LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING…read more If you're reading these reviews it means you're looking for a personal trainer and I can tell you to just stop right now and sign up with Chantal/Tyler. My boyfriend and I worked with Chantal and she is the best hands down. She's kind, funny, and pushes you while understanding your limitations. We only did two 30 minute sessions a week but we could see and feel a difference in our body composition and overall confidence! The results would've been even more noticeable if we worked on our diet more which she also provides with nutrition coaching. We would've stayed with Chantal forever if it wasn't for us moving to the bay.

Very new, modern and clean facility. Easily the biggest gym I've ever been in. I booked a free…read moreguest pass with the website so that I could take a tour of the facility with Anmol. He was very helpful sharing the benefits of each membership tier and what I could expect. Because it's the newest gym in town, most times of the day are relatively busy. You can expect the early hours to be more laid back and for volume to drop as we get further into the year. No word as to whether or not they plan on offering a summer program for minors that would increase how many people are trying to attend and take up space. As of now, there's plenty of equipment to accommodate most of the guests. Community stuff like resistance bands, weight belts and boxing gloves were a very nice touch. They offer hot classes, babysitting, and an impressive R&R (relax and recover) amenities like a co-ed sauna, various massage chairs and wall connected tissue massage guns. Great facility overall, but I'd like to see better accommodation for services to be available at all ranges of hours. Doesn't make much sense to pay for a premium tier membership when most of the perks of classes and training are during typical 9-5 hours. Also the music is set rather loud. I'm not hard of hearing but I struggles to hear the staff that was speaking right next to me.

Teri Nava-Anderson was our doula for our July 31st 2009 birth. Our birth was a planned homebirth…read morethat resulted in a transfer to our hospital with our concurrent care obstetrician. When I first found out I was pregnant I knew my outmost goal was to have a labor without the use of narcotics, epidurals or any type of painkillers for the labor. I was very comfortable with the capability of my body and trusted that I could do this with the assistance of a supportive husband, midwife and doula. I found Teri through a wonderful internet site that supports newlyweds and moms-to-be. I inquired more information and was very interested in having a doula for our birth. We meet and immediately felt so comfortable and very secure with her. She understood our wishes and goals and made us feel great about our decisions. It was the best decision we ever made. Teri was very supportive through the ENTIRE labor. She never lessened her enthusiasm to help us. She was always energetic and coherent of what best relaxation techniques suited us, even when we were just plain exhausted. At one point I was in the tub soaking through some tougher contractions. She instructed my husband on how to help me and she stayed a few feet away for the entire time (at least 2 hours!) watching us and making sure if we needed her she was just an arms length away. During pushing I wanted Teri right next to me--on the other side of my husband. I felt that she gave me some great strength through the thickest of contractions. Honestly, I felt that her positive energy is what got me through my long labor. It was her strength and confidence that gave me confidence to do the best I could in my labor. In the end I had to be transferred to my hospital at 10 cm dilated because my baby's head was not coming out, but once in the hospital I delivered the stubborn baby with 2 good pushes. I did not have an epidural or any type of pain suppressants. I did not even think or request any type of pain suppressant the entire time and I feel I owe this all to Teri's great work. She kept me relaxed and confident in the capability of my body and not the pain of labor. I felt so comfortable with Teri. She was soothing, mothering, loving, caring....everything. Her tone of voice was always comforting and loving. My husband was very comfortable with her and we really trusted her. She is a wonderful Doula and we wish her the best in her wonderful service as one. She will definitely be on our call list when we have a second child. We could not have met our wishes and survived the long labor (~50 hours) with no epidural or painkillers. She truly is a wonderful doula and made our birth the most wonderful experience. We recommend her to anyone that is planning to have a natural, unmedicated and painkiller free birth! We love you Teri! The Paoluccio's

I am happy to write a review for Teri and Harmony Doulas…read more Originally I didn't think I would want a doula at all, but my husband kept insisting. I think he was worried about whether he would be able to handle being at the birth and also worried about my stress level and wanting me to have extra support. I was a bit resistant, because I didn't know much about doulas and I was afraid they were all a bunch of hippies that would be judgmental if I decided to get an epidural, because I wasn't sure if I would need anesthesia or not. (It's hard to know if you've never had a baby before.) We met with several different doulas and also considered hiring the person who taught our childbirth classes who also happened to be a doula. In the end, my husband and I both liked Teri and her team the best. It was clear that they were all very experienced and they were very open-minded, while still being research based in terms of their recommendations. The thing that really stood out as well was the fact that Teri discussed upfront how to get reimbursement from an FSA or insurance for their services. I didn't even know that was possible before I met them and, again, it made them seem more experienced. They had also been present at births with my OB/GYN and hospital, which was a plus. I think some women like hiring just one doula so they know for sure who is going to be at the birth, but we liked all the women in Harmony Doula, so I knew I would be happy with whoever was on duty at the time. And actually for me, having 3 doulas was a big plus. I felt better knowing that if one of the doulas was pooped, someone else who was fresh would come in and take over. The other reason I chose a group with 3 doulas was because I wanted to be sure someone would be there who I knew on the big day. No matter how good one doula is, something can always happen, a car accident, a family emergency, so I felt more comfortable knowing there were 3 doulas that would be available. Before the baby was born, they came to our place a few times. Usually two of them came together, but I think once it it was all three. They talked through our birth plan and helped us think of things we hadn't considered. They also showed us prenatal yoga and massage and showed my husband how he could help me do stretches and give me massages. They were also very available whenever I had questions, like on Thanksgiving when I started having lots of Braxton Hicks contractions and worried I was going into early labor. I was pretty terrified about giving birth and they really helped me with my stress and made me feel like I could do it. As I got close to my due date, my doctor told me that they normally induce labor at 41 weeks, which I didn't realize, because I thought 42 weeks was the standard. I really wanted to give the baby time to be "ready" and for labor to start naturally, so I reached out to Teri and she sent me a lot about labor induction and pros and cons of waiting until 42 weeks. On the big day (40 weeks and 6 days), I started having contractions around midnight. I wasn't sure if they were "real" or not, so I waited and called Teri around 2 am. She answered right away and calmly talked me through what was going on. Since my contractions were far apart, she encouraged me to try to sleep. Teri then came over to our place early in the morning and helped me do some exercises to get the baby into the correct position. Then, as fate would have it, I had an OB/GYN appointment scheduled for that day around noon, so we (me, my husband and Teri) all went to the doctor's office together. The doctor checked me and said I was 6 cm dilated and should go to the hospital right away. Another thing I realized after getting to the hospital is that the doctor doesn't show up until the very end and the nurses only come to check on you sporadically, so having Teri there was huge for me, because I knew she was going to be there the whole time. When I was ready to push, the doulas had a shift change and Jennifer arrived, but Teri was excited to see the baby be born, so I actually had two doulas there with me in the end. When it was time to push, they were excellent at helping me figure out different positions to try. When I was very close to getting the baby out, I got a very intense look on my face and my husband actually got a little scared and kept touching my face and telling me to relax and Teri was able to calmly suggest that he go sit in the corner for a minute to calm himself down, which was helpful for me and for him (he made it back before the baby came out). Basically, Teri and her team are awesome and I would highly recommend them to anyone. I was able to have the birth just how I wanted and, of course, the most important thing is that the baby is healthy. I am not sure I could have made it through labor without anesthesia if not for Teri and her team.

Nice gym. We're members in Sacramento and this location is much much much bigger than any in…read moreSacramento and has much more to offer. There's basketball, pickleball, racketball, and tennis courts outdoors. In addition, there's one big outdoors pool with some Roman shade tents things with a little kids slide and an indoor lap pool and a hot spa. On the inside, there's several weights section, a couple of cardio machines sections, another couple of resistance weight sections, and a cycling room that's nice, dark, and quiet and very cool. There's also a yoga studio. Overall, this gym is really big and offers a lot. Unfortunately, we encountered an impolite new staff and the general manager came to talk with us even though we checked into the gym (scanned our cards) who thought we sneaked in and so he wanted to check and talk to me. He was polite, but we were on our way to the Bay area and that conversation delayed us quite a bit. There also was no apologies for the less than professional attitude and demeanor of the staff who we encountered, so it left a bad taste. Hopefully, our next visit will be better.

The sauna and locker room are absolutely disgusting. The floors are extremely dirty, with paper and…read moretrash scattered everywhere. They expect guests to remove their shoes before entering, but who would want to walk barefoot on such a filthy floor? To make matters worse, people come in wearing socks over feet that already smell bad, only to step on these dirty floors--it's unhygienic and frankly gross. When I raised my concern, the attendant admitted how dirty it was but did nothing to address it. Instead, they continued to make people walk barefoot inside. This is a serious health risk. I strongly suggest they clean up this place before someone reports them to the health department.

We were looking for self defense classes because our son was being bullied at Traina Elementary so we thought to build our son's self confidence , mind, body and spirit as well if needed defend himself so we where attracted to American Top/Traditional Martial Arts called several and all answered phone except this one so left message and about 2 days later received call back and this is my understanding of that phone conversation . 1. 49.00 Special advertised: is 49.00 for 2 days a week for 2 weeks. Its a trail offer to see if you like the class or not from others I've called offer trials are for free But this one charges! I don't have any issue with this so I give it 3 stars as its just ok. 2. If you like the class and wish to proceed they charge 1 time $89.00 Enrollment fee Why ? and what's it used for is beyond me ? Most to my knowledge don't charge any Enrollment fee and since it goes to nothing and no uniform I see that as money in the facilities pockets so I give them 1 star in times with COVID AND JOB LOSSES I see this as a major negative impact on the consumer! 3. THIS ONE WAS THE MAJOR DECIDING FACTOR THAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE MADE AWARE OF: They will make you sign a 12 month revolving contract with a 3rd party vendor from what I have heard has poor reviews with BBB that American Top Team/Traditional Martial Arts Studio has no control over and I as well as others need to be cautious of and read the contract very carefully! I did not read this contract because I have never been to the facility but, I did ask lots of questions and offered to pay 12 months in cash in advanced but apparently that wasn't an option! Why ? Use you imagination. If I was to guess I would say someone is making money from you or I by signing those contract because this 3rd party are not processing payments for free and martial arts studio has to be making money as well for their time in explaining and having you sign those contract ! something is not right and everyone needs to be aware of that . On a personal note : I don't understand why the Studio Are unable or unwilling to process there own recurring payments because I deal with small and some large companies all the time and some have lots of customers and every one of them process their own recurring payments as its done all the time without the need for any contract to make the customer feel comfortable instead of trapped into some contract . there just has to be an easier way: so for this I give (- 1 star) Very Disappointing phone call !
