The staff is very welcoming and loves to answer any questions you have. It is located in a busy parking lot because there are several other businesses around but it is easily accessible. When you arrive the door is normally open, if you are just joining, you go to the front desk and ask for Crystal. She will sign you in, grab a uniform for your child, and collect your payment. Your child can change in the bathrooms in the back and join their class when it starts. We arrived late, but once my niece joined the class, she received a warm welcome by both instructors. Immediately one of the instructors gave her the individual attention needed in order for her to catch up. One of the reasons I chose this location is because they ask parents to grade the students on their behavior at home and based on what they get at home, they are allowed to try for a belt. It definitely helps with listening at home. Once leaving the class, each student has to bow and say bye as they exit. We love our new karate home.

Can't possibly recommend this pool. Membership fees are outrageous considering the size of the…read morepool, the crumbling facilities, and the fact that every community event costs extra. If you want to be on a swim team, then I guess this is your way in, but to me it's just not worth it. Go to the Glenn Dale splash park, or one of the many other community facilities. They're in much better shape and the fees aren't eye-watering ($800 for 3 months and they don't open until noon even in the summer). It's really shameful the lack of information they provide to new members, and they don't offer day passes to look around before committing. If you want to bring a guest, they screen the address to ensure they're not a Bowie resident, which was really gross to me. The city should just buy this dinky pool up and open it to the community. Additionally, they don't do background checks on new members, which seems like a no-brainer for something you're paying so much for and have your kids hanging out at. During one swimming session, I noticed a man sitting near the pool filming people on his phone. He wasn't there with anyone (we left at the same time) and he didn't swim. And the place is entirely run by high school kids -- I never once saw an adult outside of the manager's office.

When our last class ended we started looking for something that would be both fun AND challenging. This class did not disappoint. Our instructor is a relatively unassuming cutie pie in a tank top, shorts and heels. From the word go, we are using major muscle groups, engaging core, and attempting low-level "tricks" (crucifix, anyone). I even surprised myself because I completed a portion of a move I didn't think I'd even able to approximate. (and I note that she was VERY encouraging. All she wants to see is maximum effort and I can tell this is going to seriously whip some of my tired muscles into shape) Two days later, I'm wobbly and sore and cannot WAIT for the next class. I am often wary of classes that state they can accommodate all fitness levels/ages/sizes/weights cause ... well I'm heavy... but I made it. There was an older lady in my class and bodies of all kinds and we all had a great time. Points for: Parking (they have their own, off-street but it's limited) Accessory discounts that come with the purchase of a groupon (and as long as there is one available I will purchase classes and attempt to do this weekly or biweekly) Staff was super fun/nice, friendly. Studio is clean. I would have taken half a point off for the fact that I couldn't register for all my classes at one time using my groupon - I had to do them individually but the positives so far outweigh this tiny little admin jank that it was worth the time it took to make sure I got all the classes I wanted to get into. Win, win, win! Go prepared to WORK (bc the instructor is going to push you, HARD) If you're only going to do a class or two? Rent the shoes. They make all the difference in the world. For a recurring series of classes - BUY the shoes. You'll come out cheaper. No matter what you feel like your body issues are - wear the shortest shorts you can cram yaself into. Leggings/tights are an absolute NO. And for the love of Father Gawd, Sonny Jesus and all the Saints... buy the gripping solution. You WILL need it. Go, dance and .... Bring it Up Sexy! :D

I am obsessed with pole fitness at The P Spot! Anyone who exercises regularly and wants to try…read moresomething new should take a class. Don't get it twisted though: pole fitness is intense! Don't come here expecting to trot or twirl around the pole daintily. The P Spot is first and foremost a fitness studio. Head instructor and owner Michaela's motto is "Strong first, sexy second." She's tough and will call you out if you're not giving your best--but don't take it personally because she is here to give you the most bang for your buck! I'd like to consider myself as fit since I go to the gym daily but in my first class, I got my butt kicked! I've been going regularly for some time now and just when you think you're getting comfortable with the workout, Michaela switches things up and fires up a new set of muscles you never thought you had. I definitely have to hand to pole dancers who make it look sooo easy and graceful because in reality, I was a hot, clumsy mess. I definitely recommend getting gripping solution because the last thing you want to do is constantly slip when you're trying to land a trick. And for all first timers--don't compare yourself to other students in the class. The class hosts everyone from beginner to advanced and it will do you no good to see how you stack up against other people. Just focus on yourself and do your personal best. You will leave the studio feeling extremely exhausted but extremely accomplished and empowered.

Victoria has pushed me to do more and I plan to continue to practice during the colder months to make improvements. I hope to progress from LTS to the next level. Adults can learn to swim too. I've still got more to learn, and I plan to come next year. Customer service was also pretty good too.

We have had a wonderful experience with Dynamite Gymnastics. Our preschool aged son has been going…read moreto Dynamite for the last 8 months or so, and loves it. Although gymnastics isn't always the first sport that comes to mind for young boys, it's great for body awareness, coordination, and flexibility (which will be helpful in any other sport that they may want to participate). The classes at the younger ages are also pretty mixed with boys and girls. If taught properly, it also provides structure for social interactions--taking turns, sitting attentively and approaching tasks with clear intent, etc. Our son is constantly jumping and rolling around the house/playground practicing skills he learned that week and is excited for class every week. We've also had a recent birthday party there and will also do the summer camp soon. Here is a summary of our experiences so far: 1) Facilities and safety--clean, well organized, and most importantly, safely set up. For the preschoolers, the obstacle areas are regularly reconfigured for new challenges. The equipment is also very well maintained. There is also a comfortable waiting area for parents and plenty of clear viewing areas (and screens). This is for the Dynamite main location (there is also the Agility Center and Bolt Parkour next door which is part of the same cluster which also seem fine). 2) Owner/management--Michelle is the owner and is wonderful. She spent time discussing what we were looking for there and then matched us with the right coach which made all of the difference in a successful start (and the best coaches to start with--she was spot on in her advice). 3) Coaches/classes--excellent. Our son started with Ky, who has a lot of experience and an energetic personality that is welcoming to the kids. She provided just the right type of nurturing as well as attention to detail and positive feedback (and social structure discipline--waiting turns, etc.). Our son has started a new time/class with Robert K and he's been wonderful too. Very kind with the kids, is very safety conscious, and notices little details (and demonstrates skills very well). Our son was challenged right away and learned a lot while having fun (while being encouraged with positive feedback as he worked on techniques). We have also seen other coaches come over to help when a child is having trouble with a technique and look out for each other's classes. 4) Culture--we have had many nice interactions with other families, and the children there are so polite and aware (e.g., holding the doors for someone else, not blocking the pictures that a parent of a new child is taking during class, etc.). The culture of both the staff and other families there is one of teamwork (there isn't the toxic feel that some gyms or competitive sports have, yet there is certainly skill and discipline t here--just the right balance of work, safety, and fun). 5) Birthday parties--great experience without having to worry about weather. The parents were able to relax and the children could run around in a safe environment with responsible coaches there (and try out pretty cool equipment). Definitely do the inflatable add-on--that was a hit (huge inflatable animal themed obstacle course/tunnel that the children loved). Our son's school has coaches who visit and have the kids do different obstacle courses, sports, and physical challenges. More than one coach has asked if our son takes classes in something because he's doing skills well ahead of his age group. A very large part is due to the classes he's taking at Dynamite (we've notice very solid and steady improvement this entire year). If you're looking for an athletic outlet for your child, then I highly recommend the Dynamite Gymnastics Center and coaches for a safe, fun, and properly challenging gymnastics home.
