Thank you for being what exactly Crossfit is supposed to be, an open minded community full of positive vibes, exercise and fun.

I haven't found any other gymnastics gym that offers adult classes in Champaign so I think that's really special. I was able to regain many of the skills that I had when I was a kid in a fairly short period of time. Although I had previous gymnastics experience, it's not required. Some of my classmates were brand new to gymnastics and were able to get a lot out of the class as well. If you're looking to learn a new skill or just have fun I highly recommend CGA!

I was told no exceptions. so I walked away from this so called "family place" and they walked away from over $700.00. Think twice before donating ANY money to this "non-profit". maybe the YMCA doesn't believe in being profitable because they don't have to worry about the bottom line. In addition, the turnover in their childcare area is puzzling. My child's 3 favorite young female employees were let go or quit. Be careful who is watching your children. What a sad, sad place.

Pekin has a…read moretumbling place geared towards what I would consider the highly competitive, at least in my opinion that my child tried and didn't like. Pekin Park Dept. has a tumbling program that my child attended prior to Aerial Athletics and loved it, but could quickly outgrow. Before trying both places in Pekin my child went to two places in Peoria that were larger and had more options. Aerial Athletics brought these options to Pekin, and at a competitive price. My child is loving Aerial Athletics and is progressing, which is something that can be a struggle at bigger places because of the class sizes and lack of knowledge by the teachers. We have not experienced that here at Aerial Athletics. The person running Aerial Athletics is extremely involved with the classes and training/overseeing new teachers. They use a parent portal to see the schedule and register for classes. Their Facebook page is utilized to get out reminders and events. They are highly responsive when you contact them. So far Aerial Athletics seems to be a great benefit added to the Pekin community.

Go take a walk across the stone bridge. The park also has a mini golf course and softball fields among other things. Also check out a preserved steam locomotive. There's also a pavilion for those wanting to have a picnic. Has lots of activities throughout the year including festivals and fireworks. It's located east of Morris Avenue and south of Wood Street.

Sholem provided the perfect spot for this morning's swim! While I can't speak to this facility during a busier time, I can speak to my experience in the pools earlier hours. I was able to walk up to their admission desk and, after talking briefly with the friendly desk worker, I paid my $6 to swim and headed into the locker room. During my swim, there was never more than 4 people in the pool and I was able to swim in one of their 3 lanes for most of my swim. Additionally, while the air was a little chilly this morning, the pool temperature was perfect! I thoroughly enjoyed my swim and would recommend this spot to anyone looking. I also eyed a pretty awesome lazy river that I'd like to take a few laps through if I find myself itching to swim again before I head back to St. Louis!

Review Visit: October 22nd, 2014…read more Holiday Park was a nice stop in Bloomington. It came at the tail end of a day of exploring a lot of parks in Bloomington. From what I remember, it was a pretty nice park. Bigger than I was expecting. There is a pool/swimming area for people of all ages to enjoy. It was closed for the season when I visited. There was a big lake adjacent to it that was nice to walk along. It would've been cool to experience the water park, but there is always another day. If you are in the area and the season is just right, take your family/kids/friends/strangers (okay, maybe not strangers) to the park. Between the pool, playground area, a lake to walk along, its a nice little gem of a place to visit.
