I've been a member for over a year, and this is without a doubt the best gym I've ever joined. Why?…read more The people. The space. The vibe. The offerings. The responsiveness. The community. The people who work at Raintree often remember my name, welcome me in, and help with any issues that come up for me. The people who work out here come in a range of ages and body types, and are friendly and thoughtful about helping keep the space nice for whoever is coming in next. The space is well organized into sections that feel private and very functional. The yoga space is very zen. There are a few hangout areas that include couches, or tables and chairs, and feel very home like. The recovery room is quiet and dimly lit. There are several spaces with weights and weight machines and each have their own personality. The track is perfectly located to make it easy to include the sled and/or a warm up or cool down lap along with weight lifting. The vibe is consistent and reminds me of being in a spa. Not hooty tooty, but rather, like I have a rich friend who has invited me over to their gym and is glad I've come over! The gym always smells nice and fresh, is clean and welcoming, and has good music on at exactly the right volume. It's easy to walk around as the paths to places are well delineated. And, I always feel like I belong. The offerings, responsiveness and community all resonate deeply with me. Currently I am focusing on prepping for the DEKA, and Raintree has classes, trainers and the equipment I need to prep for this. I am also working on becoming more centered and lowering my cortisol, and the yoga classes and sound bath class are really helping me achieve better sleep, less stress and more feeling connected to my body and heart than I have in a very long time. The variety of equipment and my amazing personal trainer, Kelly, have helped me achieve so many of my personal fitness goals without getting injured, including a 4 day back pack trip with some girlfriends while carrying 40 pounds. I am currently working with Kelly to compete in my first DEKA and to do a pull up. I will leave you with one last example to demonstrate the extra mile this amazing space goes to to help me meet my personal goals as well as to feel very cared for. The other day I came in and asked Chad how I could measure out 100 meters so I could practice for the DEKA. He told me he would measure it out for me. So literally, I went to my yoga class and he got my spaces all measured out and ready to go!

And maybe get some air fresheners in the locker rooms they smell like a sweaty a-hole.

I visited for a free first class and it was tough, even for a beginner level! I liked that it is very low impact for everything you do, from jumping to push ups, which puts so much less pressure on your joints and whole body. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and made frequent form corrections for me and the rest of the class, which was so helpful. The only downside for me was the lack of compliance with mask wearing - both the instructor/owner and all other attendees went maskless the entire workout, with masks only on when entering and exiting. She mentioned that the regulars all like not wearing masks, but just because someone is a regular doesn't mean they don't unknowingly have a virus or symptoms, or that they should be exempt from state public health guidelines. Additionally, the owner/instructor was super friendly, but seemed a bit all over the place - I had to tell her what level class it was as she didn't realize it was for beginners and she wasn't aware I was attending the class at all. A bit odd but still a good workout. I would be comfortable returning if they followed mask requirements or post-pandemic.

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!

As soon as I got to The Dojo I knew I'd found the Martial Arts school I'd been looking for. This…read moreplace is fun and friendly, and they have quietly turned out champions for years. 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.

When you go in if its your first time thy will make you watch a safety video, but we couldn't even hear it?? So was not totally sure of the point of the video. If you know how to belay, you will need to take a belay test in order to prove your knowledge and then they will mark it in their computer that they have tested you. You also have to do something to be able to use the auto belay but we didn't do any of those so i am not sure what you need to do. They have special clips that you will need to get from the front though to be able to use them. They had 60 ropes with around 120 different climbs and a large bouldering section. This was place was pretty impressive. Though ropes were a little close to each other and there was a LOT of people when we were there. The staff was friendly. Overall we enjoyed our experience. It was a little expensive. $18 a person and that is without gear rental. Hence the 4 stars. It was fun for a treat though and i will probably be back in the future
