As soon as I sat down he was staring me up and down. I wasn't sure if this is what he was doing and I just minded my own business. Well he was and wouldn't leave me alone and he asked me if he could use the machine. I told him no because I literally just sat down. This guy was really weird and wouldn't leave me alone so I recorded him. He went and grabbed management Scott the director and Scott came out yelling at me asking me how many reps I had. I told Scott what had happened and he refused to listen to me. During and After this incident this predator person would not leave. I politely asked him to leave me alone in front of Scott and he still didn't leave. Scott just stood there as if I were the aggressor. Luckily there were 3 woman who witnessed what happened and one stood up to this strange and scary guy, and the other one said he did the same to her, and another said she was glad I was here and didn't want me to leave. Scott was so aggressive towards me and so rude. I do believe him to be racist and sexist as well as the other men who stood around and didn't do anything and basically sided with this very dangerous man harassing me. This wasn't my first aggressive encounter here as a man yelled at me at the pool. Once again another woman witnessed and saw what happened and was there to counsel me. Scott the director is a very dangerous person and people need to be careful of him. It's funny that you would rather erase or hide the review versus taking accountability. Scott you are a very biased person who does not know how to handle problems. If anyone else has a problem like this, please do not be afraid to complain and ask to speak to Andrew or a lawyer. Please contact me. if you have any questions or concerns thank you.

We learned a lot about the environment- including lots of information about plants that I look forward to imparting to my friends back in Boston. Adam was just a joy - he shared his passion for the outdoors as well as his interest in theatre. I can't recommend this hiking group enough - if you want a memorable Asheville experience - there is no better way to learn about the environment and get in a good hike than with Adam and Blue Ridge Hiking Company. Incredible experience!

Bev not only guided our hikes, but taught us an amazing amount about the different plants, flowers, and yes gorgeous fungi (that we would have missed on our own). Bev's knowledge of the forest and her hiking expertise made each step a wonder. Even if you are a seasoned, experienced hiker, you have much to learn from Bev and the Blue Ridge Hiking Company.

I absolutely LOVE this park. Hands down one of the best hidden gems in the area. Don't let the…read morespooky warehouse scare you away, you'll see gravel parking on the left, keep going to the paved lot. There is a beautiful gravel walking trail that goes along the Swannanoa River + the two lakes. There are some walking trails around but you'll have to look for those. They have basketball courts, a playground, BBQ grills, picnic tables, covered areas, baseball fields... you can also fish in the lake but swimming is not permitted. I have seen people swim in the river/creek I would just advice you to be pretty careful because sometimes it's moving pretty fast + has deep areas with currents. I'm pretty sure you also need a fishing license or permit. There are signs posted all over with the rules. There are also some signs with nature information to make it fun for the kiddos! Plenty of poop bags + places to drop them off so please clean up after your doggo! Everyone walking the trail is pretty nice, they mostly stick to themselves since COVID. But there is plenty of space for everyone and most do wear mask. Beware of the geese! They are feisty and not afraid of anything. They have gone after my dog Lucy several times, now she goes after them. Really love having this place in our back yard!

And if you look closely for the hidden hiking trails you could have a good afternoon adventure. This park has plenty of tables for summer day cookouts. It also has a basket ball court which could use some work. Is really hard to replace the netting on the hoop? Also this park has a baseball field. The park is lacking in the playground department. It looks like they made the playground for a toddler, which is ok but I'm sure older kids wouldn't think to much of it. Which is a shame. A park should have something to do for all ages. The park is maintained decently well. And even the on site bathrooms where clean. 4 stars for the crappy playground and the Basketball court.

I was intrigued by the offer on the ad for a boot camp type work out. Located on Riverside Drive, you might miss them if you don't look carefully, but once you find them I think you'll be happy. The staff is uber friendly and helpful and the programs are very good - group as well as personal type training. We did a month program which was great, but in the end we decided to to another round of p90x, which isn't any reflection upon the gym.....just not the right time or in our budget at that moment.

The class II and III rapids were the perfect size for us. It was slightly challenging in a few places but nothing terribly difficult. It was absolutely exhilarating! Our guide Eric was incredible! He was super knowledgeable and really seemed to know the river very well. We all felt really lucky to have him as a guide. After watching a few other color rafts/companies get stuck continuously, we knew we chose the right people for this adventure. 10/10 will definitely be back again. Things we were glad to have... glasses chords.

We had so much fun ebiking in Banff last summer that i thought it would be fun to do in Asheville…read moretoo. I booked the easy ebike ride which was a 12 mile bike ride into Tennessee. We had a 2pm start (1:30pm arrival) and were the only people registered so private ebike tour for us. TJ was our guide and he was training someone so we ended up with 2 guides, which was great. Both of them were very knowledgable about Asheville, nature (i learned what poison ivy looks like) and biking. It took me a few minutes to get my ebike bearings, but then were off. The first part of the ride was on gravel, which was a little tricky, but it was all good when we hit the road. It also started raining and we got pretty wet...i couldn't decide if the rain made the ride miserable or more fun. Maybe both! The biking itself wasn't too hard and honestly we probably could have done it on regular bikes and gotten a workout, but i do find ebiking super fun. We stopped a few times, which helped with our sore butts and learned about the area. A few hours later we said goodbye to our new friends and headed back to Asheville (about an hour away). They also offer many other activities like white water rafting so recommended if you're looking for a little adventure.
