Universal Kempo-Karate School

Stew and Leta Levett (the owners) are outstanding, caring, tremendous instructors and mentors.  I have entrusted them with my own children many times.  They and their school have been a staple in the Colorado Springs community since 1980.  If I could give them 10 Stars, I would gladly do so.  They are the best of the best.

Professor Levett has been my instructor for over 7 years. He is an exceptional teacher and mentor. I love our Kempo Ohana here at westside and highly recommend you come check out our westside branch and try out a class. Adults and kids alike, everyone is welcome!

Professor Levett has always taught me something new and not only has taught me self defense, but has also brought me into a family at this school. I appreciate the learning environment and there is never a time where I get bored! Much appreciation to Professor Levett’s hard work and effort.

The Levetts are so kind, caring and warm-hearted and we are so glad we found them for karate for our 8 year old daughter.  She looks forward to class and I love that she is learning how to defend herself and enjoying it at the same time.  Thank you!

Mr Levett had a big impact on my life and I couldn't image my life without him. Kempo Karate is the best family I could ever ask for.

Visiting Angels

After being asked repeatedly to leave a GREAT review by the staff, this is my experience.

Since working with this company I have noticed there is a lack of communication between the staff. And definitely between clients as well as employees which is truly sad. There is no genuine interest in clients care, I had to advocate more than once regarding showers. It was apparent if a client can not speak for themselves nothing will get done. Even after mentioning evidence of neglect due to the lack of perennial care and regular showers. I have expressed my concern more than once about the lack of care. As well as the lack of consistency to give regular showers. Even suggested to have bathes added to their daily tasks to avoid it being overlooked. After yet again bringing it to their attention a 3rd time they finally corrected it. Another thing is they love to push blame to clients regarding remaining hours and the lack of communication between them. Some clients don't receive the same treatment as others. They will express their frustrations amongst one another, instead of addressing it with the clients. Also, when I began working they never made it required to work on weekends. Now they are making it a requirement to work on weekends, no exceptions. They disregarded my concerns and did not want to discuss any resolution. Instead I was sent the verification of availability forms over repeatedly to push me to complete it. I feel that they do not genuinely care about the needs of the employees. They can sure put on a facade to keep their image up, but the lack of their actions shows they can care less.

As a caregiver that has been working here for a few years, I particularly enjoy that this office is personal, friendly & helpful , willing to truly work with you to make your caregiver/ client experience really "click" so that you want to come to work. If you have a heart for truly caring for the elderly, disadvantaged, are patient & are able to do few basic skill sets,  this office staff will really do all they can to keep you succeeding toward the best outcome you wholly desire for your clients, while also providing a generally creative schedule to allow  personal time , family life, etc. I have a career of 25 years in Nursing Home , Assisted Living , Alzheimer Units, Home Health Agencies. They are the best company I have ever worked for, to date, because of the people who work in the Office & I am forever grateful to them .

As a caregiver that’s only been working here for a month and a half it’s been the best job I’ve had! It’s given me the opportunity to love on others just as Jesus loves us. It’s been a great opportunity to shine my light to others just as Jesus has said too! It’s truly one of the best jobs out there! I also love the office staff and how generous they are! This place is amazing!!!!

Really great place to work. Great staff and dedicated caregivers. Super friendly, and always try fitting the best caregiver to the right client.

Update 3months later:
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE WORKING HERE!!! I’m almost to my 6 month mark of working for this company and it just gets better. They have showed me how much I love caregiving and how good a work environment can be. They are very helpful and accommodating to there staff and caregivers. From giving some holidays off if asked in advance, to only requiring one weekend a month that you work at least a 4hr shift (which you get to chose where). They do there best to work with you from making sure you get the hours you want, to communicating if something changes. The office staff are super nice and are fun to talk to, and they don’t mind that I come by just to check in on things. I love working for this company and hope to stay around for a while.💜

I really enjoy working for Visiting Angels, the clients and the Agency are the best!  I always feel supported and valued by the staff at VA, and any questions or issues that arise are resolved quickly and in a positive manner.  They always have my back!

Springfield Smile Doctor

I've been visiting Dr. Randi Green and the Smile Team for nearly ten years. They have helped me tremendously with the tmj, bruxism, and regular dental work I experience. I'm always met with a welcome and a smile. They always ask about my needs. Everyone communicates clearly. It's obvious that they care about their patients and want everyone to feel comfortable. I wouldn't use any other as long as I am in the area. Thank you to all the staff for making all my dental needs easy. 😀

After watching my husband get excellent care for his TMJ and get his smile back, I decided to work on my smile! I now have Invisalign’s (I’m 58 😳) and I am thrilled with the results! We have also moved our regular dental care to Springfield Smile Doctor. Their level of care is the best we have ever had! Everyone is so kind and caring. For the first time in my life, I look forward to a visit to the dentist!

I had a tooth extracted and an implant placed the same day, Dr. Moore did such an excellent job of the extraction I didn’t even realize it was out. He talked through the process of what he was doing , which made it so much easier to go through. Dr. Moore called me the next day to check how I was doing, I had very little swelling and just minimal soreness. All in all my experience with Dr. Moore and the entire staff was outstanding! I highly recommend the Springfield Smile Doctor for all your dental care.

Thank you to Dr Green and her staff for a great first visit to the office today. We were very comfortable from the moment we checked in for our visit. The hygienist Olivia was so friendly and explained everything perfectly. Dr Green was so kind and took the time to address all our concerns. The care and knowledge the staff show is what makes this dental practice stand apart from the rest. So glad we found Dr Green & the Smile Team

Dr Rand Green is the premiere dentist in town. She is highly skilled, has an excellent bedside manner, and you get what you pay for. Her practice and knowledge is incredible and also specialized. Her treatment plans make sense and genuinely are designed to improve not only your cosmetic appearance, but also your overall health and quality of life. She is higher priced than many of the dentist, but this is because of the highly specialized work she does and she should be considered a specialist deserving of this. She thinks outside of the box and wants to fix the “root of the problem” (no pun intended), versus just symptom relief alone.
Before Dr Green, my family and I had received services at other clinics in the area and did not have good success, and had a hard time with accessibility also.
Dr Green was recommend by a respected oral surgeon we value a lot as an option and we are very pleased with this referral and great communication with that office as well as endodontics and orthodontist in the area.
We also saw her partner on a different day when dealing with a dental emergency and he made himself accessible on his day off and treated us promptly and kindly and took care of our dental emergency.
One of our children has severe dental anxiety because of a bad experience elsewhere, and Dr Green was so kind and empathetic she understands the psychological fear behind some people’s phobias of oral interventions and provides thorough and informed consent even to pediatric patients by talking to them directly.
At this point, she has been the best dentist for our needs.

Our family hired Visiting Angels approximately one and a half years ago.  I cannot say enough about this wonderful team of professionals!  The communication is spot on, they are 100 percent reliable and the level of care is more than we ever expected!  A special shout out to Elena and Judy.  They truly are ‘Angels’ in my book. They have consistently gone the extra mile for our family and we so appreciate them!  This organization has changed our lives and my sister and I can live our best lives knowing our elderly parents can live independently but with a little help…❤️

Visiting Angels was the greatest help to us in the last weeks of my dad's life in his battle with cancer. He wanted to stay at home and we wouldn't have been able to take care of him without Visiting Angels' assistance. These are amazing people that served us so well! We remember each individual and what they did for us. Such a blessing!!! I highly recommend their service!

All of the caregivers and the care management team at Visiting Angels have been absolutely wonderful for my 94-year-old mother, who lives with us. Due to my mom's failing eyesight, which causes unsteadiness, she had been reluctant to do some of the things that were previously important to her. The caregivers have taken this responsibility off my plate, and on their assigned days, Mom has all the encouragement she needs from them. They are compassionate and help where needed: assisting with showering, dressing, putting away her laundry, prepping/picking up after her meals, reading the news, and having great conversation with her. Jeff, Christie, Jacqui, Benita and the entire management staff are beyond helpful! They are great with instant communication, making sure concerns are addressed and needs are being met. The caregivers and the rest of the team are concerned for us as family caregivers, as well. They all make an effort to check on our well-being, too. Honestly, Visiting Angels is more than a service.... they are like family!

Jeff and his team at Visiting Angels were exceptional. From the first phone call to the last visit, I am floored by their level of care. As I helped my mom navigate policies and family schedules, Jeff patiently answered questions and directed me to resources. Initially, my grandfather felt shame in receiving care, he was an independent man and this life transition was difficult for him.  When Jeff visited my grandfather in person for the intake meeting, Jeff connected to him and made him feel seen.

After the first week of visits my grandfather was smitten with the gals. He looked forward to seeing his visitors so much. The personal attention, compassion, patience, professionalism, and quality of care Jeff's team provided was above and beyond. Jeff's Visiting Angels brought fresh energy, faith, and joy to our life. My grandfather was treated with the utmost respect and he grew to trust his angels, even allowing them to bathe him. He always felt respected and deeply cared for.

Truly, thank you Jeff for the service that you and your dedicated team provide. I will be recommending your team to anyone who needs you. May God bless you!

My husband is a Navy veteran & through the VA we have enjoyed Visiting Angels' in-home care.  From the administration to scheduling and the actual provision of services, Visiting Angels' recieves 5 stars from us.  Efficient, effective, knowledgeable, professional & creative.   Connie Johnson

Rocky Mountain Pro / RMP Wrestling Academy

We were looking into taking our nephews and niece for my nephews bday and stumbled across this. They loved it so much have not stopped talking about it still. We want to take them again but the shows look to be on Tuesdays only now. I’m glad we were about to take them we had no idea it would be their favorite!!! The wrestlers came over and signed their shirts and talked to them they had an experience of a lifetime and felt so special. We had fun spending the time with them as well!! If you get a chance to catch a show it’s a unique experience.  Didn’t get many photos because everyone was just enjoying their time together!!

I can not say enough about this place. Excellent entertainers, fantastic fans, and a cast and crew that respect each other and the business their in. If you want a show that's entertaining for all and guaranteed to make you want to come back, I would highly recommend Rocky Mountain Pro Wrestling.

And hey, if you want to join the action, then the Al Snow (yes, THAT Al Snow) Wrestling Academy they've got is one of the best. The coaches dedicate their time to making you not only better in the ring but to make you a prospect in the future of pro wrestling.

Have been with the school since 2014. Hands down best service and teachings. Not only do they teach you how to stay safe in the ring, but how to brand yourself. Only school in Denver I would attend! Thank you Al Snow Wrestling Academy for making my life more than I thought it could ever be.

I’ve been training at MWPA and going to Rocky Mountain Pro shows since June. Best place around to learn not only wrestling technique, but character development, production, and how to be a performer.
Wonderful group of people providing an array of opportunities.
The shows are fun, the fans are great, and the leadership is out of this world.

Incredible coaching staff that motivates unlike any other. One of the best cultures in wrestling both in the crowd and behind the scenes. A wealth of knowledge from every style of wrestling and across different eras. Can’t say enough good stuff about RMP

United States Karate Academy

Sensei Jennie is amazing. I grew up in martial arts and later boxing, where I was trained by a multiple time world champion.

I have an autistic son who finished ABA, and I wanted to put him into a sport that he could learn about confidence and discipline. Again I am no stranger to the discipline of combat and the multiple ways it is taught, so I searched around. There are far too many places that in my opinion teach children how not to be.

Sensei Jennie is everything you could ever want for your child. She is patient, understanding, tough, fair, and a role model for everyone. Beyond martial arts, she takes the time to instill the proper values, such as dedication and respect. Most importantly, she teaches the ultimate fact in life,  if you didn’t earn it, it’s worthless.

If you want your child to learn how to be a better person, look no further.

I am not big on reviews and I would never say what I said without fully believing it. You won’t be dissapointed.

Good place, excellent and patient instruction. Only critique is very little online showing schedule and sign up procedures. But it is a legitimate licensed facility of good martial arts instruction and fair pricing.

Great teachers, patient and knowledgeable.  My kids have learned so much from this school and are loving it!

Accolade Fitness

I just joined this gym through Active and Fit. If you’re into competitive weightlifting or bodybuilding than this gym may not be for you. It’s a locally owned gym but it has a commercial vibe. No chalk is permitted, you can’t remove shoes/shirts, and there are signs indicating if you drop the dumbbells you’ll have your membership cancelled. Now that’s not the reason for the 4 stars since I can’t dock them for who they cater to. The equipment is average, nothing special but you can definitely get a solid workout. It’s also not 24/7. Charlie was very nice but the guy with the tattooed fingers wasn’t.

Been going to this gym for a few weeks. It's quiet and I rarely have to wait to use anything when working out. Staff seem pretty chill and friendly and the price is reasonable. You can also bring a guest for free at anytime. Only complaint is the building is like a dead zone for cell service. Public Wifi is currently having issues but I imagine will get fixed soon

I would like to see a standing calf raise machine if possible as well as a laying bench press machine, and decline chest press machine but understand that space is limited

I love this gym. I go here to avoid the people I regularly interact with up in divide and woodland park. They have saunas in the bathrooms and tanning beds as well. The gym offers many options and excellent setups. The classes are mostly reliable however, not always available. The zumba is a bit too easy and not intense as well. All 3 levels.

I've been with this gym since it opened in 2009. Clean and well run. Everybody is happy there. Casey and Sarah are the new owners who will carry on Duane and Kelly's awesome culture.

I travel around the country a lot and it's hard to find a gym this good. Great staff, lots of equipment, and never too crowded to get a serious lift. I would recommend this gym to anyone and if I lived in Colorado Springs, I would make this my permanent gym.  Only a few things keeping Accolade from being perfect. (1) The clips that keep the attachments on the cables are permanently attached. This is a safety hazard for those of us who like to use the cables without the attachment because it could easily catch a finger on release and break it. (2) It would be cool to have a pronate close grip attachment like the Mag Grips. (3) The biggest sin is not having a plate loaded iso lateral row machine.

Either way, I am lucky to call this place my temporary home for a month!

VASA Fitness

Cannot recommend this place in its current state. I have been doing free trials at the local gyms, trying to find the best bang for my buck. This one is the worst by far.

It was packed on a Thursday afternoon (before 5 pm) and dirty. I only saw 1 employee and he was overwhelmed with the phone, checking people in, helping people trying to buy drinks and so nothing was getting cleaned. He didn't have time to answer any of my questions about the gym and I couldn't use any of the nicer amenities. He was doing the best he could, but they are understaffed.
As I walked around, the gray insulation from the ceiling was literally falling on people. I ended up going to the only machine that was open. Half of the TVs were frozen or blank, and the other half were playing different seasons of Hells Kitchen. It was really ironic and I should've left from the moment I stepped in.
I actually ended up getting really sick from this place, had to miss 2 days of work. It was not worth the 1 day free trial, avoid this place!

I have really enjoyed coming here! The group fitness classes are great and get me motivated. I especially enjoy the flow and deep stretch classes. My daughter really likes coming to the day care as well! The lady's that work in there are really awesome and I feel totally comfortable leaving my daughter there with them! Highly recommend!

I love going to VASA over say, PF or CHUZE because the people are way nicer. Planet Fitness has weird machines and no free weights. CHUZE has people who think they’re better than you. VASA is the perfect place if you’re looking to grow on yourself and FOCUS. Everyone here is way too focused on themselves to be even noticing you. Also this location is better than the one in Aurora. Hands down. Not too many people being rambunctious. However the perfect time to have a good workout and an amazing start to your day will always be 5:00 - regardless of where you are. I would recommend this VASA to my friends and family!

I loved the location when first opening , no populace at all- but now it seems too crowded no matter what time I go. Hopefully that changes with the new one opening up nearby, other than that some of the machines could use maintenance (new batteries , leather repair) and cleanliness is starting to fall sometimes it makes me wonder what the membership increase is for if they don’t upkeep the gym anyway. If these things could improve I’d throw it back up to 4-5 stars.

The facilities are cool but so dirty. The staff should work on keeping it all way cleaner, the bathrooms smells like armpits and you can see hand marks on the walls around the whole gym literally... the gym is definitely way past due on a deep clean. For the price that I pay for my studio membership I'm definitely not 100% happy with how dirty every corner is.

Colorado Academy of Martial Arts

CAMA has been a powerful influence on my daughter's life.  She started as a white belt at age 7 and earned her black belt at age 11 (youth rank).  Now at age 15, she's in the adult classes working her way up the ranks.  We are, of course, proud of her accomplishments but I can say with certainty her success is directly related to the support she has been given by her sensei's over the years.  She stayed with jujitsu all this time because of the amazing instructors.  She was encouraged when she struggled, she was guided when she was not focused (with needed sternness at times),  she has felt accepted and recognizes that she belongs in the CAMA "tribe" every single moment she's been there.  The folks at CAMA care about their students.  The sensei's love what they do and they are exemplary role models.  They are passionate about teaching the principles of kempo jujistu and the experience you gain in working with them will change your life.  We are incredibly thankful that Roland, Laurel and the CAMA staff has been part of developing our daughter into the capable young adult she is today.  You cannot go wrong by going with Colorado Academy of Martial Arts.

A relatively small school, Colorado Academy really has the family feeling you look for in a local business. The teaching is effective and individualized, focusing on self-defense and personal discipline and development. The staff always welcomes us by name, not only the student but siblings and parents as well. They're as excited for their students' advancement as we are, and really seem to care a lot. It's a great place to learn and hone traditional jui jutsu skills while building community and friendships at the same time.

What a great place for a kid to grow ,learn how to help others and increase their self confidence.  Our son has been going to Colorado Academy of Martial Arts for over 4 years and it has helped him grow in so many ways.  High marks for the staff and the owners.

Everyone from the staff to the students represent the highest level of professionalism and respect. The facilities are clean, and well kept. The compassion and care given to the children is top notch. Overall this is a great environment for children and adults to learn self defense, and gain confidence in everyday life.

You have just found a great Martial Arts school and you do not have to look any further.  There are two systems (Jujitsu- unarmed and Arnis - armed) that you can learn and the two systems are very complementary of each other.  I have over 10 years experience with Martial Arts and have trained in two systems and trained at many different martial arts schools.  I started taking classes with CAMA just over 2 years ago and this is the best Martial Arts School I have had the privilege of attending.  The staff is excellent and there are many trainers that have very high experience levels.  The facility is excellent and the training schedule is very flexible for the working adult.  Come in and take a few classes - you will be coming back for more.
