20 Best Free Training Programs For Adults In Colorado Springs, CO (2022 Updated)

Before intellitec i had no clue what i wanted to do with my future. I was kind of just floating around not taking anything seriously. Then when i found my passion for the medical field i had a really hard time figuring out where to start. Intellitec gave me and opportunity of a lifetime. Not only did this experience teach me to adapt to unfamiliar circumstances, it showed me that even when u think there isn’t a way, there always is. Along my journey at intellitec i met some of the most warm hearted people who have nothing but your best interests in mind. Mr. Roby, one of the instructors, creates a comfortable atmosphere that keeps his students engaged. Miss Davis, former student and now instructor, has zero issue with breaking a subject down one step at a time at a pace you are comfortable with. Mr. Thorn, our lab instructor, is very informative and allows u to branch off so that you can become more familiar with the craft. Last but not least, Miss Lo, intellitec’s instructor and extern coordinator, is someone you can ALWAYS go to no matter the problem. She’s not only your shoulder to cry on when you need one but she’s also someone with the most remarkable networking skills. Miss Lo. got me an interview for a job outside of school in ONE 5 MINUTE PHONE CALL and because of her i am now currently employed at the location i externed at. Her number is definitely one you should have. Overall Intellitec has done nothing but provide me with a second family. Anyone who is interested shouldn’t hesitate a second ! *the photo is my new family at the QwikCareMd office*ANGEL AVINA

I just wanted to give a positive shout out to the teacher of CCR:100. Until recently, I didn't know how this psychology class would be applicable to the real world. Rest assured, it is. I won't mention the name of the restaurant, but there is currently a GM that has enjoys screaming at employees in front of customers, all day. You are rushed through training and at times purposely trained wrong. With this class I was able to professionally express to the GM how this coercive behavior is not okay to do in front of a customer. I was able to point out flaws in management skills professionally, which in the long run has saved my record. The GM used nothing but unprofessionalism and excuses throughout each email proving strong signs of weak leadership skills. These emails include insults and calling me a liar. there was no professionalism, whatsoever. This particular class gives students the strength, courage, and applicable skills to improve the workplace, to find the right work environment, and essentially teaches you a form of management that is a business psychology applicable when you need it most. Thanks Mr. GRonald Lucier

Current HVAC student and very pleased with my education so far. The teachers care about not only my education but my goals and path moving forward. I was having a tough time getting employers to notice me and take my resume seriously. Until I asked Rob Gleghorn, the Career Services Manager, for help that is. He helped me sort out my resume, going above and beyond to make sure it was the best version I could present. I started getting calls from employers the next day. I instantly went from hoping to land an interview to trying to figure out how to choose from the best option. I feel IntelliTec is more than just a school, it's a career builder. The teachers are knowledgeable in their field and always willing to spend extra time going over subject matter that I have questions about. The faculty members have a way of making me feel proud of my direction and accomplishments.Geoff Brown

Terrible school. They charge you an absurd amount for supplies after you've paid for classes and do not disclose it will be a charged item (Or that you will be kicked out of the class and your seat given to another person if you do not pay. You know, the class you already paid for and got in?). Not only that, this is a second job for most teachers, so good luck finding one that actually has enough energy or fs to give to teach a night or afternoon classes. Dont forget that they like to cut class lengths in half (Semester to a quarter), double the amount of time in class (from 2-4 hours), not inform anyone in the class of this AND move the location of where the class is supposed to be last minute to another campus. Oh! And let's stack on more homework than a someone taking a doctorate because the teachers figured that using an online program will make it so they only need to sit around, and they dont care enough to have the class there for the entire 4 hours. DO NOT GO HERE. GO LITERALLY TO ANY OTHER SCHOOL IN THE STATE KIDS. It's a bigger cash grab than a pyramid scheme. Only reason youd ever take a CMC class is for an AP Highschool class. I cannot stress that youd have more fun waisting your money on yourself over this absolute joke of a school.Carlton Phelps

This is my second semester at CMC. I really love the teachers and the price!! I would recommend anyone to attend here, especially if you are an in-district student. It's very affordable! I have found the teachers to be amazing. All of my teachers have been very engaging and interested in helping me succeed in my career goals. I would say there is only one downside that I have encountered and that is lack of flexibility in scheduling. I needed very specific classes, and they all seemed to be scheduled on top of each other. This led me to a stretched out schedule and lots of miles traveled (& wasted time) to other campuses to get in the classes I need. But I made it work and for the price and amazing professors, I am very happy that I was able to make it work. CMC has been great!!Amy Kovach

Colorado Mountain College (CMC) is an accredited two-year and four-year institution with eleven college campuses serving 12,000 square miles in Western Colorado, United States. Founded in 1965, the institution grants more than 120 bachelor's degrees, associate degrees, and certificates, in a wide range of fields from Digital Media to Ski Area Operations. Approximately 20,000 students take on-campus or online classes every year, with a college-wide ratio of thirteen students to each teacher.Badr A

Pros: I like Colorado College, and the block plan and small intimate class size really intrigued me into coming here, even though I'm not a native Coloradan. It's definitely a great location if you love the outdoors and a good four seasons of weather. Those are the main reasons I chose this school. I quickly learned that I could fit in here! Additionally, I love CC's approaches to learning such as their sustainability agreement and anti racist approach. They're even starting to pick up on mental health which everyone can agree is very important nowadays. The block plan is a great way to learn content, especially if balancing multiple semester classes at once doesn't seem desirable to you. If that is the case, consider this school, since there's only about less than 10 schools on the Block Plan. Overall, I'd give CC as a whole 5 out of 5 stars, and I hope you consider attending! It's truly a hidden gem school in the heart of the Rockies!Hunter Markowich

I don’t have 1 bad thing to say about Colorado College. When I visited here a year ago, the staff and students were very helpful and kind. While wandering around the campus, I had numerous people ask if I needed anything or help me find different places. The buildings and sights are great. I would definitely recommend this school.Expl0r

Beautiful area to walk through and enjoy the trees and the grass. be aware that they are currently requiring masks anywhere on campus so even walking around outside you'll need a mask. It's their private property so they can do what they want. It's a small sacrifice to make though to enjoy the space.Josh West

I loved this college, compared to a university I saved a TON of money, and I have had nothing but amazing experiences with staff and faculty. They went above and beyond to help me and make sure that I was taking the correct classes for what I wanted to do and that all my credits would transfer. The professors are dedicated to helping the students that want to be helped, just like any school there are the students who don't care and don't put in the effort. It is your money so you are responsible for showing up and doing the work, but as long as you do your professors will be there to help. The campus is also pretty and well maintained.Sarah Reinick

I went to college here for welding and i have to say it was the best schooling experience i have ever had in my life the teachers actually care and are real. They really want to help you and make sure you achive. My welding instructor is a great man and i Larned alot from him. Pls as a place you are curious about having your child attend i recommend it highly.Hayden Jungemann (Iron Tank)

Good little community college. Attended myself and currently have a daughter there. Financial aid was easy to apply for and they explain everything fairly well. Class sizes were ok and instructors were laid back. Maybe a little too much! Lots of parking and a well laid out campus with constant police presence.Kerry Dougherty

Music is good and preaching is usual fair for these days in the US of A you'll enjoy the message as it's comforting and never offensive or abrasive watered down Christianity is the soup of the day and its served up at all large churches to keep the flocks coming and the money flowing in no doubt the leaders love the Lord though they're not leading but rather nudging folks a bit here and there Jesus said when they hate you remember they hated me first there's none of that going on as anything offensive or even mildly negative is trimmed off the brisket and thrown in the waste receptacle milk is served at room temperature never any talk of sin or punishment or wrath though the Bible is full of those words the church is asleep and the leaders are wealthy and complacent and well fed that's my honest and sincere opinionAffordable Hyperbaric Solutions

I am not a member of this church. However, I attended the Christmas service and a city wide worship night last night. Every one there was welcoming and friendly. The worship was fantastic, and the messages were spot on. The Christmas service was very crowded but it was not too overwhelming and they had people welcoming you through the door, which was very nice.Robyn Christine

Adevotional place for worshipping The Lord Jesus. Also a place for prayers and learning Bible . A place for various Ministries specially for youth and childten Sunday School also for ladies Ministries. A very good place for people of all ages with good gatherings in the service of Lord .Virendra Gulati

I am not one to leave many reviews, but I like to be upfront and honest when I do. When my friend invited me to join her for a free introduction (Fundamentals) class, I assumed it would be an easy-peasy afternoon “stretch.” What I got was a fantastic workout from an excellent instructor that made me leave with a newfound respect for what Pure Barre has to offer. I am not only pleased with the training but with the instructors as well. Whether I want a morning session or afternoon, I am presented with a quality workout, a knowledgeable instructor, and a time slot that fits my schedule. I’m not sure how, but even my body has begun to show its strength in just as little as 5-6 sessions. I am more than pleased and will continue classes for the foreseeable future.Mrs. Leon

I have been a part of the Colorado Springs Pure Barre community for over five years and it continues to be one of THE most effective workouts that I do! The variety of classes build strength and flexibility and the stretching throughout balances all the focused movements. Every class is motivating and makes you want to come back for more! Griffin, the owner, and all the teachers and staff are friendly, inviting and help to make your class all about you. A total body workout that is about toning and lifting! It's addicting and I love it and the community can’t be beat!Mina Liebert

I tucked it out at Pure Barre Colorado Springs for several years, and loved every minute of it! The workouts are intensely effective, and changed not only my body but my mind as well. Strength comes with moving beyond your comfort zone, and my life has been full of it! The staff at Pure Barre COS is knowledgeable, caring, and supportive, come what may. They are willing to listen, celebrate successes, and push you to your full potential. I moved, so I must go to another studio. Once a barre fly, forever a barre fly. Fully recommend!!!Tondalaya Crites

I started taking salsa lessons over a month ago. I've wanted to learn salsa for a long time now and finally put it in motion. The two instructors I've had are Latisha and Claudia. Latisha makes class fun and informative. She has so much talent while making you feel comfortable learning. Claudia is a newer teacher but that doesn't mean that the classes are lacking. She's funny and light-hearted while giving you a solid workout and lesson. She's a wonderful instructor. I look forward to my three classes every week and the monthly socials. The community is wonderful. If you're interested in learning a variety of Latin dance styles or just one, I highly recommend you come to Latisha Hardy's dance studio.Nicole J

Colorado Springs is so lucky to have Tish and her studio in our community! I have been taking Salsa lessons with Tish for a few months now and have genuinely loved every minute I am with her. I am a very beginner dancer, and she and her studio are safe, fun, exciting places to be- AND my dancing is getting better and better. Tish has created an amazing environment where it is easy to learn, laugh, improve your dancing, and make new friends. She has given me such an appreciation of dance, salsa, and the music. Do not hesitate to takes classes at Latisha Hardy Dance & Company it is the best decision I have made in a long time- you will enjoy it!Megan Barry

I have never considered myself a dancer. I always feared judgement and embarrassment so I never went to a studio or took classes. My fiancee has danced salsa all her life and wanted me to learn so that we could dance at our wedding. Im so glad that I found this studio. From the first moment I walked in I felt welcomed and I was able to learn the basics quickly. I now have a membership and Im excited about becoming the dancer I never thought I could be.Joey Charles

I can not rave enough about Fern and Shy over at Two Tails! They have truly changed my life and it was worth the months of waiting to get in (so be patient people, it’s totally worth the wait and your money!!). When I first met them, I was not a confident dog owner at all and Scooby was reactive to other dogs and people. He is my first dog and realistically I knew nothing about being a great dog owner. Hiking and being outdoors is a HUGE part of my life and I could never truly share that passion with Scooby because of his reactivity. I can now confidently take Scooby on any hike I’d like (even crushed nine 14ers this summer!) and have it be an enjoyable and memorable experience! This was not possible before Two Tails. We can even enjoy food and beer after at a brewery together! It feels like we are just starting to really live life together all thanks to Two Tails. Fern isn’t the kind of dude that is going to sugar coat things. He gives you information straight up and expects you to put in the time and effort into training just as he is doing for you. Your dog will never be “perfect” but consistency is everything!!!! Spend the money, put in the time, and get the tools you need from Two Tails to give you and your dog the life you both deserve and have always wanted.amarilees bolorin

Two Tails training is the best thing to ever happen to our family. We set up a consultation with Fern when we had just had it with our dogs. Starting at that consultation, we started on our homework and started seeing improvements. Now, we are almost to graduation, and we continually say how much Two Tails has changed our lives. We started out with 3 large, untrained, reactive, aggressive dogs. Now, we have 3 dogs who we can actually enjoy and relax with. Walks are stress-free and enjoyable (never something we thought was possible). We have put in lots of work and still have lots more to do, and we are so excited to continue seeing results. If you are debating setting up a consultation, do it. It will change your entire life (and your dog’s life). You have to be willing to put in the work every day, but it is 1000% worth it. Thank you to Fern for teaching us how to be better people and better dog owners.Krista Davis

I will forever be grateful for all of the skills and knowledge gathered during our training at Two Tails. My husband and I came to Two Tails after adopting a very reactive dog. We felt completely helpless, stressed and really had no idea how to help our new pup that was terrified of absolutely everything. Fernando helped us learn how to communicate with our dog and gave us the tools necessary to guide and support her. Fernando shared his wisdom in a way that was, not only easy to understand, but easy to put into action. He also was always honest, very responsive, and never sugar coated anything, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Fernando at Two Tails Training and can honestly say that my time training with Fernando has been invaluable and life-changing.NAMI Colorado Springs

WONDERFUL place for taking cooking classes and for buying fresh spices, hard to find foodstuffs for cooking and quality items for cooking. I have taken in store and on-line classes from 3 chefs and cooks so far, all well trained with a wealth of info. (Dave and Courtney are special.) In store are always a fun, social experience where you get to eat 3-4 dishes in meal form after (except baking where you take home what you make) and all classes with take-home in your own-brought containers for even another meal or so. Lots of smiling, laughs, good smells, and foods make for a good lunch or evening time entertainment and learning with recipes to take home. The kid's classes and many adult ones sell out fast! So get your place early. A Louisana friend says it is THE place in town to buy authentic grits. I love their spices myself. There are hard-to-find Asian, African and Middle Eastern spices freshly ground. They supply local honeys even in bulk, including their own hive. They have fresh foodstuffs from local suppliers like yummy Sawatch butter. In summer/early fall, they have started a small farmers market in yard with local suppliers twice monthly on Saturdays. I love the enthusiasm of this place and will keep coming back.Colleen

Such an amazing experience! My girlfriend and I attended a group class taught by Dave and we loved every second of it. Immediately after walking in, you can smell all the fragrant spices and seasonings. Dave was an awesome teacher who used the perfect amount of humor to keep everyone engaged and very knowledgeable of so many different types of premium ingredients and cooking styles. Everything was set up in such an easy to understand process. The stations were all set up with efficiency in mind which made the actual process that much better. Dave also provided demonstrations of different preparation techniques that I will absolutely be using in the kitchen from now on. And at the end of it all we all got a chance to taste and enjoy the meals that were made. Overall it was such an amazing experience and I will absolutely be recommending Gather to anyone interested in stepping up their game in the kitchen.Alan Piper

The French Countryside class was great. I had a great time, learned a few things and got some new recipes to play with. I love Beef Bourguignon but always struggle to make it. The leftovers got tremendous approval from my spouse. The flavors in the lamb stew with beans were exceptional. Dave had the class plan and ingredients all prepared and well organized. The instructions were clear and his constant checking, instructions and clarification were invaluable. I look forward to preparing these recipes for my family.Cori Hauter

Love our experience here! The instructors are patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and fun! Family run and owned! They keep classes small and relaxed, usually with fun music to keep you focused though. You can really see the change in our dog from first day to 3rd week graduation from obedience 1. I thought my dog was just high strung and anxious, she just needed some positive reinforce and fun exercises. They make it easy to keep up at home and easy to understand the reasons behind what we are doing. Very clean. Never smells! Great selection of treats, toys, and gear! Adore the doggy snack bar full of bones, antlers, cod skins, and more. We love the puppy cupcakes at the end of class as well. Also affordable pricing for classes and retail. We are amazed by the front lead harness they told us about! I cannot recommend this place enough! Also, as a queer couple, this place has been open and accepting, even accommodating gender neutral pronouns!Shane Ashwind

Zoom Room is absolutely phenomenal! I have been looking for a way for my dog to get some extra exercise and stimulation, as well as get him out of the house for a while. I brought my dog, Jackson, in for private gym time to see if he would enjoy the environment and he had a blast! JJ showed me how to help get Jackson involved with the appropriate obstacles and helped us pick a perfect walking harness that immediately stopped Jackson's pulling! I've already recommended Zoom Room Dog Training to at least 10 people and Jackson has only been once! We will definitely keep coming back and are hoping Jackson can work his way up to the group classes. I recommend you get a dog just so you can take them here!Jessica H

My husband and I got our first dog as adults in March. Milo was only 8 weeks when we got him and we wanted to make sure he is the best dog he can be. We have been doing training with him at the zoom room since he was 10 weeks old. It was great to have a safe place for him to play with other puppies before he was fully vaccinated. He has since moved into puppy plus and will be trying obedience 1 soon! Not only does Milo absolutely love going here, but JJ, Luisa and all the trainers and staff have been a wonderful resource for us first time dog owners/parents. They also have a great selection of treats and other doggie necessities for purchase. I highly recommend zoom room!Amber Sager

The employees at this business are awesome! When I explained that I didn't get paid until Friday and wanted to take the Thursday class they said they would work with me and they did. They explain to me that they are a family-owned business and understand my situation. They helped me register. I'm a Hands-On learner and the class had plenty of opportunity to practice Hands-On skills. The class instructor was thorough in explaining each skill we went over. The time allotted the class was well spent. The facility was clean, including the women's bathroom. The test was well-prepared and they graded the tests immediately so you would know what your score was before you left.Victoria Jett

I can’t say enough good things about EdCor and their quality instructors. I recently took ACLS for the 1st time in my nursing career. From my 1st interaction with Nathan who scheduled me into the course, receiving clear prep instructions, and the 2 day course with knowledgeable and witty instructors- the learning environment was interactive and seamless. It was great to learn from nurses, paramedics, and even respiratory therapists in the course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in really learning while really enjoying the learning process 🙂Tani Calderon

Nathan Turner and Linda Windsheimer went above and beyond yesterday to assist me with completing an ACLS provider course. Because of their efforts, I will be able to attend an Air Force Critical Care Air Transport Team training class four weeks from now. In addition to their willingness to work me into their schedule, the quality and personal focus of the education they provided was the best I have received to date. No other group is able to provide this level of service. I recommend the EdCor team without reservation.Ron Robinson

SoCo is simply the best fitness community in the Springs! The leadership and members have built a cohesive community around common interests like CF, holistic wellness and fitness, family, fun, and competition. The gym routinely updates the space and adds to their equipment collection. They have a fantastic space that they maximize the use of with open gym, a variety of classes, competitions, and other events. There are lots of different ‘types’ of members and the coaches and long time members do an awesome job of welcoming everyone and ensuring everyone gets their fitness on. The classes are timely, so you get a great workout in an hour! If you’re looking for a friend to do some other fitness activity, a triathlon, marathon, mountain biking, etc, you won’t have a problem finding a friend from the gym. The members are alway getting together to participate or compete in the variety of outdoor activities in the area! I can’t recommend SoCo enough!Jessica Caddell

I was super intimidated to try CrossFit 6 months ago. I walked into this gym in March and was super impressed by the cleanliness/quality of the equipment and the knowledge and professionalism of the staff. The coaches truly care about our safety and success. I love the team atmosphere and have been hooked. I generally go 5 days a week. If you aren’t feeling super confident the coaches will take the time to teach and help scale the workout to your ability. Highly recommend this gym to anyone beginner to elite.Heather Harris

Looking for a clean, community oriented, dog-friendly gym with all the equipment you need? SoCo is it. With the most helpful coaches (who also provide nutrition guidance upon request), programming, range of class and open gym times, you'll reach your goals in no time. When we moved here, we didn't have to search long for a gym that filled all our boxes. We, including our dog, were instantly welcomed at SoCo and felt at home. SoCo and the team has exceeded our expectations. Our team. Truly more than a gym.Chelzea Laserna

I think one of the most surprising things, which was completely unintentional, was that in the first month I lost 20 pounds! Okay I know that sounds crazy because so many people have to work really hard to lose even 5 pounds a month. With jiu-jitsu I didn't even have to think about it at all. So in total I have lost 30 pounds since I started practicing jujitsu 3 months ago. Overall, jujitsu has improved my physical and mental health. A greater impact to my well-being than any other gym membership could be. I turned 21 and decided it was time to learn self-defense. Yet instead of just carrying a firearm, I decided to learn a martial art. Anyone can buy the self-protection assurance that a firearm has but I know it will take several years to master the art. Honestly I'm excited for the journey itself. I'm also glad there are these immediate health benefits that anyone can get simply from dedication to practice. But that's not anything special. It has been so easy because of how fun the environment and atmosphere is at the gym. We listen to good music while we practice. Sometimes we watch YouTube videos and tournaments. We sometimes have a few minutes to talk with our partners which goes a long way towards the feeling of brotherhood. What I really appreciate about Coach Avi is that he has morning and evening classes several times a week so you can fit classes into your schedule to suit your needs. If you sleep in and miss morning class there's always evening class. If you're really sore one day you can just go the next day. You're never missing anything if something comes up. Even if you're sick for a week, you can just come back the next week and catch up because lessons repeat themselves. Other gyms I've been to only have 30-minute sessions once or twice a week and you pay the same price for it. Obviously while some martial arts academies want your money, Instructor Avi just wants you to learn jujitsu. I feel that I am part of a team and that there is brotherhood among everyone who walks on the mat. Before starting each class, we have a unofficial motto that is "Patience because JiuJitsu is a long road and gratitude for those by your side". When we stepped onto the mat, we put aside everything that happened that day. Mentally, it helps me settle down and be happy knowing that no matter what happens that week, I can go to jujitsu and forget about it for an hour or two. For anyone wondering whether to start JiuJitsu or not, I would say give it a try! No harm in trying and you won't regret it. Thank you to Coach Avi and all the teachers. That's all, your dedication has inspired a lot of young men like me.Nikolas Shull

Only went once as a trial class. I've done grappling on and off for about 10 years. Seems like a good group of people and the Black Belt there is legit. But there was a blue belt that I believe is a coach. I applied a really simple and common forearm choke and I didn't apply it forcefully. She told me after rolled, that it was a jerk move and was "Rapey". I demonstrated this with a few other Jiu Jitsu coaches and they said there was nothing wrong with it and it was common choke. I am not sure what happened in the past with that coach, but I wouldn't go to this place. They are limiting students in their ability to learn and practice the defense aspect of the art.Chris Scoggins

For those of you struggling to get into an exercise routine, taking jiujitsu provides the motivation that carries you through the times that maybe the scale isn’t reflecting the work you’re putting in (not to say that you won’t lose weight if you want to – you definitely will!). This is the prime school for this, not just for the skill and expertise of the coaches but also for the fact that it feels like you gain a new family. Come for your self defense and health, stay for the tribe of supportive and encouraging people who would have your back in a second if you ever needed it.Anna-Maria De Costa

I met the owner of Jakt Muscle Training Facility in 2013, and was blown away by her passion for fitness, and truly inspiring and helping her athletes towards their goals. Evie has a heart of gold and what I love about Jakt Muscle is the community. This facility is not just a place to go workout. It's a place to gather with your friends, and others who inspire you to become the best version of yourself. Evie helps her clients with fitness, nutrition, holistic health, and goal setting both in and out of the gym, and I love seeing that. She has created a culture where others want to do the same, and are eager to make the world a better place. I've taught a few dōTERRA classes in her space with her team, and I truly enjoy connecting with her clients and friends who have become family!! Her space is welcome to people at all levels of their health and wellness journey, so if you're looking for a place with great community, inspirational people, and a super clean and organized place to get your sweat on, Jakt Muscle is the place to go!!audra robinson

Motivating. This facility is just that. Athletes of all ages, and of all types of background come here for a common goal…to improve themselves. The facility itself is clean and has all the equipment needed to meet your goals. The personal trainers here know what they are doing. If it's to lose weight, compete in bodybuilding of weightlifting, or you just want to be healthy; this gym will help you get there. It is open anytime for members with key access. And you also get access to the best supplement shop in the Springs, and the best sports rehab therapists to help you not hate your body! I was personally coached by Evie, the owner and have learned and improved so much. Best decision I ever made. I highly recommend!Glenda Woodard

The 24 hour access has been a wonderfully utilized feature in my busy day! But most of all, I appreciate the positive and encouraging environment. The equipment is top notch and offers everything I need from Olympic lifting to muscle-focused machines to a variety of cardio options. As an added bonus, I can get high quality supplements right there. I love being able to easily support a well-deserved and hard- earned small business.Katie White

Warrior Fitness Center is an outstanding facility to train at. I was very impressed with the coaching, the staff, curriculum, and the environment as a whole. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly. Prior to joining I heard great things about this gym. They did not disappoint and hold up to their great reputation. Coach Larry does not just show moves but explains everything methodically and thoroughly. I really enjoyed that aspect. On another side note, I had a shorter stint at Warriors because I was in the process of moving to another city. Even with my circumstances, they worked around them. That itself impressed me immensely. This showed great character and customer service on their end. They have many awesome options and they do not disappoint! Everything is A+. here!Christopher Guambana

Great place, very knowledgeable staff and clean facility. As a contractor I value taking your time with newer people. Which is something that is done here. If you are new and want to learn some great stuff. This is definitely the place. They give you your first week free so you can get a feel for what you like. And let you get the gear you need after that week. Many people I trust recommended this place after I did extensive research of where I wanted to train. So I checked it out for myself and now I can confidently say this is where I will be training from here on out. Thanks warrior team!joe villalobos

I really enjoy the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes and culture at Warrior Fitness Center. My children and I have been training here for several years, and I am always impressed that no matter who comes in, they always leave having learned something. Any given class, you could be training with regional or National champions and medalists, but they are always working to improve themselves and their training partners.Bryanna Jahn

Great Class! A bonus of taking his class is that you will be able to obtain additional UTAH Carry License valid in a few extra states. Most class instructors around CO will not provide that. The time in class will fly by. The instructor’s pace is easy to follow. Bill Peterson takes the time to tell you Important details, as well as answer questions as they arise. There were real scenarios that made the learning experience easy to understand. I learned valuable information that will help me to be prepared in the event of an emergency where I might need to defend myself. I completed the CCW class. DEC 15 2019. In Fort Collins.Wilberfours Pressto

Awesome! Bill is personable, professional and thorough. Class is beginner friendly and Bill is credentialed to certify you for Utah permit as well which adds additional states of reciprocity. CHS partners with U.S. LawShield, a sort of self defense premier legal representation insurance team with some unique competitive advantages, that offers in class discounts with a cancellation grace period of one week. My martial arts studio offers the same course for 179.99…jonathan kramer

Instructor was very well versed in the law and common sense scenarios. He gave good advice and knows his material inside out. I was happy to have completed this course with my family. They also have a protection program which is offered to class students should you need legal protection if the need arises from using force. I was impressed and recommend this class for anyone who is considering getting their concealed carry permit.Bob Windham

We visited while in Colorado springs. My kids were looking forward to this for months. When I arrived the lady at the desk was arguing with her son on the phone and the smell of the trash nearby was overwhelming. Still the kids were excited until the lady continued to follow them, nitpicking everything they did. First there was a "tool" hanging that looked like an obstacle that my son was playing with and she snapped at him. Then the kids were trying the slack line and using a rope hanging nearby to help them across, she came over and put the rope up so they couldn't use it and told them they need to work on balance more. She shouted out encouragement to the kids who were members, but never once tried to encourage my kids who were trying this for the first time. I don't know why she was determined to ruin our experience, but she was and she succeeded.Brittany Huston

The gym itself it pretty cool. The kids enjoyed themselves. The coaches are encouraging and present. However I would not recommend for birthday parties. Parents were asked to sign waivers to be on the mat with their kids then consistently asked to leave to mat. The birthday childs parents were even asked to leave unless they were taking pictures. The reason, "in the past parents had pushed their kids to do exercises resulting in them getting hurt". So, what was the point in signing an adult waiver from the start? You're basically paying for the gym time, coaches/babysitter and an empty open room. I think we'll stick with the Ninja Gym at Lost Island for future parties where you're able to encourage and be present with your child.Paz Family

We love Altitude Ninja Gym! We joined hoping the weekly class would help our 5 year old become more confident in his skills. Thanks to the excellent coaches and owner Michelle, he is much more confident around the course AND trying new skills outside of the gym now! Michelle is very compassionate, flexible and understanding; she is very dedicated to the success of each Ninja. Thank you ANG!Janet Wagner

I’m usually not one to write reviews but in this instance I can’t shake how disappointed I am. After doing some investigating online, I was really excited to check this place out and decided to stop by in person to see about scheduling some training sessions and information on daycare, possibly a tour. I walked in and was greeted. I told the gal I was new and was there to kinda check things out. She handed me a couple of brochures and walked away. That was it. Out of the 4 or 5 people that were standing around the front desk area, no one asked if I had any questions or seemed even remotely interested that I was there. As a potential customer I’ve never felt so insulted. I can totally understand when things are crazy busy having to step away, but there was only 1 other person at the counter from what I could tell. And if you are busy simply saying something like “I’ll be right back to answer any questions you may have…” can make a huge difference. Definitely not the first impression I was expecting. It looked like a very nice facility though. Really unfortunate experience. UPDATE: After reaching out to management and setting up an appointment, we were given a facility tour and a free training consult for one of our dogs. It was a great experience and we are looking forward to working with the facility further. Thanks Colton we appreciate it!Emma Newton

I was looking for some help with my 1 year old pup I got from the humane society. She is sweet as sugar and gets along great with my 2 dogs at home…. but… When I take her out of the house on leash she has been crazy!!! I tried a harness, a gentle leader, and a prong collar (I really had no idea what I was doing). Nothing helped, she broke off the leash a few times, and I was honestly scared that one day she would cause damage that would lead to vet bills and a lawsuit. I checked out a few training places, and the prices were so high! I found the reactive dog class at under the sun. While there is still a price tag on this training, it's not as much as many other places, and I got training out of it as well. My puppy is a great girl now, I have confidence that I will be safe going anywhere, and it didn't break the bank. Thank you to my class trainers Tim and Keri for your time, patients, and expertise.Joy Kinzer-Montgomery

We have searched and searched for training for our German Shepherd puppy and never found the perfect fit until Under the Sun. Furthermore, we never sign up for something on the spot but during our initial consultation we were ready to get started immediately. We've worked with Chad and Tim and they both are phenomenal. We've seen so much progress with our dog in just two weeks! The office staff is very friendly. The trainers are very accommodating, knowledgeable, and fun to work with I'm so happy we've found them.Tiffany Montoya

One of my first interactions at ACI was with Joy McGinnis. At the time, she was the Client Services Associate and the face of ACI in Colorado Springs. Not only was she a plethora of information, but she would always follow through with any requests or questions we had. Having her there on a daily basis made attending ACI extremely enjoyable. She has always been very personable and approachable while keeping a professional posture. 90% of my questions and concerns regarding the program or resources were addressed by her and she consistently delivered. Joy has done so well that she was offered a new position within the same organization as an Employment Development Manager. Although she is missed welcoming students as they arrive at ACI, she is already completely immersed in her new role, helping students with their future career goals and setting them up for success. Joy is a tremendous asset for ACI Learning and any other organization she may encounter in her journey. She will continue to advance in her career and strive for more because of her excellent work ethic, her desire to help others, and the knowledge and experience she brings to the table. I am thankful to have met her and look forward to seeing her future accomplishments.Roxy Nieves

ACI Learning is a good way to start if you want to get into an IT careers. Staff and instructors are very kind and helpful, lots of good hearted people. They care about students, making sure everyone understands the course materials, as well as care about their goals and career success. Sarah Arnold, career training manager, was always so helpful especially, with my enrollment and providing me with information, and easy to reach when there is any questions or concerns. This school is good also for the ones that are transitioning out the Military, Veterans, that are seeking for a career in IT or advancement in career. They help with your resume and provide you with lots of useful resources for seeking employment as well.Jay Lee

The staff here is great! Sarah was awesome helping me get all my documents ready for enrollment. I will say this school gives you a lot of information at once so be prepared. I do fell like this school isn't really for beginners like myself but I still learned a lot. Bryan our mentor is the best! He explained the information in a way that wasn't confusing. Troy and Paul were amazing also! Joy and Joyce will make sure your resume is on point and will have classes helping you to look for jobs. They are the best and I am happy that I got a chance to work with them. I do wish the school was longer and more hands on. I had a really good experience here and I will miss this place!Brittani Greene

I am so happy I found Pure Barre! The low to no impact, high-intensity workout is perfect for me. The classes are challenging and empower me to reach fitness, strength and flexibility goals. The women that teach the classes are exceptional. They are very knowledgeable and professional. They are always encouraging and inspirational. The studio and equipment are always impeccably clean. I have found a wonderful community of supportive women to workout with and I look forward to starting most days at Pure Barre Northgate! I’ve been a member for just over a year and I can hardly believe how far I have come with my strength and fitness. The owner works very hard to provide safe in-studio classes, and is amazingly creative about livestream classes so that her members continue to have access to a high quality workout during this very challenging time!Lauren Vlcek

Pure Barre Northgate is an amazing studio owned by a Colorado Springs local business woman! I have moved away from the area and I am always looking for a studio similar to the Pure Barre Studios in Colorado Springs! It is very difficult to find a studio with the same elite level of instructors, music, and passion in other locations. Pure Barre Northgate offers a welcoming environment that truly cares about their client’s lives, form, health, and families! As a disabled military member, they always went out of their way to accommodate me in unexpected ways. No one should ever doubt that this studio puts their client’s needs first, because they absolutely do. I’m always looking forward to returning to Colorado Springs and attending a Pure Barre class again!!Kathryn Congdon

I recently moved to Palmer Lake and feel so lucky to have found the Purre Barre studio at Northgate. Everyone there is super friendly & chill. The classes are amazing! The instructors (so far Jenna & Maddie) take the time to explain movements and give feedback on form. The support staff has been available to answer all my questions … they are so sweet. The class pace is good & the atmosphere is inviting. The music is great and I can hear the instructor directions while it’s playing. (I mention this because other studios play the music really loudly & you can’t hear the instructor) I’m hooked! I feel like I can accomplish my fitness goals in this environment with these caring ladies ❤️Sue Viney
