We took a mixology class with Lorna, our first class post Pandemic, and we loved it! Lorna was so much fun and easy-going. She was knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions and also provided easy to follow instructions on how to build our own cocktails (mocktails, too!).

I'm not sure what I expected as the class listed 9 pasta dishes to be made... A part of me expected to see a scene from The Muppets where the Swedish Chef wrestles with a plate of pasta before getting attacked by it. There were a dozen of us, all seated comfortably around the large kitchen island. The cooking facility was spacious, clean, and well organized- the perfect space for a large group to move freely and cook amongst each other. We were offered complimentary water, tea, and coffee throughout the class. Chef Christie was amazing! Her upbeat energy was a pleasure to be around and her instructions were clear and concise. Her friendly persona made it easy to ask questions. We learned to make basic, egg, and wheat dough and shaped them into spaghetti, fettuccine, cavatelli, and ravioli. We then made some classic sauces to go with them: Bolognese, puttanesca, bacon tomato, and caramelized onion cheese. In addition to that, we made a cheese tortellini soup, sausage tomato lasagna, seafood cannelloni with basil cream sauce, butternut agnolotti with sage butter, and a spinach ravioli with charred tomato sauce. OH. MY. LORD. Brains overloaded with info and bellies satisfied, we all took a nap when we got home. :]

A few highlights for me: 1)the staff. Super friendly, energetic, and engaging. They gave us autonomy when preparing our dishes, but still offered tons of bits of advice and tips for when we are at home preparing similar recipes. 2) the food. Everything we prepared was delicious. The recipes are simple so anybody can go home and replicate. But, still bursting with flavor. They are also versatile so many of the techniques, ingredients, and pairings can be applied to many dishes. 3) the energy. The space is super clean, designed with great intention, and full of awesome people. It feels like walking into a community even though to start we were all strangers. Many laughs, recommendations, and stories were shared through a night full of wonderful memories. Food is a binder for many of us. Fennel has done a superb job creating a safe community space for many to create sacred, intimate memories! Can't wait to get back and make more grub!

I can't afford a person trainer in which I would need for the problems that I have that I would have to have a trainer to do the do it right but there's good people there. I just wish they had a little more. Maybe one of those classes but I guess it's just not meant to be right now. But it sure would be nice. Remember I talked to one of the district managers on the phone and I told him that the arthritis was pretty bad and my back was this messed up and he was nice and he just said oh that's that's hard to manage. I was just looking for an answer or hoping for one like well. It's always the fact that it's never too late, but you have to know how to build the muscles up so you don't hurt yourself worse and the only way to do that is with the trainer and unfortunately they need to work too and I can't afford that. I just wish that when he said that that's hard to manage. That's not what I was going there far or asking about. I go to my doctor to manage that. I don't go to the gym to do that. I would love to have the muscles in my back. Just a little bit more stronger. It's never too late. That's what they say but I was told it's hard to manage so that's kind of why I've never went back in there. They've got awesome trainers but I don't even know if it cost to get a consultation. That's what I was looking for. Also come in. We'll have a consultation but instead I got it's hard to manage so that's why I haven't been back in there. That's just me

Our nanny has been to several swim schools and says this is the best he's seen and really likes it. Occasionally one of the babies will cry the whole lesson but mine has loved it! It's located in an old Aldi Supermarket. The water is 90 degrees and the building is completely warm. The dressing room has two changing rooms with a baby table, otherwise there is a large baby changing area in the open. The hard part is changing yourself after baby. I recommend to have a partner if you're bringing a baby, although only one can get in the water. There is a lot of viewing space. There are 5 lanes, each with a class going on. Classes are 30 min and can be once or twice a week. They also offer winter camps. You're allowed to make up a class if there's a reasonable reason they missed and that is all done through the portal. Overall, I highly recommend it!
