20 Best Free Training Programs For Adults In Tampa, FL (2022 Updated)

I have had the misfortune of hiring now 9 girls from UT on a rotating schedule( when they have availability). I know a total of 12 girls that have either recently graduated, are in nursing programs, or 2 that are currently in masters programs, the 9 that worked/Ing for me are either recent grads, in their masters program, or a rising senior… So… now of these girls, even though they are nice have any queslificariona to work.. 6 out 9 which 3 of those 6 are or were in honors programs. Have no clue what they are going to do after school. Most complained about the treatment and the overall vibe of the campus. The 4 out of 12 girls that I know are graduated and with a Bachelors degree in Nursing or teaching can’t even find a job and are working in low level paying jobs… practically a step up from min. Wage. This university does not produce graduates that have a impact on the world. The quality of person who is going here 8 out of 10 is not the person you want working for you… This is a school for people who are good test takers but not ready or prepared to be in the real world at all… Go to bigger school that’s not private – private universities answer to know one which is not so good.. especially when it comes to the quality of graduates they are producing and putting out into the world. Which seems subpar at best. Save yourself the hassle, go to a public university. Like USF is bigger, better diversity, better teachers, bigger endowment, better statics with the type of person they produce back into the working world. Location is nice because it’s downtown but just remember not everything that glitters is gold…adoliop

Search history- During its operating period from 1891 to 1930, the hotel housed thousands of guests, including hundreds of celebrities. When the Spanish–American War broke out, Plant convinced the United States military to use his hotel as a base of operations. Generals and high-ranking officers stayed in its rooms to plan invasion strategies, while enlisted men encamped on the hotel's acreage. Colonel Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders also were at the hotel during this time. Roosevelt retained a suite, and during the day led his men in battle exercises on the property. The Tampa Bay Hotel closed in 1930 as the Great Depression severely curtailed tourism. It remained empty and unused for three years. In late 1933, the Tampa Bay Junior College was allowed to move into the hotel, using the old suites as classrooms and offices. Because of the large amount of space afforded by the hotel, the scope of the junior college was expanded, becoming the University of Tampa. The Tampa Municipal Museum was established by the city to preserve the hotel in its original form and co-exist with the newly established University. Today, besides serving as offices and classrooms for the University of Tampa, the entire south wing of the building is dedicated to preserving the glory days of the old Tampa Bay Hotel. Various rooms in the wing display authentic artifacts from the old hotel, many of which were purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Plant themselves on various European shopping trips. (Wikipedia)George Ortiz

Beautiful school in a great location, however, if you're looking for a good school with good academics DO NOT COME HERE. The nice look of the school and large dorm rooms is about all it has to offer. As a freshman I went through three advisors in one year without any notification of having mine switched, and I also told my current advisor that I am transferring several times; but I keep receiving emails from them telling me I still have to register for next semester. The advisors here are not really that helpful at all. When you contact any facilities they either take weeks to respond, or do not respond at all. The grading scale is also very odd, so take a look at that as well. My first semester I had all A's and one AB and that brought my GPA down to a 3.8, when in most colleges an A- will bring your GPA down to around 3.9. The wifi is almost nonexistent unless you're using a computer in the library. Please do not invest your money here and go to a more accredited and student friendly college, so you do not have to waste time and stress looking to transfer out of here like many freshman do.Morgan Lowe

I had to make sure I was reading the comments from the correct school. This school is an absolute joke. DO NOT GO HERE! I feel as if the people that are reviewing the school have attended the school for about a month and they still have high hopes. Don't. Lol. We paid over $10,000 to take OPEN BOOK QUIZZES for the first 8 months. The school was not at all challenging I feel as if I cheated my whole way through the course. Yes, I did read. I still study with the books that I have today. Save your money and just take some online courses or find free courses. We changed instructors very often so the teaching style and tempos were very off. If I could go back, I would not at all go here. To put the icing on the cake, they tried to take credit for ME obtaining a job that they did not help me secure. I applied through Indeed, landed a job, and received a call a while later informing of something along the lines of "accreditation" and "Did FCC help me land the job" lol NO. It was not because of my experience with the school either. I had prior work experience. I could go on and on. Just don't go here. Go to HCC if you really want to go to school. I am only giving two stars because I created good memories there… with a man that I met while in class and now we gave a family. 😊 Now that my rant is done. The school has great potential. Better/permanent instructors are NEEDED/WANTED. Life isn't full of open book tests.Tam Tam

I didn’t want to write this review because the the staff was great to me but what happened to be here was very discouraging. But definitely read the reviews and don’t rush into places.. I started the Medical Assisting program My instructor Mrs.Bowling was amazing. Lisa with administration was amazing and Miss.T in financial aid was also amazing. Tho I took my tests which made me eligible for my classes after a few weeks in the program and all the progress I’ve made they give me a call one morning letting me know my test scores are lost or were uploaded wrong on they’re part and I’m not able to come back to school until I retake the test because there was nothing they could do about it and on top of that I would have to restart my WHOLE ENTIRE course and wait for they’re new program to start so I would come in as a new student. It’s very discouraging and disappointing after I’ve pushed myself to finally go back to school and find a career and it all being “crushed” because of the schools mistake that no one would take responsibility for as I was told. I’m not an employee there and I would be PAYING THEM and RESTARTING everything to fix THEY'RE mistake. My feelings were completely HURT as I had to fix THEY’RE mistake which I refused to and just withdrew from the school. So again. Take your time and READ reviews.Cameron Gonzalez

I went here for the EFDA program. It was one of the best experiences I've had. The instructors for the program are truly amazing and the best. Mr.B will sit with you untill you truly understand and grasp what he is teaching you, Mrs.Dee is very patient and one of the most kind people you will meet. Miss.V, I think had the most impact on me, this instructor… It's almost hard to put into words just how amazing she is. She saw the potential in me that I never knew I had. I don't understand some of these bad reviews…. Even if I had a issue that my instructors couldn't help me with Miss.Laura would sit and help untill it was solved and Mr.Jim would do the same. I'm in and almost done with my externship now and Mr.Mike who helped me get to my extern office will help you every step of the way. I learned so much in my time at FCC not just about dental but about myself too. I've not only gone on interviews but, I've had a a ton of dental offices reach out to me and want to hire me as well. I plan on being one of the best EFDA's in my field and that is all due to the one's who taught me.Jessica Lavelle

Went in for a cut. The student assigned to me made a comment to the receptionist not to give her any more cuts. I showed her a picture of what I had in mind and asked her professional opinion. We decided on a v cut, keeping the length and a cute bang. Her words were very specifically that she was cutting it to my mid- back. Apparently, I don't know where my mid-back is since she cut it to just barely below my shoulders. The bangs are crooked and 2 other students had to guide her on how to cut them and the student cutting my hair said she wasn't "in the mood to do a cut". I didn't see a teacher at all, in spite of several signs stating that students are supervised – clearly not! While I don't like my cut, I'm not mad – it will grow. I'm not even upset with the student….she's a student without guidance! If this is the level of the school…..RUN!!!! Students deserve a REAL education! I feel bad for the students I saw. They are spending a lot of money to learn. They should have saved the money and just taught themselves on YouTube.Michelle Battle

Conditions of the women’s bathroom on a Monday before students arrive.🤢🤮 mind you no one comes in on sundays so it was probably left this way for a while Not only does this school Clearly not care about cleanliness During the time of COVID but it does not care to cater to students several times we are out of items and they do nothing about it. Some of the staff have even displayed prejudice behavior against black/brown students. I could go on and on but please do not attend this school!!! Find somewhere better for your own good and success!Alexis

I had a manicure and a spa pedicure with Carina and it was lovely! I rarely treat myself to beauty care and Carina made sure to make my experience delightful. She was friendly, professional, very concerned with my satisfaction, and even redid the polish on my nails when the product was being uncooperative. I’m going to try and catch her again before ease graduates at the end of March, and you should too!K Wyman

Nice open and well presented galleries. Beautiful open atrium with a huge art installation floating overhead. As of July 2021, the current temporary exhibit presents recent works by artists from various points of view. The pieces by people of various backgrounds enriches the experience. This makes the museum relatable to everyone and brings greater awareness. There is a small cafe that provides food and drink options with a small area with tables outside. This area sits beneath the large shaded portion of the building. A nice way to end or extend your visit.S M K

Came here one day back in the spring when I had to stay an extra day in Tampa due to a flight delay. I was walking the river walk and happened upon this building. It was a small museum but pleasant with friendly staff and a therapeutic feel. I also got a AAA discount and it was a great recharge from the sun. I would definitely go back especially knowing they are expanding soon! Visited on

Great little museum with beautiful displays but did not like the staff constantly walking around and hovering around you. When I go to museums I want to get lost in the pieces and it felt like I wasn't allowed to do that with their constant presence. I understand they have valuable artifacts but there has to be cameras or something else watching people. Wait time

The staff is amazing. Super knowledgeable, sweet, motivating and flexible. I work with Dr. Sponaugle for acupuncture and adjustments and she's fantastic. She prepared me to get pregnant and was successful. She continues to work with me throughout the pregnancy with adjustments to help with the low back pains that come with pregnancy. Felicia is my massage therapist and she does my TMJ massages to relieve the tension I get from clenching my jaws at night as well as energy work to help me relax to avoid the clenching caused by underlying stress. She uses the HawkGrips IASTM technique of therapy which I love! She also does regular massages on my body to relieve the pregnancy tension and just overall soreness from exercising. My husband trains with all the trainers (Luis, Marco, Austin, and Kim) 4-5 days a week and they are wonderful and have put him in the best shape and he's feeling better than ever. I highly recommend this place as it's a one stop shop for everything health!Yolanda Mirzabegian (LawOfAttractio5)

Ten months post surgery I started interviewing Certified Personal Trainers. I had weeks of physical therapy yet each time I tried to move with intensity it was unsafe. I chose Driven Health & Fitness because there was an actual workout on day one and then planning on how to meet my goal( had not signed up YET). My #1 goal "to be stronger". I chose to leave the insurance industry after 25+ years prior to the back issue… and made to no plans for a new career. I am now a Certified Personal Trainer (inspired by Driven of course). I did the homework and found a great business and family. They not only provide personal training but also massage and chiropractic care, etc.Tamara Wallett

I have been at Driven for 8 months and highly recommend it to anyone that is serious about their health, body, and overall wellbeing. As a former athlete and current business owner, I needed to add structure to my workouts and professionals to push me to my limits. I have found that here. The studio is A+++ with amenities you won't find anywhere else and the team of trainers are second to none. If you surround yourself with the right experts, great things will happen. With time, hard work and adapting the driven lifestyle, you are guaranteed to reach your goals and you will feel better than you ever have. Your health is an investment not an expense.Braden Kowalski

If you want to learn to be a responsible gun owner, have gun laws explained to you in layman’s terms, and most importantly, be guided personally through the whole process of acquiring your concealed carry permit then this is the class for you. You learn at your our own pace via a very educational and entertaining online class. Then you attend a 30 minute classroom portion which you can schedule whenever you are ready. Ryan was great and made you feel at ease as soon as you entered the door. He made sure everyones questions were answered. You have all the opportunities to ask whatever questions you have although I did not even need to. He even followed up after the class to make sure you had no problems getting your permit. The extra videos offered as part of the class and the free book were an added bonus. Having these makes it easy for me to refresh myself on these laws. I’ve actually watched the videos a couple of times already. Mind you, they are not boring. Overall, a very positive experience for myself and my son who took the class with me.JM Szyga

My brother recommended the Florida concealed weapons class given by Ryan Thomas, at first I was Skeptical given its was an online class and that it wouldn’t be very informative. That was from the truth! Ryan and his family owned business is filled with A plethora of information, from books you will get with your paid tuition written by Ryan, links to completing your application with the state, helpful information as to where and how to request an appointment to get your fingerprints required to get your license. Ryan is also helpful via text and email if you still have questions or concerns after the class… I also would recommend this class to anyone who is interested in their concealed weapons license! KUDOS Ryan thanks again for your time And expertise!Nick Ryan Rivera

This class is great! The videos are informative and entertaining, and the best part is you get to watch them from home. The in-person portion was also easy and convenient. Ryan was just as great in person and was willing to answer any questions that anyone had. He will give you a 266 page book at the end of the class with all the CC info you may need. He also provides step by step instructions for the permit application process and will check in with you even after the class to see how the process is going. Definitely recommend this class!R. Slade

I happened to meet Steve Scott at a training Seminar where he was teaching Word Press. I have taken many seminars before,mostly using St. Petersburg College. I cannot tell you how easy it is for Steve to convey his thoughts to his class. It was by far the most informative seminar I have ever attended. His Classes are really enjoyable and somehow he makes it so easy to learn, you'll remember almost everything he says. After completing the Seminar I engaged Steve to help in building my website into all I wanted it to be. It may be one thing to teach a class but it is another for a person to fully understand all the aspects of Word Press and quickly and easily navigate to get the job done. If you're looking for a professional SEO, Steve is your guy. I would highly recommend his expertise to anyone.Robert Depalo

I took the Advanced SEO Training class last week. I took the class with hopes of updating my skills as a website developer and was blown away. Not only did I advance my skills, I learned things I never would have imagined. Steve is an excellent teacher and is focused on making sure you learn the exact right thing when working on your site. In my case, I have many clients that I work with and have already begun to put my new knowledge to work for me. I will take more classes from Steve as needed and will consider taking the advanced class every 1 – 2 years as a way to stay on my game. If you're thinking about the class or if you're on the fence, call Steve and book it now. It is worth every penny and you will not be sorry!Jeff Surdej

Excellent training! I am so impressed by the breadth and depth of content we were able to cover in a short time. Steve is a passionate and creative SEO expert – these qualities shine through in his teaching style, and in the cutting edge technique and theory he shares with his students. I appreciated the opportunity to discuss real challenges that I was facing as an SEM professional and get insights that I was immediately able to apply on the job. A HUGE bonus is the mentoring element of the program – months of additional mentoring from Steve is sure to move my organization's digital marketing efforts in new and successful directions.Laura Morrison

I absolutely love this group. They’ve not only become my support system but they are sincere friends who have motivated & kept me accountable post my first baby & during my second pregnancy. I love being able to relate and share personal experience, get free advice & have fun while working out. The owner and instructors are amazing. They are so caring and help you modify your workout for whatever stage of pre or post baby you are in. Regina, the owner, has worked with me while I paused & restarted my membership while I navigated life with a toddler & my first trimester of my second pregnancy. She also gave me a membership discount that encouraged me to sing up long term & it was definitely a great way to keep me coming back/accountable. I Strongly Recommend you try it out for yourself! It’s life changing 💗Lorena Marquez

I love this community Fit4mom! Moved to the area recently and booked this class as a way to meet moms and get recommendations + exercising!. I have really enjoyed the classes! There is a little bit for everything! classes with your kids, if you are pregnant, without kids, yoga, the Bodyboost are REALLY intense! love them! Tons of activities outside the classes too, meets at the park etc, Regina (owner) is the best! you wont regret joining! 🙂Vero AD

I am so happy that I found FIT4MOM. It’s a perfect program for anyone who’s looking for a judgment free fitness classes. Joining a gym or any fitness classes has always been a challenge for me because I’d have to find care for my kids while I can go workout but FIT4MOM made it possible since they offer mommy and me classes.Anam Arif

From my first Bar Method class back in March, I was immediately hooked. For so many reasons. The studio is so beautiful and always kept super clean. Everyone that works there is extremely attentive to each member and will go above and beyond to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and has an experience tailored towards their own goals. During the class, instructors are very encouraging and helpful. I am already feeling so much stronger and can see a visible difference in my body and can't wait to continue going to classes! I chose to purchase a Club Bar membership and love all of the benefits that come with it. I have started bringing my friends and 10/10 would recommend trying out the studio for anyone looking for an effective, efficient workout.Savannah Green

Let me be clear, I was NOT in shape even a little bit before I came to bar method. I’ve only been here for 3 weeks but I can already see abs coming in and my calves are returning to the glory of my younger days. I can’t wait to see what I can become! Classes are medium sized but feel very personal. All the instructors know you by name and will correct and challenge you. Edit: almost one year later and I still can’t say enough good things about this location! There is a real sense of community amongst the members and instructors which helps hold you accountable. In the almost year I’ve been coming here, I’ve lost inches off my waist, hips and thighs and I’m feeling stronger than ever.Rebecca Aftergood

I am having a great time getting my workout in. This place is very motivating, personalized (because they positively correct your form so it’s productive). I have been coming since October and just signed up for a year. I am really happy that all the instructors are super professional and each a little different. Again can’t say enough about this place, take a class and see for yourself. Lastly the group of people that attend are so nice and positive , it’s a beautiful atmosphere. The owner is not only there, she is one of the teachers. 👍🏼🤩 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️Michelle T

Sam Ivy K9 Consultants is truly a special program. My wife and I decided to adopt a new pitty puppy and realized now more than ever would be a great time to refine our older dog's training and start fresh with our newest addition. Sam Ivy's team, really knows how to make the clients feel comfortable. Our trainer, Holli is absolutely fantastic! Our puppy has been making incredible strides in just the 6 weeks we’ve been in this course. She started the program not having focus on the leash when she walked, to not even walking with the prong collar. With Holli’s help we tried different methods and in just 3 weeks Bella went from having the prong collar flipped prongs out to the prongs in and is heeling like a champ! Bella now keeps eye contact and focus and really is making amazing progress. The biggest concern for my wife and I was the virtual aspect, but once again they are so willing to work with us and do what’s best for us and the dogs at the end of the day. I think our biggest praise to our trainer Holli is that she gave us confidence in what we are doing with our dogs. There were times before the program that we would get frustrated that there was no light at the end of the tunnel with our dog's training. But Holli has really turned that around and let us know that things can get better. We both feel extremely confident and comfortable to take our dogs out of the house without having to worry how they will behave. There is so much more I could add but overall I would recommend this program to anyone that even thinks about dog training, especially those who have pitties!Brandon Rosario

The moment we brought home our 2 pocket bully pups we knew that sadly due to their breed they would be misunderstood and receive nothing but negative stereotypes.So, as a family we wanted to ensure they received the best training possible to assist them with breaking those stigmas. After much research we found Sam Ivy. We decided to go with the advance off leash training package and we where assigned our trainer Holli. We couldn’t be more thrilled with our decision and our training . We love how personal and informative Holli makes training sessions. We feel empowered and thus it gives us the capability to execute properly. We’re only halfway through our package and you can absolutely tell our sweet girls have received puppy and obedience training. On walks or any outside visits we receive nothing but compliments on how well behaved and obedient they are. We have no issues with poor behavior at home and even with still being puppies they make great choices! All of this has been made possible thanks to Sam Ivy and Holli. If you are serious about proper training for your dog and household they are the folks to call. The skills you learn last a lifetime. PS they also accommodate schedules for busy families ( like ours 🙂 )FNuneryJr624

We had an excellent experience with Sam Ivy. We started with a puppy who nipped, growled, and didn't obey on walks to a dog who is friendly, responsive, and happy to listen. The transformation we saw in our dog is truly remarkable. We worked with Nate as our trainer, and he was incredible. He had amazing patience, a great sense of humor, and exemplary skill in explaining what we were going to learn, and what we were doing wrong when we first did it! The immediate feedback helped us directly address our issues and get the results much more rapidly. We were initially a little skeptical about the online model using Zoom, but it works. It put us into the training and execution immediately, gave us more flexibility in attending training, and was a better fit for our family. The ability to watch replays of sessions is invaluable, and is an integral part to improving and learning the commands. Rewatching your early sessions is also extremely humorous. We would highly recommend Sam Ivy, and encourage anyone who wants a no-nonsense trainer to ask for Nate who will tell it to you straight and ensure you get results.Alexander Amato

I was in the night class best class ever ms Lena , ms soy , and ms Sandra were the best instructors ever! Especially ms Lena from helping me fight to get in the program , helping me with skills , and being someone that I can turn too when needed about anything ! I truly thank ms Lena for helping me with this opportunity! I only had one problem when I came to my sponsor since Lena was no longer in that position & it went to Evelyn I feel as if I’m not getting into the right job it kinda seemed like she (Evelyn) wanted me to just take a job even though they are trying to hire me as a med tech and not a CNA I was told that she was communicating with the admin over at the job but when I spoke with her she said she had no clue of what I’m talking about or who Evelyn is. I asked her could I please switch to a different job she said she would contact the facility Im trying to attend but I don’t really know or believe she did when I was told the she communicated with the other job and didn’t. Other than that I love the program really great instructors !Amaya Marie

Morning class teacher Ms Soy is a great teacher she made sure we were prepared for our state test in every way possible. Ms. StaLena is also a great addition to the team she goes above and beyond to help find is sponsors. HOWEVER, Ms. Evelyn has only reached out to me once and I wasn’t even aware she was the career specialist who is supposed to be matching us with sponsors has not done nearly half of her job. In the 6 weeks we were in class she only matched me with one sponsor.Anika Gordon

Had the best experience and I made life long friends in this class! Sandra , Soyini, and Lena are life savers! It was truly an amazing experience to be able to learn and connect with this group of people! If I could do it all over again I would until the day I die. This experience is what you make it. We made the best of it. I’m going to miss seeing everyone everyday but I can not wait to see where life takes my new loving friends. Thank you Feb Night class of 2022!Mariah Goldwire

3/25/2022 UPDATE: I have since been able to get my communication resolved and began classes. I graduate next week and already have a great job I've started working at. The instructors, Roseanne and Sue have been absolutely fantastic. They have so much knowledge and teach the technical in such a real life way so you really get a grasp on it. They're always willing to answer questions and help you. I totally feel ready to take the state exam for my license. This has been the best experience. I'm excited to be starting my new career! 😁 ————-‐————————————————- I have not had a good experience. 12/15 Signed up for class on 1/10 12/16 Attended workshop 12/17 Received call to discuss program 12/17 Received email for interview with sponsor for 12/22 12/22 Text from Premier ‐ interview cancelled and looking for another sponser 1/4 Got a text saying No updates and asked when was a good time to call me. I replied. 1/8 Have never received a call back. I have tried to reach out by many means and can never reach anyone or get a call back. Lost faith in the program before ever starting.Kellie H

Don’t go here there just going to waste your time I tried getting into this program in 2020 and I got as far as to attending my interview with the employer that would hire me after the interview my interviewer said she’d contact the school back that I attended but I never received a call or email from premier nursing I tried this year again to get into this program and they lack communication they won’t answer phone calls the only time you can actually reach someone is if you attend their webinars and they still lack communication sometimes they don’t even call you to do the screening or wait till the next day after failing trying again this year they finally texted me after several emails claiming that I never went to my interview and that I live to far to go to either location they say they want people who fit the position but they have someone eager that after them failing her the first time I still tried don’t waste your time they don’t care and won’t reach out to youangela leyva

I had a phone call interview on 3/31 and passed. Then, I was called for an interview at a hospital and they did not know it was cancelled and I went all the way for nothing. After that, they said this stuff never happens and apologized. Months later, I don’t hear back. I go to the Premier Nursing Academy in person to see what’s up. I finally get a text saying I was never guaranteed a spot. I wasted all my time emailing, calling and traveling for nothing. I was supposed to start classes May 16th but I guess I won’t be… Edit: I won’t be. I don’t want to waste another single second making an effort to get in either.Nur

I was looking for an online CNA course to fit my busy schedule. I found Elite Academy online but I was sceptical about it. It was a different approach because you listen and watch the videos. To make the story short, I got into it, study hard and book my exam. I passed the first time. They provided a pdf copy of the steps in all the skills. Memorize it because thats what I did. Do no do shortcuts because you will likely fail. Also during the test, say it as you do the skills. It helps get rid of that fright. The other people that went to the test on that day failed. Not that I am happy about it but the video about the skills hepled me a lot. Practice at home with family for the skills. Online resouces for the theory test is also provided. Brandon is very helpful if you have questions. Thank you so much Elite Academy. I am a proud CNA now. Becoming RN is my next goal. Christian CChristian C

I bought the online elite silver package and I cannot say enough good things about this course! Of all the different online courses to choose from, I’m so so happy I ended up choosing Elite! The videos make it soo easy to learn! I finished this course in 2 weeks and felt confident enough to apply for my exam! It took 3 months before I got my exam date back but I’m happy to say that I just passed both the written exam and clinical skills portion as well! Thank you Elite for setting me up for success! Halie Basto

The course was great and affordable but the reason I’m giving them a one star is because I’ve called the office number and email them about why my certification is not showing up on the registry. I live in the state of Georgia and they require the academy where I got certified to pass out meds to submit my certificate in so I can get put on the registry as a CMA, but nobody has returned my emails or calls back yet and that is completely unprofessional.Tamaya Youmans

Was searching for a class and saw that Florida Carry Permit/Tony came highly recommended. I called to ask a couple questions regarding his courses, I left a voicemail an promptly got a response from him. I then spoke with him for a couple minutes an I realized that this guy was legit and actually cared to provide you with the proper education and training. I decided on the private session which I think was totally worth the money. I don’t like just watching videos especially for something like this because I always have questions an even when I asked during the class he would answer with out a issue. Some stuff he talked about in the class were things I didn’t even think about. I left the class feeling more comfortable with owning and carrying a gun. When I’m ready will definitely be taking the advanced training class.Quentin Cordova

Tony was absolutely amazing! Before his instruction I had never fired a gun in my life. He took the time to explain in DETAIL, the law, proper safety techniques, and common sense guidelines all while not making me feel like an idiot (which of course I am). Felt like I was talking to an uncle or older brother rather than a drill instructor. He put me at ease which greatly improved my accuracy in a matter of minutes. His ability to work with me as well as his patience made me fall in love with shooting. I never felt rushed or uncomfortable, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE looking for training whether you're a seasoned vet or someone like me who had never properly handled a fire arm before. I am interested in any further training he offers. Looking forward to seeing Tony again!R L

Best thing I could have done for myself! And the BEST instructor. Before I attended I was leery about carrying. And I knew the best thing I could do for myself (and others) was to get training and take a class. Tony was very detailed, he was thorough, definitely knowledgeable and made the class fun. By the end of the course, my worries about being a gun owner and carrying were lifted. Since this class, I have taken a few others with Tony and have never been disappointed. I actually wish I could give more than 5 stars. If you’re on the fence about going, or you’ve already gone and need additional training. This is your place. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommend!Kerie Ireland

We signed up for dance lessons with Fred Astaire for our upcoming wedding. Our instructor, Alexey, has been amazing in creating our choreography. He's very patient, open minded, creative, detail oriented, and most importantly he likes to have fun, too! Alexey and his wife are professional dancers and she also helped during lessons and is a total sweetheart! The studio as a whole is a very friendly environment with monthly dance parties that are included when you are a student. I have to be honest, dance lessons are not cheap, but they're 100% worth it!!!! The instructors know what they're doing, so trust them when they say you have to learn the basics before you can learn a dance. I liked that they had us try six different types of dance to see which ones came naturally to us before committing to Rhumba and Push-Pull for our wedding dance. We plan on returning to the studio after the wedding for more lessons as a date night.Viktoria Zitzmann

From 2 left feet to dancing with the stars!!! Well not quite there yet but my wife and I have learned so much in such a small amount of time. Alexey is incredible and we love learning from him every week, this makes such an amazing date night after dinner, with my wife. We were definitely not dancers but we certainly have found tons of enjoyment as beginners and we get to learn from and watch the professionals in action. There is something for everyone at Fred Astaire from professionals to beginners. Tons of fun for couples and parties! 10/10 would recommend. Give it a try, I know my wife and I are very happy we did!Gregory Tomlin

Admittedly I dragged my husband to the first class but we had such a great time that it was his decision to continue on through the beginner and now social foundations programs! We are loving learning something new together and we look forward to our lessons every week! The environment is so friendly and the instructors are so encouraging that we don't feel awkward or self conscious about our dancing even though we are FAR from good dancers! We've recommended the Dale Mabry studio to our friends as well because of the welcoming community and honestly just because of how much fun we are having!!Emma Tomlin

If you're looking for a concealed carry class, there's no better place! Ryan does a great job at making sure everyone is informed in all aspects. Ryan also has an endless amount of material that he offers for continued growth and learning. This includes lots of books, tons of videos, on YouTube and his website. And he's also there for you via text if you have any questions or a hard time during your application process. There's basically no where you can go that makes this process any easier than he does. I was able to do the class, fill everything out and send it in that night. Next day got my fingerprints and everything's in the mail already! I'm also super excited to do some of his in-person at range training. His beginner's class is pretty sweet, you get to try out some of the top/most popular handguns to carry. And Ryan does an amazing job at helping people feel comfortable and confident shooting. It is so important to make sure you are adequately trained and not ignorant in regards to how you use your gun and the laws that pertain to concealed carry and owning a gun in general! It's actually pretty cool to see that the same guy you're watching videos on YouTube and on his website is the one that is there for you to teach you an instruct you in person! This is a super personal experience and from what I can tell so far Ryan is a great guy! If you could rate one out of 10 stars on Google I would totally give him a tan!Michael Encinosa

Having been a concealed carrier in multiple states for over 12 years I moved (back) to Florida and needed to get my training for my Florida Permit. At first I was skeptical and hesitant to sign up, but once I did I found Ryan’s videos to be straight forward, easy to watch and informational even for someone who’s carried concealed for years. I wasn’t expecting him to be in the classroom portion of the training but he stopped the conversation he was having and greeted me right when I walked in the door. If you’re thinking about which training site/company to use, I would pick his again. I’m even thinking about taking his advanced classes.Jim Ellett

Concealed carry class was not as expected. I specifically asked in the online chat what the “live fire session” included. The person told me that it was live shooting practice. I expected in range shooting or at least teaching how to use a gun. The live fire session was only an extra charge of 20. The in person class did not contain any useful information. He says that it is not required but when everyone else in the room pay it you have the peer pressure to pay it as well. Overall not worth it; waste of money when you can spend 100 and receive a more knowledgeable experience.Annmary Zheng

I am so grateful to have found Lucky Cat Yoga and I highly recommend this studio to anyone who is starting or continuing their yoga journey. I love the diversity of the classes, the ease of scheduling, the times offered, the vibe and atmosphere of the studio, and the wonderful instructors. I first stumbled upon Lucky Cat Yoga at a Yoga in the Park class and I am very grateful I did. Yoga has proven to be the perfect complement to my self-care and workout routine and it has greatly helped to restore balance and harmony in my body, mind, and life. It is worth noting that when I began my yoga journey with Lucky Cat I was dealing with pain in my ankle, knee and shoulder from overuse and my cardio workouts had plateaued as a result. After two weeks of practicing restorative and gentle flow yoga at Lucky Cat, my soreness and pain subsided and I shaved several minutes off of my 5k running time. Thank you, Lucky Cat Yoga, for making a novice like me feel comfortable and welcome, and especially thank you for helping me heal and restore balance in my life.Shelley Hamilton

I am so happy this was the studio I chose to begin my yoga journey. I love every teacher I've practiced with. There is no judgement here, from teachers or peers. There is no clique culture, no looking down on new people, and no expectations. The teachers emphasize that it is YOUR practice, so you only do what you can do or even just what you want to do. I went from being unable to touch my toes to being able to fold right in half in just a couple months. I had crushing anxiety all day every day, but it has become manageable through yoga. I am finally reconnecting with my body instead of being a prisoner in my own head. I recommend this studio to everyone, and even got my mom to start going with me. I can honestly say that coming here to practice has improved my quality of life immensely.Jessica Hardwick

I feel like I'M the Lucky Cat to have found this studio. Eric and Erin have created a beautiful practice, full of encouragement and acceptance. Everyone's body is different, and they respect that. I love having a virtual option for days when I can't quite leave the house, too. It's so easy to look forward to class! I get an amazing workout in Root to Rise, but still leave feeling relaxed and ready for the day. If you're on the fence, give it a go. There's a class for everyone.Kim M

I took the AB course with Jamie and it was a blast. Jamie is knowledgeable, a clear communicator and makes the classroom comfortable. One of the best things about the course was how easy it was to ask any and all questions. Jamie went above and beyond to not only give clear answers, but not make an question seem dumb, or irrelevant. I flew across the country for this course and I will do it again in the future. Another thing I greatly appreciated was the help he gave in trying to figure out what courses are relevant, what ones you need or don't, and how to complete paperwork. I can't say enough good things about this Training Center, and how great the course was!Rachel Young

This class was absolutely awesome, we learned WAY more than I expected, if fact I liked it so much I stayed to get my 100 ton upgrade! Jamie, our instructor took the time to make sure we understood what it took to not only receive our certificate in order to get our Coast Guard Captains license, but more importantly what it took to make sure me, my crew, and my customers would all get back safe to fish another day. He know his stuff for sure! Again, an awesome job and thanks!! The trip all the way from Texas was more than worth it!!!Jeff Ivie

I recently just finished with the OUPV Captains 6-Pack and 100 Ton Masters courses and could not be happier! Subject matter was challenging, however Capt. Jamie Schaffer does an excellent job presenting information, breaking everything down literally step by step. When it comes to exam prep, does an excellent job preparing students with the knowledge necessary in order to excel on every test. If you want to go from zero, to an abundance of knowledge, take these courses! As happy as a sailor coming in to port to see his woman!Jason Hellem

Thank You so much, Mr. Lewis for a very informative class and great presentations of brokering business! It was a great pleasure for me to be part of your team during last month. Thank You for inspiration, for sharing of Your experience and your liberal attitude towards my mistakes. One day, when I decided to change my life and to move from the travel industry to the freight broker business I typed in Google 10 best freight broker courses in the USA and I've chosen number 1- Freight Broker Planet! I was very impressed that Mr. Lewis, the owner of Freight Broker Planet personally teaches us. Every lesson I've felt that only a person who likes what he does and loves to teach can found the whole community – Freight Broker Planet! During the course Mr. Lewis and his team taught us how to make successful selling, how to improve negotiation skills, how to acquire new business, equipment description, provided tms software training, load board training, dispatching training, rates & quotes knowledge, and many other interesting skills. Lawyer and success enterpriser Mrs. Marjorie Meme has taught us how to work with documentation and how to set up our own business. I know that it's only the beginning of my brokerage career and I am very happy that I found people whom I can trust. Mr. Lewis I wish You strong health and development for Your company Freight Broker Planet! I hope that my review will help someone to make the right choice.lyuba H

I recently completed the course with Mr.Lewis and I am very pleased with the outcome. From start to finish the information was meticulous, valuable, and engaging. The training classes are fun, however; they are intense modules packed with information that Mr. Lewis takes time to thoroughly explain. Materials are up to date and all the additional support that is provided is icing on the cake. I am excited to start my business knowing I have the knowledge needed for success! I feel the confidence I need to make it happen. There are no tricks or gimmicks with the program. I would say exceptionally professional! Thanks Freight Broker Planet!Iran Adames

Mr. W. Lewis, at Freight Broker Planet, Inc., is the best instructor hands down. He and his staff are very knowledgeable about the industry. They keep you engaged in class, and you never feel left out. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to start a new venture in transportation or transitioning like myself, from commercial driver to freight broker and dispatcher. They will not disappoint! – MoniqueMoHoJo “Mo” Houston-Johnson

Kodawari Studios has become my favorite happy place! I am a newbie to yoga and not very flexible and hot yoga has been everything I ever needed. If you are in need of mental, physical and/or emotional healing then this is the perfect place for you. Tina, Maria & Annette are AMAZING! They truly care and will give you a great class, terrific workout, kind environment, personalized interactions, I could go on and on. I am beyond grateful that I listen to my friend and I joined this beautiful community💜Monica Jones

I visited Maxx at Kodawari about 2 months after having a major surgery. I was feeling worse every day and doctors only suggested that I take pain killers, which I had been avoiding during my recovery. After just one visit with Maxx, I immediately started to feel better. He is extremely knowledgeable and understanding. Everyone at the studio was so sweet, the energy is just so welcoming and positive as soon as you walk in. Love this place and can’t wait to continue coming back!Becky Velazquez

This morning I had a great first class at 6am. Ashley was so welcoming and kind as I walked in out of the 40* weather lol so cold. She took away any anxiety I might of had starting a new yoga practice with zero experience in a new place. She was so personable. When I entered the studio it was warm with the lights low in the hue of a sunrise and the music was calming. I felt like everyone should wake up like this. Im so impressedJosh Phelps
