My daughter practicing arm movements while Mr. Darren holds the floating dumbell.

I was so glad to be able to get private lessons for my daughter. I got a 5 pack of 30-minute lessons for $160 at the member rate (we are switching over to group now at $100/month for twice a week lessons) which I thought was a fair pric to pay for private. I knew private would be more expensive but my five year old has had a bit of trauma with water in her life (one was a swim school when she was really little and another was thinking she could swim but she couldn't so she sunk for a second) and she was terrified to get back in the water back in May. Mr. Darren was great with Sadie. I was able to explain to him the issues she's had and the first lesson it took him less than five minutes to get her in the water by her own choice. For reference, it took me half an hour at home... Anyway, she progressed quickly in acclimating to the pool again. Darren helped her gain so much confidence. I remember after one of the lessons she literally told me "I love Mr. Darren! He gives me confidence!". We ended up doing three round of 5 lessons before realizing she was totally ready for group. In the private lessons she learned confidence, blowing bubbles, getting her whole face in the water, holding breath, assisted floating, kicking, wall jumps, pre-swim arm movements. She wasn't able to jump into the pool without holding hands, but Mr. Darren and I worked out some accommodations for her to feel successful. She also wasn't able to submerge her whole head under water yet but that really doesn't have anything to do with the instructor. She's super stubborn. No matter what, she got lots of encouragement and connection in her lessons and that was exactly what she needed. I'm looking forward to her learning more skills in the group lessons now that she's conquered the water again.

This is where the man will come and play their soccer games during the week. This center and facility is really amazing humongous plenty to do.

When you're looking for any type of school, you want to make sure the instructors treat your kids…read moreas if they were their own. Today, multiple staff did that for my daughter. We've been going to this school since they were in Fullerton, and they've always been great. My daughter started with Mr Nori and he's one of her favorite instructors. She's gone through a few instructors and we've never had a bad experience. My son now attends the school too. This morning, my daughter had a make up class and had to go into a different swim lane with a new teacher. She's been apprehensive about leaving her current school and starting kinder next year, and the emotions came out today. She started crying and holding onto me when she saw the new lane and instructor and said she doesn't want new things. Within seconds, Mr Scott came over and began comforting her asking if she'd like to see her other instructor Mayumi. Mayumi wasn't even dressed to go in the water, but rolled up her jeans and sat in another lane with her. Mr Nori came by to say hi and comfort her, and Mr Christopher gave her a private lesson for a few minutes while she adjusted. He eventually asked her if she wanted to join him in the new lane with the new instructor, and she said yes and was happy the rest of the time. Mayumi also came back to check on her. This is the level of care any parent looks for in a school and I highly recommend coming here.

Our kids were excited to see the new facility and enjoyed everything it had to offer during their first visit. The motion activated splash pad was a hit with our 7 yr old while he waited for his class to start. The swim suit dryers and plentiful changing stalls are very convenient. The viewing room is also a very nice added touch to the facility. All the instructors have been great over the years at Fullerton and we were told we'll see some at the Placentia location as well. They are located in a large shopping center with plenty of parking.

Now that our little guy (7 years old) goes to "Nick YL", he's turning into quite the swimmer. In…read morejust 20 minutes at a time, and often with a swim buddy (one other person in a group lesson), Nick is able to help him make huge gains in his strokes. Our son has been able to swim for a while, but it was more a combination of freestyle kicks and "big arms" with a lift of the head to breathe. This works fine if you're trying to have fun in the pool. But this is NOT efficient. And we really wanted him to gain some speed. Well, we are getting that with Nick YL. We are truly amazed at the progress and the small tweaks that he makes for huge improvement. Like Nick will tell him to be looking down or glue his ear to his arm and suddenly his stroke is way better. Or he'll move his arms a certain way so our little guy can feel a difference or give him a pull as Nick tells him what to do...it's pretty amazing. The pool is located inside LA Fitness and the facility is not super clean. For example, don't put your coffee cup down on the window sill or you might get a mouthful of cobwebs. But we're only there for 20 minutes and for our purposes it works. Last note: they used to have changing tents and for whatever reason, these are now gone. So I recommend getting a swim parka for after the lesson. We dry with a towel first, then pop the parka on, so we can keep the car seat dry for the ride home.

Our daughter Camila spent a year training at NXTLVL Sport and Fitness and loved every second of it!…read moreThe program made a huge difference in her flag football and soccer skills--her speed, agility, and confidence have grown tremendously. Her favorite coach was Brody, but she also loved training with Coach Sam, Devonte, Joe, and Mike. Each coach pushed her to improve while keeping every session fun and encouraging. Camila had to take a short break because of her busy schedule now that flag football season has started, but she's so excited to put everything she learned at NXTLVL into action with her new club team. Thank you to the entire NXTLVL team for all your support and for creating such a positive, motivating environment for young athletes!

The space is clean, well run, and set up perfectly for youth training. What stood out most was the environment. It's competitive but still positive, and the kids were always excited to be there. The trainers do a great job keeping things organized while pushing players to work hard and improve. You can tell they care about development, not just running kids through drills. If you're looking for a gym where players can get better, build confidence, and enjoy the process, NXTLVL is a great choice. We're glad we trained here and would absolutely recommend it to other families and teams. We are MOST DEFINITELY coming back in the offseason.
