Went to one of his "group exercise classes" and this place a JOKE! First of all, he still has the…read moreold Curves sign on this door, and from my understanding he's been there for year. Second, he has no business cards, third his website isn't updated accurately with the class schedule, which would possibly be OK if he had al pamphlet in his office with the correct schedule. Nope, didn't have that either. That alone told me he was a on very low budget. When you walk into the next room, it's basically an empty room with dumbbells scattered around the room. The room isn't very big and the carpet appears to be a good 40+ years old. So it's time to work out now. He tells the overweight guy standing next to me to show me how to roll out. Overweight guy is now telling me how to stretch. I'm sorry, I thought it was the instructor's job to lead the class in a group warm up? Apparently not. It's a free-for-all. The "instructor" was still sitting at his desk while everyone warmed up and stretched on their own. Mind you, I do work out and I know how to stretch, but thankfully overweight guy was there to guide me (really?!). So now we start the workout. It's basically six rounds of six exercises, 30 seconds each exercises. Once you finish the first round, instead of going right into the second round, you just sit it there, for a good minute until he tells you to start. We never left that dingy little room with the old carpet. We barely even left the spot we were working in. In the adjoining room next to us (some people had to move over since there wasn't enough room in the main workout room for what little people were there) there was a man a woman who proceeded to TALK the ENTIRE time. They never shut up! This was very distracting, and frankly rude and disrespectful for others who were trying to work out. At one point our "instructor" is talking to people while we're doing our exercises. And he wasn't talking to them because he was trying to help them, he was BS'ing with them. At one point he said to another male member "I can see your sweaty f*cking balls." That was about my final straw. I am all for a relaxed environment, but this was almost too relaxed, and lacked professionalism in so many ways. When the class was finally over (thank God!) I looked at overweight guy and asked if Paul leads us in a cool down stretch. Nope! You do that on your own too. So basically I got a class of total chaos, no professionalism from the instructor and a facility that has no actual equipment, thank God it was a drop-in and didn't cost me any money. And this guy charges $175 a MONTH for this. I wouldn't pay $1.75 for a class of his. Oh and at end he had the nerve to offer my friend (who's lost over 50 lbs and is about a size 4-6) and eating plan, so she could lose weight. Mind you, Paul is a large guy, and not because he's cut, he's fat. So to have him tell my in-shape friend she needed to lose weight was the final straw. This guy clearly is a start-up with absolutely no money. His "gym" has zero equipment only consist of dumbbells kettle bells. The best thing he can do is to stop into another gym, look at what equipment and they and observe how a true group class should be taught. Needless to say we never came back.

My friends and I are in law school, and I thought that petting some baby goats would give us a…read moremuch-needed break from our studies. My birthday was coming up and seemed like the perfect opportunity for this idea, so I contacted Feels Like Home Farm to set up a private "snuggle session" for six people. I expected to meet the baby goats, pet some alpacas, and be on our way, but the experience was so much more than that! Marcus (one of the owners) gave our group a full tour of the farm and told us so many interesting things about the animals there. Marcus is a great tour guide and really made the experience for us (and has great travel tips). We all walked away knowing a lot more about the animals on the farm and what taking care of them entails. While I was there, I didn't think about law school once! We all had plenty of opportunities to hold the baby goats, which were even more adorable than I imagined they would be. We also fed the alpacas and met a lot of other animals (adult goats, guard dogs, guard geese, and various cats). If you love animals but cannot have your own farm, or if you are up for a unique experience in the Cleveland area, I highly suggest booking a tour and snuggle session at Feels Like Home Farms! I will be back for goat yoga :)

I'm a huge adventure junkie and....this goat yoga party was one of my favorite adventures to date....This farm is literally a utopia... Feels Like Home Farm is AMAZING for: a) Private Parties - Reasonably priced and SO MUCH FREAKING FUN! Also so unique - you're never going to have another party like this! b) Goat Yoga Events - they run community yoga classes on a somewhat-regular basis throughout the year (schedule is on the farm's website!) and they're a great way to get out and try something new with friends. Their instructor, Deanna Black, is an excellent teacher and make the class very unique. I've been doing yoga for years and I'm kind-of a yoga snob....and I freaking love Deanna. Great way to support a local farm! If I could give Alissa (and her family), Deanna, the farm, the goats, the class, and the entire experience 1,000,000,000 stars, I would. I'll call out a couple things, although the list of positives is far too long to write: 1) The farm: Is STUNNING. LOTS of land and very peaceful. They have ~50 goats, primarily 4 different breeds. All are happy, healthy, ADORABLE, and super friendly. They also have 2 awesome dogs, a CUTE LITTLE PIG named Dottie (omg!), and happy ducks waddling around. Their neighbors let us meet their CRAZY-COOL mini donkeys, cows, and pigs! I honestly never wanted to leave. Alissa and her husband took us on a tour of the farm and taught us all about their animals!! It was AWESOME! 2) The people: Alissa, her husband, and her daughters were unbelievably passionate about what they do at the farm, loving towards their animals, and so excited to share their farm with us. Alissa was INCREDIBLY responsive to all of my requests, and personalized literally EVERY little thing about the party. She was very creative, and thought of ideas I NEVER would have (like bringing in a local food truck!). I interact with a lot of business owners through Yelp, and Alissa has been by far the most fun and passionate one yet. 3) The Yoga: If you want a good workout, Deanna's class is great. She is also EXCELLENT at leading guided meditations. I was so relaxed and present by the end of class. Deanna is also AWESOME at incorporating acro-yoga into her classes. We did some CRAZY moves I've never done before (see my pictures!) 4) Convenient location - The farm is only about 25 - 30 minutes from Ohio City and an easy drive. We had no issues with parking at all. HUGE THANK YOU to all of you for making this such an unbelievably unique experience that none of us will forget!
