Q: What originally sold me on signing up is how easy it is to cancel if need be with no fees. This appealed to me bc of my busy lifestyle. I tried for 5 weeks to cancel my membership after a month of working out but seeing no real results. I got charged the fee after I had called to cancel and they would not refund because phone "records" didn't match my story. I called 3x wherein they told me someone would call me back - instead of canceling my membership as requested. So I went by in person and Brave the manager was never in to cancel it. Apparently she is the only one who can authorize a cancelation?? After several attempts I finally got her on the phone - I was livid because I was charged a fee after leaving several "messages" with people to please cancel. She "waived" the upcoming second charge as if I didn't give 30 days notice. It took me over 30 days to cancel - if original request was followed I wouldn't have been charged this month. Terrible records and customer service. It's definitely a sales boiler room used car salesman feeling you get as soon as you try to cancel. I've had several friends tell me the exact same story.

Q: Well, this will teach me to check here first - 3 stars? I probably would have chosen a different place to have lunch. This is my first Pei Wei experience, and even before the food gets here, I know I won't be back, at least, not to this location. The man taking my order at the counter was just downright rude when I asked about the spiciness of the pad thai. I thought it was a reasonable question, one I've asked a gazillion times in a bazillon restaurants. He launched into a tirade about not knowing other people's taste buds, the spiciness not being adjustable, etc. and I finally had to cut him off with "I gotcha" just to shut him up. Rude, rude, rude. Not acceptable to me. I'm really hoping the food is good. At least, there's that. And yes, I ordered the pad thai. For now, they get 2 stars because it smells good in here. I'll update the review after I've eaten. Updated review of food: fairly tasty, ingredients fresh, slices of tofu kind of weird (I eat a lot of tofu but have never had this kind with with dark edges), sauce much oilier than other pad thais I've had, and my taste buds would call it medium spicy. Would I order it again? Probably not - too much oil for my liking. I might try something else on the menu but as I already mentioned, not at this location. Keeping the 2 stars.

Q: On a Monday/Tuesday night, if you time it right, Postino's is a neighborhood staple in Arcadia. The $20 for a bottle and board of bruschetta is a *steal*. As one of employee said, "How could you not order this?" while we waited for our table. My friend and I arrived early to request a table for four. Perched on a tall side table we enjoyed a full view of the restaurant. Sipping not so daintily we quickly passed the 45 minute wait. Once seated Bethany was a wonder. Our bill was seamlessly transferred and waters arrived. The neat thing about traveling in a pack of four is that, Yes, You Can drink three bottles of wine. What could possibly be better than that? It removes the need to think hard about the bruschetta menu. (There are 12 options so we had one of each brought out.) We surprised the fella in the group. He doubted that three bruschetta boards would be sufficient to feed his hungry belly. If you haven't been before, a bruschetta is palm sized and sliced into four pieces. Trust me, there's plenty. But if you're still hungry this is a wine bar and they have food. The panini selection is wonderful, I beg to argue the Nine Iron is the best. (Bacon layered with grilled chicken, burrata mozzarella, lettuce, beefsteak tomato and dijonnaise!) Another approach, perhaps on another visit, is to order the Butchers Block (big assortment of meat and cheese) for $14 and/or the Cheese Board for $13. If for some reason wine is not up your alley, Postino's offers pitchers of beer. If you need to drink a cocktail...suck it up kid. That's not happening here. The Mon/Tue special begins at 8pm. I'd recommend scoring a table before the start time, even if that means buying some appetizers beforehand. Make sure to ask for Bethany! She's the sweetest thing!

Q: I love yoga and thought that anti gravity yoga sounded fun, but I was a little skeptical about hanging upside down in a swing for relaxation. The instructor, Kelly, was incredible. She made sure I felt safe and was able to tailor the class so that I could catch on to everything even though I had never taken it before. I have had many yoga classes and never left feeling as stretched out and relaxed as I did after anti gravity yoga. It even had a little cardio element to get the workout buzz going during the class. I also was convinced by a friend to try out the aerial silks class. I quit gymnastics after I learned a cartwheel and I have seen Cirque du Soleil performances on silks so once again i was nervous to try it out. Knowing that the aerial instructor had been in "O" did make it a pretty exciting opportunity. To my surprise, the beginners class was designed for pretty much anyone to take. There were people more advanced than me, but he personalized the class for each level. i practiced basic wraps and holds while they started tricks. I felt like I was given plenty of individual attention and the class was so fun. These classes are a very welcome break from my regular fitness routine of running and lifting. I will definitely be going back! For the classes and instruction you get the prices are not bad at all. the classes are all between $15 -$25 and are even lower if you buy a package deal. The staff and instructors there are great as well. they are all excellent at what they do and so personable. Kelly even remembered my friends and my names even when we hadn't been there for over a week and a half from our first visit. I recommend trying out Shine. It is certainly a unique and fun way to work out. I am even bringing some of my friends here when they visit to do the silks class because its something that is not offered in most places and it will be an unforgettable addition to their visit!
