We have used Lesandro at United We Train for two dogs--- one was the most stubborn dog in the world…read moreand the other was afraid of his shadow. We did the hybrid training for both dogs and couldn't be happier with the results. Dogs are like kids, a lifetime commitment and we learned that we were part of the problem. Just because a dog learns something, doesn't mean they will continue to do it if their owner does not reinforce it. The training is ongoing, way after the formal training is done but with the skills Lesandro will teach you, you will do great. I'm much more confident now than I have ever been. If you have any dog issues or have a puppy that needs a good start, Lesandro is your guy. 5 stars is not enough!! And to top it off, he and Sarah are just great people and so easy to work with.

Those who pay to take classes take precedence apparently. Don't pay $50 a month to go here. There are much nicer gyms in the area for the same price that don't have huge guided work out classes taking up half of the gym and equipment. Literally had an instructor steal the bench I was using and say she'd give it back in 30 minutes. All of that BS on top of the horrible parking situation where you'll pay $50 a month to get parking tickets, disgusting locker rooms, constant early closures and broken equipment. The only nice thing about this gym is the friends I've made.

I've done it all here & can say they are the best hands down. They LOVE what they do & it shows from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out. I would HIGHLY recommend Ridgeside you won't be disappointed. More info for those that care: We found out our new puppy was going to be delivered while we were out of town & we had no one in town to help us. I was freaking out. I didn't know what to do and the people delivering our new puppy were not willing to accommodate a different time to deliver our puppy. I was in a bind and they agreed to help us. We were brand new to their business & planned to board and train her at Ridgeside so we asked if they could help us and they agreed to go VERY out of their way to help us (they had to take multiple calls to arrange so many different things they even had to wake up very early in the morning & agreed to have my puppy delivered to their own house to make it all work out for us. I couldn't believe it, I was in a bad spot and they really helped show up for me & my lil pup which they didn't have to do. On top of that because my puppy was still young and hadn't had all of her shots she wasn't able to be around the other dogs at their facility (which was a good sign to me because jt showed they really care about the health and safety of all the animals they board) so they arranged for one of their staff members (Erica, who was also amazing) to watch our puppy at her own home and train her. Erica sent pictures, videos and updates during the 2 week puppy training which was really nice as well. The owners & the staff have been nothing but amazing.

I waited several days to decide what to say. I had an extremely negative experience with this…read morecompany. They offered me service dog training, with the first step being the puppy class (1800.00), then my puppy could move on to learn service work (a total of 4500.00). I am disabled and was grateful they offered this service. After puppy training, I met with the trainer (Andy), who does not listen and will not let you speak. He talked over me multiple times, and also told me my puppy was only partially trained and I would do the rest at home. Oh, and he forgot to work on recall. These folks were hired because of my lack of time to train my dog. I was shocked. Andy took my payment and then finally, after an hour of listening to his ranting, where it seemed he did not breathe between sentences, he brought me my puppy who I hand been missing terribly, (they declined to let me visit), who was very clean, but mostly untrained. Then I was told she was not fit for service. Andy could not explain it other than to talk about 7 lanes on a highway? I then began a panic attack and he kept talking (I have panic disorder which he knew). I had mentioned I needed help with being alerted to low blood sugar. He said it was nearly impossible and he would have to collect vials of blood from me multiple times a day. I asked how the other dogs were trained for diabetics. He did not know. I looked it up when I got home and learned Andy knew nothing about the subject. Saliva is what is used by service dog trainers. I believe he declined to train my dog because he does not know how. During the course of this fiasco, Andy mentioned how dirty and matted she was when they gave her a bath. He told me she arrived that way, which is untrue. She had been washed and brushed prior to drop off. I believe she got that way in their care (or lack of care). If you use this company to train your dog, I recommend recording ever interaction. The owner Mike, later denied me being told they would not train Sunday (my puppy) because of her young age. Lies come pouring out of their mouths. They scammed a disabled person. I am planning to take legal action. I sam certain they will make a reply too this and lie more. Feel free to look me up. I am a respectable local business owner.

This is the only facility with hydro rider- a spin class in the pool. It fills up fast, so call and reserve a bike, and bring your own towel. Cansler is a great facility and the Y staff is very friendly. On my visits, it was not as crowded as my usual Y and parking was not a problem. It's a shared lot with O'Connor Senior Center and there's an overflow lot across Jessamine. Just remember to bring your towel as they don't have towels. I highly recommend Cansler if you are looking for a fitness canter
