    Kar dance competition 2025

    I have been at kick it up for 3 years and have loved it from the beginning. All the teachers and students are really nice, it is really easy to make friends with people there. I have also been on their competition team for 2 years, and have had so much fun hanging out with friends + competing with/against them. Recitals are also extremely fun to watch and dance with your friends.

    Isabel is ahhhmazing! This is my 4th time taking a Zumba class in general but first time with her and she killed it! I had a great dance off lol - Got my whole body pumping and sweating :)

    Receipt indicating location of class at Kick it Up. No mention of virtual.

    I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my review. I have included screenshots as reference to my receipt as well as my call to the studio. Thank you again.

    My daughters have been coming to Kick It Up for a little over 2 years and love the coaches, friends and dances they learn. They are both members of the competition team and love the experiences of competing.

    Kick it up is our second home. It's a great dance studio, teachers are amazing, the staff very friendly,the owner Susan is very sweet. My daughter has been taking classes for almost 6 years , since she was 3, and see her growing as a dancer makes me so proud of her. Can't wait to see her competing on the Dance team!

    The start of the season vs the end of the season.

    Our experience at Kick It Up has only gotten better. It has literally changed our lives. Advice for future dance moms: Choose your community well. Tomorrow we will attend the team banquet with our dance family for our 3rd year. This group is truly special. We are not an exclusive clique of best friends- we even have our fair share of drama- we are together to support and empower our children. We follow our beloved Miss Susan in creating a positive and accepting community. #wearekickitup #waymorethanjustdanceclasses

Everyone here is so sweet and patient with the children, but they also care about proper ballet technique and training. I'm so glad to have found this school for her. After bringing her here, I found they also have lots of classes for adults as well! I have been taking the beginning / intermediate drop in ballet classes and they are fabulous. I danced when I was younger but there are also students who are starting out as adults. The classes are challenging and the teachers are so supportive and kind, while offering helpful corrections.

It's fulfilling and relieving to see my dancer finally find her ballet home (as well as other styles-contemp and jazz classes are her favorites!). Owners Renee and David are talented and just good people. Their staff is wonderful and all have made an impact on my daughter. She's inspired and improving every day! She's also already made good friends and as a matter of fact, having a late dinner together after tonight's Nutcracker rehearsal. If you're looking for knowledge, expertise and mentorship as well as a fun, comfortable and safe studio, this is it. You'll not only see your child grow as a dancer but also as a more confident, focused young person.

    Okay bestie, sit DOWN because we need to talk about Chuze Fitness Cypress…read more I toured MULTIPLE gyms in this area before committing (yes, I made them all work for it, I'm a gym girlie with standards ) and let me tell you... Chuze Cypress said "you may stop looking" and I said okuuuuuurt. This gym is not just clean, it is IMMACULATE. The kind of clean that makes you want to wear your cutest workout fit just to match the energy. And the STAFF? They greet you like you're a regular at your favorite brunch spot. Every. Single. Time. No attitude, no ignoring you while scrolling on their phone...just genuine "welcome, we see you, we're happy you're here" energy. It's giving hospitality. It's giving excellence. It's giving "this is how customer service should ALWAYS be." I genuinely look forward to training here, which is a WHOLE testimony because I do not hype gyms up for fun. Now let's talk about the recovery room because I need everyone to understand: this is not a perk, this is a LIFESTYLE. The air chairs? Sat down and ascended. The compression boots? I have had full-on spiritual experiences in those boots. The sauna? I walk in stressed, I walk out reborn. I have genuinely had to be talked out of moving my mattress in there. 10/10 peace, 0/10 desire to leave. To everyone in Cypress or repping the 562 area...RUN, don't walk. Dis gym is DA ONE and I will not be entertaining alternative opinions at this time. Massive shoutout to Jadyn and the whole management team: y'all run a TIGHT, polished, welcoming ship and it truly shows in every single interaction. You built a staff culture that feels like a warm hug with a side of "let's get you stronger," and that is HARD to do. Chuze Cypress, you didn't just earn a member. You earned a whole hype woman.

    Chuze Fitness is a great health n fitness franchise club. Their machines are clean and modern…read more Space is huge and staff are amazing. Hence, this is my favorite gym. Membership plans are fair and affordable. Collectively, this is a great gym for the people. I highly recommend.

    Rating: 4 / 5 stars…read more As an early morning gym-goer with over 20 years of experience testing out pretty much every major fitness chain, I know what a poorly kept gym looks like--and EōS Fitness in Hawaiian Gardens is a solid, well-run facility. My normal gym time is 5:00 AM, but I woke up especially early this day, which is why I decided to stop by around 3:30 AM on a weekday. For a 24-hour gym, it was impressively clean. In my experience, other 24-hour chains tend to be filthy, neglected, and used more as a pit stop for showers. That is not the case here, from what I witnessed. What worked for me: *True 24-Hour Convenience: Being open 24/7--and especially early on weekends--is a massive plus for my schedule. So many gyms open frustratingly late on Saturday and Sunday mornings. *Great Equipment & Layout: Solid turf and circuit area, plenty of squat racks, lifting platforms, cinema cardio, cycling room, group studio, recovery room with massage chairs, a pool, and even a Kids' Club (which is rare). *"The Backyard": Neat semi-outdoor space filled with equipment. *3:30 AM Vibes: Only 15-20 people were there, so equipment was wide open. The dumbbells weren't put back perfectly, but good enough to my standards. Solid vibe, everyone was there to workout, not socialize. A Note on Timing & Price: At this price point, it's a solid gym and a great value for what you get. Keep in mind: My review is strictly based on my early morning visit. If I came during peak business hours, my review might be different--or maybe even a lot different--when it comes to floor crowding and parking in the shared shopping center lot. But at 3:30 AM, parking was wide open. Why 4 Stars Instead of 5: There isn't a single "wow factor" that makes this place blow every other gym out of the water. Other people's standards might differ if they haven't seen how nasty a gym can get--or how insanely high-end one can be. But at this price and with true 24/7 early access, it's a solid 4-star option.

    love that this place is 24/7 but maybe they need at least one day to close for clean up…read more i would say as a PSA don't even use their lockers unless you want to bring home cockroach infestation. i saw on the water fountain near lockers/restroom a few roaches crawling around but the other two crawled behind the water fountain by the time i took this pic i went to show the guy up front and he just felt embarrassed i could tell. i bought a bottle of water and figured maybe for the inconvenience they might hook me up but that didn't happen. oh well hope nobody drinks out those fountains or tries to fill their canteens with them until they can be sure no roaches are crawling around 3 stars bc they need to clean up and fix the massage chairs/ it's been over a week since they've been broken

    I've been training at the US TAEKWONDO Academy for over a year now. I am a green belt now and I am…read morevery happy I found this studio! Here's my experience over the last year: The studio holds annual parties and get-togethers for all ages. There are many families who participate, even adult students like myself. There are also adult specific events (karaoke, bowling, etc). Grandmaster Park fosters a sense of family community within the studio making everyone feel welcome! Testing opportunities typically occur every two months with specific requirements to qualify for testing. There is a unique system in place to keep us on track and prepare for testing. Our Masters and instructors work hard to make sure we understand what is required. Regular emails and announcements are made on an easily accessible group app, "Band". Fees are dependent on how often we want to attend and affect our ability to advance every two months or so since a certain amount of classes are required to be eligible to test. Grand Master Park provided clear information about the fees process and made sure I understood and got a copy of the policies around payment during enrollment (I took a picture of the paperwork to keep for my records). I'm not sure why others have had different expectations but I personally have had an adequate experience dealing with the financial side of the studio. This is the largest studio in America and GM seems to run a tight ship, which I think is fair. Our Masters and Instructors have different teaching styles and bring different strengths to each class. But they all push you to be your best self by instilling values and knowledge to help you succeed, and make themselves available if you have questions or need help. They offer private lessons too. They teach us that Taekwondo is more than just a sport, it is a lifestyle of self-discipline, trying our best and respecting others - a great approach to life as a kid or adult. And they make sure to have fun too! I joined the studio because I practiced taekwondo in middle school for a short period and wanted to get into regular exercise as a 40 year old acutely aware of the coming years of aging! Every class is different and there are so many things to learn that I'm never bored with what I'm practicing (poomsae, kicking, sparring, conditioning etc). The Instructors regularly incorporate new drills while reinforcing focus on fundamentals. Our Grand Master has run his Taekwondo studio for 38 years, was a US National and Olympic Taekwondo Coach, and holds a record 14 champion titles in Korea from a robust sparring career! He is a huge advocate for health, wellness, self discipline and creating happiness, and encourages us to take care of ourselves, have fun and work hard. I attended the annual Korea Training Academy trip in July 2024 and it was AMAZING. Master Park coordinates with the Korean government who hosts the international academy to give us an opportunity to train where Taekwondo originated! Familes and adult students are all welcome to sign up. He also adds tours specific to our group to see other parts of South Korea while we are there. He has been doing this for going on 20 years!! Overall I'm extremely happy with my experience at the US Taekwondo Academy. I didn't realize how personally this sport and community would affect my life and health. And I've made new friends! I'm always working towards a new goal and feel I have great support from the masters, instructors and other students. I'm so impressed when I see young students work hard and discipline themselves. You get what you put into this, and there is plenty of opportunity for anyone to put in the hard work and focus to feel good about themselves and have fun! I'd definitely recommend this studio!

    THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!!! DONT PUT YOUR CARD ON FILE!!…read more I would not recommend this studio based on my experience with their billing practices. After I canceled our services, I continued to be charged month after month. When I contacted them, I was told that my account had only been "paused," even though my understanding was that I had canceled the services. We have not used their services in months, yet they continued charging my card. What is especially frustrating is that they were aware we had not been attending and still chose not to refund the charges. I do not feel that this was handled honestly or fairly. Be very careful about leaving your card on file with this company. I would strongly recommend keeping a close eye on your statements and confirming in writing that your account is completely canceled, not simply paused. Very disappointed with how this situation was handled and the lack of accountability when I brought the issue to their attention.

    I started working out at Lift two months ago, and I absolutely love it…read more The workouts are effective and efficient, and, if you're a nerd like me, it's interesting to hear Dirk and Chenell talk about how the movements strengthen different muscle groups. They're always nearby to make sure my form is correct, and they never lose patience when I ask them to remind me how to do certain moves. Speaking of supervision, I went to Lift today for the first time in about a week and a half, and I told Chenell that I've been experiencing some pain in my left shoulder. She sent Dirk outside to talk to me about it, and after I described my symptoms, he re-wrote part of my workout and continued to check in to make sure I wasn't in any pain. I felt super safe and respected, and there was ZERO pressure for me to push through any discomfort. Hiiiighly recommend this place!

    Worst of the worst. Dirk is an angry, passive aggressive old man with Roid Rage who loves to put…read morepeople down and touch women inappropriately. I've heard him say verbatim to a woman next to me, " that's because you're stupid". Another time " yeah, you're an idiot". He's demeaned me many times. I just accepted it as part of The Lift Silverlake Experience. One day I came in and said "nice new shirt and it looks fancy and you look nice.. which he replied to me "what about you? You look like you just rolled out of bed and put on dirty clothes". Which is hilarious because I was fresh out of the shower with fresh clean clothes.. I always showered before my workout because Dirk likes to make fun of people who smell. I was giving him a compliment but he doesn't know how to take it, so he spews hate. After that interaction he banned me from his paid social club. I said nothing except what I mentioned above and when questioned why I was banned, they simply said they didn't want to talk about it. I attached Dirk's email banning me so you can see that obviously I was a very good client and they never had issues in the past. I was never late. I never missed a session. I never acted inappropriately ever.. I spent over $6,000 dollars training with them. Dirk is a very troubled person and I hope he finds help for his mental issues. I wish everyone at Lift Silverlake the best and it would be a beautiful place without Dirk there with all his hate and spite. God bless and always sending prayers for peace, comfort and grace. Dirk and Chenell... People are paying you for a service. Not to be put down, bullied or traumatized. It's not just bad business, you're messing with peoples' lives, their goals and their ambitions. Please stop crushing people's passion for exercise. Lastly, he doesn't allow black people at the gym. He prefers white women and beta white men. If you don't get contacted back by them it's because they profiled your age, sex, and/or race with their interview process and didn't like you..

    Accommodating, professional, caring, and motivating!…read more After dancing for over a decade as a child, more than anything I had hoped our daughter would choose any other activity. After months of begging, I finally caved and allowed her to take "just one" class in 2015. Upon the recommendation of some friends, we chose CSDA. Our experience could not have been more different than mine was as a child. Communication is excellent. Advance notice is given for all recitals, rehearsals, and any changes. The entire team of instructors puts the needs of their students first and foremost, working to make sure each student reaches their best potential. Students are moved up levels when they are ready, and not a moment before. Those interested in joining more advanced groups audition for them by invitation, and I have personally witnessed the staff upholding ethics on more than one instance. Oh, and costumes are always appropriate. When COVID hit, we were honestly crushed. We feared the worst, since it definitely isn't one class any longer. Instead, the team of teachers pivoted immediately and found ways of reaching the kids, starting with Instagram, then moving more formally to Zoom. While we lost a season of recital and competition, the students gained skills and we're able to keep up connections. Once studios were once again able to open, they were incredibly accommodating, continuing to offer Zoom classes for students who could not attend in person due to health concerns of their own or family members. They have continued to require masks of all staff and of all students until vaccinated (as mandates allow for the flexibility, when masks are required for all it is followed!) During a of the uncertainty of opening and closing again, constant and informative emails were sent to all parents. I thought years ago we would be one year and done. One class and done. Instead, we are up to nine classes, and our only child has found an extended family. We will keep her at CSDA until she decides dancing is no longer fun. Given the staff and her fellow students, I have a feeling she will age out of the studio before she tires of the art/sport.
