I have witnessed firsthand and have also been told of her belittling, yelling and speaking down to not only her staff but also other patrons of the gym. I have been yelled at by the owner on multiple occasions- each time trying to understand why and thinking maybe she was just having off days. It is time I spoke up for myself and against her bullying behavior. To behave in such a manner, as a business owner, is beyond unprofessional and demoralizing to patrons who pay money to work out- not to be yelled at and accosted by its owner. read less

Bryson City is beautiful and right next to Great Smokey Mountain National Park…read more This is the best gym you're going to find in Bryson City. It's not big, but it's way better than a hotel gym. See pictures. You can pay $7/day or $30/week if you're from out of town. I ended up only using it twice, which isn't worth $30, but that's my own fault for playing poker until 3 a.m. If you do take advantage of this offer, they will give you a key fob for 24-hour access. There is a free weight room in the back, which is where you want to go if looking for strength training. The treadmills are in the main room, but they face the gym instead of out the window. The staff here is very friendly. They make you feel welcomed. In regards to the members, they're going to know that you're not from around there. No big deal, though. They keep to themselves. This is a good option if you're looking for a real gym when traveling. It's not huge, but it gets the job done.

I am pleased to add this school to Yelp. JVE is a Title I school, which means that it receives…read moregrants in order to provide a great education for kids from all walks of life so that they meet "challenging state academic standards"*. Which means that when my daughter, Ronni, was struggling with reading, she got the extra help, and she is now reading above her expected reading level. Plus, in 2013, JVE received the honor of being named a "National Title I Distinguished School". Which means that they did what they set out to do- got kids the education that they needed. Which means that they were one of the schools in the top one percent- yes, one percent- in the nation to do so. JVE teachers do not mess around. So, education is great in general at this school. The Pre-K is super. Those rugrats can get bussed if you ask, and they get dismissed at three p.m. Ronni loved it. Ditto for Kindergarten and on up. Kids are challenged and become math freaks and history buffs. Ronni gives me daily math quizzes. She has been doing small science experiments that create huge messes. Yep, she's trucking! This school has free breakfast, and a reduced or free lunch if you qualify. They have services for "Exceptional Children" (autism, visual and hearing problems, emotional or intellectual disabilities, speech problems, and traumatic brain injuries). They got ELL ("English Language Learners"), which is big in my book. (My dad came to the United States speaking not one word of English. He does now, and became an electrical engineer along the way.) AIG ("Academically or Intellectually Gifted) is offered, too. And after-school care and summer camp to boot. They do come attached with a reasonable price tag, but, as a parent, you can work harder or play harder when your kids are still at school. Sometimes special math, science, and reading nights are held in the evenings. Musicals every year. Ronni has stopped lip syncing and has graduated to almost-fainting at the musicals. In third grade, the kids start playing recorders. Art, and I am proud to say that Ronni's art has been shown in the county art show for the past several years. P.E. is much loved, errant basketballs and all. Guidance classes take place, as well as book swaps. And don't forget library! I always catch Ronni reading her library books. There is an on-site therapist, which is excellent, and a school psychologist. Every year, the fifth graders go to Washington D.C. They come back more mature and exuberant for even more learning. JVE's principal is simply amazing. Our kids's education is her passion, and she does a fine job with our future. Most of the teachers are terrific. You can reach out to them, and they help. When I thought that Ronni had a learning disability, they got right on the investigation. When Ronni had an illness that resulted in a lot of missed school days, they understood, and made sure that she reached milestones at a crucial time in her schooling. Reported bullying is dealt with swiftly and justly. I have to hold back sadness and anger when I think about what some kids- what my kids- have to go through and went through. It is reality, but one that I will always try to effect with wisdom, humor, and slipped slang. Like: I am happy that some bullies are out of my kids' lives and are on on the road to juvie. ("Juvie" in that statement is purposeful slang.) Yeah, some teachers are tough. Some can mostly be wonderful, but have an irrational moment from time to time. Some don't get high-functioning autism and find it hard to connect with kids like that. Some teachers forge across that chasm, and try to make things easier. I am glad that the teacher that made my daughter sit on the floor is gone. Some of these aforementioned facts are not abnormal or isolated. They happen in public schools across the country. You want a kid who knows that Abraham Lincoln had a tough childhood? Or one that knows the "new math" that leaves my mind reeling? Then put 'em in JVE. They will come out with so much knowledge that you will feel, like, well, not smarter than a fifth grader. If you need tips on dealing with autism in schools (e.g. how to communicate with teachers, how to make a communication booklet, IEP**s) or requesting learning disabilities services, just message me. *Quoted from the U.S. Department of Education. **Individualized Education Program

This gym is under new ownership and they're doing everything right. Whether you're into fitness,…read moreheavy lifting, or classes, they have all of it. It's not a huge space but you will find what you need. And the owner is very friendly. Unfortunately, I messed up when I worked out here. I have been lifting heavy for over a year, and of all things, I get an umbilical hernia from Russian Twists. If you're not familiar with them, there is no heavy weight required. It just puts strain on your abdomen if you go too hard. I was using a medicine ball and at a high rate of speed. So, I messed up. The current plan is to pretend I don't know about the umbilical hernia when working out. This is an easy hernia to fix but still a few thousand. Dang it! My point is that I go with energies and the universe. I can't go back here since I messed up here. But it is indeed a great gym and I definitely recommend it! I just threw in a personal experience/story.

Franklin Garden is one of those little downtown surprises that feels like it has more history…read morepacked into it than the small size suggests. The start of the space is the clock tower, which is actually the old cupola from the 1881 Macon County Courthouse that once stood across the street before the current 1970s building replaced it. Seeing it repurposed here gives the garden a sense of continuity, like the town kept a piece of its architectural past instead of letting it disappear. And if you happen to be here right on the hour like we were, the bell still rings, fiving the spot a small-town old-courthouse kind of charm. The garden itself is tidy, easy to walk and makes a nice quick stop while exploring Franklin. It sits right in the middle of things, so you can wander through, take a look at the tower, and be on your way without any hassle. It's the kind of place that doesn't try too hard but ends up being memorable anyway, especially if you appreciate historic details that have been given a second life.
