Both of my girls are on the JO team, and we have been here for a couple of years now so it felt…read morelike we have had solid time to be able to write a credible review vs a singular experience. My younger grew up in the recreational program, we did everything from mommy and me and she went through the classes as she got older, joined the JO Team this past June. I personally didn't think she had what it took, but trusted the gym's judgment...and she's been thriving. Her coaches overall were great, and we even still have moments where rec coaches who work seasonally will come back and be amazed at how much she grew! My oldest has always been on team and we have had injuries, but she had a great season last year. I appreciate how much all her team coaches (Carmen, Toya, Mike, Jim, Kevin, Savannah, Sophie, Jazz), Courtney and the front desk team support her. Having so many coaches for the team is wonderful as they all offer something different in terms of coaching style and personality fit. No place is perfect, but what I do appreciate is that you can have a transparent conversation about how your child is doing / how together we can partner to help our kids progress in a safe way. These conversations may not be easy but the intent is shared that the gym also wants what's best for your child. My oldest has a mental block from breaking her arm twice and the fact that she's at the gym and love gymnastics still is a testament to how much the coaches and the gym cares. I've had conversations with the coaches and Courtney about how it's more than just gymnastics, but how their time at the gym shapes their identity and who they grow into so I appreciate the macro view this gym has vs it's about level / skills / medals. The Xcel coaching team is also excellent - we trained with Curtis on the pre-team prior to JO and we loved him. Kelsey also worked with our girls and is so supportive. It's clear how much the coaches here care about the kids. The gym itself is so well kept in terms of equipment and safety so it's nice to see the pit is cleaned and everything looks clean vs at some gyms there's a lot of dust, fraying, and wear. Lastly, we are not in cheer (sadly), but love Neda and Sammy's energy, and can't think of better coaches to lead this team.

Best learning experience ever!…read more I was a volunteer for the Tournament of Roses on New Year's Day and my 1st assignment was to lead the floats to their assigned parking space at the Floatfest Showcase as they came off the parade route. To do this I needed to drive a Honda scooter, which I had never done before. After a short 30 minute introduction to the scooter by Honda, I did not feel very confident. I was sure I was going to tip over. So I started to hunt for private lessons nearby and came across Ride2Ride through a Google search. And I am so glad I did. Ilyas was so reassuring and knew exactly how to build up my skill level and my confidence. We practiced the basics one step at a time, and after I mastered each skill, he took me to the next level. When I left my 2 hr lesson I could accelerate smoothly, stop safely, and make turns confidently. This may not sound like much, but for someone who's never driven any motorized vehicle with just 2 wheel, and not even been on a bicycle for over 20 yrs, this was just what I needed to accomplish in those 2 hrs. Thank you so much Ilyas!!!

If you're looking to learn how to ride, look no further!…read moreBefore finding Ride2rideagain, I had tried learning at other schools and left feeling no more confident on a motorcycle than when I started. I also tried the MSF and the group format just didn't work for me: too many riders, no personal attention, and no opportunity to actually practice and improve. That changed the moment I booked here. Ride2rideagain doesn't just run you in circles, they actually care about you learning. The focus is on building real muscle memory and confidence, not just filling a class and charging fees. Lessons are broken down into steps that make sense, and you feel like the instructor is fully invested in your progress. The difference is night and day. After just one session, I felt more comfortable and capable on a bike than I ever had before. Instead of leaving doubting myself, I left excited. I only wish I had found this school sooner. If you're a beginner or even just looking to elevate your skills, this is the spot you've been searching for.

I highly recommend that you take this 7 week Accelerated course through Mike Wilson and only Mike!…read moreI found positive reviews on Yelp that prompted me to sign up for this specific course, in HAWTHORNE, so I'm going to pay it forward by co-signing this curriculum. I did the course Dec 2024 It is an absolute honor to learn from Mike Wilson who has over 40 years experience as a Paramedic. He's a rockstar in this business. He keeps the material fun, engaging, and has plenty of interesting stories wilder than your imagination. I had a blast with the online lectures and I'm definitely going to miss his humor. 'Gallows humor' he calls it. My kinda style! This 7 week course is packed with lots of information - a firehose of knowledge blasted into your face. It's definitely not for the faint of heart! But it's only 7 weeks of your life and these are skills that can be useful for your own health, your loved ones, whether or not you chose to pursue the pre-hospital care business. Just put aside your bad habits for 7 weeks, apply yourself, and trust me it'll be a life experience you won't forget. I passed my NREMT on the first try in 70 questions. If you pass Mike's course, the NREMT is easy-peasy! Thank you for the memories Mike!

Our…read moreclass worked hard and had some trying moments along the way as this is a serious class that demands your best, but in the end Mike Wilson and his team really want you to succeed and they definitely give you the tools to do so. If you're a good team player, you'll have the best experience- our class established a study group early on, which was instrumental to our success and now we have all formed friendships that will last long after the class is over! This goes along with the 'soft skills' you need for this job that Mike preaches from day one. The other neat thing about the class is we had students from all walks of life, from people getting into EMS as their first real job, to people on their way to becoming doctors! And we were all able to connect in meaningful ways and learn from each other. No matter who you are, Mike and the team will offer you something new, unique, and most importantly USEFUL for your career and for your life in general. Big thanks to Mike, Vince, Shaun and Ramon for your instruction and making sure we are all prepared to go out there and SAVE LIVES!!! EDIT: I just took the NREMT exam about a week after finishing the course and passed first time!!!
