When my child first started attending in 2023, this center was still operating as Smart Kids, and…read moreour experience was excellent. The teachers were caring, communication was strong, and the leadership team was responsive whenever concerns arose. Unfortunately, after the transition to Learning Jungle, our experience changed significantly. Over time, we experienced frequent turnover among teachers, directors, and assistant directors. In one of my child's classroom alone, there were nearly ten teacher changes during our time there. The lack of consistency made it difficult for children and parents alike, and communication became increasingly inconsistent. My child has documented food allergies, and there were multiple occasions when she was given food she was allergic to despite having an emergency action plan on file and it was not always followed. This was very concerning as a parent. The event that ultimately led us to leave occurred when my child reported being hurt at school by a teacher. I contacted DSS, and both DSS and Learning Jungle later confirmed that video footage showed two staff members physically mishandling my child. While that was upsetting on its own, I was equally disappointed by the response from leadership. My concerns were raised not only with the center director but also with regional and corporate leadership. I did not feel my questions were adequately addressed, and I left those conversations without confidence that my concerns were being taken seriously. There are still some caring teachers at this center, and I appreciate those who positively impacted my child's life. However, based on our experience with staff turnover, leadership instability, allergy-related concerns, and the handling of a serious safety issue, I cannot recommend this facility. I encourage parents to review publicly available reports and conduct their own research before enrolling their child.

It all started with an interview with the kids (ages 9 & 15) to see if they would like it. They enjoyed the free private lesson. The instructor was CLEAR in saying that it would take time and he CLEARLY ASKED if we wanted to make the commitment. We signed a contract because we were clear about the commitment were making to the school in order to achieve our goals. In a month I've lost 10 lbs and I feel great! We love it and are here to stay!

I already having trouble saying "no" to BP's from across the city. haha. I had my first class with Kate, and the other member that signed up cancelled, so it was like a little private session! The studio is clean and organized. There isn't a shower, but there is a restroom and changing room for freshening up. There's a HUGE window on the one side of the studio, at first I thought that people could see in - while I looked like a clumsy maniac on the machines, but you can't really see in from the road, don't fret. Let's talk about these machines. They are called mega-formers, and they're ridiculous. Every bit of my being shakes just looking at these things (it's the same type of machine used at HSM Core). The workout is 50 mins of sweat dripping, core focused, maddness. I loved it. Some of the transitions are fast, but do able, and you can really go at your own pace. I wish all the luck in the world to this studio! I won a month free on Instagram, so I'll definitely be back and they have all of these incentive programs too - who doesn't like a strong core and a discount!?! I'll post pictures soon!

CrossFit Cornelius is a local family owned and operated business. The owners, Mike and Kristin,…read moreboth develop the programming themselves utilizing their years of health and fitness experience. They have two other primary CrossFit coaches, Michelle and Robert, who are fantastic! The different exercises are clearly explained and demonstrated before getting started. Importantly, the coaches watch each athlete and make any suggestions to do the movement correctly and safely. I'm not one of the young guys crushing the workouts with massive weights. Despite that, I never felt an outsider or less important than the others. The other athletes and coaches are very inclusive. The coaches take the time to listen and alter the workouts to accommodate any of your limitations - such as low back pain in my case. You will not regret dropping in and taking a class at CrossFit Cornelius.

Did I mention, that I only work out to support my eating habits?…read more But seriously... With all of the eating that I do and the travel that I do for work, I have to make sure to work out. My main gym in the local YMCA but whenever the Y is closed for holiday, or a snow day, or I just need to do something different... Crossfit Cornelius is where it is at. I have dropped into many Crossfit facilities in the last couple of years and C2 has most people beat by far. The coaches are informative and instructional as needed. Most members have been at it long enough and don't need a whole lot of coaching, but that doesn't stop each coach from helping every athlete to perfect their skills and form. Mike and Kristin, the owners, are phenomenal people as well. They invited me to their gym when they were training out of their garage. I work part-time at the YMCA and get a free membership there so I can't justify paying for separate training... YET. Their drop-in rates can't really be beat... $15 a visit and you get some exceptional training/coaching. I will continue my habit of dropping in from time to time with these fine folks.

I have been amazed at how much progress she achieved every week. My daughter loves her instructor, Ms Sceinowai. She is very knowledgeable and patient art instructor and knows how to communicate with sassy girls. I highly recommend this place to anyone.
