Opted to give whetstone a second try. Not because we are interested in becoming members or coming…read morehere regularly, just wanted to try out something different from our norm. Pros : -Climbing options were good. There are a large variety of ropes to choose from. -There are 4 autobelay options I believe -There is also a lead climbing area. -Of course there is also a bouldering area which seemed like quite a few choices, but they were busy working on it today so there was not much of it open to use. -They have some sinks out by the climbing wall so you can go wash your hands and not have to take off all your gear in order to wash your hands. Cons: -Price! holy smokes $46 for me and my daughter climb for 2 hours. Yikes!!! this is more than i pay for my gym membership for my entire family for a month......... That does not include gear rental either as we have our own so we didn't need any of theirs. If you want or need gear it will be more. -You will need to fill out the waiver upon entering not a big deal but their ipad system makes it a little tough to get through. -If you want to do more than bouldering you will need to take a test for top rope and also watch a video for autobelay. Okay fairly standard. However, they failed to mention until after I paid that 1. they were working on the bouldering wall so not much available there. 2. The guy couldn't leave the front desk and no one else was available so can't do the auto belay training either If a good chunk of things are not going to be an option and obviously we are not a regular maybe make sure you let people know BEFORE they pay. We did do the top ropes test. It will take between 5-15 minutes depending on you. I just felt jipped because we did not have the option of using anything and I paid what I felt like was a LOT of money! They could have at least told me upfront that hey you wont be able to use the auto belay and a lot of our bouldering is tore up so probably can't use a lot of that either. I may have made a different decision and went elsewhere. Anyhow. I guess my impression from last time 2 years ago about to this time was not much different.

Whetstone Climbing is a new climbing gym in the Fort Collins/Loveland area. The facilities are…read moremodern and there is a very ample amount of space for sport climbing, bouldering, and working out. I very much enjoyed my experience at Whetstone and I thought the service and amenities were good. The overall setting was decent. Expect slightly stiffer ratings than other gyms in town but still not overly so. One slight concern I had if I were a regular would be the route turnover- it did not seem to be the same as Ascent, the other gym in town and routes stayed up a bit longer. I think the setting at Ascent is maybe a little better but it's hard to really tell given I only climbed 8 sport routes here vs. years at Ascent. The rates seem fair. $17 for a day pass is cheaper than superior gyms down in Denver. Membership rates seem about the same as Ascent and if I were living in Fort Collins, I'd likely just go to whichever gym was closer to where I lived. The community is friendly and I thought the idea of a bar/coffee area is smart. Definitely hope that Whetstone succeeds as a gym.

Additionally, she has a very calming way about her to end the class in a way that lets you leave all of your troubles behind.

I've been going into the Chelson Center for about six weeks now. I have a electric trike, I was…read moregiven permission to plug the electric trike in in the lobby area of the Chelson Center when I first got my 10 time pass. So I had been parking my bike near the vending machines in the lobby area because I was given permission to plug my electric trike in at that area. So yesterday, which I guess was July 15 maybe anyway so I arrive and there's this new person at the reception area a woman I had never seen before. She glare at me as I am pushing my electric trike into the lobby and plugging it in within five minutes. This male employee approaches me. I then communicate to this mail employee that I have given permission to plug my electric trike again and I have been doing this for approximately six weeks now. I then got my cooler out of the back after I plugged the electric trike in and put the lock on it. I then got my cooler and I went out to the Chelson Center lawn. I found a bench to eat my lunch. I was approached by the same male employee that had approached me when I was plugging in the trike, he stated you cannot leave the trike unattended. You must be in the building as long as I was in the building and the trike was fine being charged in the lobby so I gathered up my stuff went inside when you recorded everything back on the bike. Got what I needed to go into the locker room. As I was undressing the same female employee with curly hair that I've never seen before comes into the locker room. Seek me out gives me a dirty look and leaves. At this point, I'm so stressed out they have been harassing me and I don't know what changed. I have been plugging my electric track in for approximately six weeks. Another employee female employee with long dark curly hair and glasses comes into the locker room. She then starts bullying me telling me I can't plug in my bike. That's not the rules I cannot do it. Oh my gosh how dare I. She then states that OK she'll allow me to leave it plugged in for today no longer can I do it though. She leaves I was brought to tears like literally I started sobbing. I have been attacked all morning twice by the male employee the same male employee and then two different women attacked me in the locker room verbally bullying me about my electric trike. They all acted like I was raking a law and oh my gosh how dare I? How dare I how dare I. When once again, I'm going to state, I had been plugging in my electric trach for approximately 4 to 6 weeks at the same area in the same lobby that I was given permission. And then was I'm plugging the electric trike, taking the lock off and this other mail employee comes up to me, Steven and asks if he can help me take my bike out of the doors because I needed assistance because the doors don't open up very wide. I said to him you have been the kindest person to me today and I really appreciate it. I then started telling him about all the bullying that I had been experiencing that day by these employees and that I had not done anything different than I have been doing the last 4 to 6 weeks that I was given permission by the staff to plug my electric try again. He listened and he was very kind. I then got the courage to ask to speak to a manager. And low boy, hold the woman with a long, dark curly hair and the glasses is the manager that comes out and then said to another male employee no, I don't wanna talk to her. I'm going to complain about her. She's one of the people that bullied me about something that I had gotten permission to do. I want you to hear that People I got permission to plug in my trike and I had been doing it for 4 to 6 weeks. This was bullying. This was harassment. I am 67 years old on disability in Long-term Care. I did not deserve this. Nobody deserves this. This is unacceptable. -10 stars

I can't say enough good things about Jordan, Caleb, Thomas, Ryan and Riley. All the other coaches seem great too, but those are the ones I and my son interacted with the most. My teenager really enjoyed the classes--learning to push himself, develop new skills, and eventually, as he got into the adult classes, sparing. I wasn't interested in sparing or rising the ranks--which there is a lot of opportunity to do at McMahon. For me, however, it was more about physical fitness and trying something out of my comfort zone, and I was welcomed just the same. I really appreciate that they take students at whatever place they are and foster an environment open to all varieties of goals and abilities. There is also a growing women's group that's very welcoming and inclusive. Overall, a great place!

Everyone made me feel welcome, and the training is extremely effective. It doesn't take long in the entry level Skills Lab to build striking and ground skills that are designed for someone who might really need to use them - in the cage, or on the street. The classes are fast-paced and I always end up getting a great workout almost without realizing it. The Art is definitely a fusion - Muay Thai, BJJ, Wrestling, Boxing, Catch, Silat, Kali come in to play (to name a few.) I love the Sila Yoga. The Dojo is the only place in the US you can learn it, and it is so different from any other style of yoga I've tried! It definitely builds strength as well as flexibility, and I love the way it uses the animal movements and postures. These guys do a lot of outdoor training too, and classes at the park or seminars in the mountains have been some of my favorite training here. Last but not least, The Dojo is the regional training center for C.O.B.R.A. Self-Defense Systems. C.O.B.R.A Self Defense's scenario based and police academy style training really set it apart as far as effectiveness and how simple it is to apply for anyone. It's so important to have a real, tested self defense program that any age or experience level can really use when they need it. Highly recommend!

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.
