I've been going here to get my legs sugared by Christina (the Managing Licensed Esthetician) since…read moreNovember of 2016. I can't believe how kind and professional she is, even to someone who is new to the process and asks TONS of questions like me! She made sure I wasn't uncomfortable and that the sugar wasn't pulling on my skin. She gave me specific instructions to follow before my first appointment to help me be best prepared for the procedure. Her directions for exfoliation were thorough and clear; and this is a key step to having any hair removal procedure to avoid skin irritation and ingrown hair. I'm excited to keep going and see the hair growth diminish on my legs. I get horrible razor burn, so this has been the best thing for me. Christina is happy to help with any other skin questions I have, giving suggestions of things to avoid and things to try that I already have at home... Never trying to just upsell me, she has offered me a few samples to try before buying a full-sized product from their showroom. The Spa has such a calm and peaceful atmosphere, as well. So much so that I look forward to spending a couple hours having my legs sugared, even though it isn't the most pain-free experience! (It does hurt a LOT LESS than regular waxing, however!) Highly recommended!

From the owner: Infrared saunas are different from a traditional sauna because they penetrate beneath the surface…read moreof the skin. They use wavelengths of light that are invisible to the naked eye called infrared. These wavelengths do not just heat the skin, they go deep into the body to warm from within. This is a far more effective method than a traditional sauna. Traditional saunas use mind clogging steam to heat a room. The hot air in turn heats your skin. Unfortunately for traditional saunas, the heat only warms the outer layers of skin. The body feels almost no heat deep within. If you were to attempt to feel the same penetrating heat from a traditional sauna you would have to remain inside the steam room for over an hour.

Plus, I think I'd like to study about this type of treatment more. There's a salt wall, which I think is mostly for aesthetics and looks. Then they have a machine coming out of the wall that helps disperse salt humidity. Similar to a humidifier with salt water in it. I could taste the salt on my lips and throat. When I breathe through my nose, it did seem to activate something that helped clear my sinuses more. My nose feels very clear since I've left, and I tend to have a lot of allergy issues. I think I'll go back and try this again in the future. The employee was welcoming, inviting, and informative.

My experience with LA Fitness ultimately led me to cancel my membership despite being satisfied…read morewith the actual personal training. I was paying more than $200 per month when my personal training package and other membership amenities were included. Unfortunately, I experienced repeated issues with the overall gym environment, including interactions with staff members that I felt were disrespectful and included offensive remarks as I passed by. I brought my concerns to management more than once, but eventually reached the point where I no longer felt comfortable continuing to pay that amount of money in an environment where I could not simply focus on my workout in peace. I ultimately spoke with management and a regional manager about ending my agreement. They did work with me somewhat on the cancellation cost and reduced the amount by approximately $200, but I still paid more than $300 to get out of the contract. I want to be fair and say that the personal training itself was very good. My reason for leaving was not the quality of the training. It was the overall environment and my feeling that, for what I was paying, I should have been able to expect a consistently professional and respectful experience. For me, the biggest lesson from this experience is that I will no longer enter into long-term gym contracts. I now prefer month-to-month memberships so that if the environment or service does not meet my expectations, I have the ability to leave without paying hundreds of dollars to get out of an agreement. When someone is investing this much money in their health and fitness, they should be able to come into the gym, work out, and leave without unnecessary problems. That was ultimately what I was looking for, and unfortunately I did not feel I was receiving it here.

I came on a Sunday afternoon and was told no one from membership was available. I asked if I could get a brochure with basic membership plans and rates and was told no. I took off work during the week and got a high pressure tour from the membership director. I found the fact that they require an initiation fee to be a little odd, that's a very old fashioned model. Still I was impressed with the cleanliness and equipment so I signed up. I wish I hadn't. It was oversold in many ways. It's at best a mediocre run of the mill fitness center, akin to a YMCA or municipal rec center. They do offer towels but that's about it. Completely unimpressed with the fitness assessment I was offered. The person was looking at his phone the whole time. When I called to cancel my membership I was told I had to speak to the membership director. I left her a voicemail but she never got back to me. I went in-person to cancel. The membership director brushed me off and told me to she only dealt with new memberships, I had to go to the front desk to fill out a form. I started to fill out the form, but had some basic questions about the cancelation process which the nice retired people working the desk couldn't answer. I called and left another message for the membership director and have not heard back. They autorenewed my membership without notice. And are making it virtually impossible to cancel. Cleveland Clinic should be ashamed. In this day and age, no one wants an auto renewing subscription that you can't cancel without jumping through hoops.​​

In the past I've mainly purchased herbal teas and remedies (fantastic selection, all organic and fair-sourced, great prices), but also occassionally picked up books, candles, incense, hand-crafted jewelry, and the like. I hear good things about the many classes they offer but haven't yet had the chance to sit in on one. They also have frequent events like psychic fairs with multiple readers on site. Again, I've never availed myself of these, but have been around when a couple of them have been going on. The definite sense I got was that people were enjoying and appreciating them. I'm happy to say that I did avail myself today of some new (for me) A Creative ApothaCare services, and I couldn't be happier. I purchased a package deal for time in first their infra-red sauna, followed by their salt cave. It was epic - and also therapeutic, insanely relaxing, and happily very affordable. I will certainly be back for more of the same. I understand also that ACA will soon have a sensory float tank up and running. I definitely want to check that out, and will post an update here when I do. A Creative ApothaCare - I just can't recommend this place enough. Between the herbal products (which also include CBD and kratom), and the spa services, they've got your health and wellness covered. With books and metaphysical supplies, they're addressing mind and spirit. Throw in a real sense of community, welcoming to everyone, and a safe and nurturing environment for folks who need that most, ACA is a treasure. Do yourself a favor and stop by.

I've been a member simultaneously at different gyms for various reasons. I must say Personalized Wellness Center holds up with the best of them. After being a member for two weeks at PWC and coming in at different times here is my sincere review. 1. PWC has a nutrition bar where they make fresh smoothies and offer supplements. (get a fresh smoothie after/before working out) 2. PWC is open 24/7 so you can work out at your convenience. 3.PWC has free weights,bicycles,treadmills,ellipticals, a track and a ton of machines. 4.PWC also has a daycare for kids,a rehabilitation center and also personal trainers. 5. PWC has a practical and reasonable monthly subscription 6.Mature crowd 7.Sauna I've been to gyms on the west coast were you pay $129 a month and gym's were you pay $19 a month. It's the same workout,whether you pay 10k for a rolex or ten dollars for a timex they both tell the same time. The more expensive gym's, yes did have newer equipment, fancier tv's, state of the art sound systems, big smoothie and supplement stores. At the end of the day your body & health transformation depends on YOU!! You have to go into the gym you have to lift the weights,you have to get on the treadmill and you have to want it. Typically not always but typically those big "franchised gyms' it's more of a social hour and people wearing too much cologne/perfume. That doesn't happen at PWC I highly recommend PWC it has everything a big franchise gym has but yet gives you the at home feel
