Alan and Alex have helped me improve my skills exponentially in such a short time and are very attentive and willing to help on an individual level with form, technique, or any questions I may have. Every class is challenging and I never leave feeling like I have more to give. The kickboxing classes are cardio and strength based and the Muay Tai classes, while still cardio and strength conducive, offer a chance to improve technique with partner work and sparring.

We do not take martial arts from him but rather he trains my son in plyometrics and conditioning for hockey and lacrosse. Folks might not know that Riverview Martial Arts also offers several different kid and adult training opportunities in addition to martial arts. Since we have started going to him my son has noticeably improved in his hockey first three steps and Lacrosse speed, quickness and agility. I can't say enough how my son loves coming to his training sessions ( even though Master Coach really puts him through it!). The sessions are varied and tailored to his abilities to work to develop both his strengths and weaknesses in a one on one environment that is always demanding and challenging. Master Coach challenges my son's limits blowing past his comfort zone but always with respectful and conscientious coaching. My son has fun while he is improving his athleticism. I hear him grunt every once and a while and he always leaves sweaty, tired and cannot wait to come back! We told several of our friends whose kids have also started training with him and they love going to him as well. Thank you Master Coach! Keep up the good work.

It's one of the only traditional martial arts schools left in Ohio. The school has very a detailed requirement documents for every belt that must be met prior to being allowed to test. You must train, practice, review, work hard and demonstrate proficiency in your techniques in order to test for your next belt. Every test requires that you demonstrate proficiency in all prior techniques including the techniques for the belt you are testing for. A Black Belt from this school is someone who understands that it is training and practice that makes a Black Belt. Our Black Belts are confident in their ability to protect and defend themselves and others. Instructors and students at this school train, work hard, and support each other with advice on how to improve your skills. I really enjoy training at this school.

We had three young children with us. You enter through the main pool area and walk to your right out a set of doors. There is a large pool area that is sectioned off for different uses. There is a gradual entry area with a water playground for kids, this is connected to the main part of the pool that gets about 5 feet deep. There are 2 slides that you have to be 48 inches to ride. The lifeguards have a break for 15 minutes after 45 minutes of swimming. All kids have to get out of the water. While waiting there are lots of lounge chairs, a snack shack offer ice cream, hot dogs, pretzels, etc. along with a playground and swing area for the kids. There are also two indoor areas you can take the kids to play with the frog pool for younger kids and the indoor water playground.

Here's a clean, readable Yelp-style review that keeps your experience intact but flows more…read moresmoothly and sounds polished: First Visit to Splash Zone - Overland, Ohio This was my first visit to Splash Zone in Overland, Ohio. Registration is a bit of a process. You first have to create a profile through the Lorain County Metro Parks system, then return to the Splash Zone site to register for a specific program on a designated day and time. Once registered, the system shows your cost--mine initially showed $0. I arrived about 30 minutes early on the morning of my class, which turned out to be helpful because I had to re-register in person. After completing that, I was told there would normally be a $3 fee due to my SilverSneakers account. However, the woman at the front desk kindly let me attend for free that day, explaining that future visits would be $3. Since I'd never been there before, I had to navigate through several locker and pool areas. There are multiple pools separated by glass dividers with automatic doors--someone shared a helpful tip that the small black box above the door shows which side to stand on to trigger it. The instructor came in without much of an introduction, set up a small carry-on-size speaker, put on her headset, and began the class. The workout was aqua Tabata (a Japanese-style interval workout): 20 seconds of fast-paced movement followed by 10 seconds of rest. The class lasted 45 minutes. I stayed for about 30 minutes, choosing to leave early since shower space is limited and I like to be considerate of others. The workout itself was excellent, and being in the water felt really good. The showers, however, were not great--hair on the floor and a general "public park" feel, even at 10:30 a.m. I was glad I wore water shoes. On the plus side, the water temperature and the very hot shower afterward were appreciated. The instructor mentioned that this is her business and encouraged people to connect on Facebook (with a profile photo), and it's clear she's very talented. Overall, despite a few logistical and cleanliness issues, I'd go back again--and next time, I'd happily pay the $3 when I'm in town.

I went for aqua aerobics. These signs were on the wall for motivation.
