Tucson JCC

The J is part of my silver sneakers program and here's the situation there. It's a lovely facility…read more New equipment, beautiful pool, tennis courts and pickleball. When snowbirds are here you can't really get into classes ( most are great) unless you set alarms for yourself and sign up a couple of days ahead. The place skews older and I although there are high school kids there in the afternoons it's not age diverse. Plus side is it's very forgiving and a great place to start weight lifting and more. There are paid programs for that and I think that would be worth it. I belong to a few other places so it's not a problem. I really like yin yoga there and trx . If this is going to be your main place you will be frustrated.

Okay... how did I NOT know this place existed?! That's…read moreexactly what I was thinking the first time I stepped foot onto the JCC. I discovered the Tucson Jewish Community Center after they hosted the Hot Cocoa Run 5K (hands down one of the funnest, most vendor-packed races I've ever done ), and let me tell you--walking into the JCC feels like stepping into a whole other world. This place is HUGE and has everything.They gifted a week pass in our swag bags from 5k and I fully leaned in--and I'm so glad I did. First off, the community + programming here is next level. I got to participate in pottery and ceramics classes (SO fun and surprisingly legit), and I love that they partner with local creatives and groups. It gives the whole place a collab, community-driven feel that I'm always looking for. On the fitness side--they're not playing around. I took multiple classes, and their cycle class (aka performance ride ) was actually really solid. Great energy, great programming. I also hit a strength-based class that delivered, and the gym floor itself is super clean, spacious, and not overcrowded (major win). The crowd is also refreshingly diverse in age, which I loved--it truly feels inclusive. And can we talk about the Cafe at the J... because YES. Tons of vegan options , actually flavorful, and super affordable. Not your typical "gym cafe" situation at all. Beyond that, this place is basically a mini campus--tennis, pools, art spaces, events, rentals, and even traditional Jewish baked goods (fresh bread, hello ). They also host a TON of events--like so many it's hard to keep up--so definitely check their calendar because there's always something happening. Overall, I'd absolutely go back. Whether you're going for fitness, arts, community events, or just to explore something new in Tucson--this place is a whole experience.

Kino Learning Center - Cooking Class

This is an amazing, affordable school, much more child/learning centered than the warehousing that…read moretakes place in the large, bureaucratic, public school system. I'm so glad that granddaughter goes to this school. I attend many events and find the teachers are happy and the students are thriving. The school has excellent leadership and educational practices. If you are curious, look them up on Facebook to see all the wonderful educational activities they offer! I cannot recommend this school highly enough.

Other schools would tell me, basically, that my son is incredibly smart, but that it won't matter…read morein his life because he's lazy. They would show me papers he'd torn up and pictures of his messy desk and then pull out 5 page long papers he'd written brilliantly and tell me, "He's clearly capable, but just doesn't care." Other schools would tell me how he's so kind to the other students, especially those getting bullied, and then he'd come home in tears because of how he saw others being treated - by teachers and students alike - and I could feel how isolated he felt. Now he runs a Dungeons and Dragons campaign with 4 other students on the weekends and their laughter fills our home. Now he's a peer mentor and helps resolve disputes, at a student level, when they arise. Now his teachers tell me how amazing and intuitive his questions are, how funny he can be, and how dedicated he is when he finds a topic that really interests him. My son comes home now and tells me about his day. My daughter wantsto go to school and pretends notto be sick sometimes, in the hopes I won't keep her home. I feel like Kino is all the best of what homeschooling is, but with teachers better than I could be at this point in my life. I don't feel as though I'm failing every morning when I drop them off at the front door. I feel, instead, that even when we can't do family dinners or I'm so busy with other obligations I barely see them for several days in a row - I feel like, it's okay because I'm doing something right. Arguably the biggest thing I can do right for them at this age.

Don't you love it when an experience exceeds all your expectations? That's what happened when I…read morehired Chef Doug for my private dinner party. I knew my in-home venue wouuld be challenging. Small dining area open to small kitchen. And stairs. Lots of stairs connect the kitchen level to the living and patio areas. But Chef Doug never batted an eye. He exudes confidence, knowledge and warmth. The menu he created was simply outstanding from appetizers to dessert. The service was seemless with impeccable timing. I don't like to post reviews, but feel compelled so others may enjoy the service of this incredible Chef.

If I could leave more than five stars I would. From our initial consultation with Doug I knew we…read morewere going to have an elevated experience. I could go on and on about the responsiveness, professionalism and attention to detail (intricately folded napkins, drink pairings, ect) but the food itself was the real deal. No smoke and mirrors, Max surprised us with delectable & mouth watering food for HOURS. We were served several courses of small plates poolside and accommodated a later than anticipated dinner service. At no point did they rush us or make us feel less than royalty, they made sure we took our time and enjoyed our evening. (Doug also gave us a lesson on opening a bottle of champagne with a kitchen knife, although optional.. 10/10 recommend) Do yourself a favor and skip the fancy restaurant, call these guys and wow several of your friends with this experience. Our menu was custom and it was so affordable. Doug and Max made this not only a fancy dinner, but an evening we won't soon forget. Thank you gentleman!! Will be talking about this with our friends for years to come.
