"Many thanks" would be the first thought that comes to mind when thinking about the free,…read moreopen-to-anyone, Tai Chi classes Caylen provided at Alki Beach this summer. Prior to my first class with Caylen, I was interested in starting a meditation practice but having a very hard time with it. Physically sitting still and mentally letting go **aren't exactly** my strong suits. And that's when a friend pointed me toward Caylen's classes and recommended that I might want to try something that incorporated a bit more movement. My initial reaction was "Yeah, okay, it couldn't hurt." That, and I got a good laugh out of the well-worn joke describing Tai Chi as, "Old people sneaking up on trees." A half-dozen classes later, I still laugh at the joke... but I'm now very appreciative of what I've learned from the "Storm Tai Chi" classes. If you're looking for some sort of over-the-top, high energy, highly regimented class... this might not fit the bill. But if you want to learn about Tai Chi (and although this might sound silly, about yourself as well, in both a physiological and mindful sense) I'd encourage anyone to attend one of Caylen's classes. They are informal, but exceedingly informative. The instructional style is low key but amazingly insightful. And the number of times I find myself using (sometimes subtlety, sometimes very overtly) the things from a lesson in everyday circumstances often catches me by surprise. Be it something to do with breathing, or awareness, or being present, or even pushing things away or pulling things towards me (either physically or mentally)... it's ALL GOOD. And yes, I even find that since working with Caylen, some of the more traditional meditation practices are now easier, much easier, to get my mind around. All because of my time spent learning how to "sneak up on trees". Update: Caylen's outdoor Alki classes are over for the year, but will resume in the spring. Other class info can be found on his website.

Working with Sam has been wonderful. I first approached her for personal training, but when I…read morediscovered she offered hypnotherapy to also help me focus inward to keep weight off for good, I signed up for that as well. Hypnosis was never something I considered - I didn't know it could be used this way. Sam has helped me clean out some of the internal stress that was causing me to overeat, and learn to only eat when I'm hungry. My mood has improved and I'm able to recognize when my cravings don't come from actual hunger, and instead find joy in non-food related things. As far as personal training goes, Sam is kicking my butt in the best way possible! The workouts involve a variety of moves so I don't get bored, and having Sam's friendly personality hold me accountable makes me WANT to work out. I can't recommend her enough!

I like her because she is really into her work, has studied a lot of different things, both on the physical plane, the mental and energetic (that eating and weight loss stuff has so much to do with beliefs, habits and emotions.) If my Mom lived out here, I would send her to Lynn to help her get more fit. By the way, I really mean MORE fit. She's not a fitness nazi who makes you run marathons, or work out til you drop. If you're a lady over 40 on the Eastside, I say call her.

Awesome place! I've…read morebeen part of Kung Fu Club Fall City for four years now, and joining this school has truly been one of the best decisions for me and my kids. I train alongside my 14‑year‑old son, and my daughter trained here for three years before heading off to college. The consistency, quality, and genuine care that Sifu Johann Sasynuik brings to every class are exceptional. This school is far beyond the scope of a typical martial arts studio or any commercial training program. It's a place where you learn effective self‑defense, develop a deep understanding of structure and movement, build leadership skills, and practice qi gong meditation that meaningfully enhances both physical and mental well‑being. Sifu Johann Sasynuik is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and fully committed to helping each student grow at their own pace. I originally joined because I started gaining weight and feeling slower in my daily life. A friend recommended this school, and at first I wondered why I should try a Kung Fu program. It turned out to be exactly what I needed. Within a year, I lost most of the extra weight I had gained over the years in a healthy, sustainable way. I became more active, more confident, and even started sleeping deeply more often. Watching my kids train here has been just as rewarding. They've developed discipline, focus, and resilience that carry over into school and everyday life. If you're looking for a place that offers authentic training, a supportive community, and real personal transformation, Kung Fu Club Fall City is the place to be in. If you're even a little curious, drop in and check out The Kung Fu Club. You won't regret it.

I have trained at many martial arts clubs in over 35years in several countries. The Kung Fu Club of…read moreFall City is by far the best. Sifu Johann is a great teacher, and you will find that you will learn just as much from the other students there too. I have made friends for life, as did my children who also trained with me there. You will learn practical skills that are extremely effective should you ever need to use them. Plus, it has a great family atmosphere for all ages with none of the 'tough guy' attitudes that are often prevalent with other martial arts studios. The pricing is also extremely competitive. My best advice is to go try it out and see if you like it, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by giving it a go!

First off - I highly recommend Michelle and Collab Fitness.. (and I have to a bunch of my friends…read morealready). I signed with Michelle in her early morning session - for 2 main reasons - it was early enough in my day to fit my schedule and it was close by. I wanted to get started on my fitness goals and it seemed like a good way - with 2 classes a week. My expectations were - get to move, build some core strength and get cross trained as I start half marathon training. Michelle's sessions exceeded my expectations! - The sessions were really well organized - she emailed ahead of time what to expect for the week. So, I was mentally prepared going in - She was there and ready to go - and full of positive energy. - She worked with everyone (Who were at different fitness levels) at their level and pushed us to get the best we have. - Sessions were a good mix of HIIT, Pop Pilates, body weight workouts, interval training, boot camp and - She took inputs from the class to see what worked and include them in the class - She is very organized with the workouts planned, music and intervals preset, guidance for new moves and routines ahead of doing them! - She is super encouraging, offers variations based on your needs, works around the class, monitors for posture and pushes you through the session... - I signed up to work with her on my nutrition as well - she had so many suggestions and followed up weekly to ensure I was on track - I now plan my weekly menu - all meals + snacks. she had a lot of great ideas that I could incorporate with my dietary limitations. As to results - I can see my workouts working... my running is getting better, I am eating healthier (most of the time :) ), muscle definition that I had lost, is coming back and I am enjoying working out, I've signed up for session 2. Wishing Michelle and Collab Fitness the very best! :)

Every class is well planned and in tune with the pace of the class as well as every individual. Michelle is constantly offering differentiation in movements to accommodate several fitness levels. One detail I appreciate SO much is how intervals are predictable because she meticulously plans music and uses a timer app. One of my personal pet peeves is the trainer who says thirty seconds but then keeps you going for 60. That never happens with Michelle. The mix of boot camp, circuit training, and Pop Pilates is not only fun, but very effective. I leave every workout feeling stronger and although exhausted, happy with the changes my body is undergoing. Michelle radiates positive energy and through keen observation and with simple suggestion, ensures she's pushing you towards your best fit self, i.e. there is NO TRACE of military bootcamp humiliation or veiled insults in the room. Michelle clearly knows what she is doing and is beyond passionate about fitness and your growth as well as fostering a team mentality, no one is alone at Collab Fitness!

I would highly recommend her to anyone that is interested in looking and feeling their best. In addition, she puts on great 5K/10K races that benefit foster kids.

I also have gotten to know the regulars that attend, so it's been a great opportunity to meet new people.
