The last two ladies I spoke with (Courtney) when cancelling and (Aubrey) who called today are get it done type of ladies. They offered to comp me for some time, (which I politely declined) but I won't be leaving this gym at all. I asked her to toss my cancellation to the side and thanked her for giving me a call, I love the atmosphere here and with some proper cleaning it's going to be even better. Thank you guys for being down to earth, owning the mistake (we are all humans) and implementing new cleaning protocol so that members can feel good about coming here and using the amenities offered. TFFC is your local family gym, the call back shows they care and they will address their members concerns. Thank you guys!

3 generations started with Elsa Zoll, ballerina with incredible tenacity. Her life with dance began…read morein a Japanese concentration camp. The teacher was a dancer that taught out of a wheel chair. Elsa immediately loved ballet. Her life became dance. Her mother was a brilliant musician and passed her craft onto her daughter. Everything they endeavored, they spent countless hours and extreme dedication to reach perfection. Elsa also loves people. She went out in weaverville ca and rounded up interested students and started her school using gymnasiums and open buildings to bring students together. She taught ballet and became a popular feature in weaverville. She brought her industrious nature and family of six to Redding to open her first school. She was always training and attending master classes all over the state to bring the best to her students. I was one of her students and her daughters good friend. She impressed me from a young age at her ability to teach well and to pass the gift to her children. Her children are some of the most industrious folk I know. The love of dance and teaching dance in her family was evident and they all learned tap and jazz and could choreograph big groups and small groups and solos. The passion coming from the family drove them to be "the place to go."I took my babies to mommy and me classes and from there, they grew up in that studio. My youngest daughter won countless competitions and at 38 years old has a lucrative business in dance and choreography. She's worked for big named people and is well known in the business. She's passed along her dance education to many others that are very successful. She has to attribute success to Yvonne, Elsa and the many quality people they vetted and hired to teach in their studio. Stop by or phone to meet Yvonna, you will not meet a harder working, unbiased owner. She has your children's future in her heart. She desires success for all of her students. There is no political BS in her studio, she helps all to reach their goals!

We were left in the front lobby with excited toddlers and confused parents, with absolutely no communication or explanation. We had over 6 toddlers waiting in a Lobby and over 15 adults. Not ok. This was so unprofessional and upsetting, especially for young toddlers who were looking forward to a party. A call or email, or honestly any notice at all would have made a huge difference, but we received nothing. And WE were the ones who had to track down the owner to ask why no one was there after waiting an hour. I would not recommend this business to anyone planning an event, especially something as important as a young child's birthday party. Reliability and communication is a bare minimum expectation and this experience fell far below that. This was not ok.

The waiting room is full of caddy moms. They talk bad about the owners, about each other and even about the young dancers. It is a appalling. The facility is filthy and extremely disorganized. My daughter learned dances, but absolutely no fundamentals. If you are not part of their Fusion Dance Company (competition team) you basically don't matter. The recital is simply a money maker for them- 4 shows over 3 days, if your child is in more than one class, or if you have multiple kids taking classes, expect to make a weekend of it, and plan to purchase tickets for each performance, so they can show off the fusion team.

Update: I grew a new appreciation for WaterSprites after participating in CARD swim lessons. Don't…read moreget me wrong, I LOVE that there is a more affordable option offered for the Chico area and that it's much cheaper than WaterSprites (by about half), but being able to go into an indoor temperature controlled pool without having to put on sunscreen and be blinded by the sun and having all the changing tables and cubbies is just a far superior and more calm experience. At the PV pool where CARD lessons are being held, they have a nothing other than a narrow bench around the border of a large room. It's not like I can change my baby ahead of time because swim diapers only hold in solids, so I find this extremely inadequate for the age group the swim lessons are offered for. My impression is that the instructors at WaterSprites are also much more specialized in working with the younger babies and kids. I guess I'm more into the bougie over the budget experience, LOL. Water sprites also did end up finding us a spot in the other class that worked for our new schedule, so that was much appreciated. That being said, our experience in the Tuesday 1 PM class versus the Tuesday 9 AM class was just totally different. In the Tuesday 1 PM class, the temperatures in the pool and the room were exactly where they needed to be, and there was only the baby class going at that time. When we changed to the 9 AM class due to our new schedule conflict (this was in January), we learned that the pool and the room were much cooler because it hadn't had a time to warm up. There also seemed to be another small class operating at the same time. With the babies, I was of the opinion that the temperature being high enough and having the very calm, lower stimulating environment were critical. Ultimately, we did end up canceling our membership because it was definitely a push for my husband to take her in the morning before work, and then to be confronted with temperatures that were still a bit too cold and an environment that was a bit too overstimulating for our baby (6 months old at the time), it was just.... Not quite "there" enough to continue at that age and time of our lives and at that premium price. That is not to say that they didn't do a good job. While there is some improvement that could be made, overall, you cannot get that same service elsewhere in Chico and we would probably return to water sprites if/when the stars align

They have good smoothies, as well as a good selection of wine and beer. The only suggestion I would make is to have a small deli (that also offers vegan options). Maybe offer sammys, salads, and wraps? I've been recommending people try them out for a week to see for themselves.

Equipment consists of a dozen yoga mats, some strength bands, a half dozen kettle bells taped to look like purses, and chin-up bars. The gym does not have bathroom facilities such as showers, but it does have a water cooler. I can understand and even overlook the spartan conditions considering that it's such a fledgling program. However the uninsulated building is a problem. Remember the scene from Rocky where Stallone exercises inside a meat locker punching away at a side of beef? Conditions inside the gym in the mornings aren't that far off! Don't get me wrong, I'm no wimp. Heck, I just got back from a winter camping trip over New Years where I endured freezing temperatures for just under a week. The problem with the gym is the combination of sweating and cold combined; it's just not good. Obviously having just joined, I have no idea what summers are like, but I can't image they are pleasant in Chico's triple digit heat! The other limitation of the gym are its hours. Kaia FIT holds four classes a day, and that is it. Unless a class is being held, the gym is not open for members to exercise. This is far from being a full service fitness facility, and considering what you pay, it isn't a great deal. The one feature Kaia does provide is a single sex environment; men are not allowed. But unless you really have issues exercising in mixed company, I would take my money elsewhere. If honest local poster like me are getting their reviews scrubbed from Yelp, I wouldn't trust them.

Been meaning to write this review for awhile…read more This place is awful. We signed our seven year old up for ukulele lessons and he was so excited! We got a teacher that honestly just sucked. We had signed up and prepaid for thirty minute lessons once a week. Not only was he flakey, but when he didn't postpone our lessons, he was mostly late to them. He didn't make up the time at the end of the lesson, but often also cut the lesson short. If it wasn't one or the other, it was both. He also consistently came unprepared. Spent a large portion of the lesson printing out sheet music. Why hadn't he done that previously? I couldn't tell you. Then he would chat with our son asking HIM to choose the music. Our son just wanted to learn, he didn't care what they played. And even when he did select something, the teacher would then spend the remainder of their time attempting to search for and transcribe the music. We attempted to reach out to the owner several times. Our names and number were taken each time, usually without a call back. When we did get calls back, it was from the manager or from a woman who could have also been a manager, both of whom were very rude. When I finally spoke to the owner, he seemed to want to be proactive about it. Offered to compensate us for several lessons that we either never received or that were only given partially due to tardiness or incompetence. He also switched us to a different teacher. Apparently we weren't the only ones with complaints about the other guy, so they fired him. The new teacher, Alex, is probably the only person who provided a positive experience for us at this place. I wish he'd just do lessons on his own as we would never recommend anyone go through this place. In the end, we never saw a penny of a refund. No lessons up ended up being credited as promised. And worst of all, they tried to claim we owed them money. For what, you ask? Lessons that were never given while they claimed to be "working all of this out". If I could give this place zero stars, I would. You're better off learning an instrument from your family friend or your dad with mediocre guitar skills from his high school garage band days than you would be at this place.
