3 generations started with Elsa Zoll, ballerina with incredible tenacity. Her life with dance began…read morein a Japanese concentration camp. The teacher was a dancer that taught out of a wheel chair. Elsa immediately loved ballet. Her life became dance. Her mother was a brilliant musician and passed her craft onto her daughter. Everything they endeavored, they spent countless hours and extreme dedication to reach perfection. Elsa also loves people. She went out in weaverville ca and rounded up interested students and started her school using gymnasiums and open buildings to bring students together. She taught ballet and became a popular feature in weaverville. She brought her industrious nature and family of six to Redding to open her first school. She was always training and attending master classes all over the state to bring the best to her students. I was one of her students and her daughters good friend. She impressed me from a young age at her ability to teach well and to pass the gift to her children. Her children are some of the most industrious folk I know. The love of dance and teaching dance in her family was evident and they all learned tap and jazz and could choreograph big groups and small groups and solos. The passion coming from the family drove them to be "the place to go."I took my babies to mommy and me classes and from there, they grew up in that studio. My youngest daughter won countless competitions and at 38 years old has a lucrative business in dance and choreography. She's worked for big named people and is well known in the business. She's passed along her dance education to many others that are very successful. She has to attribute success to Yvonne, Elsa and the many quality people they vetted and hired to teach in their studio. Stop by or phone to meet Yvonna, you will not meet a harder working, unbiased owner. She has your children's future in her heart. She desires success for all of her students. There is no political BS in her studio, she helps all to reach their goals!

We moved to Chico about a year and a half ago. My daughter immediately started taking classes at…read moreHype. While she liked her instructors, they changed often. The waiting room is full of caddy moms. They talk bad about the owners, about each other and even about the young dancers. It is a appalling. The facility is filthy and extremely disorganized. My daughter learned dances, but absolutely no fundamentals. If you are not part of their Fusion Dance Company (competition team) you basically don't matter. The recital is simply a money maker for them- 4 shows over 3 days, if your child is in more than one class, or if you have multiple kids taking classes, expect to make a weekend of it, and plan to purchase tickets for each performance, so they can show off the fusion team.

The last two ladies I spoke with (Courtney) when cancelling and (Aubrey) who called today are get it done type of ladies. They offered to comp me for some time, (which I politely declined) but I won't be leaving this gym at all. I asked her to toss my cancellation to the side and thanked her for giving me a call, I love the atmosphere here and with some proper cleaning it's going to be even better. Thank you guys for being down to earth, owning the mistake (we are all humans) and implementing new cleaning protocol so that members can feel good about coming here and using the amenities offered. TFFC is your local family gym, the call back shows they care and they will address their members concerns. Thank you guys!

My daughter in law booked a gymnastics birthday party for my granddaughter. No instructor ever…read moreshowed up. We were left in the front lobby with excited toddlers and confused parents, with absolutely no communication or explanation. We had over 6 toddlers waiting in a Lobby and over 15 adults. Not ok. This was so unprofessional and upsetting, especially for young toddlers who were looking forward to a party. A call or email, or honestly any notice at all would have made a huge difference, but we received nothing. And WE were the ones who had to track down the owner to ask why no one was there after waiting an hour. I would not recommend this business to anyone planning an event, especially something as important as a young child's birthday party. Reliability and communication is a bare minimum expectation and this experience fell far below that. This was not ok.

During that appointment I felt very comfortable with the facility and with talking to the owner, Ryan. I decided to sign up for the Semi Private Training. This was the best decision I made for me. I work hard. I do things I did not think I could do. I see positive changes in my body. I have made new friends with both staff and others that I share semi private training sessions with. The training is consistent no matter which trainer you are working with that day. Trainers Ryan, Caleb, Collin, Liz and Marianne have all been great to work with. They check in with you often to make sure you are OK. They work with you on your limitations and help you overcome those limitations. They push you to do better. And they congratulate you on your success. Co-owner Katie Smith offers nutritional support for a total package. I could not be happier with Smitty Built Fitness.
