My experience as a first time customer at this Double J stables was very unpleasant. I didn't know…read moreit was mandatory to wear boots while riding. I never received an email stating equipment needed and I was never told I must bring boots. The stable manager who goes by the name of CC was condescending, dismissive, hypersensitive and seriously lacks customer service skills. She did not make me feel welcome. I took time out of my busy schedule for my lesson and drove all the way from Chicago that day and she didn't care. She refused to do anything to lessen the blow of me waisting time, gas, & money. If offered some type of compensation like one free introductory ride, half price upon your return, or SOMETHING to show understanding, I would have happily rescheduled to come back another day with boots. However, I chose to leave due to her behavior and unaccommodating nature. If you want a stable that appreciates your patronage, and cares about you the customer, go somewhere else. There are plenty of other stables that will welcome you and treat you like a valued customer.

I appreciate the fact that I can bring his name up to my son, and he straightens up his behavior right away. It's scary how well that works. Plus, my kids love Taekwondo. They enjoy their classes and the challenges that are presented to them. Especially during these last 2 years, my kids have really embraced it. It has given them confidence and kept them focused on different activities outside of Taekwondo as well. They have learned to approach problems in a better way. I appreciate the discipline it brings out of them and can see an overall improvement to how they approach Taekwondo now versus when they first joined. Instructor Irina is amazing with them. She has worked with them long enough to know what areas need improvement and focuses on that. This definitely is not an easy task, especially on Zoom. Thank you Master Park and Instructor Irina, for being positive influences on their lives during these formative years!

I have never in my life had such a terrible experience until riding at AZ Acres. Simultaneously, my…read moredaughter took a lesson while I casually rode. The instructor was rude, insulting, and belittling to both my 7 year old daughter and me. I made it very clear that she's not an experienced rider and needs more instruction as she's learning. Olivia's tone was short, accusatory, and impatient. My daughter left in tears. I cannot stress enough how much this place should be avoided.

Look, if you're an adult in Plainfield/Shorewood/Joliet and you're thinking about taking lessons…read morebecause you want to compete or you just want to become an all around better rider, this is the place to do it. And they can do group lessons if you want to take a spouse, friend, child, stranger you just met, etc. etc. The facilities themselves are very nice and the stables are always pretty dang clean. They have an indoor arena too so that's a huge plus in these winter months. There are quite a few grooms here so if you have any questions you always have someone to ask, but beyond that Megan does a great job of walking you step by step through tacking up and care to ensure you're doing it right and are using the correct equipment on each horse. The lessons are top notch. You work with different horses week to week and Megan is excellent at giving corrections while your riding. Lessons differ from day to day and they offer both English and Western, but Megan does an amazing job at remembering where your at and what you still need work on. I'm never pushed to do something I'm not comfortable with, but the option to push yourself is always there (if you've shown you'd be able to handle it). I always feel like my safety is considered while riding here which I can only imagine would be even more reassuring if you have your kids riding. Also worth noting, they offer summer camps for the kiddos.

I would really recommend enrolling - you will not be disappointed!

For ex. all of the water bottle holders on the ellipticals are broken, leg machine Velcro strap doesn't work, etc -Parents don't respect not allowing kids (young kids after daycare closes) in the cardio room and it doesn't seem safe them running around in there -Kids classes end at age 14 but all of the workout classes for adults start at 16+. My daughter is 15 and I don't want to keep asking for exceptions.. -Cost is too high for what the facility offers Overall I think this place is best for families or parents with young children. Just was not for me! Also no one ever asked why I wanted to cancel they just cancelled my membership (easy process btw which I appreciated). You'd think a place would want feedback to improve in the future possibly, but nope.
