I was not all that familar with guns, but knew I really needed one for self protection…read more I stopped into Self Defense Solutions and was pleased with their large selection of guns, and how friendly and helpful everyone was. The man that waited on me, Ray, was ready and willing to answer all my questions, and let me hold several guns to see which one fit my hands and was not too heavy for me, I ended up buying a 9mm and really like the way it shoots. I also needed a Gun Permit, so I took their permit class. It was taught by Don Charest and Neil Denham. They were also very thorough with the information they presented, yet entertaining to listen to. I had taken a permit class when I lived in another state, and was impressed with how well done this class was. Very professional. They have a home defense class I would like to take in the future, I will review it when I do. I just wanted to say, thanks guys! I am now much more comfortable with guns, and would highly recommend this store to anyone needed a gun or classes.

I have witnessed firsthand and have also been told of her belittling, yelling and speaking down to not only her staff but also other patrons of the gym. I have been yelled at by the owner on multiple occasions- each time trying to understand why and thinking maybe she was just having off days. It is time I spoke up for myself and against her bullying behavior. To behave in such a manner, as a business owner, is beyond unprofessional and demoralizing to patrons who pay money to work out- not to be yelled at and accosted by its owner. read less

Bryson City is beautiful and right next to Great Smokey Mountain National Park…read more This is the best gym you're going to find in Bryson City. It's not big, but it's way better than a hotel gym. See pictures. You can pay $7/day or $30/week if you're from out of town. I ended up only using it twice, which isn't worth $30, but that's my own fault for playing poker until 3 a.m. If you do take advantage of this offer, they will give you a key fob for 24-hour access. There is a free weight room in the back, which is where you want to go if looking for strength training. The treadmills are in the main room, but they face the gym instead of out the window. The staff here is very friendly. They make you feel welcomed. In regards to the members, they're going to know that you're not from around there. No big deal, though. They keep to themselves. This is a good option if you're looking for a real gym when traveling. It's not huge, but it gets the job done.

Kim gives the best messages! Every time I go see her my migraines go away for months.read more

First, let me start by saying that Kim gives excellent massages. I always enjoyed my appointments…read morewith her and honestly wish I had been able to go more often. A few months ago, however, I had to cancel an appointment because my toddler was sick. After that, something seemed to change. I can't say for certain why, but my experience was very different from that point forward. My coworkers were kind enough to purchase a gift certificate for me to see Kim, and they even included a generous tip. When I reached out to schedule my appointment, communication became frustrating. After several attempts, I was only offered two appointment times--one approximately a month away and the other about two months away. Both were during hours that I had already explained I could not make because of my work schedule. What made the experience even more disappointing was learning that after I was told those were the available times, a coworker was offered several much sooner and more convenient appointment options. That left me feeling as though I was not being given the same scheduling opportunities, despite trying to be flexible and clearly communicating my availability. I can't say for certain why my experience was different, but the timing made me wonder if my previous cancellation due to my sick toddler played a role. Whether it did or not, that is how the experience felt from my perspective. Kim did offer to let someone else use my gift certificate, but the gift certificate had been thoughtfully purchased specifically for me by my coworkers, and I simply wanted the opportunity to use it myself within a reasonable timeframe. It's unfortunate because Kim truly does great massage work. Unfortunately, I was never able to redeem the gift certificate my coworkers so thoughtfully purchased for me. While I have no complaints about the quality of her massages, the communication and scheduling experience left me feeling unwelcome and undervalued as a customer.
