Having said that...I've experienced it, and umm...with mosquito bites still itching, this was cool...not sure if I would say, "yes" again. While he set up the tents, I went to grab a margarita. Upon my return, I was impressed with the setup. Who knew camping could be "chic"? lol. After sending my daughter pics, she said it was, "glamping," not "camping." Lol Honestly, I enjoyed. Just hated the bugs. I love to read. If you do too, bring a good book. The camping ground is spacious. You're assigned a lot where you set up your tent(s). Seems like he had the entire gamut -- blow up couch, blow up bed, portable grill, speakers for music, bug repellent, food, and libations ;-) You will hear everything that is nature at night. I swear I heard a fox howling/barking. All-in-all, it was a cool experience...five days later, still itching from those bites. Oh! There's a water park too...arrive early to get in because they do have a capacity limit.

Wayyyyy back in the day, my dad bought a RV, and the one place that I can explicitly remember us…read moregoing, was Lake Fairfax Park. I also remember having a great time on the lake paddle boating and swimming in the big "L" shaped pool. Fast forward decades later, I have taken a liking to camping. I still consider myself a novice, and over the last 3yrs, I have accumulated some cool stuff. I have an annual camping trip with a large group next month, but I wanted to do a small intimate trip to one of my favorite childhood places. I must say, Lake Fairfax has one big change from when I was a child. It now has a HUGE waterpark that has giganic water slides as soon as you enter. I was a little disappointed to hear from the check-in Park attendant, who had the personality of a disinterested teenager, that the L shaped pool I referenced was no longer there. My picture of laying poolside or chillin in the pool were shattered, because with waterparks, comes tons and tons of young kids.. and honestly, I would just rather not..LOL! Once we made it to our assigned camping lot, I was super pleased at how close we were to the extremely clean rest rooms that were equipped with showers. The camping site was noticeably quiet, almost library quiet, so that suprised me a little. I didn't want to disrupt the flow, so I kept my speaker at a low level. :) All in all, I had a memorable experience at Lake Fairfax Park and I can definitely see myself coming back sometime next Spring/Summer!!

I'll start out with saying I've taken many yoga classes at school and did a variety of classes…read more Since I've been home, it's been hard finding a place that is at par as my previous studio (which I loved! And was so sad to leave behind after graduation). So I went today as a test trial for my parents (to the 6:15 class) and I absolutely loved it!! The instructor was knowledgable and so kind. The atmosphere is everything you need and more to have a successful and peaceful practice. It has been a while since I last practiced and was slightly nervous I wouldn't be able to settle in with a new instructor and studio, but it turned out to be just what I needed. My 45 min session allowed me to fully embrace what I've been missing the past few months and my practice was excellent. For those yogis you'll love this place with its wide variety of class selections. I can't wait to explore more. Beginners, they have great gentle yoga classes to help you start your journey. Highly recommend.

Before coming here, my main form of cardio exercise was running, though I had taken a few spin…read moreclasses before. I've been coming here since Thanksgiving week 2018, roughly 2-3x per week. *Management/Staff The main reason why I picked this place was because I didn't want a contract. Prices are reasonable, and you can buy class packages and/or just pay for single classes. No matter how disheveled and cranky looking I've shuffled into here, I have always received a bright and friendly greeting. (I have come into here right after rolling out of bed, or after a long day of crawling around on datacenter floors. I am not a morning person. Trust me.) Any emails that I have sent with questions or concerns have always been answered within 1-2 business days, and all responses I've received have been courteous and professional. Added shout out to Peter for putting up with me not knowing how to shoe. I bought my own shoes and messed up screwing in the cleats properly so I couldn't get out the bike easily. Peter was very patient about that through multiple classes. *Facilities Plenty of parking is in the area, and I feel like it's safe after dark and in the early morning. The studio itself is clean, with nice and new equipment. (Your bike reports back your ride statistics back into the web portal, so that's pretty nifty). They have shoes for you to borrow, and they seem to be kept clean and sanitary. There's also towels for you to wipe off your sweat during workouts. There's also free foam earplugs if you're worried about hearing loss, but as an occasional concertgoer, I'd suggest you spend $10 for your own sound dampening earplugs if you have concerns about your hearing. *Instructors I think I've had classes with four different instructors at this point. They're all different, and they're all good. No complaints here. It really depends on your personal preference here, so I'd try a few. Overall, if you want to SPIIIIIIIINNNNNNN and get a good cardio workout, this place is a good bang for your buck and close by if you live in the Reston/Herndon/Chantilly area.

My daughter attends this school for swimming and it has gone really well. She started at 5 months…read moreand has graduated to level 2 already! Now, the only gripe I have about the school is when they have subs for the normal swim teachers. I understand that life happens, but when the sub seems clueless to how the class is organized, it becomes frustrating. Not only for the babies, but also for the parents paying the school fee. I have seen it a few times where the parents are complaining about the class. The training could be a little cleaner or at least have a veteran teacher with someone who is new. Overall a great experience and will recommend the school to any babies or kids who need to learn swimming!

Unfortunately, our experience here over the past two years has been very disappointing. One of the…read morebiggest issues has been the complete lack of consistency--not only with the coaches, but also with what was actually being taught from lesson to lesson or even coach to coach. The quality of instruction varied tremendously depending on the coach. Some coaches would spend much of the lesson standing in the pool and singing the songs, while others actually provided helpful feedback, worked on specific swim skills, and took the time to get to know the children they were teaching. There was also constant turnover. Over the two years we attended, our son was given a new coach multiple times. Often, the new coach didn't seem to know anything about his strengths, what he had already learned, or what he was capable of doing. Instead of taking the time to get acquainted with their group they would sometimes simply move into whatever activity was planned. I understand the timing but it didn't feel authentic but rather check marks. It made it difficult to feel like he was consistently building on what he had learned due to so many changes Cancellations were another major frustration. Lessons were consistently cancelled due to staff call-outs or other issues or staff shortages, which left us accumulating countless makeup passes. We ultimately cancelled our membership and are now trying to use up all of those makeup passes, which honestly feels like we are using them simply because we have them rather than because we are getting much value from the lessons. The one coach we cannot say enough positive things about is Josh. If we could take him with us to our next swim school, we absolutely would. Josh took the time to genuinely get to know our son, understand his abilities, and build on the skills he already had. He looked like he actually wanted to be there, was engaged throughout the lesson, and genuinely seemed to care about the children he was teaching. He showed us what the experience could have been and so much more. It's sad because we really wanted this program to work. Even with a discount, the cost feels extremely high for the limited skill progression, frequent coaching changes, inconsistent instruction, and constant cancellations we experienced. After giving it two years, we ultimately decided it was time to move on. We are very unhappy with the overall experience and hope our next swim school provides more consistency and actual skill development.

I decided to check out Tae Kwon Do for my kids because I had read that it really helps them with…read moreself-discipline, self control, and discipline. I did a search for all the Tae Kwon Do dojos near me, and I emailed the three that had the best review. I asked a few questions. All of them responded, but Brian (owner of Highkicks) was the only one who didn't send me a canned response and answered all of my questions. The kids were reluctant, but after their first time, they (especially my son) loved it. We have been going ever since. Everyone there is nice and welcoming. When we enter, everyone greets us. One thing that struck me was that all the instructors knew my kids' names. My son had been doing running through FPYC for years, and the coaches didn't know his name. It wasn't the case here. Another thing that I loved was that my son loves it. I don't know you remember that Mastercard commercial where the dad puts his son in all these activities, and finally, the son loves Chess, and the dad yells with joy. It's EXACTLY how I feel. He wants to go and smiles the entire time. We did a month trial and signed up. Master Jake said to me that if there is any time I see that the kids are having problems with something, please let them know so they can help me. What?! I almost fainted when I heard that. I'm so glad that I chose them because they really care about the kids.

Their structure is very versatile, from going once a week to 2-3 times and even every day. Staff is all abundantly friendly. Each seems to really make an effort to get to know your child and help them with the skills they need. Recently my younger (only 3.5) started as well. They reassured us that even though he wasn't able to hold focus or stamina for a whole class it's still good for him to have the exposure and hopefully as time goes on he will adapt. But both love it! We look forward to having the kids spend the professional days off from school here as well as perhaps doing some weeks of camp in the summer time.

My experience at this barn was beyond disappointing. I had scheduled a trail ride for my fiance and…read moreme - as part of a full day of fun in Leesburg. I allotted plenty of time based on how long the trail ride was supposed to be. When we arrived, Kenny was nowhere to be found. We waited FORTY-FIVE MINUTES. We tried to kill time, wandering around the barn. I was appalled at the state of it - the interior and all the gear seemed extremely shabby, neglected and dirty. The horses were moderately cared for, but nowhere near as well as I've seen at other stables nearby. When they told us to choose a riding helmet, I wanted to die as I attempted to sift through the wall of spiderwebs... (see picture). When Kenny finally arrived, he gave a lame excuse that no one called to tell him we'd arrived; this in spite of the fact that we had a scheduled appointment time and several attempts to reach him - by both the staff and me - went straight to voicemail. The ride itself was fine; I appreciated going with just my fiance and Kenny as our guide. He did try to tailor the ride somewhat to our ability level, but for the price, and how much his lateness pushed us off-schedule for our other activities, I left wishing I had chosen any of the other stables in the area.
