My kids are starting week 4 of ISR Swim School and are loving it. I cannot believe how much…read moreprogress they have made! ISR is not your typical children's swim school. The focus is on swim survival, not learning the back stroke. Children from ages 6 months (yes, 6 months!) to 6 years are taught to swim underwater with their eyes open, and float on their backs. You have got to see the videos to believe it. Check out their site http://www.isrswimschool.com My daughters are ages 22 months and 4 years. Their instructor Jens is amazing. He is patient and caring and genuinely cares about your kids. He tailors the lessons to each individual child and works with them to accomplish each goal. I am so happy that I enrolled them in these classes! I think it's one of the best decisions I have made for my kiddos! 5+ stars for ISR!

I enrolled my daughter in ISR when she was 18 months (2009), a bit hesitant since I thought it was…read moretoo early for a child to learn how to swim. But, because we spend a lot of time near water, I thought it would be a good idea to at least try to see if she can float. Her instructor, Aisha was just starting out in Kunia and was very good with children and patient since she's a mother herself. My daughter is now 3 years old, is in an advanced swimming class and loves swimming. The ISR class helped build her confidence not only in water, but in school and other areas of her development. My son is now 18 months and just started ISR again with Aisha. He's a much faster learner and really loves the water. We're already talking about getting a pool in the back yard soon!

This fitness center probably makes fives times as much money as any other gym in bend. They charge…read more65-75$ a month. All the gym products are old and falling apart. The locker rooms are absolutely disgusting by the end of the day. They don't have male cleaners here. That means no one is cleaning the men's locker rooms all day. The classes posted on the doors don't match up to the classes online. They do not turn on the heat in the hallways. You go from the sauna to a freezing cold hallway. Feels like you're gonna get sick. This gym is basically a daycare center mixed with an old people's home. They are always having events and closing the pools. They close early without notice and the hours here are horrible. There are homeless people lurking in the parking lots and come into use the facilities. Things get stolen as well. I cannot wait for there to be real adult fitness club in bend. Because juniper is garbage.

Go at least ten min early though it fills up. I like the home made granola bars at the desk snacks. Also the lap swim is great. Both 25 and 50 meters. I think 25 is easier and allows more swimmers to have their own lanes but they switch it up. I'm thin and the outdoor pool is a few degrees too cold for me. I'm uploading pictures of the indoor pools only which are great temperatures.

While I consider the ability to travel a great blessing, I have to admit that certain complications…read moretypically ensue from being away from home. One of those challenges can be how to continue your workout routine when on the road. While I don't have specific recommendations for how to alleviate this situation in all cities, I can certainly provide some assistance when it comes to Bend, Oregon. The Athletic Club of Bend offers numerous opportunities for you to get that workout in when you're in town for a visit. Their amenities include 7 indoor tennis courts, an indoor running track, indoor and outdoor pools, a large spa, cardio equipment, weight room, a full basketball court, and 4 racquetball/squash courts. While those amenities don't necessarily make this place unique, there are two characteristics that do set this place apart. First, they openly accept visitors to the club. Many clubs are very closed minded about this, but not so here. Sure, you'll have to pay a guest fee, but it was very reasonable. Second, I found the members here to be genuinely welcoming. I chose to utilize the club for some tennis and I felt immediately accepted by a group of members who have a standing weekly match. After just 2 hours together I felt like a part of the group and left with names and phone numbers for the next time that I visit Bend. Sure, you can come up with an excuse to not workout while in Bend, but that excuse can't be that there's no facilities that you have access to or there are no friendly people here to connect with. And that's...Henry's Take. #bendexcercise #bendtennis #bendgym
