Best Coaching Schools Seattle Near Me

Jane Oriel: From my first time hearing the Life Coaching Secrets podcast, I knew I had found my life coaching trainer, but all I could see anywhere were glowing reviews of the Thriving Coach Academy. Could it really be that good??? Well, I'm here to say it absolutely is! I am in my first month of the 6-month training course and it is clearly the best, most thorough and welcoming training I have ever invested in on any topic throughout my professional life. This review is genuine and heartfelt. I cannot recommend the Thriving Coach Academy highly enough. Frank Macri and his team are the real deal. Join now. Your future successful self will thank you.

M R: Thriving Coach Academy is outstanding. Their professional development workshops are well-designed, engaging and informative. Their website for coach training is detailed and has useful resources. They not only have excellent coach training, they also have an entire learning module and ongoing support about coaching business practices. Their coaching triad model and mentor coaching model allows coaches in the program to have weekly feedback and coaching practice.

Janet Enos: I had just earned my PhD when I decided to look for a life coaching certification program. I wanted one that was approved by the ICF and that was well-rounded, offering rigorous evidence-based skills training, community, mentorship, business development, etc. Thriving Coach Academy met all of my requirements. It has been a great experience and knowing I have lifetime access to continue to learn and engage with other coaches is such an added value.

Stacia Thompson: ABSOLUTELY the BEST training...of any kind.... that I have gone through over the course of my career. As a former Oracle Applications instructor and Big Tech consultant, I've been through a lot of training and Frank raised the bar every single time over the weekend training I went through. SO highly recommend not only the trainings but also Thriving Coach Academy to anyone wanting to start the coaching journey or even get some new pro tips you haven't thought about! You won't be disappointing!

Kristin Her: I am convinced that this is the best accredited coaching program out there. You will not regret signing up.

Frank Anderson: I learned about thriving coach academy while listening to Frank’s podcast. I knew from hearing him speak & coach over the podcast that I must attend Thriving coach academy, I know that I will succeed with Frank leading the way!

Yuri Fusegi: Thriving Coach Academy is the BEST coaching school, and I highly recommend if you’re looking for a best place to learn coaching skills & business development skills. Through both self-led online training and live practice sessions/ webinars, I gained so much confidence and it’s the best environment to put it into practice with the other coaches. I’m glad to be able to connect with awesome coaches around the world, and enjoy learning with them!

Jennifer Adams: Thriving Coach Academy has brought so much value to my life. The Academy gave me the training and tools to do what I’m passionate about, coaching. Watching clients learn about how they show up in the world and connect with others has been transformative. The biggest insight is my personal growth. This experience has taught me about myself, what I want and what is getting in my way. Frank and his team are amazing humans and I’m grateful for the lifelong connection.

Sara Pollard: This is the BEST podcast I've ever downloaded! Download and listen I promise you will be listening every day! Thriving coach academy has been life changing for me and I've only just begun!

Chad Newberry: Great program. Great support. Great people.

Keia Del Rosario: , I have looked very closely at the curriculum at TCA compared to other schools. I personally have recommended friends to go through TCA because I know that they’ll get tangible, personalized feedback to grow as a coach, whereas other schools might make you feel like one of many.I highly recommend checking out TCA if you’re looking to grow as an individual and help others reach their full potential.

Bill Grant: I can't say enough about the school. The instructors are wonderful. The quality of other students are terrific. I came out the other side of the Academy a new person. Thanks to the program and the instructors, I am now cognizant of the gifts I have to impact the world. The financial investment in the school is minimal for the return that you're going to find. You will transform as a person.

BrandElsa Pereira: The impact this training has had on me is profound. Thriving Coach Academy has helped me show up in the world in the way that I truly want to, and I know will truly help other people. I felt so accepted from day one. I felt invited to share. I felt invited to participate. It's the most fun I've ever had learning. I’ve loved the connections I have made with other students.Prior to training with Thriving Coach Academy, I didn't understand the business side of coaching. Through following the Academy’s business support, I received so much interest from my network in my coaching services. I see the potential for my business.All of the prospective students, I have two words for you: Do it.

Donna Beck-Erickson: I cannot express how much I love being a part of Thriving Coach Academy. I have grown personally in ways I did not think was possible for me. I have learned powerful tools that positively impact my clients and help them grow into the person they want to be. Everyone at the academy is top notch from the staff, teacher, mentor, founder and the students!!! I will forever be great up for the experience and will be a lifelong member of the community.

Karen Millon: I had been a coach and did my research for a long time before I chose an academy. While Thriving Coach Academy had the curriculum and the accreditation that I was looking for, I completely underestimated the significance of what I would learn as a coach and of the personal and professional growth that I experienced as the result of all the material learned and all the practice coaching required. Pursuing a certification with TCA surpassed my expectations and took my coaching to the next level. Highly recommended. Karen Millon @healinwithkaren on IG

Ady Dempkowski: This exceeded my expectations and was so worth it! I got tons of tools that helped me get clarity in what I want in life and how to take steps forward while getting rid of things that no longer serve me.

Laine Camille Samson: What stood out to me about TCA is that they teach you not only how to be a masterful coach but also a powerful speaker. I always felt like I had gifts and stories inside me were waiting to shared but didn’t know where to start. Now, I get to do that as a coach AND a speaker. If you want to take your leadership to the next level and make the impact on this planet you were born to make, go with TCA!

Amy May: Sessions with Lena are magical, attainable, and provide so much clarity you will certainly walk away feeling much better than when you started.

Mark Armstrong: Lena’s thoughtful coaching and guidance was exactly what I needed — she helped me take a big step back mid-career to assess not just those goals but broader life goals, to create a strong foundation and clear mission for myself and my work going forward.The sessions included everything from meditation to specific breakdowns of how to build a framework my daily habits and long-term goals. Thank you, Lena.

Aubrey Cook: Lena's program was transformative for me. She helped me get back in touch with my intuition and work through what I really wanted deep down in order to lead a fulfilled life. When we started I was unhappy and felt stuck, like I wasn't in control of my own life. She helped bring new perspectives, and since the program a few months ago, I've made a number of changes. Now not only is my mental health already so much better, my world feels full of opportunity again. Truly life changing, and I am so grateful for our work together.

Hannah Exner: .First and foremost, Lena is the kind of person you want in your corner. Kind, intuitive, incredibly smart, and empathetic, she has the ability to provide guidance that meets you where you are and always leaves you feeling inspired and energized. She also is an expert in pulling out the wisdom we possess inside us, which means that I have developed a deep trust in myself and my own intuition - a life-long skill!Since working with Lena, my vision for my business has become clear, I know the next steps I need to take

Casey Margell: I worked with Lena when I was in a difficult job transition. Lena had practices ready to go to help produce clarity about what it is that I authentically care about so that I can aim my career and efforts in those directions.Lena is patient, flexible to adjust to your needs, and insightful and I’m grateful for the work we did together.

Nina Arranza-Riley: I used to be very skeptical of the phrase “life-changing.” It’s not that I didn’t believe in it – I felt that it is an overused word that didn’t have much meaning. After a “life-changing” speech, book or movie, life often went back to what it was, at least for me. So, when I say the following, know I do it with all my heart, every fiber of my being and all the weight that words can bear:Working with Lena was a truly life-changing experience and one of the greatest investments I’ve ever made.Prior to my time at Gratitude6, I had been stuck on what career I wanted for years. Should I go into animation, my childhood dream job? Should I continue my current path as a paralegal, which I found I am quite good at? Should I make my passion for art my career? Should I go for a stable career or a creative one? Does letting go of my dream mean that I’ve given up? What if I make the wrong decision?These questions plagued me for a decade. They made me depressed, hopeless and more lost than ever. I had even stopped drawing, which essentially felt like losing my identity. This was my state of affairs when I reached out to Lena, and over the next 5 months she helped me transform the way I thought about myself, my situation and the world around me. Fear became excitement. Should I’s became What Ifs. Problems became possibilities. The scary unknown now lights a fire within me I didn’t even know existed. With her own powerful intuition, she helped me reconnect with mine – and to have that is the single most empowering feeling imaginable.With her gentle guidance, her big heart and through my own work, I now have a path and something I “just know.” An internal compass that points me not to one career but to what it is that I want in one! Now, I am making small little shifts in my habits to change my career into something involving visual communications, content writing, learning and storytelling. I am so excited for what comes next.Please reach out to Lena and invest in yourself. Be prepared to work hard. You are worth it!

Amr Elmohtaseb: When I was about to start this I was skeptical. I didn’t know if it would make a difference, but I feel now it was a great move for me. In the beginning, I was very demotivated at work and had little to no sense of purpose or direction in life. Now I’m looking forward to life. I found joy in things and made it more a part of my life. I have a new job, am creating a new project, and I got a new toy - a pool table in my studio. I feel better about my self in general.

Kelsey Donahue: When I first reached out to Lena I felt like I had lost my sense of purpose and positivity, even after trying for a while on my own to solve the circular thought patterns I was having. Lena helped me completely change my mindset by finding what my core values and core states of being are that were behind why I felt the way I did. This was huge for me as it helps me for the long term understand why I react the way I do in certain situations. She also helped me identify my mental "blocks" that were keeping me from fulfilling my life vision. I can't emphasize enough that this has been a long term change and I can take the knowledge I have gained from sessions with Lena and use it in any upcoming challenge or understand any reaction that will occur in the future. Thanks so much Lena!!!

heather eacker: Lena is so amazing and so supportive! I highly recommend her workshops. What a gem she is!

Jonathan Ceis: Just call and have an initial conversation with Lena. Here is why…I came to Lena with the desire to live a better life. I knew I had more in me and that I could have a larger impact on my community. I felt stuck though. I was not quite sure what that better and larger life looked like for me. I only knew I needed help to move forward.Lena provided me more than coaching she provided guided self-exploration. Where I was in control of my journey. She is provided tools and guidance on how I could identify and stay on my path. She did not try to drag me down paths of exploration that did not work for me. She brought to the table a wonderful mix of practical advice and techniques which allows me to dive deep and find the root of what I wanted in life.Lena helped me to identity not only my goals and path forward, but also transcend my limiting beliefs. She introduced me to an array of tools which we used together to gain clarity on my core beliefs. Working together we tied these beliefs to actionable steps that I could take to move forward. We explored limiting beliefs which came up as part of this process. Identifying where I held reservations about my ability to succeed. We explored these blocks and worked through them devising strategies and approaches to transcend my self-imposed limitations.My view of what I want in all areas of life and what path I am taking forward has completely been transformed. I have since started to take the steps we discussed in our sessions. I am in the process of upgrading my life, and moving toward where I want to be.

Sierra Storm ND: Working with Lena has been transformational. I approached her for coaching after a friend highly recommended her - saying “there’s me before Lena, and me AFTER Lena - everything in my life changed for the better. My work. My relationships. My confidence.”I’d have to agree. In our work together Lena guided me into better connection with my own intuition and wisdom. She gave me tools to use when making big decisions in my life and in my business, so that I could trust that the choices I was making were for my highest good.I felt heard and supported in our work together, and looked forward to our sessions each month. “After Lena” there is more ease in my life. My business has grown, and I’ve learned to trust and celebrate my successes more easily. When a question or choice comes up in my life, I now know how to stop and listen for the answer that’s there waiting for me.Lena, you’re the absolute best. Thank you so much for the way you show up in the world, and the incredible work you do. Looking forward to more sessions, and continued evolution!

Siwei: Working with Lena has been a life changing experience. Prior to this coaching journey, I was very confused about what true happiness is, what my passion and motivations are. I had a lot of inner blocks, e.g., being extremely competitive and caring too much about others’ thoughts on me. Lena opened up a new door for me, let me connect with my heart and found what I truly want. She offered various tools and meditations that brought clarity on what has been blocking me and how I can refine my stories, remove blocks and find the fire in myself. She helped me set myself free. I feel so ready and happy now and am excited about whatever is going to happen next in my life.

Emily Znamierowski: This coaching process elevated my life in ways I could not have imagined. Lena guided me out of a deep rut formed by years of repetitive, limiting beliefs, and helped me create a new path for myself using practices that cultivated a positive inner narrative, self-appreciation and compassion, and gratitude. I benefited from her steadiness and wisdom, and truly enjoyed the creativity, bright energy, open-mindedness, and light-hearted approach she brought to every session. She is the most innovative, effective, and efficient coach with whom I've had the pleasure of working.Beyond the feel-good benefits of working with Lena, I gained a library of practical systems and tools that I can use long after our coaching sessions. The value of these resources is immeasurable. She is a consummate professional: organized, consistent, and thoroughly prepared. Her ability to adapt and respond to my changing needs on the fly never ceased to amaze me and served as further evidence that she is a master of her craft. The clarity and confidence I gained from working with Lena will serve me well for the rest of my life.

Christina Malecka: Lena's pep talk at the January F-Bomb Breakfast Club hit me like a ton of bricks: in a good way! I had been running myself ragged, trying to run my passion project without much of a plan, and her words inspired me to scale down and get centered so I can scale back up in a grounded way. Her message was just what I needed. Thanks Lena!

Lindsay Tilzer: When I began working with Lena, I was really confused about pretty much everything in my life and struggled to discern between the thoughts in my head, the feelings in my heart, and the knowing of my intuition. Working with Lena really helped me clarify a lot of internal blocks I was coming up against and work through them to find acceptance of myself and release the judgement I carried within me about the experience of my feelings. I learned with Lena that change on the outside begins with change on the inside, that I do, in fact have an intuition, that it is powerful, and that I can trust it implicitly. Now I lead with my intuition and find myself in a better state of flow than I ever have in my life. I allow that voice, that knowing to guide me and in turn, have found myself moving forward intentionally and powerfully even when fear arises because I trust that my inner knowing is guiding me on my highest path.

Amy Campbell: I was referred to Gratitude6 by my sister who raved about Lena and her techniques. I had been feeling stuck in some areas and was seeking clarity in my vision/purpose for my career and in my life experiences.I agreed to a consultation with Lena. I will admit at first, I was skeptical. I am a business woman with a stressful job. I consider myself to be logical, practical, and often annoyed by "spiritual talk." The thought of exploring practices like meditation was intimidating for me. However, I knew I needed to try something different and I was intrigued by my sister's results. I signed on for 6 sessions to give it a try.Lena is an extremely supportive and knowledgeable person gifted with the amazing ability to guide a person through tough questions and see oneself and situation from a new perspective. I appreciated the outputs of our sessions together. Each session was different and unique. Unlike a regular therapist, I walked away from our sessions with a plan and useful action items. I have been able to put into practice these items and slowly over time have formed new and positive habits. I have new tools to deal with the pressures of my job and new insights on what I most want to experience, create, have, and be in this lifetime. I am extremely grateful for Lena's service and highly recommend her.

Laura: With Lena's insights and listening skills I was able to set myself up for a great year in my business and personal life! She allowed me to begin the journey of finding and listening to my inner voice, to find focus and momentum in stepping into my life. She allows for an easy flow of conversation and her intuition is spot on! She is present and prepared for every session which allows for an easy flow to our time together which in turn creates the space for me to dive deep and explore where I was in the current moment.

Erin Maccoy: Lena is a natural born facilitator who leads groups and individuals through an engaging and dynamic process of self-discovery and transformation. She is deeply intuitive and knows what the group needs to make the shifts they are looking for. Her toolkit for this work is plentiful and she makes every session a thought-provoking, action-oriented space to learn, grow and shift. She is warm, kind and supportive in all the ways a coach needs to be.

Amy Diep: Deciding to do coaching with Lena was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. Her guidance and tools helped me gain clarity with my intentions and helped overcome my internal roadblocks i had for myself. There are so many times that we came across “ah-ha!” Moments that were really life changing for me. She is genuinely passionate about helping people and i feel very grateful to have come across her services. I highly recommend Lena if you want to discover your inner truth and grow as a person. The lessons I’ve learn from Lena has been invaluable.

Luisa Vasconcelos: I studied at ALPS for a year and a half, and I can confidently say it changed my life. Excellent teachers, a friendly environment, great learning resources, and my determination were the perfect combination for significant improvement in my English skills.

Abeer Kamell: An excellent institute for providing information. I recommend it!

Tsogtoo Demchigdorj: The teachers are very knowledgeable and experienced, and they are always willing to help you with any questions you may have.

Vadim Medvedev: Great school! I'd like to study at ALPS again because of the teachers and the quality of lessons❤️

Kanaydian Music's Definition: My husband attends this school. It’s way better than taking English prep at a university. If you’re an international student needing to upgrade your English prior to your program, it’s a cheaper and more friendly option. They go above and beyond to see you succeed. I’m really happy my husband is going here. Before he was here, he was in a school that only had one on one classes and they charged so much. Here he has a class with a maximum of 8 students, and he is learning so much better. Deleasha was a great help with getting us started. 10/10 I would recommend this school to anyone looking to improve their English in Seattle and the surrounding area.

Nicolás Sánchez Valdés: Positive:Professionalism,QualityThe staff and students are very friendly and the small size classes are perfect because the teachers can focus on your learning process! Besides, the location is great; parks, lakes and down town very close from the school.

Mj s: Здравствуйте, я прошла двухнедельный курс, это был очень приятный опыт, я давно не училась и снова занимаюсь этим, особенно изучение английского, снова мотивирует меня продолжать обучение, академия очень хорошая, школа комфортно и очень внимательное отношение персонала. Моя учительница Камилла была очень милой и делала занятия веселыми. Что касается преподавания, я выучил много произношения и снова вспомнил грамматику, которую изучал в старшей школе, так как мой уровень был средним, надеюсь, что смогу вернуться и повысить свой уровень!!!

Dasad 00: Идеальный.

Miguel Angel Escobar Garcia: I studied in kaplan for 5 months, and it is the best experience I have ever lived. Everyone there is so kind, that makes you feel like you were in home. All the teachers are very professionals and the classes were excellent.

Michelle Rappaport: My child came out of math last night soo soo excited about subtracting from zero. And I can already see such an improvement in her mental math skills. Thanks for turning her whole relationship with math right side up.

Stephanie Halpert: My son is now confident in math. Thank you!

renee sliker: A year ago, my daughter was behind with reading and now is flying through chapter books! It’s been a great experience. I plan to also start my son when he’s out of preschool!

sabra landon: I cannot believe how much my 11th grader has improved in math, and how much confidence he has gained in just the last couple of months of working with KWAE. It has taken so much stress off of him and I am grateful.

elvira castillo: . She makes math accessible and fun

shazi Barhamand: Miss Anu's classes have made our son so much more confident and comfortable with Math and well ahead of where he would have been had he not been in her classe . We couldn't have asked for a better math teacher. She is patient, understands how kids minds work, and makes classes fun for kids. You can tell that Miss Anu does this more out of a genuine love for teaching and a passion for helping kids than as a job. We are incredibly grateful to have somebody as committed as her teaching our son.

Shabnam Gulkk: My 4th grader's progress in math is very good. He had a math test last week and he got the highest score in the class because he covered the first five chapters with Ms Anu in her small online group. Her teaching method is very good and easy for children to understand.When he started with Ms Anu about 5-6 months ago, he did not even know his times tables and multi-digit addition/subtraction were challenging for him, but now he is scoring the highest in his 4th grade math class!

Rachel Friend: We have had a great experience with KWAE. Online tutoring, even for younger children, has been very effective and enjoyable. It's efficient, and we've seen immediate results. I highly recommend!

Vivek Sharma: , or writing funny or creative stories without worry about what people might think. Working with Anu has given them so many stretch learning opportunities – the math they learn with her pushes them far beyond what they do in school and that helps them feel confident in their skills. It’s amazing to hear them come out of class bursting with pride because they just learned a high school level math concept! We highly recommend Anu!

Moon Majumdar: Ms Anu is the inimitable greatest math tutor. You have to try it to believe it. Last year, she helped my then 3rd grade daughter go from being very upset about her math skills to now enjoying math and feeling more confident.While my then 1st grader has always enjoyed math and been pretty good at it, he really enjoys the small group online tutoring setting because he says it's more fun!Both kids will be continuing with Miss Anu again this year!

Colin Gamroth: Love this place!

Aaron Pedersen: We wanted to say a huge thank you to our tutor, Payton, for everything she has done for our son. Having such a supportive, gifted, patient, and excellent teacher helping him realize how well he actually CAN read means so much. I think that it means more to him than he will realize for a few years. He's reading signs randomly and just genuinely seems more comfortable and confident. She's a fantastic educator and we're so thankful to have met her.

Matthew Anderson: since he started working with you just 3 months ago

Laura Powell: My son has been doing online math tutoring with Ms. Anu since online schooling during the pandemic began in 2020. It started out as a great way for my son to get some enrichment in math and gain a deeper understanding of the concepts being taught online. We have continued with the tutoring even after online school ended because he finds it engaging and fun. He has a great rapport with Ms. Anu and learns so much from her.

Dan H: I cannot say enough good things about Kids With an Edge. Our daughter moved into the HCC program and went from kindergarten math in K, to 3rd grade math in 1st grade. She was struggling with the leap because of gaps in her foundational skills and understanding. We worked for months at getting her up to speed, usually very inefficiently because it took me a lot of trial and error to find the right way to help her understand.Eventually we learned about Kids with an Edge, and everything changed. Ms. Anu is incredibly kind and patient, and is absolutely a pro at communicating concepts in a way that kids understand quickly. She’s also very adept at diagnosing where misunderstandings are happening based on incorrect answers.Within three or four weeks our daughter was moving quickly and adeptly through her math, and beginning to show signs not only of confidence, but if pride and excitement. It has been such a game changer for our whole family, and I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Abby Silva: , her teachers could not stop raving about her progress. Fast forward to her final conference in June, and she surpassed all of their expectations and is now on track to be ready for second grade.What has stuck out the most is their repeated comments of how much confidence she has now. Because they have provided her with the tools to work through ELA and Mathematics, our daughter actually enjoys it now

Joel McIntyre: Nothing but positive feedback. It's been hugely helpful. We're so grateful for the help. My daughter has really started to enjoy reading and seems to be gaining a ton of confidence with it.

Sarah Bricknell: coordinated any necessary changes to the schedule. My daughter is feeling good about math, loves her tutor and her grades are stellar. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you!

Kaniya Osterling: I mostly met up with Jack and he helped me with my homework in many ways that not other tutors have help me. One way he has helped me is when I had to write an essay for history, I don't like using outlines to create an essay, and I would usually just start write it without a plan. But he helped me by helping me plan out what I would write in a way that was a lot more helpful then the original prompt.

gg1 “da1”: I came to Think for math tutoring in Algebra 1and 2 and got As in both classes! Think helped me become more prepared and confident in my math skills. I came back for bridge to college math and love being tutored by Wen. I like the flexibility of having remote lessons.

tessa: I started Think tutoring in the summer of 2018 with Pre-Algebra and now I am in Pre-Calculus, Calculus next year. Think tutoring has helped me not only fully understand math concepts that seemed challenging in class, but also helped with how to approach solving problems. For example, writing the whole problem and organizing my ideas. During COVID they moved fully remote which was convenient because I could just do the work from my room.

Amelia Math: I came into THINK not having a clue what I was learning I’m Geometry then Wen helped me understand what I was learning then helped me learn things I would be doing so I wasn’t more confused in the future. This was super helpful going into high school honors classes during Covid.

Autumn Claussen: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueWonderful experience for my child! Jack and Wen are top-notch professionals and experts at what they do. They genuinely seem to care and want to see your child succeed. I highly recommend their services.

Aliya K: We had a great experience with Jack with both 1-1 and small group tutoring. My kids had a chance to work on current grade lessons as well as advanced concepts in English and Math. The best part for us was to have an educator to do the teaching! I was forced into homeschooling last year, so I was most grateful for how Jack immediately connected with the kids and motivated them to learn.

Satchel (Satch): Think has helped me all throughout my middle school and now high school years. I highly recommend coming to Think if you think your child needs tutoring or just some help with work. Jack is highly flexible and can help you with anything but math. Although his wife makes up for it in that she is very skilled in math.

Truong Thi Vuong Linh: Jack helped me with my personal statement when I applied to UW in 2018. I got accepted to the program I applied for! I would highly recommend using Think Academic Services.

SP32: We started going to Think Academic when we wanted more math curriculum for our child. He loves the tutoring and they provide a wonderful learning environment that fosters his love of math. The teachers are terrific and he loves to go. We will definitely continue to see them.

Sara Stephenson: I can’t say enough amazing things about Jack, Huyen and THINK Academic Services. My two boys have been getting tutoring support at Think since 2013 on a weekly bases during the school year as well as participating in their summer programs. Jack and Huyen are like family. With Jacks stellar educational background he is highly skilled at guiding and providing the right tools they need to become confident writers and independent learners. Jack holds the boys accountable for the work he knows they are capable of doing. I love picking the boys up after a tutoring session and seeing them so happy, bouncy and positive about what they just accomplished. The place is a fun upbeat engaging environment. We are so lucky to have this resource in the South end of Seattle!

Ellis Bennett: THINK is a tremendous resource for parents. Both teachers are fun and engaging. My daughter was having difficulties in 2nd grade math and beginning to really struggle with confidence. Now she is studying at a grade level ahead of her own and loves math. She loves going to THINK. It has really changed her perspective on school, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Shata Liam Stephenson: I have been coming to Think for almost 3 years now. My experience has been wonderful. I've struggled with essay writing for many years. At Think I have been able to overcome that barrier and improve my writing continuously. Besides being great people, the tutors are very engaging. My grades have gotten much better with the skills I've learned here - I've gone from mostly B's to all A's, and kept my grades up! This has boosted my confidence as a student and encouraged me to take more challenging classes. I am now confident in any class, and actually push myself to reach my academic potential. Thank you Jack and Huyen, you're the best!

callysta coyne: I originally came to Think for Algebra 2 help last year, and have now come back for help in math this year, as well as an SAT prep class. Think has really boosted my confidence in math, and has helped me work through the gaps in my math knowledge as I continue down the path of higher level math classes. I also have received SAT help, which has helped my test taking confidence immensely, and improved my score greatly.

Anne Derieux: My son sophomore in high school has started Math tutoring at Think Academic only 2 months ago, and his grades have moved up to A. Not only his grades but his attitude towards Math has changed which makes it more fun for all of us around him!

Paul Derieux Chagnard: All my life, my grades in math have been bad. I started high school getting C's, and now, thanks to Think, I am getting A's!

Kevin: is that he actually enjoys going there and he works hard. Pleasantly surprised with how well it has gone. Been there since Sept and plan to stay thru June.

Daniel Crowe: Excel Mandarin is definitely one of the more productive classes out there. I was initially unsure about a class over zoom, but it turned out to be convenient and feel natural - thanks of course to talented and experienced teachers as well. I also was hesitant about the price, but now after finishing Q3 I think it was more than worth it. From meeting West-coast people with similar interests, to the wealth of resources that we get to keep, it feels like a good deal. They know what they are doing with sample classes, because I thought "Why not sit in, what have I got to lose?" but was hooked right away.

Aidan Rosswood: Just finished the third quarter and feel really confident in my Mandarin speaking foundation. It's gonna take a lot more learning to become really good but I now know all the foundations of grammar and speaking.The teachers here are AWESOME and the class is a blast plus it keeps you accountable and on track to keep moving forward. If you want to start learning Mandarin, start here.

Katie Mangan: This class was so amazing! It was hard work but my Chinese improved more then I ever expected. The teachers are amazing, they make class so fun and always around to help and answer questions even outside of class! I highly recommend this class if you want to begin learning but aren't sure where to start!!

Daniel Cook: 3 quarters of class and 7/8ish months later, I'm actually so impressed with how well my classmates and I are able to speak Mandarin. I never thought that I'd be able to learn this much at this speed, but the teachers and curriculum are absolutely outstanding. If I could learn other languages using the exact same classroom format and lesson structure, I'm sure I'd hop on those right away as well. Seriously, 20-30 person classrooms have nothing on this! The teachers are extremely friendly and helpful, and do their best to make sure you are learning effectively.If they had a Q4 class, I would surely sign up for it...

Lauren Khoo: It’s been such a fun, enriching, and effective experience to learn mandarin with ExcelMandarin. I’ve just finished the Fluency series of 3 terms. I’m so impressed with the progress I’ve made in a relatively short time and the enjoyment I get out of every class. The instructors care personally about everyone’s goals and progress and they foster a fun class environment. Also, I really liked the relationships and sense of community I gained with fellow students. EM has been a great part of my year. Between the homework and the classes multiple times a week, it is a time commitment, but it’s worth it if you want to learn!

Melanie Kong: EM's teachers are the best! Learning another language can be really challenging and vulnerable, but the teachers truly care about each student and create such a welcoming, fun, and supportive environment. I just finished Q3, and 8 months with EM has made me feel more confident in Chinese than years of schooling in other languages.

Livvie Lin: , but definitely worth it. Their approach to teaching - focusing on speaking, lots of practice in class, tailored toward what would be most practical for most people - has enabled me to progress faster in learning the language than I would've been able to in other programs. On top of that, my teachers and classmates are funny and enjoyable to spend time with! I'm continuing on to the intermediate conversation class because I'm excited to further improve my speaking fluency and discuss more interesting topics with classmates.

Caleb Lin: were more effective than years of Spanish study through high school. The instructors are uniformly talented and are deeply committed to their students and to the art of language pedagogy. The curriculum is thoughtfully constructed and is concentrated on the most important aspects of oral communication. I managed to handle the coursework while also maintaining a full-time job, and I imagine that if I were able to commit even more of my energy to the classes, my Mandarin would have improved even more. I cannot recommend ExcelMandarin more highly.

Chris LoCasto: I had an awesome experience studying Mandarin at ExcelMandarin. Having just finished up Q3, I'm really happy with the progress I made. All of the homework, articles, and vocabulary tools you get access to provide a solid structure for learning, but the real secret sauce is the instructors! We had Darren and Eco instruct us for Q3 and not only did they explain things really well, they made class a lot of fun to attend. I'm honestly really glad I decided to learn Mandarin here and can't recommend it enough.

Kimiko Medlock: Finished all three quarters of ExcelMandarin, and it was 100% worth it. Would do again. Three things worth mentioning: the low student to teacher ratio makes a big difference, the teachers are very professional and care about your progress, and they offer a huge number of tools to help you learn throughout the courses—for example HackChinese and DuChinese—that are effective. Love this school and would recommend

Donna Lee: Taking the Q3 classes at EM was the obvious choice for me after learning so much with Q2 and the Q3 session did not disappoint. I felt that my speaking and listening improved so much. It was fun being able to have discussions with the others students, using Chinese in complex sentence structures. The curriculum is well organized and the teachers are amazing. I felt that the individual feedback for the homework and quizzes were so helpful and when I had questions, they always responded so quickly and thoroughly. The Q3 classes were great and definitely pushed my fluency to a higher level.

Nicholas Walls: I completed Q1-Q3 with Excel Mandarin in 2022. This was a great learning experience, and I left the class feeling empowered to speak Mandarin in real world scenarios and ready to continue my learning. The classes ultimately focused on expressing thoughts and feelings, and opinions on everyday work, life, and hobbies. The teachers were really great, and I always felt supported in learning at my own pace, with a good push as well!

Gabriela Claravall: After finishing three quarters at ExcelMandarin, I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've made. Q3 has given me the knowledge and tools to discuss my opinions and ideas. I think that all the teachers are very kind and amazing. They really care about the students learning, and I even got to meet some teachers from ExcelMandarin in person which was really nice, and felt very personable. The teachers in Excel Mandarin are all so passionate about students learning and I’m really thankful that I joined ExcelMandarin. I’m happy for the teachers I met in ExcelMandarin. I hope to keep in contact with the EM community.

Mary Kathryn: I've had such an amazing experience with Excel Mandarin! The teachers are so helpful and patient, the curriculum is aimed towards conversation and expression which I love, and the workload is challenging in a way that pushes you forward! I always enjoyed classes with my awesome teachers and classmates. I've just completed Q3 with Excel Mandarin and even though extra business in life kept me from focusing on it as much as I would have liked, I feel excited and well-prepared for continuing on in improving and growing in my Mandarin skills. I've tried to learn with other self-teaching methods in the past, but never thought fluency would be possible for me until these classes! So grateful for this school!

Ted Meyer: I joined excel mandarin in september 2021 because my girlfriends family doesn't speak english, and I had no way to communicate with them. I was super impressed with the teachers and curriculum, and having a 1:4 teacher:student ratio made getting in-class speaking time actually possible, and even fun. I finished all three terms of classes and feel so much more confident now when speaking to my girlfriend's family!

Laima Liljeberga: I couldn't have asked for a better place to study Mandarin! I can't believe how far I've got through these three quarters, myself a few years ago probably wouldn't have believed that I would be speaking/understanding so well in such a short time. The time and money investment is definitely worth it. The classes not only put the learned grammar into practice but are very fun and entertaining therefore make the learning process very enjoyable!

Victor Macias: It is difficult to be here without English

Cristina Leo: I highly recommend this school. You will have greats instructors, and you have the flexibility to take classes online, you choose what you want to study. Thanks to my teacher Jenifer for her hard work!

Anne Stromann: Alissa from ESL has been my teacher for almost a year. She is doing an amazing job - always very professional, encouraging and flexible. Alissa helped me with any requests and questions. She chose the most interesting topics and sources. Every week, I was looking forward to our class. We had a lot of fun, and I have learned so much from her. I can truly recommend ESL!

Natasha Shmulevich: Thanks very much to your team! Especially my wonderful teacher Alissa. I am very glad that I study English with her. She is an excellent teacher and professional. Alissa gave me a lot of knowledge and, most importantly, the confidence that I will succeed. To all those who want to learn English, I heartily recommend you ESL For Professionals.

shashidhar Vijayakumar: I had an amazing learning experience with ESL and in particular with Mr.Lee. Lee is an amazing Teacher. From the initiation of the class to the final class it was a breeze. I never felt ESL was pushing me into buying classes. Their approach to train you based on your needs, is a perfect recipe for success. The one on one training and coaching I received from Lee helped me a lot. I would recommend them any time. Thank you ESL and thank you Lee.

Emanuel C: I have been taking private lessons with ESL Professionals for the last couple of years, and it's been one of the best investments I've made. I am more confident when talking to customers over the phone and in person, and I am more confident in social settings. I am currently taking private lessons with Hanieh whom I totally recommend. She is very dedicated, she enjoys teaching, and she will give you feedback as many times as needed until you fix/ improve what is needed which is great!

Kimberly Becerril Fuentes: I had the pleasure to work with Erika and Hanieh and I can say my English has improved a lot, they are great teachers and they take the time to break down things in order to clarify and explain with a lot of detail. Hanieh is super well-organized and I've learnt more about pronunciation than in any other place. I highly recommend studying at ESL for Professionals.

Fernanda Noronha: . I am currently working with Hanieh to sharpen my pronunciation skills, improve my vocabulary, and excel in my communication style.The classes are very engaging; Hannieh always brings some exciting podcasts or articles to facilitate the class, which enriches the learning experience.Another thing that I appreciate about ESL For Professionals is the group classes. I've been participating in several of them, like the book club, pronunciation & accent reduction. It's an excellent opportunity to improve our knowledge and meet other people from different nationalities and experiences.I definitely recommend ESL For Professionals.

Emerson A. Noronha: . With them, I could finally see progress in my already advanced to fluent English in a matter of a few months. No matter if your goals with American English is for academic or business settings, I would strongly recommend ESL's services to anyone willing to move forward with American English.

Brice ANDRE: Hanieh is a great teacher, I really enjoyed my English classes! I strongly recommend ESL for Professionals. Thank you very much!

Francis Perez: ESL for Professionals is AWESOME! Hanieh was amazing and very helpful, she works around jobs schedule or any type of situation that comes along. I felt like I was back at college, reading materials, practicing and finishing my homework, yet everything was truly worth it. Definitely a great place to start if you want to improve your English skills and doesn't have a lot of time.

Francis Alcantara: .Been with Hanieh’s 1 on 1 class for more than two months now and I’m always excited to meet with her in our Zoom classes. She is not just there to assist me with my English proficiency needs, she’s also a friend. I am very comfortable having her as my instructor. She gave me pointers and techniques on how to deal with my uncertainties not just with what I enrolled for but also in life. Now I can say that Hanieh really developed my self trust and confidence especially in speaking the American English language.Hanieh is just above and beyond...

RANJITHA R: Hanieh is knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. She knows what is important for students to learn and made us learn quickly. She gave feedback on my writing and helped me in how to analyze research papers. Overall, I learned a lot in her class and she is a great teacher.

Jose Ramirez: The English Classes for Career and Academic Advancement had made a significant impact on the development of English as my second language. The professor's one on one interaction would enable the development of new vocabulary and proper pronunciation. For those that work during the week, this is an excellent opportunity to push yourself to the next level. Professors are very committed and knowledgeable, don't wait longer and enrolled yourself. See you in class, the road to success is always under construction.Jose M Ramirez

Sung Cho: I presented in front of the investors and I didn't like my accent, and 2

Narges Nekooei: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,Value

Kyoko Akyurek: Positive:QualityErika is an excellent teacher! She is smart, funny and always encouraging you. She helped me with my resume, business emails and letters, among a lot of others. I would not have gotten the current position if I didn't meet her. Her school offers a variety of classes. You will love it. You should try!

Allison Cox: I had a really wonderful time working with Teresa. She gave me very specific and concrete instructions on resume building, job hunting, and interviewing. I’m going into my job search with a lot more confidence, which I really needed! Thanks, Teresa!

Katherine Belsky: I can't recommend working with Teresa enough! She is insightful, patient, attentive, and incredibly supportive. Her program is thoughtful and well-structured. Working with Teresa over the course of the past 3 months has enabled me to connect with my skills, discover my passions, and uncover parts of myself previously unknown. I feel empowered to pursue my career goals. It is exciting to have defined a path that I am confident I can achieve. She has also introduced me to new tools and approaches that I wouldn't have considered otherwise. I am so glad I invested in myself and will always be so grateful to her for being such a supportive partner.

Jen EC: I had a fantastic experience with Teresa's career coaching program. I was in the middle of an ambiguous, pivotal career change and Teresa helped me clarify my north star so that I could make path-aligned decisions. Her help with resume writing was invaluable. Constructing a resume is both an art and a science and perfecting the process is critical for success in this competitive job market. Teresa's instructions/ guidance were a game changer.

Cristina Kawano: I found Teresa during a critical moment in my life. I had taken a long career break and was looking for a job. The search was challenging and at times it seemed like getting my career back on track was becoming an unattainable goal. I knew I needed support and that's how I ended up finding Teresa. I reached out to her and we quickly got a phone consultation. That went well and I got a feeling she could help me. As we started our sessions my impression regarding her service just kept improving! Shortly after we started our work together I saw a real difference in the way I approached my search and as a consequence the way the companies responded also changed. And that led to a beautiful job offer that I am really excited about.Teresa has a really interesting way of working with her clients. She brings the knowledge about job search, she meets you where you are and help you realizing what the next step should be. She doesn't give you any answers. She gives you the tools to go find them by yourself. And that's applicable to all the stages of our work together. She shared her knowledge with me in a way that allowed me to develop valuable life skills. There were also moments when we had tough conversations. Moments when I shared with her my uncertainty regarding the future and once again she was there to listen and share her perspective. She did not tell me what to do. She helped me finding my own answers by focusing my attention on what really mattered to me. And from there, I was able to make a plan that truly incorporated my values and priorities. That was nothing short of beautiful, a true growing experience that I will always treasure.Based on my experience, I can only think that any professional facing some degree of uncertainty would benefit from working with her. She is really experienced, insightful and compassionate. And would most likely have some valuable thoughts to share. Thank you, Teresa!!!

Casey Zhai: Throughout the coaching sessions, Teresa demonstrated exceptional expertise in various areas, from resume optimization and interview preparation to career planning and personal branding. Her insights were always insightful and practical, grounded in real-world experiences and up-to-date industry knowledge. She is a very genuine person.

Christopher Heitkemper: After participating in PathUp’s Job Search Strategy program, I highly recommend Teresa as a knowledgeable, insightful, and empathetic career coach. From our initial consultation and throughout the 3-session program, she listened attentively and empathetically, and asked follow-up questions in order to gain a thorough understanding of my background and current situation. From there, she was able to identify specific areas of my job search that she thought could use improvement, and focused our work on those areas to make the best use of our working sessions. In addition to her strategic recommendations, she also provided detailed reference materials for further reading and use in updating my resume, cover letter, and job search strategy. I most appreciated that Teresa framed all of her recommendations and strategies in the context of my individual situation, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. After working with Teresa, I’ve gained a completely new lens for how I approach my resume and job application strategy, and feel much more confident about how I’m presenting myself to potential employers.

Mete Yurtoglu: I got coaching from Theresa. She's thoughtful, energetic, and an expert in observing patterns and behaviors and in providing coaching/guidance in how to improve areas that need attention. Before coaching, I was thinking maybe books/videos can also do the job, but getting personalized guidance from a highly qualified coach made the difference. Thank you, Theresa!

T S: Teresa was extremely helpful throughout the career coaching process! I was apprehensive at first about not being the right fit for this type of counseling; as a current graduate student I thought that the advice might not resonate with me. This ended up not mattering- Teresa is great at meeting clients where they are and adapted her approach to suit my needs. She continuously checked in to make sure that I was feeling good about the work that we were doing together, and proactively responded when I voiced any concerns. Rather than feeling like all of my problems have been solved, I feel like Teresa has pointed me in the right direction and given me the tools to figure problems out in the future. Thank you so much Teresa!

Kristy Bruce: Teresa is hyper-organized, empathetic, and not afraid to ask tough questions that allow you to get to the root of why you need a change. From there, she keeps you accountable as you build your plan to implement that very necessary change. I enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend the online course and sessions. The course is like personal training at the gym --you have to come prepared to work, and Teresa's guidance will help ensure that you optimize your results.

DRAGON DREAM: Thank you so much for everything that you do and for all the great material. It's been an absolute transformation for me. Thanks Teresa.

Christian Hoffman: I signed up for PathUp's Career Fulfillment Program. You will 100% get a return on your investment. There is SO MUCH value packed into this course. Every 1 on 1 session I had with Teresa was fulfilling and meaningful. We went DEEP into my past, present, and future. It's true therapy. I felt like I was moving the needle in determining my life/career at the end of every workbook session and 1 on 1. I was a lost soul before all of this and by the end of the course, I was able to determine my path in life. 10/10 recommend!

Leanne Amistoso: I've been working with Teresa for about a year now and she has been an excellent career coach and mentor who has guided me on career advancement, resume building, and LinkedIn updates. Our sessions are productive, and I always walk away with new tools, knowledge and challenges I can apply to my current role as well as steps I can take to further my career. She goes out of her way to make time for her clients, and I appreciate her timely responses whenever I have questions. I plan on working with Teresa long term to help navigate me through industry changes and future opportunities. I highly recommend PathUp if you are looking for a Career Coach who can help you build your confidence and / or if you need career advice in your job search or career advancement opportunities.

Madelynne Zornes: Teresa has really helped me focus my career path and re-define what a career looks like for me. In addition to learning tools for a stronger approach to job searching, she helped me to define the relationship between "work" and "life" and address assumptions and values I was holding on to that were not my own. I recommend Teresa to all my friends and family and to anyone who is even slightly unsure of their path forward in life. I only wish I had been able to work with Teresa earlier in my career journey.

user lmck: I enjoyed my time speaking with Teresa. I came out feeling only a bit more prepared than when I began our sessions. I feel like it is my fault, as I probably purchased the wrong package; I am looking to leave jobs as soon as possible and purchasing the most expensive package was not the best fit for me at this time. I want to give a fair review, and I know this was my fault, but I can’t help but feel a little disappointed since this was a lot of money.

Marcelle Bearss: I cannot recommend PathUp highly enough! Teresa is an amazing career coach and she has come up with an excellent program that really works! I completely trusted Teresa and the career coaching process and I am SO glad that I did. She helped me identify a new career path that I feel excited about and helped me find the confidence to move forward. One of the best things I've ever done for myself.

Bianca Valenzuela: I've had a great experience with Teresa! She gave me awesome career-advancing tips and is very knowledgeable in various topics that I brought up during our meetings. I would recommend anyone thinking about receiving coaching to connect with Teresa.

Rubina Khorana: Teresa is a fantastic coach! She really cares about seeing you succeed. She's responsive and insightful when it comes to what you actually want in a career and she has out of the box ideas about how you can go about your career goals. Teresa has this intuitive gift to clearly see what her clients are actually thinking and she isn't afraid to challenge you when you most need it. She also doesn't waste your time and is very efficient in meetings. Most importantly, her personalized coaching provided me with the tools to succeed in my career in the future. I felt Teresa genuinely cared about me and I always felt empowered after our meetings. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs help in their career! If I need any career help in the future, you can bet I'll be back!

Sara Iwahashi: . I decided to turn to Teresa for help. I improved my resume, cover letter, and interviewing skills with Teresa's guidance and finally landed my first interview after several months of applying for jobs. I am much more confident going forward, and it's all thanks to Teresa!

Kevin Chiang: I cannot say enough good things about Teresa. I was applying to internship roles and getting interviews but not closing with any offers. I had applied to over 200 places - 137 with cover letters. My interview skills needed some work. At this point, I was feeling pretty stuck in my internship search.I had two sessions and felt energized to keep on applying and doing my best in the next interview. In each session, I knew what to expect and liked that we wrote notes throughout the session. Teresa gave me plenty of feedback. I walked away with stories that I did not know that I had. In the end, I got the role and industry that I wanted to be in.Thanks Teresa!

Hannah Tiffany: Found this gym just walking past and decided to try it out. I have been SO impressed with the care and attention the coaches take to make sure all members are safe, strong, included, and having fun. Atmosphere is fantastic everyone is happy and friendly while also pushing our strength and endurance. Highly recommend.

Raphael Puletz: Best place I've ever trained at! Strength Training, Breathing, Bodyweight, Holistic Coaching for Health and Wellness, and Amazing Customer Service. I've been training here for about 5 years and I feel and look the strongest I've ever been.

Mickie Sharp: A really wonderful place to learn how to get strong again. As a senior who needed to gain strength and balance and resiliency, all the instructors met me where I was and helped me gain the skills to do more! A super safe atmosphere where the all-ages studio community made me feel right at home. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to be better in their body - and it's fun too!

Mark Philiposian: Took the Groove Your Swing class and was very impressed! Andrea was great and taught the class in a way that really helped build a foundation for protecting my lower back. That’s something I’ve struggled with in other classes.Raphael was my first contact here and is an amazing, positive coach as well.Bonus points for running a very clean operation!

Andre Martinez: My experience of training here is something that I consider a key component of living well. Thank you for a therapeutic experience that has, and will continue to be a lifelong experience of moving safely and well.Thank you. A favorite way to check in with reality.

Hassan Nawaz: Kettlebility has been an amazing space for me in building better movement habits over the last year. I love the staff and all the knowledge nuggets that are dropped during classes that improve my understanding of my body.

Eric Walther: I wish there were more training facilities like Kettlebility. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. From beginner to advanced, there is something for everyone.

Xiaotong Yang: Great

Lisa Miller: Kettlebility is a fantastic gym! I’ve been in the fitness industry for 20 years as a yoga instructor and have been to many different types of gyms, Kettlebility is by far the best I’ve seen. The training is outstanding! The instructors are constantly watching your form and giving clear feedback in the moment. As a 51 year old woman I do not want to get injured! The attention to detail makes me feel safe training at Kettlebility. And everyone is super friendly! I felt welcomed into the community right away. The instructors knew my name within a week of my joining. Andrea’s positivity is simply infectious. As is the good energy from RAF, Michael and all the other instructors I’ve had. I highly recommend Kettlebility for building strength, gaining range of movement, and improving overall fitness.

Katherine Feldman: In the year and a half of training at Kettability I can honestly say it has changed my life. I walked in so out of shape and today am lighter, fitter, stronger and more agile than I thought possible. Andrea is the most knowledgeable, flexible, and genuinely positive force of nature in a trainer I have worked with. I can’t wait to experience the next levels of fitness continuing this training will bring. I recommend Andrea and Kettability without reservation.

Varun Godbole: I loved training at Kettlebility! I was visiting Seattle for a week and wanted a place to train the Simple and Sinister protocol. The gym was incredibly accommodating to my ad hoc request. I also got a lot of invaluable tips from the coaches on my swings and get ups!If you're in Seattle, I would highly recommend training at Kettlebility!!

Paul Reynolds: Can’t speak highly enough of Andrea, Raphael, Bethany, Vic, and everybody that makes this such a wonderful place to train. If I could give 10 stars I would! Fun, challenging, and a great workout every time!

Scott: Recently attended a full day StrongFirst kettlebell course at Kettlebility. I can't speak highly enough about Andrea and her group of trainers. The atmosphere was professional, fun, and I learned so much. There was a tremendous amount of attention paid to all participants by the trainers.If you're wanting to learn how to properly use a kettlebell in your exercise practice, this is the place!

Andrea Naert: I started at Kettlebility in 2015, joining a Body Transformation Challenge. It was 12 weeks of exercise and nutritional coaching. I lost weight, gained strength and flexibility. Because of the detailed training provided to the coaches and trainers, every exercise can be tailored to the individual student. This means that at all times, I was doing exercise that was right for MY body, working on perfect form and safety for MY fitness level. I was never, and never have been, in competition with any other student in the studio. My sense accomplishment in my progress remains a great source of pride.More important than fitness, though, is the community that the coaches and trainers have built for the students. I've joined and eventually dropped out of many gyms, exercise and diet programs because there was no sense of continuity, no sense of belonging or acceptance. I'm really happy being a part of the work being done in the studio.

Ra Reed: Truly can’t speak highly enough of our time here. Just wish we lived closer so we could join in more.

Luke Hartsock: Great place to get a thoughtful and well instructed work out. Really appreciate Andrea and all the staff and their commitment to help the members reach their fitness potential.

Tom Rohlf: Love working out here. Motivating and simple workouts that leave you feeling good

Lisa Callegari: Kylie is the best! She is so thoughtful, reliable, and knows how to help me to channel my strongest self in our training together. Can't recommend her more highly.

Carissa Camp: I’ve never been a gym person or found a consistent form of exercise I love, but working with Ana has given me enthusiasm and drive. She teaches a great balance of pushing myself to fully realize the strength I’m capable of, while also being mindful of my body and its limits and leading with kindness. She is incredibly clear and effective in her practical guidance. I feel stronger, more confident, and empowered training with Ana.

Lisa Schnitzius: Love Coach Kal, Anna and the entire team at Peaceful Training! Outside of these beautiful setting that the gym overlooks, and the personable 1-1 workouts, the trainers take a great interest in their clients and tailor a workout specific to your needs while also incorporating mindfulness and overall health to support your overall well being. I can't think of a better option for personal training!

Rein Irving: Working with Ana for the past year has been invaluable in creating a positive relationship with my body. Ana has shown me that a love for movement and building strength can be created with joy, excitement, and appreciation for my body’s abilities. I have gotten so much stronger since working with Ana and have learned how to work out effectively on my own. I’m so happy to have found a trainer that celebrates the body as it is and for what it is capable of. Thank you Ana!!!

Matthew Seymour: . I’ve learned to listen to my body, allowing it to make requests without judgment. I’ve also learned that exercise, even in a noisy or crowded gym, can be a moment for self-reflection.And if that doesn’t embody the words Peaceful Training, I’m not sure what does. Thank you, Coach Kal and Coach Ana!

Jeri Halpine: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityMy training sessions are the highlights of my week! Training is personalized, motivating, and highly attentive. The space is beautiful, relaxing, and exceptionally clean and the equipment is well maintained. Ticks all the boxes and I don't think there's a better option out there.

Susanna de Chenonceau: Coach Kal is amazing! He tailors the workouts to your personal goals and encourages you to achieve. I love being trained by a professional athlete, and especially one who incorporates mindfulness and healthy living into the plan. Can't recommend him highly enough, and while the location is awesome, on the water, he also does zoom sessions and can work with whatever equipment you may or may not have. He's great!

Jim: Peaceful Training is the place to be. I trained with Coach Kal in a 1:1 after I took a 6 month break hiatus from running and he helped me train properly for a half marathon again. Now I participate in his group speed training sessions. Not only have I gotten faster and lost weight, he helped me be more aware of my running like pacing, mindfulness, and effort levels. He teaches not only the exercise but the reasons why it is helpful to your goal. He makes sure that you are training smart and safe too. Highly recommended him for personal training and as a running coach.

Niki Duncan: Peaceful Training has literally transformed my life. I highly recommend you check it out. The combination of Outer Fitness & Inner Peace is the full package that helps you make real, lasting growth in living a healthier life, both mentally & physically. Coach Kal is very knowledgeable, caring & thorough. He will help you lift your life to the next level & beyond.

Wade: I had trained before and gotten in good shape. The problem was sustainability. Through Kal we have targeted my health, my body, and my mind. The later being the key to my success in sustaining my pursuit in staying healthy. I can truly say that I have been shown the way to inner peace. Oh yea, I am in great shape also. Kal rocks!

Anne Petty: . These runs have helped provide structure to my workouts, keep me motivated, and made me feel apart of a community of diverse and supportive people.Coach Kal really goes above and beyond for these runs. Each week he creates 4 different length runs on Strava, which he emails out to everyone to look over ahead of time. The runs are carefully planned and allow runners to consider their options beforehand and learn the route. Kal is super knowledgeable, having run for Georgetown and then as a professional Nike athlete. He's approachable and always makes sure to check in with each runner before and after the run. In addition to his running expertise, there's an aspect of Mindfulness that he brings to the runs. For me, this helps to remind me to listen to my body, stay safe, and stay in the moment.In addition to the Sunday runs, I recently met with Kal for a personal training session, which I found to be incredibly helpful. He helped me create a training routine that would build on my current abilities and one that I'm able to do mostly from my home.Whether you're looking for help in training for a marathon or just want to stay fit, Peaceful Training is an amazing resource. Definitely worth checking out.

Josh Moan: I work out regularly, however had reached a plateau. Kal helped me refocus on what my goals are and showed me new and different ways to workout to keep it interesting and get to the next level of fitness.

Internet Girl: I've had the pleasure of working alongside Kal as a manager of The Seattle Gym, where he trains, for the past three and a half years. In that time I have seen him inspire growth and confidence in some of the younger boys that he works with and I have watched him coach all of his clients in mind, body and spirit. I love Kal's unique approach to training and as a Nike coach and a former Georgetown athlete he certainly has a wealth of experience to draw from as well! I would highly recommend Kal to anyone looking for a well-rounded approach to training as well as those who are looking for a trainer who specializes in track and field/running.

Shannon Ansbaugh: Kal is great! He actually makes fitness fun! He is always positive, he is motivating and he helps make a workout more than just one more thing to do on the to do list. Kal uses a holistic approach where each custom tailored work out ends with a meditation or goal for the upcoming week. I feel stronger, fitter, and and have a better mindset now about fitness overall!

Doug Kisker: who wanted me to do everything their way and said I wouldn't succeed. Rather than putting the horse blinders on like those trainers, Kal took them off and showed me how much I could do on my own- and the success has been fantastic!

Chris McMullen: I have just started to work with Peaceful Training and I have improved my strength, speed, and abilty to focus on what I am doing. I always have a great time working out. I would recommend for anyone to try it out and see how they like it.
