I love the flexibility! I have my son in so many sports and activities after school that it's a pain to have to call the company to switch days or having to stop going because of scheduling. They make it easy for our busy lives. What I also love is that they respond via text if you prefer it.

*BUYER BEWARE* be ready to pay double if you cancel!!!…read more You have to remember one thing, even though this is about your "kids" this is really a business and never forget that they are here to make money at the end of the day. My wife and I are coming into some financial issues and we asked for a cancellation, I came in person to cancel they told us that we had to email in order to do a cancellation before our next billing cycle when I asked for a cancellation in person. The response we got we have to wait 60 days two months in order to cancel our membership. That doesn't sound reasonable at all not even apartments make you wait that long. "Fair" business practices is no more than 30 days notice? But 60?!? That's a money grab and a shady business practice in my opinion. Originally I wanted to put us on hold for a few months but now I know we will never be back again. It's all about the principal. At the end of the day again it's a business and they're here to make money, not change lives. MONEY IS KING!!!!! I would highly reconsider taking your child or anyone you know elsewhere my biggest regret is signing up with them in the first place. Shame on you for shady business practices!

This location is owned by the same owners as GB Upland. If your goal is just to do jiu-jitsu for…read morefitness, this school may work fine. The main issue is the curriculum. It's very basic, standardized, and repeated year-round. This appears intentional. Regular classes teach only the minimum, while techniques outside the posted curriculum are pushed into paid private lessons. Because of this, most students are trained as hobbyists. Extra instruction or advanced opportunities often depend on personal relationships rather than a structured development path. The curriculum is designed for retention, not depth, and this model is consistent across Gracie Barra schools. The gap becomes clear when students compete or train outside the Gracie Barra environment. While internal GB tournaments create an even playing field, they can give a false sense of progress. When students compete outside of GB or train at another academy against the same rank the difference in technical depth, adaptability, and exposure is often very noticeable. Even the instructors don't train the same curriculum as regular students, which speaks to how limited it is. Compared to other academies that teach more as part of regular training (without extra fees), this approach leaves students less prepared overall.

We went to this water park for the first time because it's a smaller water park and much closer for…read moreus than the other options. It's a cute little place for kids with a lazy river, three slides, a toddler area, and a wave area. I was excited to find somewhere that was a little more convenient and purchased 3 season passes. Unfortunately, we were only able to use the passes twice. When I originally asked the girls working at the front desk about the schedule, I was told that the park would be open Monday through Friday through the end of August. Based on that information, I felt comfortable purchasing the season passes because I knew my other kids would be coming back from vacation and we would have plenty of opportunities to use them. That ended up not being the case. The park was closed multiple times for private events, and then the schedule changed. I eventually called to check whether they were open and got a voicemail saying that they would now only be open on weekends until Labor Day. I emailed the park because I was disappointed and explained the situation. Unfortunately, I didn't feel like they were very helpful. I was basically told that the calendar had been posted since the beginning of summer and that it was my responsibility to check it. The problem is, I didn't even know there was a calendar to check. I was given information directly by the employees at the front desk that the park would be open Monday through Friday through the end of August. If someone had told me, "Our schedule can change, so please check our online calendar before purchasing," I absolutely would have done that. In fact, if I had known the actual schedule, I probably wouldn't have purchased the season passes in the first place. Because of the closures, private events, and schedule changes, I was only able to use my pass twice and couldn't use it when my other kids returned from vacation, which was the whole reason I purchased the passes. I think it's a cute little water park and could be a fun option for younger kids, especially if you're looking for something smaller than the big water parks. But unfortunately, the way this was handled left a really bad taste in my mouth. I completely understand that schedules can change and private events happen. What I don't think is fair is telling customers one thing when they're purchasing passes and then essentially telling them afterward that they should have known to check a calendar they weren't aware existed. I'm sure three season passes aren't going to make or break the business, but as a customer, I definitely feel like I got screwed over for simply trusting the information I was given by the employees.

Communication with Christi was always professional, friendly, and constructive. Our swim instructor, Ryan, did an outstanding job. He was patient, encouraging, and helped Hazel build both her skills and her confidence in the water. Whenever Ryan wasn't available, Tiff stepped in and did a fantastic job as well, ensuring the same high standard of instruction. One piece of advice we received from the AquaticZone team was to let Hazel swim without floaties at all times. We followed that recommendation consistently, and she made remarkable progress in a very short time. Practicing this way helped her develop strong water confidence and independence. Our main goal was for our daughter to become a confident swimmer--not to make things easier for us at pool parties or family outings. We were committed to supporting her throughout the learning process, and the guidance we received from AquaticZone played a huge role in her success. We highly recommend AquaticZone to anyone looking for a professional, supportive, and effective swim school.

Like the first day of going to any school, I was worried and intimidated, but when I got there, everyone was so welcoming, it quickly put my worries at ease. Instead of being slaughtered, all the higher belts encouraged and guided me through the techniques. Everyone is so supportive through it all that you don't want to give up. One of the few schools where you'll be taught by three awesome black belts (Professor Rafael, Professor Bryan, & Professor Derek). FYI: I WAS NOT PAID OR COMPENSATED TO SAY NICE THINGS ABOUT THEM. QUITE THE OPPOSITE IN PERSON. LOL DON'T WANT TO INFLATE HEADS AND EGOS. HAHAHA Each with their own unique style that will help you develop your own. Jiu Jitsu is a great form of self defense, work out (THINK SUMMER BOD READY), and it's been a great way for me to relieve stress from everyday life. They have become a second family and have met amazing people whom I love as friends. The academy is big and spacious.

Class sizes are roughly anywhere from 12-20 students and there is plenty of mat space so you're not constantly bumping into people during drills. Prices are fair and there are plenty of available classes throughout the week. Each class is an hour long, in which we work on conditioning, footwork drills, combative strikes, scenario run-throughs, defense, chokes, and so much more.

What I appreciate most is how supportive the environment is. it feels personal, not intimidating. My personal training sessions with Casey have been amazing. The level of attention, encouragement, and care she puts into every session makes you feel seen and supported. She truly listens to your goals and adjusts workouts to meet your needs, which has made such a difference in my confidence and consistency. On top of that, personal training is very affordable for the quality and intention you receive. If you're looking for a gym that genuinely cares about you, challenges you, and helps you grow physically and mentally, this is the place.

Their workouts are great for all skill levels (beginner to advanced), as you can modify it as needed. Also, the most important thing is you never get bored. And a big plus is thr gym is super clean and cared for. They have multiple daily times that you can choose from so there are no excuses. Since joining I have lost 26 pounds and almost at my goal weight! I love that they also have the ability to connect a myzone and it shows up on the main tv so you can see how hard you're actually working. The owners are super amazing as well as the community they have built. Everyone is supportive and roots for one another's successes. I felt so fortunate to have found them.
