I have gone to Kat's for 3 years now. Every lesson I take improves my talent significantly. The…read morequality of Kats is beyond what you will find else where. The teachers are passionate, motivated, and very knowledgeable. Kat herself is the most caring and charismatic person I have ever met! She is overflowing with talent and knowledge about music and art. In addition she offers kindness and support to ALL her students. The music facilities are super clean and child friendly! There are always happy kids coming in and out of lessons. Plus there are so many different types of classes offered, I wish Kats Artist Tree was around when I was a kid! The best part is the different classes share their work. Through performances and presentations that highlight what was learned and improved upon, from children to adults. Voice lessons are always fun because you have the opportunity to sing in front of an audience.

My son was interested in drawing so we enrolled him in a group drawing class. I thought they might…read moreteach him some skills or different drawing techniques but it really was just him sitting in a classroom drawing next to other children. This may be helpful if your child doesn't have time to draw but for any blossoming artist who spends hours of their own time sitting and drawing there isn't any value to this time at Kat's verses being at home. I'm not sure the "teacher" has any sort of special training; actually i don't think I ever even saw the teacher or had any feedback from him/her(?) in the 4 months we attended. During this time I saw no change in skill or ability from this class. He didn't particularly enjoy it either. It seemed that the front desk assistant frequently taught the class which started late and ended early regularly. My son benefited from the Young Rembrandt's program at his school more than this program and YR, for the most part, just taught him how to shade. So the bar wasn't set extremely high. This school also requires a registration fee ($60) to even try any of the classes and also requires a credit card on file which they cannot update except in person. There isn't any online account management.. They don't allow for over the phone changes and their withdrawal policy is also very strict so we ended up paying for a month we didn't want. They also sent my credit card information entire number, expiration date, ccv code, address and full name (!) in clear text VIA EMAIL unencrypted which is very very horrendous security policy for a company who requires this information be provided. They are not obviously not PCI compliant so I'd be wary of providing them this information. They aren't particularly nice or friendly either. We won't be back.

I randomly popped into this YMCA and honestly... it reminded me how underrated these places are…read more With all the boutique studios , franchises and flashy gyms appearing everywhere, it's easy to forget the YMCA. Super affordable, super accessible, and low-key in the best way. If you're someone who just wants to get in, get your workout done, and not deal with the whole selfie/influencer gym scene... this is it. YMCA's are also notorious for being very involved in the community . You can find all kinds of events and programs year round . Most people don't realize you could grab a day pass for around $15 (family pass is like $25), which is such a good deal for everything you get. Memberships start @$35. They've got all the essentials--gym, group x classes, pools, basketball court, lockers, showers. Nothing fancy at all but everything you actually need.They also offer sponsorships for those in need . Kinda a " no one gets turned away " philosophy. The staff here were also great. I was greeted right away, did a quick waiver, and they gave me a full tour without rushing it. Answered all my questions and made it really easy to feel comfortable walking in as a first-timer& Overall just a really easy, no-pressure environment. Definitely coming back to actually get a workout in next time.

My daughter recently asked me a question that every sports parent loves to hear:…read more "Dad, where can I go to get better?" So, this summer, I signed her up for private softball lessons at D-BAT with Coach Jayme, and I honestly couldn't be happier with that decision. After just one lesson, my daughter's confidence skyrocketed. She was tracking the ball better, rotating her glove correctly, and finally beginning to understand the fundamentals of catching. In one session with Coach Jayme, she learned more than she had during an entire season of Little League. The biggest change, however, wasn't mechanical. It was her confidence. She enjoyed that first lesson so much that she begged me to sign her up for the week-long softball day camp. As the week went on, I watched her excitement for the game continue to grow. She wasn't just getting better--she was falling in love with softball. As for D-BAT itself, the facility has been excellent. The pro shop is well stocked with softball and baseball equipment, sunglasses, snacks, drinks, and even baseball cards. There are plenty of batting cages available for rentals, lessons, and camps, and everything has felt organized and welcoming every time we've visited. There are also bleachers and sitting areas for parents to watch. We're still new to the softball world, so I don't have years of experience comparing facilities. What I do know is this: My daughter asked where she could get better. We brought her to D-BAT. She left believing she could. As a parent, that's about the highest compliment I can give. We'll definitely be back.

The staff is generally kind and helpful and can answer any questions you may have. I am about the same distance between this dbats and the one in Peoria and prefer this location as they are more consistent. My only gripe is that they seem to always have atleast one or 2 machines down, this last time they had 3. I get it, they get a lot of use and they wear down, still annoying either way. I will continue to come back. I highly recommend a membership if you plan on going atleast once a week, it easily pays for itself.

It's a warehouse studio with high ceilings and plenty of space for all the classes they offer (karate, kenpo, jiu jitsu, kick boxing, yoga, Zumba, self defense, all-female self defense classes, eskrima (Arnis), etc.). There are classes for everyone of all ages & all levels. I was a bit intimidated to come here because it's been a while since I've been active, but everyone here is very friendly and welcoming. So if it's your first time taking classes or it's been a while since your last, please don't be intimidated. This truly is a great place for all ages and levels. I'm even considering bringing my niece in to try out karate. Apparently they haven't had their grand opening just yet, but they seem quite settled in already & definitely open to the public!

While I don't have a child that attends this school I do have relatives who are very involved in…read morethis program. The positive is this; They are very good teachers who make the students go above and beyond their potential. With that said here are the negatives; It's definitely a money thing here. If a student teaches a class, they get no discount in their tuition. You have to teach for 2 years to get paid. So the school gets free teachers while they collect tuition from both the student teachers and students. It is my understanding now that when you buy tickets to a recital you will pay a higher price for the better seats, unbelievable! When they went to California to a World Competition tryouts, the owner was posting Facebook pictures on the beach while the kids were training. In that same trip the costumes that were picked for them looked more like pajamas than an outfit to make them stand out and look professional. And, you don't dare miss a practice or you may find yourself out of a skit. Bottom line for me is while they do a great job teaching it's become all about money. Put the students FIRST and the money will follow.
