He is a high energy kid and the instruction at Tearney's has helped him to focus in school, gain more control over his balance and given him the discipline to pay attention at school. They also have great karate classes for adults, who can start at any age. As a bonus, when you take the karate classes, you can take unlimited kickboxing classes at no extra cost. I take the kickboxing classes and especially like the self defense classes. They are a great way to stay fit!

I exercised my calves here. And "Yes, My Calf Aches."…read more Did you hear about the tree in Midtown that was so large, that one of its branches stretched all the way to downtown? That was called the Downtown Branch. Anyway. This is not a great YMCA by any stretch of the imagination, and it has a strange layout and looks a little bit like it was built in 1952 or something. Nevertheless I was happy that it was here, and the pool was mostly empty, and while it smelled weird, it was so quiet and only one other person was there the whole time I was there. That was much better for my swimming than most others I've tried, especially my home one in Buffalo (Williamsville) where the pool gets so crowded, it's a joke. However, some of the equipment desperately needs replacing, so I can't really give more than a four. Rusted out and really poor for lifting. At least getting in here was no big problem.

I wish that a retroactive review of this school could be better…read more I studied at Syracuse Kung Fu for two years and was very active in the school--participating in Lion Dance performances, Chinese New Year events in New York City, and even teaching kids' classes for about 4 months in late 2016. After about 4 months of teaching I became very ill with the onset of Crohn's disease and cancelled my membership at Syracuse Kung Fu. Mr. Bey, the owner, continued to bill my account for 6 months despite multiple reminders to stop payment, and I eventually had to cancel my debit card to get the payments to stop. Despite acknowledging that I am owed a refund for the full amount, he has claimed for over a year to be unable to pay a due to being in debt. Mr. Bey is a skilled kung fu practitioner and a decent teacher, but he is a disorganized businessman and dishonest when it comes to money. 1 star--only because I can't give it zero--from a former student who was dismayed by Mr. Bey's behavior.

I just recently started working out, trying to get into shape. A friend of mine had been going to…read morethe local YMCA for a month or two now and encouraged me to go with him. I'm definitely glad I did. The staff is fairly helpful, some more so than others. The rates for membership are greatly reduced for college students, but you can't really put a price on being able to stay healthy. There are a wide, wide variety of machines available for use - from your typical treadmill to more advanced and specialized machines. In the middle of the day, there usually isn't too many people there, but later on towards the evening it starts getting more busy. They also offer several classes, Zumba being one of them, but I haven't looked into any details. There is a full locker room with lockers, shower, toilets, and sinks for the regular visits. Out near the machines is a water fountain and scale to weigh oneself. All-in-all it is a well featured gym with plenty of ways to get and stay in shape.

The rest is history. The staff who first greeted me--Matt and Diane--are so kind, cordial, and welcoming, not to mention knowledgeable, I had to keep investigating. The facilities--although parts are over 20 years old--are in great shape. So far have only swum, taken Silver Sneakers workouts, and used sauna and steam rooms, but I am hooked. The pool is not crowded; Patty and Vera, SS instructors super good and hilarious and the other ladies and gents are welcoming and helpful too. I also see children, teens, serious muscle-builder types too there for various activities. It's a real gem in this part of CNY. Try it--but don't use the pool please. Want to keep it to myself! :- )

If you need more assistance, they'd be happy to help- but otherwise, you have free reign! If you want to change up the colors on the picture, that's definitely allowed and they'll give you a different paint palette so you can achieve that!

However, do avoid Matthew in this regard, as for someone with prior knowledge on teaching, he does not know how to make the newcomer driver comfortable in the car and will make them more anxious over his instruction than about going onto head on traffic. The other instructors know how to teach while also understanding the newcomer driver, but this one just doesn't and it brought the experience down the times he even bothered to sign up on, you don't have to worry about seeing him much as he's the furthest from the area so he's unlikely to take your lessons.

In that short time my daughter has alleviated her chronic back pain, improved her posture and appearance, and amazingly even decreased her degree of spinal rotation.

My daughter feels better not only physically but has grown in confidence and, even more, found a friend. She loves Terri and looks forward to every session with her.
