Curt, Andrew, and others have worked hard to teach these kids how to utilize what they learn in the real world. They are moving to Jonesborough later this month. If you are looking at something similar for your kids, this is a great place for them to go. They make the learning fun.

Nice local health club for the whole family…read more Not the nicest, newest machines, but very adequate. There are three different workout rooms for equipment: one on the ground level and two more on the second floor. Either walk upstairs or take the elevator. They have several rooms each designated for different classes: yoga, boxing, line dancing, etc. No need to sign up or pay extra for offered classes. Just show up on time and enjoy. Be sure to download the Bristol YMCA app on your phone or check online for the classes offered and what day and time. There is also an indoor pool for swim lessons and exercise. Clean facility with friendly staff. We are very impressed.

Speaking from experience of being a Lifetime Fitness member for over 5 years this is a good…read morebargain. The equipment is in good shape (except for some of the machines that use free weights) and there is a lot of things to do. I go daily for cardio and weight lifting; the treadmills always connect to my Apple Watch (at Lifetime this rarely happened) and their nautilus room is very nice with everything I need. Two or three times a week we attend a line dancing class and really enjoy that time. They also have a MMA training area, which I have not used, that people rave about. Overall, nothing but positives to say, especially for the cost.

My dad found this place, and we went for a two our ride in Cherokee. I have ridden before, but not in decades. My wife has ridden a few times, her sister had never ridden. So with that set up, here is our experience. They were ready for us at our reserved time, signed us up quick, and got us to the start location. Horses were healthy and easy going, good for beginners. Ride was nice. Guide was friendly. Some extra things we wanted to do were accommodated. In short: they do what they promise, professionally. Highly recommended.

I have visited this gym a few times while visiting this area due to my job. I have no complaints…read morewhatsoever about this particular gym. The staff is nice, the weights are in pretty good shape, the machines look pretty new, and it has everything that you would want to work out. Not to mention, it has a few racquetball courts, a pool, locker rooms, and even a basketball hoop. I'm not sure of the price and that is something to call about. Luckily, I get in for only $5 due to my profession. Overall, it's great.

This chain of gyms was bought out by Lifestyle Fitness…read more That's when things started going down the drain. I have been treated rudely several times by the employees. Either they are not trained properly or they follow the owners' directions (even worse). The employees (and probably the owners) know absolutely nothing about gym etiquette. Seems like they just bought this business w/o a clue of what a gym should be like to have satisfied customers. First of all, I have never heard of a gym opening at 10 o'clock, same time that the first class starts! Not even the courtesy of opening few minutes earlier to get the people in so they can do some warm up and take care of various business, like getting dressed!! They used to close at 8:30 M-Th (the earliest of any gym I've been), now they close at 7!! Incredible, never heard of such a thing. Oh, okay they sell 24-7 cards. So, I guess you're kind of steered that direction. That's pretty crappy. The monthly fee is as high as I've paid anywhere else. But now, I've not seen that monthly charge reduced to compensate for the shorter hours. They have all kinds of rules posted around the gym. You can actually walk around just to look at all the signs to entertain yourself (done that myself few times). And the funny (?) thing is that their own trainers don't follow them!! On two occasions I personally saw a woman trainer load the leg press with 4 45-lb plates per side and just leave it there ... for the next one to unload. I've been called a "ghost" by one of those working at the desk. I've been asked "to leave with me" by a woman at the desk when it was approaching 5 min. to closing. The same one that, when I pointed at the sign showing closing time half hour later, called her boss to complain because she would have gotten stuck there another 30 min. They immediately got rid of that sign and put a new one up. Every gym I've been, there is a courtesy of giving people 5/10 extra minutes to complete their workout. Don't expect that here!! Part of a gym's etiquette is to not bother someone while he is training. Don't expect that here!! I have been interrupted few times and once when I actually was under the weights! I see my review is getting pretty long. More on next installment.
