I wanted to try the aerial classes again, but I can't afford very much, so I go with the 5 class plan for $59. My mom is the one that even helped me and I told her that. I completed the classes (except for one which I was not feeling that day, but I already showed up, so no sense in trying to get another class). I was not planning on going again (a couple of people including an instructor found that out by asking me questions) because I wanted to continue at a gym since my main focus ended up being working out/exercising. The gym is what is beneficial for me. I felt aerial yoga wasn't. Besides this reason, I didn't feel fully welcome and the instructors were not patient (my coordination is poor) except for one, but I forgot her name, I'm sorry. I came to find this past Tuesday night that my account was charged by the studio and my account was at 97 cents. I texted Kate personally. You can see the whole conversation plus more in the screenshot photos for yourselves. Which includes her trying to offer a partial refund through Venmo which is outside of her business. If she can offer that, then she could've just given me my refund. Acted fake by throwing in "we've enjoyed having you here" to again be careful as a business owner and her reputation. I emailed her because I kept checking my account on the studio website, since it kept saying my plan wasn't canceled yet and it had already been a whole day. So I told her to close my account and to refund me, or I'm going to report her and THEN she finally decided to cancel it. She also told me she would refund my original payment, but she only did a partial refund of $38 out of $59. She lied and is clearly greedy. Making it into a whole complex mess, when it couldve just been played out smoothly. She blocked me after I told her to not respond back to my text or she did after my email, I'm not sure, but I'll be spreading all this information around everywhere. I made a post about it on my Facebook and someone mentioned that they've heard of this situation happening a lot at this studio and what happened to one of their clients, so that didn't surprise me.

I'm only giving Estes Park Yoga five stars, because Yelp won't let me give them ten stars!! My…read morebuddy and his fiancé scheduled a destination wedding in Estes Park. A bunch of us decided to stretch the trip into a weeklong vacation. I figured I would find a local studio to take a couple of classes. Back home, I practice at a hot power Yoga studio. I wasn't sure what to expect from a more traditional Yoga studio like Estes Park Yoga, but I figured I would check it out. It was so great, I ended up taking five classes!! I would have taken a sixth class, but I would have been late for my flight home. My first class was with Kerry, the owner of the studio. She's a very warm and welcoming instructor. She gives plenty of cues, and focuses on proper posture. We held poses much longer than I expected. It was amazing! In hot power yoga, we work on moving through the poses and building heat. Estes Park Yoga is different than what I am used to, but it's different in a good way! I also had classes with Rachel, Diana, and Elizabeth. They were all great too! Again, very warm and welcoming, holding poses longer, and a lot of focus on proper posture. I felt great after every class. It was exactly what I needed for sitting on a cramped flight, hiking around the Rockies, and sleeping in a hotel bed And then there is Adrienne! Adrienne has the best Yoga story I have ever heard. Are you unsure if Yoga is for you? Stop by the studio, take one of her classes, and chat with her. Fifteen years ago, she broke her L1 and L2 vertebrae in a snowboarding accident. Doctors told her she would be paralyzed from the waist down, and in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. She powered through with Yoga. She attended 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in a wheelchair and full body cast. After a few months, she was walking around again. You would NEVER know that she was once paralyzed. She exhibits zero signs of any physical damage. These days when she's not practicing Yoga, she rock climbs, and chases her kids around. She's also a phenomenal instructor. I'm so happy she shared her story with me. If she can do it, you do it! Make the trip to Estes Park to visit this studio!! I'll be back again soon (I hope).
