The price was in-line with other options. Leon was personable, knowledgeable, and helpful. He made sure to provide us with everything that we needed to know and was efficient in providing us with the training needed to get certified in CPR, comfortable using an AED, and helping someone who may be choking. Leon shared knowledge and best practices that he had accumulated over 15 years of experience. His gym and fitness classes also looked legit and there was a community feel to his fitness center that you don't get at many locations.

I really like working out at Bourne2Fly Fitness and would highly recommend checking it out. Leon,…read morethe owner, is great. I have been training with him for about six months now, and in that time I have found him to be a highly energetic and motivational trainer who is very thoughtful about the workouts he puts together. When I first came in for a fitness evaluation, I was pretty nervous because, frankly, I've never been very good at this fitness stuff. Fortunately, Leon was super welcoming and made me feel at ease, even when I had trouble completing my first workout (I barely made it past the warm up, not because it was a crazy workout or anything like that but because my body just wasn't used to much physical exertion). Leon very patiently helped me push through all that. In addition to personal training with Leon, I have also taken a few boxing classes with Coach Herb. Those classes are a lot of fun and I would also recommend them. I should add that Leon is a good guy who lives in the area and is invested in the local community. I live a few blocks away and am very happy to be able to support a local business.

I've lived in the city for over 20 years and I literally had no idea this recreation center even…read moreexisted. Someone told me about it so I came here to check it out this morning. It seems like the indoor pool is an Olympic sized pool and when aI got here they were doing some type of class there. There is also an indoor basketball court that I'm sure gets used a lot during the weekend. There was nobody in there this Thursday morning. The gym was disappointing however because there wasn't much to it at all. What I did like was the outdoor circular path which is about 2.5 times the length of an actual track. I would for sure make use of it if I lived a little closer. The baseball field also looked like it was in good condition. I was told that I need to sign up on their website in order to use the recreation center.

I was so happy to find a small, independent yoga studio in my neighborhood to join and even more…read moredelighted after I started going to classes. As soon as you enter, it's obvious it's a nice studio with a welcoming vibe--the class instructor checks you in, and there's free tea and animal crackers to take while you get settled in and hang up your coat. There's a free lending library in the lobby, too. They don't charge for using their mats and props which was a pleasant surprise. And the classes themselves are great! A well-rounded practice and not over-crowded with attendees. They have a wide variety of class options (yin, Hatha, kundalini, pre-natal) as well as multi-week workshops and events. They offer classes both in person and live online. For a little studio they have a lot to offer! It's not the cheapest yoga spot in DC, and there are only about 5 classes per day, but it's been a great experience so far. I'm glad I took the leap and got a membership (also because the first month is half off!)

This is my second review since attending Lighthouse back in September. The growth I have seen…read morewithin myself since attending is nothing I have ever experienced. For the last 10 years I have been studying my own psychology and using Cognitive Behavioral Therapies to overcome the narcissistic abuse from my childhood home. Although understanding my circumstances has helped me overcome a lot, the growth that I have come into since joining this studio does not compare. Over the last 3 months I have stopped coping with my pain with the use of Marijuana. Through the intentional movement, breath work, and meditation on a regular basis I am now able to see my own projections and even those of others which has allowed to engage with the relationships in my life differently, more productively. I have also stopped disassociating in intimacy something I did not realize I was doing from being a victim of sexual assault and rape. This place has taught me how to come back to my body and be present in my life without bringing my past back into my present. I cannot say enough of how eternally grateful I am for this place that has become a community of support and guidance. Thank you to all the instructors who brought light back into my life. Even my trajectory of my current career path is changing. Manju Sadarangani, Kate Judson, Jenna Tomasello, Jen Skillicorn, Ametisse Gover-Chamiou, Alicia McBride, Meredith McCullough, Colleen Brisport Sequeda, and of course Rebecca Henry only to name a few you have all taught me more about my alignment, my breathing, my mind more than you know. You are not just teachers, you are angels and gifts and I do not take you for granted. Thank you all for what you do for our community to help make this world a better place. This place is one of recovery and peace in my soul. I can honestly say, I have finally reach a place of contentment and deep connection with myself which is leading to deeper connections with others. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

So, despite just recently switching to District Vet, I've had several cat experiences with them. In short, they are awesome. So convenient being at Eastern Market! I can walk home with kitty sitting in his magnificent, aging Sherpa. And when I left him for his dental, I had breakfast on the way home. They have excellent hours, and their front desk people are super nice. In fact, everyone in the practice is super nice! And speaking of nice, the majority of vets are women! Very cool, in my opinion. And the vets and their techs are also amazing. As noted, we took Grant Mitchell in for his (very late) annual dental. They actually called to ask if I could give Grant his post-surgery meds. I said, "Not unless the meds are liquid," (and that's debatable). Which of course they were pills, a no way. So they dosed him with something else and he's good as new. I really like District Vet.

I stopped by here today. I know nothing about Pilates but I was curious and had a minute. I walked…read moreup to the door where a woman inside who worked there (and seemed to be expecting someone who was not me) stared back through the glass door. I pulled on the door- it was locked. It's a pandemic, I get it. But she stared for a few more beats from behind the glass, our faces a two feet apart, looked me up and down, and then reluctantly opened the door and said "YOU are looking for the hardware store. It's 'OVER THERE' ..... there's a *SIGN*" and in a passive aggressive tone that was really unnecessary gestured toward a big sign on the door that directed people looking for Ace Hardware to go nextdoor. I said "nope, I'm actually looking to learn about Pilates," but it was such a turn off that I turned and left. I assure you, lady, I can read the sign. And your judgments about who you think and perceive to be a potential customer was very disrespectful. It says a lot about the biases and prejudices you don't mask very well. Good luck!

When I arrived, the receptionist was so kind, and asked me about any triggers/fears my dog had. She confirmed the services, and texted me an hour before her pickup time. She smelled wonderful, and they gave her an adorable bandana! They gave me a thorough rundown of how she did, and the following day, they sent me several photos (all great quality) and really detailed "report card" of how she did, including what foods she was motivated by, the fact that they used towels vs a drier, how she did with everything -- pretty much anything you need to know! The only downside is that it seems a bit on the pricier side, but absolutely worth it. They have plenty of services, and I opted for the healthy skin and coat treatment and blueberry facial on top of the basic grooming, so that of course brought the price up. But I will absolutely be bringing my dog here again!

I signed up for the one week trial and had a great time! I was only able to attend four classes,…read morebut enjoyed each one. The instructors were really helpful and gave me some modification options. It would probably help to have some background knowledge of common lifts, but the instructors show the movements and they play on video screens if you need it. Everyone attending was generally in their own zone, so there isn't a lot of chatting because you really focus on getting the exercises done in the set times. I will say that the classes go by super quickly because you're always moving. Cons: The programming is set for the whole month. So each day of the week has its set program and you do that each week for the whole month. For me, this would get old (I really need variety). On the plus side, it does mean you get to see active gains throughout the month. The membership plan is a little pricey. I get why it costs so much, since they do have to cover rent and you only really attend during the class sessions. It isn't a type of gym where you just drop in when you want to use certain equipment. The unlimited monthly membership is $299, but in reality you are getting 30 or 31 classes depending on the month. Since the classes are the same all day, it is unlikely you would do two classes in a day, right? So the pricing is about $10/class if you do the unlimited monthly pass and you go every day. Some of the equipment was pretty smelly. I was at one station that honestly made me gag a little... I think the bench or maybe the dumbells had never been thoroughly cleaned with a bleach solution.
