    Donna has been such a blessing to our family. All 3 of our kiddos, ages 1,4 & 5 are taking lessons. She is so patient, warm and welcoming. My middle child is incredibly shy and won't try new things without mommy. Well, Miss Donna won over her heart and can't wait when it's time to swim with miss Donna again. She was afraid to even get in the water and now she is jumping in the deep end and swimming to safety. My oldest is learning all sorts of strokes and is a fish. My youngest is getting comfortable going under water, learning to float on his back and is even kicking and swimming. Mind you this is all in less than 10 lessons. We absolutely adore Miss Donna. We trust her wholeheartedly with the safety of our babies. They love her like family. I'm pregnant with another and can't wait to start the baby next summer. Thank you Miss Donna for teaching our kiddos in a fun, loving and lifesaving way

    We enjoy pool days so much this year thanks to this woman right here Miss Donna @swimshineinfantaquatics She promised, she accommodated, she loved, she delivered and she is AWESOME!! After 24 lessons, my 2 yo and 4 yo are fish! My 4 yo was scared to death of getting his face wet. We worked with him all summer last year with no success and by the first day, she had him under! At the end of the first week, he was actually swimming. After about 5 weeks, he is a trustworthy and strong swimmer. My 2 yo is fearless until it comes to strangers and she definitely gave Miss Donna a run for the money! (Sorry Donna!) Regardless, Donna loved her and didn't give up! I wish I could post a video (probably user error) but it is AMAZING to watch my tiny girl swim. She is clearly SAFE in the water and has inspired several of our friends, in various locations, to invest in safety swim. Today is July 4th and we spent the day in the pool and both kids swam, with many eyes on them, with no adults in the pool. It was incredible and worth every penny! I knew I needed to catch my 4 yo up to speed. His friends knew how to swim and he was scared to put his face in. But our work schedules didn't accommodate regular swim lessons each summer. Donna made her schedule work for us and promised to get them swimming in 24 lessons so we bit the bullet and made it work and I miss every morning without her. I signed my 2 yo up because I didn't want her to be 4 and face the same disadvantage as her brother and to my surprise, she has every advantage! It's a crack up to watch her and she has even been an inspiration to others, which makes me feel a different kind of good. Last thing I want to note is that it has been a few weeks since we completed Miss Donna's program and she still checks in because she is genuinely missing and thinking about my kids. She is the best and our swim coach forever. Highly recommended.

    He's comfortable going under the water in the deep end and can now swim the whole length of the pool.

    We Absolutely love Swim Shine Aquatics! My son Dash was scared of pools and getting in the water before he started here and now it is a huge difference. He loves the water and is excited to go evert time. Coach Donna is so patient and kind. She guided Dash in such a positive way to be the best he could be. I highly recommend them. Thank you Coach Donna, you are amazing.

    I am so, so glad we signed our daughter up for lessons with Miss Donna. She spends a lot of time around a pool and her safety is priority #1. Miss Donna clearly wants all of her swimmers to be SAFE and her technique works! My 2.5 year old started the safety swim lessons several months ago and is now doing the swim-float-swim beautifully and comfortably. Donna also taught us what to do when we're in the pool with her to reinforce the swim-float-swim. Highly recommend!

    Donna then texted me to tell me my yelp review was under investigation. She truly has lost it. And yes I have documentation and photo xrays of my daughters pnemonia days after leaving her swim program that in the very unlikely event that Donna's claim is true I am happy to provide.

    My daughter took lessons at age 2 with another swim school In temecula, Hated every minute, then completely regressed. we signed her up with mrs Donna at 3(almost 4) and were nervous it would be a similar experience, but it wasn't!! My daughter loved mrs Donna. She was calm and patient and went slowly so my daughter would build up her confidence. We completed our lessons and then continued with fun day Friday classes to expand her skills and learn to play safely in the water. She went from not wanting to leave the step to jumping in, slides, back stroke, butterfly etc. she is 5 now and still loves going to lessons! It's always learning mixed with fun. We also just completed our sons lessons. He started a little before age 2 and was a tough cookie. He was a difficult student but mrs Donna never gave up on him. Although he was difficult He was learning the skills because of mrs donnas wonderful teaching skills and now he has a love of swimming with us at home. He continues to go to more lessons to strengthen and perfect his skills. Worth every penny.

    This is the BEST infant/toddler swim class! Both my boys 3 and 5 absolutely loved the water until 6 months ago my youngest (who was 2yo at that time) had an incident and nearly drowned it was such a terrible and traumatic experience for anyone to go through...since then every time we asked if he wanted to go to the beach or pool he said no. So we waited a while about 6 months to get him back in the water, when we felt like he was ready we found ms Donna on yelp and from the first time i spoke to her on the phone I knew she would be the one to help my baby over come his fear and help him swim and love the water again. she was so kind, compassionate and sweet! She said all he right things to make me start with her ASAP! At the first lesson it was just amazing how she had them both floating on the back! I was sooo impressed! Especially my youngest who had the incident, he is an overall shy baby he doesn't like talking to anyone he doesn't know. So when I seen ms Donna make him laugh and excited and showed her that he trusts her...my heart just melted! Thank you soo much ms Donna for being the lovable and caring person you are especially with my baby. You guys have to try her out! She is the real deal, the best out there! We can't wait to go back next week for our next lesson! We drive all the way to Temecula from menifee just for her! My boys remembered her name and my baby's exact words was "Ms Donna is aweeeeesome!" You won't regret it! PS: she is the most AFFORDABLE out there! Plus she always has different promotions going on, but either way her prices are very hard to beat! Alot of other places charge an arm and a leg one place quoted me $700 a package that was only 1x a week! That was nuts! Ms Donna is worth every penny and more!

    We've been going to Mrs. Donna for 7 weeks now and I can't believe the progress my boys have made! It's incredible. She's so good and creative with the boys. My 4.5 year old wasn't even swimming this last summer and now he's doing the backstroke and butterfly. My 21 month old is doing the float to back sequence like 2nd nature. His speech had Dennis improved since starting lessons. It really is an invaluable investment. Highly recommend!

    Graduation day!

    Miss Donna is the best around!!! When my son started he was so afraid and would never put his face in the water. 24 (15 minute) lessons later... he is a little fish! I can't say enough good things about Swim Shine Aquatics! It was one of the best investments we made.

    Taking both my 4 and 6 year old to swimming lessons was one of the best decisions I've made as a parent. My 6-year-old daughter just graduated from a 16-week lesson, and my son has made tremendous progress! He's that kid who hated water in his eyes during a bath. Miss Donna is no doubt the best swimming instructor around; she is so kind and patient while teaching these kids important life-saving skills. She has all the proper tools and training to teach your child to swim, and to feel comfortable, confident, and safe in the water. I used to be so nervous whenever my kids were near a pool, and I am just so thankful and blessed for all she's taught them.

    Our son Jax started with Ms. Donna last year. He did the initial 6 week program and he loved it so much that we continued on with her ever since. She works so well with the kids and the parents. She has so much knowledge and experience and it shows. One of the things I love most about Ms. Donna is that she incorporates so much more then just swimming. She has worked with Jaxon on his speech and with learning colors. She has built his confidence in the pool and given us peace of mind when he is outside playing around our pool. She loves what she does and it shows through how well my son swims and his big smile when he sees her. You won't find anyone else like Ms. Donna.

The environment is comfortable and scrupulously clean - which is a big thing for me at any kind of gym or studio! I've been taking PIlates - they offer mat Pilates, which is a serious workout - YogaTone, a dance / Yoga fusion developed by the owner, Kara Keating, and Flow Yoga, which is a series of continuous movements that build strength and flexibility. My wife and I have both been taking classes at Movement Arts for around three years. Some reasons why, aside from good teachers and a super clean, comfortable environment, are: I like that the instructors - even in the group classes - take the time to work with individual students, helping us with our form and approach. The wide variety of classes and the fact that they offer classes in the morning, afternoon and early evenings most day makes it very convenient to attend the classes we want. The studio also offers regular yoga excursions - at reasonable prices - to places like Maui, Costa Rica and other spots - all in search of the perfect Downward Dog! :) Finally, I appreciate the community feel of Movement Arts - it is definitely not like a gym, where you go to work out and then - you're gone. This is the kind of place that I hope will help keep us stronger, more flexible, health(ier) and happier for many years.

    It's been a very long time since I had a gym membership. My wife signed us up for Hot Worx before…read moreit was even built. It seemed like something different and I had not heard of Hot Worx. I'm sure glad she did it. First and foremost we can embark on this fitness journey together. The rest is the concept of exercising in a hot sauna might be beneficial. I went to my orientation and got my iPhone set up with the apps. The employee who took me through was a gem. She seemed knowledgeable and passionate about what they do there. The dependence on my phone as I exercise is not my favorite but it's necessary and I understand that. Technology is interwoven into everything we do anyway. I like how clean it is inside and it's all brand new. They require you to purchase their mat and exercise towel and they're the only mats allowed. Also get yourselves a pedicure because no shoes and socks in the saunas except for cycle and rowing. There are many programs to take advantage of. All of them are inside a sauna with the exception of the free weight section. There is cycling, yoga, stretching, rowing etc. the list is online. It's all led by virtual instructors. Again you will need your cell phone to start and track all your programs. For my first try I did the cycle workout. It's only 15 minutes but it was intense. Especially in a wooden box at 125 degrees. I thought I would have a problem breathing hot air but it didn't really affect me. I've been in saunas with the hot rocks and water bucket and it's hard to breathe. The saunas at Hot Worx are infrared so maybe that's why. I also did the Hot Barre None program and that kicked my butt big time. Every movement was precise and isolated muscles. I was wiped out after 40 minutes. You schedule your sessions through the app. It lets you see if anyone is in the time slots you want (max of 3) so you can decide if you want in with others or not. Personally I think three might too many for some of the saunas like the Hot Barre None. I was in there by myself. With two others it might seem claustrophobic. The place is open 24/7 and there's a second app you use to unlock the door. Staff is there during the day certain hours but mostly its just the patrons. Today I was in there with all women. I didn't see a man anywhere unless I looked in a mirror. I'm sure I forgot some features but I'll leave up to you dear reader to go on down to Hot Worx and find out for yourself. If you see a sweaty red faced middle aged man about to keel over it's probably me. Happy exercising!

    Pros: - You can select the temperature of the saunas…read more- Virtual instructors lead the workout so you never feel on the spot - You can cross train using different workouts - Free weights are available (but in a small area and they are NOT allowed in sauna) - 24/7 access using an app and there are two panic-button necklaces for safety if you are alone in the studio - The video reminds you to clean the equipment and wipes are provided - Staff is very friendly and I have seen them cleaning often when I am in the studio during day time hours Cons: - Other people can book the sauna at the same time with you. I dislike this for many reasons. 1. I use this method of workout to reduce human interaction. 2. If I decide to relax and use it truly as a sauna or meditate, I cannot. Or other times I do my own workout - which I can't when someone else is there. 3. The sauna is just too small to fit three people. 4. Plus this requires a compromise on the setting of the sauna temperature.... I wish you could block the time out and if you choose to, "invite" others to your work out session - You can't stretch out from one end of the sauna to the other - Lack of variety of the same classes (the same workouts repeat over and over again) - You are required to buy products to support the sauna (mat, towel, bands) for ISO workouts ($$$ upfront) - Certain workouts aren't available during times that are convenient (for example if I can only workout M-F at 4:30AM - only 4 of the 9 ISO workouts are available). - You must use the App to track your progress *and there are glitches at times

    We are here for a couple months and took advantage of there no membership fee to join! Super nice…read morestaff, knowledgeable, courteous, encouraging and overall excellent! We use to work out here 20 years ago. The place on the outside still doesn't look like much but don't judge a book by its cover! Inside they are equipped with new circuit training equipment, lots of cardio machines. Upstairs is my favorite loaded with free weights and more machines and lots of outside light. Excellent pool for lap swimming which my husband does while I hit the cardio! Unlimited classes and no fee! Lots of fun! Daycare on site too! If you need to get back at it this is the place!

    When I initially joined in 2023, the pool was maintained (i.e., chlorine level testing, dirt…read moreremoval at the bottom of the pool, etc.) But now, there is no maintenance at all, and an uncomfortable number of spiders in the water. AND there was a wooly looking creature that I have no idea what it was, but it was disgusting. They increased the membership dues and stopped cleaning. I'm not sure how that works, but I guess this is how they roll these days. There is supposed to be three lap lanes, but the lane dividers are old, and one is missing altogether. At one point I was told that new lane dividers were ordered and would be installed next Tuesday. Well, here we are months later and many Tuesdays later, and still, no new lane dividers and one still missing. The reasoning is that there are "missing products", and they're busy and haven't been able to find the time? Like, wait, what? I don't even know what to do with that. Can someone please explain to me what that means?? Like, I'm a three-year-old.
