What a great experience! When searching for swim lessons I was hesitant because my little one is so…read moreyoung (9 months). But I was reassured once speaking and meeting with our amazing instructor Matthew. He called before the sessions to go over details, answering any and all questions.

Thank you kid swim for getting us your number one man Matthew.

My daughter started lessons with very little confidence in the water, and thanks to Cynthia's patience, encouragement, and incredible teaching skills, she is now not only swimming but truly loving it! Cynthia has a natural gift with children--she made each lesson fun, engaging, and perfectly tailored to my daughter's pace and comfort level. What impressed me most was her ability to balance safety, skill-building, and fun all at once. My daughter would light up before every lesson and leave the pool beaming with pride. Thanks to Cynthia, my daughter has developed strong swimming skills and a newfound confidence that will stay with her for life. We're so grateful for the care and dedication Cynthia brings to her work. She's a true gem and a major asset to Waterworks! Highly recommend her to any parent looking for a kind, skilled, and passionate swim instructor!

It was torture going there week after week seeing other kids advance and our guy stay at level 1. We took a big break from lessons until we found CC Swim Academy and Ali in particular, who is a fantastic instructor. Now, with two little ones, 5 and 3, we dove headfirst into lessons and they both progressed so quickly. Ali has taught them the building blocks of swimming and it was amazing to watch. They've now learned so much and Ali has made them really comfortable in the water. They jump in the pool, do flips, go on water slides, etc. All things that take confidence they learned from Ali.

They hog the same machines for hours, just yapping and on their phones, wasting paying guest's time and space.

She participated in…read moretwo other programs and had private lessons but was reluctant to swim and almost a minute behind the required time. Thank goodness I bumped into Coach Peter who suggested she come to one of their classes. In 6 sessions she shaved 50 seconds off her time, ended up qualifying for JGs (with 10 seconds to spare) AND decided to swim regularly with their team. A true miracle. All the coaches (shout out Shahr, Christian, Carlos) are great and my daughter really responds to them. It was a HUGE stroke of luck to have found this group when I did and I am eternally thankful for their efforts.

I thought I was attending an "old ladies swim aerobics class"...when I arrived, the coach asked me to swim across the pool..while I could avoid drowning, I had no idea about the fundamentals of swimming. Now, almost 2 years later, I swim (religiously) 3x a week as part of the SWIM FIT class. Coach Eric has been amazing and patient. The workout is better than anything I have done! I cannot rave enough about this program....it continues to be a "lifesaver" in my life!

Allyson is easy going, attentive, and approachable. She's patient, kind, and was extremely flexible with scheduling lessons. The ocean swim lesson was very helpful and she gave great tips for entering/exiting during the race. Bottom line she is a great swim coach. Highly recommend. Thanks so much Allyson!

The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely committed to fitness. I've learned proper form, improved my posture, and built strength I didn't know I had. When I first started lifting, I was wobbly and off-balance - like Bambi. Now, I feel confident and powerful. I've also gained a much better understanding of how important nutrition is. This is hands down the best gym I've ever been to, and I'm so glad I found it. Shout out to the trainer Alexis who has been so patient with me and cheered me on since day one. She's so motivational. She always has such a warm and positive spirit about her. I don't know how she does it with her super early morning classes lol She is truly a gem. Out of all trainers I have ever had she is the one that has inspired me the most to know that it's possible and I can do it. The proof is there! I've done DEXA scans along the way and I've continuously cut fat and gained muscle.

The small group training format makes a huge difference: the coaches genuinely care about your progress, and you feel like you're getting stronger together. Their approach is refreshingly balanced, no pressure to train every single day. They encourage consistency with a realistic 3x-a-week cadence that's sustainable and actually delivers results. One of the biggest standouts is their incredible nutritionist, Celia. She's knowledgeable, encouraging, and keeps things flexible and realistic, no rigid plans or extreme restrictions. Plus, because she's also a trainer at the gym, she understands the full picture of your training and can tailor her guidance accordingly. I've worked with several nutritionists in the past and Celia is by far the best. Lift Society even throws in the occasional social outing, which makes it feel more like a community than just a gym. It's honestly one of the hardest things to leave behind as I move from LA to Brooklyn.
