20 Best Free Training Programs For Adults In Mission Viejo, CA (2022 Updated)

From my first experience there it is very overwhelming while it confusing to move through the campus and find were to go at first, once you visit continuously it becomes much easier. The staff may come off sometimes as seeming to be rude, to me they clearly show dedication to their work and honestly care for the students and visitors Will update this more as I go alongSPITFIRE MARK IX

Was in line for covid test. Santa ana college athletes. Cut in line in front of sick old people almost to weak to stand. Is what we teach our young people to cut in ftont of 2 hour and make old sick people wait longer. Disgusting hope they loose every gameJim McGonagle

Great education and many programs to help you further your education! I wholeheartedly and highly recommend this school. Many things have been renovated and changed over the course of my time here, and it all looks wonderful.Heather Wilson

Finally getting to go to college Cypress college is a perfect fit for one I know the area quite well and the ladies in the financial aid department were so helpful they were more than eager to find out any and all blocks that were happening that was preventing my semester to start and corrected it right away Cypress college has so many classes so many organizations that actually help people within the community whether it be for shelter food medical schooling clothing counseling and if they do not have what you're looking for they will get the information to get you to the proper place I witnesses good people at that college I'm proud to go thereJackie Ray Bass

I applied 7/23 and never received an email containing my student I’d. And yes I checked my junk mail. I emailed admissions per my acceptance email after not receiving my student id after 5 business days. Received an automated email saying someone would respond within 48 hours. NOTHING. Tried their “virtual drop in counseling’ and the page is not accessible. Called the college on a Thursday and get a beeping tone. Totally unprofessional. I’m guess the college is closed? Or they don’t have the tools to properly run a college? This is my WORST experience enrolling in a college ever!!!Brooke Bennett

I love Cypress College, I've almost finished my GE and I've only had one teacher that wasnt so great. The campus is safe and beautiful. The counselors are very nice and helpful. They have a financial aid office that is also very nice and helpful. I plan on transferring from Cypress College and go to Biola. So far, my experience has been great. Today, there was free lunch that was given out! I feel that Cypress College does it's best to serve their student thoroughly.Joy Hong

The emergency room doctor was awful-incompetent and non caring! My husband was brought in by ambulance as I believed he had suffered a stroke. The emergency room Dr. tried to tell me he got dizzy because he ripped off a bandaid – kinda like when someone sees blood and faints! I was speechless-I asked him if his father or wife had the same symptoms would he send them home and he said yes he would. I told him I wanted my husband to have an MRI first. He said “Well, you’ll be waiting all night. There’s a lot of other people waiting for an MRI.” He told us he’d give us a few minutes to decide. He came back to the room and I said “ the CDC guidelines post the symptoms of a stroke and my husband has all them! He then said “ok, you are staying the night then.” A few minutes later a wonderful Dr. came in and from there my husband was put in the progressive stroke care unit and everyone there was absolutely fabulous. I give them FIVE stars!! My husband did stroke in three parts of his brain- thank God, I didn’t take the “advice” of the emergency room doctor. He shouldn’t be working as a doctor!1 star for the emergency room Dr.Claudia Nelson

My mother was seen last night in ED Mission Hospital. We had a terrible experience. The laboratory and Radiology ( X-RAY) turn around time is a disaster. As a Trauma hospital the Turn around time for laboratory test results must be available <45 minutes. It takes >4 hours to get all the results back. My mom was negative for COVID they didn’t even test RSV or Flu. She has fever for 2 days didn’t even test her for Lactate for possible Sepsis. At the end they test her for Flu. …omg its positive Flu A. Can’t you imagine it takes them > 4 hours to rule out FLU A ( the test takes only 20-30 minutes) all i hear from the receptionist is “ we are very busy” … are you guys out of Ratio? Hows your patient experience? I think your patient length of stay is Terrible. Should we discuss this with CDPH to check your hospital performance as a level 1 Trauma hospital?Randz R

The worst ER room I’ve been to and I’m from a higher population city. They misdiagnosed me until I demanded tests, were snarky that I was upset, down right rude, after the results of tests were severe they were apologetic. After being referred to a surgeon I was unable to see them because I was out of area, I returned with worsening symptoms, and everything on my sheet they gave me to return to ER if I was experiencing. In extreme pain with a worsening symptoms they left me in ER waiting room for over 6 hours. I left to be miserable at least in a bed. Awful management, they don't listen to women, barely give exam or run any tests. The nurse said his only job was to get me out of there. Do not go here your life depends on it! Oh when I got a room it had no bed- I was sat in a waiting room chair in an ER exam room with a cervical injury.Jackie Lenz

I love this church and everything they have to offer. Eric has been there for about 3 years now and he is a wonderful pastor. Doug Fields is a great youth pastor and sometimes we get the privilege of hearing him preach on occasional Sundays. Kenton is pastor emeritus and occassionally he preaches and that too, is wonderful. The band is great, the songs are wonderful. Church is held outdoors still, but they have opened up the inside to watch on the screen, if it's too cold. Wear your mask inside, whether it's the worship center or picking your kids up at Port Mariners. They ask you to, and it's not that hard. At least until things get better.Stacey Mitchell

This is my church for five years already. I enjoy Sunday worship so much here. The campus is unbelievably beautiful and people are the nicest I’ve ever met. All pastors are so knowledgeable, humble and have a sense of humor. The live band and their performance are so moving and touching, which made me cry hard a couple of times. Thanks for brings God closer to us.Stella Song

I visited Mariners Church last Sunday from Florida. I was with my Mom, and met my Aunt Maryann for the first time. She's a member along with her Husband and children. It was a marvelous spiritual experience!! I loved the whole experience! I'm going through a tuff time, and was Blessed with personal prayer as well. God is good, Bless this Church. Thank you!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Julie Wolfinbarger

Best CPR class I’ve ever taken! My instructor Swish was very funny and knowledgeable and made the class very enjoyable. She told use real stories that made it very interesting and we were able to do chest compressions on adult and infant mannequins. She even gave us valuable information that I will tell my family if they ever find themselves choking at home when they are alone. I’ve taken 5 CPR classes in the last 10 years and I learned some things that I’ve never been taught before. I will definitely renew my license with Surefire every 2 years.Mystica Madris

SureFire CPR gave a CPR/AED/First Aid course taught by an emergency medical technician who had real-world cautions and advice to share. I got the training to qualify for my teaching credential, and would highly recommend this course. Every teacher, parent and concerned person worries about what to do in an emergency, and SureFire CPR gives practical, up-to-date advice to help adults, children and infants. The course is empowering.Elisa Waggoner

The BLS class I took at the Orange location was very entertaining. Our instructor was Jonny and he made sure to answer any questions we had. The mannequins were on tables, which made it very easy. The class was a bit under 3 hours, just the right amount of time. It didn't seem like 3 hours though, the instructor kept it entertaining and fun. I will come back 100% and I will recommend this place to others!Jonny Jona

I have been doing Pilates at Konnect for about 2 years and always appreciated the knowledge and experience of the instructors. They are GREAT. Recently, I hurt my shoulder playing golf and consulted an Orthopedic surgeon. He had me start extensive PT. Both with the surgeon and PT, I told them of my Pilates experience and describe the types of exercises the instructors had me doing. Both the Surgeon and PT both said my instructor at Konnect was 100% correct in her advice and instruction. I truly believe that Konnect Pilates is not only a critical part of my overall health, but is a vital part of my shoulder recovery.Robert Miller

Konnect Pilates is a movement service and education studio serving Mission Viejo and surrounding cities since 2002. State of the art Balanced Body equipment and 3 spacious rooms for Private sessions, Group reformer classes and Group Functional Training. Orange Country Authorized Education Center for Balanced Body. Training instructors on Pilates comprehensive program as well as other movement methods. Customized programs designed for client specific needs with emphasis on individual goals. If you are looking for a team to help you achieve your health goals, Konnect Pilates is your first choice.Viktor Uygan

Apart from the great environment and cordiality of staff, all instructors are highly experienced and are always paying attention to all students and making corrections and adjustments whenever necessary. The fact that the number of people is limited also makes this possible, which proves that their top one priority is the safety and well-being of their students. I have other Pilates studios closer to me but I prefer to drive a little further to go there because I trust them so much and I'm 100% sure I'm in good hands there.Beatriz Nicolau

Easy to register with lots of options for dates/times. Course was easy to follow and instructor provided nice highlights for important aspects of CPR. Practice time and scenarios are provided to ensure understanding. Overall a great company to get your certification!Sharleen Hwang-Lang

I needed to get my CPR renewed to apply to my credential program and this was one of the best CPR courses I’ve taken. I feel comfortable if any of these situations were to ever happen. Serenity was great! Very thorough! Definitely take the class here.Jannet Hernandez

Really enjoying this hybrid CPR/first aid class. Learned everything online. Then came into the classroom to practice hands on compressions and mock scenarios. The instructor was knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!Angela Baker

I joined Soul Movement Yoga just about a month ago, and have had the opportunity to enjoy many classes. I look forward to going every time, as there is so much positivity and joy in the community. Before Soul Movement I was practicing at a local gym, which was OK, but it’s not the same as being in a studio. I missed the connections that form, the spiritual element, individual attention, and trying different and more challenging practices. The teachers at Soul movement treat you as an individual with no judgment. Want to pop up into a headstand? Go for it, and they will be there to support you. Looking for a nice relaxing class or in need of certain modifications? They have you covered. There are numerous props available, a large variety of classes at convenient times, so that you will have the practice that is best for you. I couldn’t be happier! Namaste 🙏🏻 ❤️Michelle L

I discovered and joined this studio after a few months living in OC. I truly find myself at home and at peace here. After almost a year living in OC (moving from LA), I find that this studio is a safe, welcome and mindful place where I can meet my tribe. Everyone from the owners, the teachers to the yogi students that I've met are kind, friendly and supportive. I look forward to coming here every week, and feel a healthy yoga addiction is coming on thanks to Soul Movement.Hannah Hieu

This is one of the most beautiful studios I’ve ever practiced at. It feels so warm and homey, you just want to hang out and drink tea and soak in the good vibes. That being said, the caliber of teachers here have exceeded my expectations exponentially! Every single one brings their own unique experience and flavor. I can’t say enough wonderful words about this studio! Highly recommend!!Courtney Barr

Men must lead. Men must learn how to lead. Boys have been starved rites of passage since industrial work was invented; our fathers so busy working they've neglected to fulfill their primary obligation of being a father. That responsibility to mentor the next generation into adulthood is a HEAVY one. It can be debilitating for some, if not equipped with the right tools. Dancing is the most human thing you can do after music and speaking. If you can beat a drum, you can tap your foot, and connect to earth's energetic frequency of love. The instructors at La Vida are earth's divine muses, teaching us mortals how to REALLY experience life's beauty. A movement to rhythm is action, the first step toward expansion. It breaks walls in the mind, where new paths of my own humanity are grown. La Vida Dance is sacred and I hope these gurus can persuade more people to invest in one's own life; expand their spiritual existence with grace and heat. Now, get off the toilet and go dance!Gregory Israel

I love dancing at this studio. The teachers and staff are amazing, very knowledgable and professional. They have an excellent selection of professional teachers, the best around! I can dance with different teaches for each style of dance I am learning or just for a change of pace. And I love that group classes and parties are great for all levels. The group of people that come to La Vida are all very nice and supportive of each other, which is cultivated by the owner, Patrica West, she just brings it all together. She is so friendly, supportive and professional. Her and Tammy run the business wonderfully! That makes a big difference, as well as the quality of teachers. They have both!!!Idea ForU

My girlfriends and I love to go to La Vida Dance to learn country line dancing. We go on Friday nights at 6:00pm. We usually learn a new dance and review some of the ones we’ve been doing. Patricia West, the dance studio manager is welcoming and positive. Tammy Ramona, the director, makes learning new dances fun! It’s conveniently located in Aliso Viejo. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to start their Friday night kicking up their heels and having a few laughs.Melody Hackney Cooperrider

I trained with Codie for 5 months, from July to November 2021, and only have great things to say about this place. Codie is very knowledgeable and patient. He fixed a lot of my bad workout habits and taught me how to move to make the most out of my workout. He also showed me exercises to relieve the neck stiffness I had after long hours at a desk job, which greatly improved my sleep quality. His training programs are fun and challenging and I have never thought I would like circuit training! I truly enjoyed every single session with Codie. Dan is very resourceful and reliable. If you ask him questions about nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, he will give you clear guidance based on scientific research. You will also learn tons by reading the resources he shares with you. This gym is not a typical gym that only helps you lose weight and have a toned body. You can learn so many things that impact your lifestyle for the long term. Another huge plus – you can train while watching beautiful sunset with the pristine lake view. Already miss this place. Thank you team!Woobin Yun

This was my first experience with a personal trainer and I am so glad it was at OC Fitness Coach. My trainers were Dan and Jerome and they were both super supportive and helpful to get me on the right path towards my goal. I only had 10 sessions with them but each one was super intense and customized to fit my fitness goals and I could already tell in just a few weeks with them a difference in both physique and definitely just feeling overall stronger. By the last few sessions, I was already lifting more than I thought I'd be able to at the first sessions. And Dan was super helpful with my nutrition and he definitely knew how to adjust my eating habits to get me where I wanted to be. Even after leaving to go back to school, they made me a customized workout plan to continue making progress after my sessions with them. I'm so grateful to have had found this place and I really appreciate Dan and Jerome's help these past few weeks. I would definitely 100% recommend this place if you really want to reach your fitness goals! Thank you so much OC Fitness Coach!!Rosey Bugayong

I truly hate to exercise. For years I could get away with fad diets and short busts of workouts for weight maintenance, but now in my mid 50s that old routine wasn’t working. I was gaining weight, tired all the time and not sleeping well. I knew another diet wasn’t the answer and I also knew I needed accountability. OC Fitness Coach has been life changing— Jerome, my trainer is a miracle worker. I no longer dread working out. He makes it fun and challenging. I am fitter now than I have ever been. I’m no longer tired all the time and actually enjoy exercise. OC Fitness Coach has great trainers that actually care and listen to your fitness goals. This isn’t an intimidating gym that offers cookie cutter programs. Can’t say enough good things about my trainer Jerome and OC Fitness Coach owner, Dan. Give them a call, you won’t be disappointed.Janet Mitchell

I hear about F45 through my good friend Juanita . I tried the one month we purchased and as soon as it was over . I knew from the first class I took that this was a great workout . I was sold the very first day !!!The trainers Jayda ,Deion and Sheryl and the community made me stay . This amazing trainers are all encouraging trainers who will push you to your limits . They make you feel like family and a great support and community . Never been a fan of CrossFit or Boot Camps until I came here . The class times are convenient too😊 Each is the coaches are great in their own ways they are extremely personable and remember you by name . Running Club with Sheryl Jayda and Deion made me realize how much I miss running 🏃‍♀️ she brought back this competitive feeling I lost 3 years after my divorce . Love this brand ❤️💪🏼Lily H

Can't say enough about how great the team is here at F45 Laguna Hills. Mariana and her team of coaches bring a great energy to the gym and go out of their way to encourage health and well being. They hold challenges quite often throughout the year and even organize different outings to bring a sense of community to the gym. Even during busy classes, the coaches make their rounds to help correct form and technique to reduce injury or even modify exercises to tailor each individual. I would recommend anyone who is looking to change their lifestyle to this gym!Jon Santana

Tried this place out after I purchased a Groupon – was getting bored with my workout routine and needed to change things up. Deion and Jayda are amazing trainers – they have such a positive energy that motivates you to push yourself during the workouts. The workouts are hard but you feel so accomplished when you are done. There is a lot of variety in the workouts – you don’t ever get bored because you’re always doing something different. Highly recommend that you check it out!June Selvan

I joined F45 Aliso Viejo 2 years ago and it has been life changing. I lost 26 lbs of fat in the first 26 weeks and I am in the best shape of my life. The workouts are fun and challenging and hit key movements that benefit the lifestyle sports I love: surfing, snowboarding, and golf. It also helps me keep up with the kids in their sports too. The trainers and members are all very friendly, motivating, and are a huge part of why I keep coming. If you're interested in joining, tell them Ray A. sent you. They will likely offer your first week free. I think you will love it! The location is adjacent to the Coldstone Ice Cream near the Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant in the Aliso Towne CenterRaymond Amador

I’m sometimes intimidated by gyms so it was refreshing when I found F45 Aliso Viejo because I immediately felt comfortable. The trainers are encouraging and they will often help me do things properly by helping with my form or stance and I think this has helped with me not injuring myself. The workouts are no joke and I am a ball of sweat every time. The gym is clean, the equipment is great and the workouts are never the same so I don’t get bored. I love this place!Shrake Family

Decided to give F45 a try and absolutely became inspired and motivated. The energy of the other clients is contagious and you walk out of the class looking forward to returning as soon as possible. The instructors are beyond helpful and make uncoordinated people like me feel comfortable and not judged. I love this place so much and looking forward to growing and blossoming into a stronger better me!The Comerford Crew

I purchased a bundle of 10 classes and will absolutely be purchasing a membership after I use them all up. I was very nervous for my first class but Skylar took her time to walk me through the machine and explained the types of workouts we would be doing and made me feel very comfortable going into the class. She also made modifications and adjustments to where it made the workout more tailored to my needs. She is the absolute sweetest and I would highly recommend taking classes with her and at these studios!! Also, her music truly never disappoints.Charlie Vejvoda

This experience is very unique if you are regularly working out at gym. First of all, the new user sign-up process over the website is very easy. The schedule may seemed all booked but I tried the waitlist. It actually gave me a spot to allow same week sessions later on. Regarding the work out, the megaform looks like slow motion but it really works with the core muscles. The soreness after the session is worse than my other workouts. A must try for fitness …Summer Pismo

Being a first timer to Pilates I was VERY nervous, but everyone at Sweat House OC has been amazing. I’ve had amazing communication with the staff as I have 100 questions when I signed up. The class itself was very challenging but I really feel like I got a solid workout. The instructors are great- they take their time to come by and correct my form often as I am still learning. I bought the 10 pack but will for sure be signing up for more.Sanaz Tavassol

This groomer is a hidden gem! I was desperate the get my dog trimmed after another groomer cancelled my appointment without telling me. MJ’s called me as soon as a cancellation opened up and I was able to bring in my dog the very next day. My dog is only 6 months and had never had a full haircut; but he’s a doodle, so I was anxious for him to have a good first experience since he needs them frequently. He also is a bit of an anxious boy. The receptionist was great with him from the start, using a calm but happy tone of voice to ease his nervousness as I left. The dogs aren’t caged up, which means that you drop them off at a specific time and pick them up once they are done. My dog’s appointment was an hour and a half. I could see him happily sniffing another dog when I arrived. The whole place just has a very safe vibe. My dog was walked over to me and he seemed so happy! I was expecting him to want to rush out of there, but he waited by my side and wasn’t scared of the person who helped me with my payment. I was really impressed by how good they were with him. They warn you in advance that they only take cash, check, or Venmo. Using Venmo was quick and easy. If I wasn’t moving in the next month, I’d stick with these groomers forever!!Grace Cross

I found this pet spa just by a search from google and by the reviews and pictures I was immediately impressed. I called right away and the owner (MJ) told me they were fully booked till March but he would try to get me in as soon as possible. The same day I get a call from him telling me there is an open appointment February 8th. I was so appreciative of his responsiveness and eagerness the get me a spot. When I arrived for my appointment, I was greeted by the owner who was very kind and welcoming. He told me what they would be doing for my dog that day and how long it would take. It was a very short and sweet process. When I came to pick him up I was given advice from the owner on how to care for my dogs fur better which I greatly appreciated since I just rescued him from a neglected home in his past. When he was ready I was absolutely blown away on how well Melissa (the nice groomer lady) did his fur. He looked so bright white and the grooming was done perfectly. I am really touched on how much the owner and staff care for the dogs. I am so glad I choose this groomer and I will be coming back very soon! Below are a before and after photo of him:)megan powers

5 stars isn’t enough! I love this place! I have a 7 year old Siberian Husky who is like my child so I only want the best for her. I’ve tried 4-5 different groomers before finding MJs and by far MJs groomer is the best. I will not go back to another groomer so I really hope they stay open for a long time. My Bella always comes out of there looking amazing as ever and she’s so happy to return so that makes me very happy. I especially love the fact that they are cage free. That is something I definitely look for when selecting a groomer. So all around a very happy customer 👍🏼Natassia Newton

Long over due review! Berktree Learning Center was a great find during my daughter's elementary school years for her reading and writing deficiencies. She was struggling with reading comprehension tests and had poor writing for assignments & tests. I discovered Berktree Learning after calling around & getting estimates for in-home tutors. Kiana Berkman was selected because of her kind, patient, & friendly demeanor with my daughter. My daughter was very insecure & lacked confidence in her reading & writing ability after being so unsuccessful since 2nd grade. Kiana & her tutors focused on getting my daughter up to speed within 6 months & shortly after began assigning my daughter with advanced, challenging & above grade level reading & writing assignments after each tutoring session. We utilized Berktree Learning Tree for 3 years, once a week for 1.5 hours. By the end of 5th grade, we decided to give my daughter a break from tutoring as long as she maintained As in her Language Arts classes in her 3 years of middle school which was no problem for her. My daughter became a strong & confident writer with Berktree Learning Tree's help & guidance. My daughter has started back up again in Sepember 2019, now getting Accelerated Geometry tutoring with Kiana on a weekly basis. Kiana is helping her with geometry concepts, homework, test preparation & teaching the following week's new material. If you are looking for a tutoring service who cares & works with you in developing the best academic plan for your child's needs, I highly recommend Berktree Learning Center. You will not be disappointed!Pavadee Yee

We came to Berktree because my son started to struggle in semester 2 of high school algebra I and his grade had fallen to a C. With four months of tutoring from Katia at Berktree, he gained an A- on the final and a B+ in the course. It was such a good experience that we decided he would take geometry online, guided by Berktree. With Kiana’s instruction, he has maintained an A in the Brigham Young University online course with a couple months to go. My son is on the autism spectrum. Both Kiana and Katia not only have been great at explaining the concepts to him and keeping him on track, but they’ve been very patient and understanding of his quirks. Kiana, his current tutor, is flexible when we need to reschedule and even goes above and beyond, such as treating him to lunch for good work or staying late to talk with him on some of his favorite topics. I strongly recommend Berktree, not only for neurotypical kids, but also those on the spectrum or with unique learning styles.Angela Geiser

My child is graduating from 5th grade this year until the pandemic happened. She was stuck at home doing online schooling. We decided to try Berktree Learning Center to supplement her Math education. I feel that as a parent my child is a VIP in every session. She learned a lot of new things in just one sitting. Kiana makes her lessons easy to understand and every solution explained in detail that I wish I met a Math teacher like her during my grade school years. She is patient, accommodating, and knows the exact unique approach to each of her students. Also I have a very shy child. She is now extremely comfortable to ask questions and has become more confident talking to people. I highly recommend Berktree Learning Center. Thumbs up! 🙂Cienna Ong Ante

The entire team at Mission Audiology is tremendous. Dr. Mark Datuin was patient, informative and I believe cared about my hearing and brain health rather than selling me hearing aids. The technology is state of the art and user experience is comfortable and supportive. If you have tinnitus or feel a loss of hearing I encourage you to take advantage of the No cost evaluation. All gain, no pain.Robert Hechler

I was looking for another hearing specialist for my hearing loss when I came upon favorable review so I thought I would make a appointment. Dr. Datuin went over what causes hearing loss and what we we can do to improve my hearing, he then ran a number of tests to find my problem. I found Dr.Datuin professorial and knowledgeableroger johnson

Professional, very knowledgeable and helped me understand all aspects of the testing we completed. I was not rushed nor pressured to make an immediate decision about my outcomes. Greatly appreciated the attention to detail and time taken to answer my questions. Highly recommend.Mary Jo Barrett

I discovered Body and Brain while searching Tai Chi classes. I did the first introduction meeting with Master Kim and as soon as I started to talk to him, I felt that my life would take a different direction beyond just Tai Chi and my gut feeling was right. First, of course I gained a lot of heath benefits from the various classes. The classes improve so many different levels of your physical health and mental health. You are also never “bored” I would say because even with the same classes Master Kim always add there and there a new twist to an usual class. I am actually realizing by writing this review that it’s the first time I stick with a system for so long. I tried so many other options and never succeed to stay committed any longer than one year. I don’t see myself stopping Body and Brain it would be like stopping to eat or breathe. It’s part of my daily life now and would be too miserable without out, my body and my brain will tell me “no no no” get back to what is good for YOU. Also I wanted to make progress even faster so I am taking a private class with Master Kim every month and that has been also a game changer. If you do regular classes and love it, get a private with Master Kim, it’s so worth it. When we can be fully happy why postpone? or say I will do it later? if you feel you need Master Kim to make even more progress in your life at all levels then don’t think twice, just do it 🙂 You can “invest” in yourself because YOU are important as much as the people you love.Carine Soriano

I encourage anyone that is seeking to improve the quality their life and deepen their connection between mind, body and spirit to checkout Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi – Irvine. Master Kim and his teaching staff are absolutely amazing at what they do! The are genuinely welcoming, supportive, knowledgeable and passionate about improving the health and well-being of their students. Their flexible weekly class schedule provides opportunities for both morning and evening classes and the exercise routines are varied day-to-day to help challenge you on different areas of development. I’ve been attending since September 2019. I am simply amazed at my progress and the significant improvements to my health and well-being. Finding this studio and attending classes regularly is one of the best decisions and investments that I have made for myself. I just couldn’t be happier with my instructors, fellow students and the measurable results that I have achieved. I highly recommend this location.John Janes

I joined Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi in Irvine 2 months back and am so happy I took this decision in my life. Having undergone, 2 Renal Transplants and few other major surgeries, my body has undergone a lot of trauma. The 2 months here, I have already started to feel changes and have been able to communicate to my body & mind so beautifully well that I want to experience this more… I have already signed up for the whole of year 2022. Master Kim is an amazing person so full of energy and spirits which he passes on to his students too. He is very knowledgeable & communicates & guides us in the simplest of terms which actually makes a great impact on us. There's so much laughter in the class that at the end of the class, you feel light and refreshed. I highly recommend this place… God Bless!!!Sujatha Radhakrishnan

Since retiring and moving to Mission Viejo 18 months ago, I noticed I was not as strong as I used to be when working with horses at our former ranch. I was still swimming at the Y and walking, but I simply felt weaker. Older. And I've been having problems with a knee joint where very little cartilage was left. "Build up your thigh muscles" the physical therapist said. "They will support your weight instead of your joint." But the wimpy exercises he gave me did little. "There's nothing left but knee replacement if you want to walk without pain," the orthopedist said. Then I read an ad in the Orange County Register about The Perfect Workout. The testimonials sounded great, but would it help ME become strong again without hurting my knee? I asked my chiropractor and he told me Slo-Motion Strength Training was the best kind for your body. He gave me a thumbs up to go ahead. So, I went for a session, discovered how the program works and signed up for a 12 week course. After only FIVE SESSIONS, I noticed that I could go up (and more importantly) down stairs without a twinge from my knee! Formerly I needed to grasp and put half of my weight on the railing to keep from pain and weakness in my knee. Amazing! Everywhere I went, I charged up and down stairs, just to see if it was a lasting benefit. It was! The day after Thanksgiving I went on a 4 mile strenuous hike with my son and teen granddaughters, without pain. And now, after completing all twelve sessions, I feel strong. I can walk straighter, longer, and with more bounce. I can lift grocery bags easily that the box boys say "Be careful, Ma'am, this is heavy!" My percentage of muscle mass is very good now (they tested me), and although I am 68, the strength testing says I am 54! Hooray! Will I sign up for another course! YES! I want to keep going. Who knows, in another few months, I may have the body of a 42-year old.Jackie Houchin

The Perfect Workout has been a great experience for me. I have been looking for a long time for a workout program that works with my schedule and gets results. This is a program that really works. Slow motion strength training has improved my muscle tone and I have become so much stronger. I look so much better in my clothes and I feel so much better about myself. Twice a week for 20 minutes has changed my life, my bone density has improved and this has made a huge change in my over all physical being. The trainers are great and they all take a personal interest in your goals. I look forward to my training sessions. I can honestly give The Perfect Workout a 5 star rating!! August 14, 2018 (FIVE STAR RATING) The previous review I wrote was November 2011 when I first started at the Perfect Workout in Mission Viejo. I have been going to the Perfect Workout at the Mission Viejo location since 2011. It has been a great experience for me and obviously love it! This is a workout that really works. Twice a week for 20 minutes has made a big change in my life. My Bone Density has improved and I do not need to take medication, that is Big for me. I feel good about myself, my body is strong and I have great muscle tone. The trainers are great and they take a personal interest in your goals. I look forward to my workouts! Give the Perfect Workout a try and see what a change it can make in your life. I am Stronger, Happier and Healthier now!! Patty B.Patty B.

I’ve been working with Vanessa Villalovos at the Mission Viejo studio for quite some time now, and I honestly can’t imagine ever going back to the old standard of training…body splits every day of the week, multiple sets/reps each workout and the time it takes to properly exhaust the muscles. I was very skeptical in the beginning – who can get a decent workout in 20 minutes twice/week? I took advantage of the free information session and accompanying workout in an effort to re-focus and re-generate my own workouts, workouts I’d been doing the same way for years. Not only was I able to re-focus my gym efforts, but this workout has changed the way I think about exercise. With Vanessa’s guidance, I am able to get the vigorous workout I need in a fraction of the time. My workouts are never dull or boring, my form is closely monitored, there’s no need to wait for equipment to free-up, and the exercise challenges are limitless. The studio/equipment is very well maintained, and in the event I need to change a scheduled appointment or if my trainer isn’t available, there’s always another certified trainer to accommodate my schedule and needs. I highly recommend not only The Perfect Workout philosophy, but this studio and, in particular, my trainer…she consistently comes through in helping me get the very most out of every session in a safe and challenging manner.Gail Rickabaugh

We have been going here for about two years now and I can’t say enough good things. Really. The owner Brooke, and all of the teachers we have met, have been fantastic. They made a very smooth transition to online and back (and now doing both) and have really made it special. The communication was and still is remarkable, especially with current circumstances. We have since moved so we are not close anymore, but we still make the effort to dance with Tutu School because of how great they have been for my daughter. We love this place so much! Thank you for all you ladies do!Kayleigh Torres

So many positive things to say about Tutu school of Laguna Niguel. They are extremely professional and make every effort to communicate clearly and give their students a positive, enriching experience. Even when covid happened, tutu school immediately adapted online and continued to provide their families with quality learning. They go above and beyond! We even received hand written letters by my daughters ballet teacher at the end of the year. Wow! I’m so thankful that we have them for our daughter’s extracurricular learning.Lindsay O'Dea

We love the TuTu school! Ms. Francis is great with our sometimes sensitive 4 year old daughter, and of all the organizations we have worked with, they did the best job maintaining relationships and products during the corona virus lockdown. We had full access to all online classes, plus live Instagram art classes, playdough making and all sorts of other fun things. Consistently high quality instructors and a personal and connected approach. Five stars!Gaia Marrs

After being in and out of the Gracie Barra family in childhood, reintegrating into Gracie Barra Aliso Viejo could not have been a better choice about 4 months ago. The instructors have implemented a clean, welcoming environment where personal growth is optimized in a very positive way. Professor Diogo, Professor Victor and Coach Pedro have been extremely kind and approachable since day one and I now consider them to be not only mentors of the sport Jiu-Jitsu, but friends as well. I would recommend this atmosphere to anyone who wants to get into martial arts. It has been great for exercise, great for self defense, and great for building mental strength. The awesome relationships cultivated there and making new friends is a huge part of it too. -Niko RomanNiko Roman

We have been going here for over 3 months now and I love this place. I think the best part is that the teachers (Pedro, Victor, Diogo, and Mike) are so great with my kids. They provide my kids discipline of the practice but at the same time, making sure to add in a little fun for them. Every time we attend class, everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Not only that, I feel like the facility itself is super clean and well kept.Monika Lee

I am a beginner and have been taking classes here and I really love it! They are very beginner friendly so you don't have to worry about feeling too intimidated to start. They are very welcoming/ friendly/ inviting and on top of that, know how to give the best training to meet each person at their level. These classes are great fitness and confidence boosters!Vanessa Scott
