They are preparing the student to compete well in the competition. The sport helps build up each student's confidence and makes them more independent.

My child enjoys coming to group classes and private lessons. Because of this, his goal is to become a professional fencer.

When we finally squared away on the appointment he requested that I remind him the day before of the appointment even though that's HIS job (I'm not paid to be his secretary). Then I drove 45 mins to the business (specified in the Groupon) and after ringing the doorbell and calling, he finally tells me the business is in Pasadena!!!!!!! Then he had the audacity to say that he "told me it was in Pasadena" which was 100% false. Do NOT go to this person. There's many reputable sword fencing places in the surrounding area, put your money towards these places instead.

Our daughters were introduced to fencing through a summer recreation class in Santa Clarita. At the…read moretime, my wife and I knew little about the sport and were referred to Swords by the summer instructor. New to the sport, we found that there are several prominent clubs in the LA area and found to our delight that Swords Fencing Studio has the best coaches in region if not the state. Coach Tigran and Coach Sorah are amazing at their craft and come with impressive credentials and are nationally and internationally recognized. Kids as far as Antelope Valley to San Diego have traveled several nights a week to be coached by these coaches and to fence with their students. Although my daughters (14 and 8) have just begun, I can see their progress in one year under the tutelage of these coaches. As with other sports, there are many challenges and sacrifices in the sport of fencing and we have found that the kids, their parents and the coaches at Swords are different from other clubs. They have been so supportive of one another and have created an atmosphere that is both competitive and comfortable. They do things the right way and teach their students to do likewise. This is not normal in amateur sports as any parent involved knows. If you are looking to start your child in fencing, please consider sending them to Swords Fencing Studio. You can be assured that they will be coached by world-class instructors and fence with kids who are excellent fencers.

Instead of them understanding and allowing me to reschedule for the following week, they told me too bad.

Next time, I'll ask my three year old 24 hours before If she plans to have a tantrum. Definitely not a place for kids younger than 5. Don't waste your money.

I was warned of the negatives such as the potential packed parking, being next to a metro station, and signs telling people not to blow their nose in pool areas (didn't think people are doing that!). Glad going in it seems very nice! The staff are around and with the signs, they are showing they are aware and telling people to follow rules. Machines may be broken, some don't turn on or have broken handles. Plenty of weights and other equipment, I see a large group playing basketball a lot, a dance room with groups, and classes. In certain days it'll be packed so machines might not be accessible. Restrooms are clean, I haven't been into a dirty stall and they have stations for people to use paper towels and spray bottles to clean machines before and after usage. I think it's a great gym, granted I don't come everyday to experience perhaps the warnings, still good! Will keep coming here

I have come to this gym on and off throughout the years. It used to be a very nice gym, but these…read moredays, it is completely the opposite. Most employees do not acknowledge or greet you when you walk in. I believe there are transients who come here to work out and shower. The locker room is disgusting, smells bad, and has no AC circulation. The lockers are falling apart on the inside, with chipped and exposed particle board. The toilets and urinals are disgusting, as you can see in the photos from other reviews. Most of the treadmills are not working, and the gym area is small. The basketball area is probably larger than the actual gym area. I'm surprised this gym is in such poor condition, especially considering the area it is located in.

Highly recommend Kids Klub to any parent looking for a nurturing place for their little one!

If it's your first time, I would recommend starting out with some private to make the most of your classes going forward. I have really enjoyed Pilates as a whole body workout.

The instructor had clear instructions and she walked us through how to use the different machines and equipment, how the routines work the different muscles, and how to properly breathe as we move. There were three of us in the intro class at the time. Unfortunately, my friend was a couple of minutes late so they had her reschedule her intro class. They seem to be stricter on time compared to other studios but I get it. The facilities look well-kept and they have a hydration station and the bathrooms in the back. The cubbies are in the front as well as grip socks for purchase if you need them. Parking is easy and they have Chuck E Cheese as well as the Habit right next door. If I were just a little bit closer to this location, I would consider a membership but I travel a lot for work. The enrollment fee may be a barrier for folks but they may waive the enrollment fee during certain times of the year.

What's great to know is that you'll find support there.

I was happy to see that Kaizen offers a really great deal for a two-week trial package that includes unlimited cardio kickboxing and TRX! This was perfect for me to try out classes to get a feel of things before making a longer commitment. The regular monthly fee is very reasonable too! The fact that the monthly fee covers unlimited kickboxing and TRX motivates me to make the most of it and go routinely. I'm a 30 something year old, and it's nice to see that both kickboxing and TRX at Kaizen suit people of all ages and backgrounds. Signing up for classes that fit my work schedule is easy and flexible through the app. Kickboxing is an excellent workout. It really gets the heart rate up and the sweat going. What pleasantly surprised me was trying TRX for the first time because I had zero familiarity with it. TRX is easy for me to follow because of the pacing. It really is a full body workout. I find TRX more doable than pilates, which I personally find too difficult. TRX is fun using straps as a workout tool, also making it pretty unique. Both kickboxing and TRX are 45-minute classes, and it feels like the perfect amount of time. Classes aren't long, and that allows me to have the energy to go multiple times per week. The location is very convenient for me and there's plenty of parking. Jody, the instructor for both kickboxing and TRX, is an inspiration because she teaches so many classes and is a great instructor/model! She's friendly, patient, personable, and approachable. She helps you get the techniques and correct postures for moves, so she'll also keep you accountable! Also, I've found that the people who attend classes are very friendly and cool. There's zero judgement nor egos from what I observe! In summary, Kaizen is great! You get to enjoy classes and enjoy seeing/feeling yourself get more fit and healthy! Give it a try if you're curious. You've got nothing to lose, except fat and calories!
