As a further waste of my time, I was given one price for training only to be upsold once I was in person. It's great they have these favorable reviews but my experience was completely negative.

The staff needs to take more copious notes when initially speaking with potential clients. In my experience if the manager had a modicum of common sense she would have offered a discount on a class for the inconvenience they caused.
