Riders First - Schererville

Experiencia fantástica: My rider coaches took time to explain what we was doing. How to do it an an we got it done.

Experiencia negativa: Better places and instructors out there. I would suggest checking around to find instructors who care and aren’t rude. When it comes to learning how to ride instructors need to keep their ego either at home or the bars.

Experiencia fantástica: Stacy is an excellent instructor. She’s patient with new riders, explains everything clearly, and knows how to encourage while helping fix bad habits. Riding felt comfortable and enjoyable because of her.

Experiencia positiva: Took basic class with Instructors Kat and Wayne Both were very knowledgeable, kind and patient Class was better than basic class I took a few years ago I would recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Very good course and very good instructors. Both instructors were very sweet in their own ways and clearly knowledgeable and helpful. If you have even a little bit of experience, you are likely to excel, as long as you have a good attitude and a wanting to learn and get better. If you have no prior experience and are a complete beginner like myself, I would still 100% recommend this course, because you will have bad habits they will point out right away. Also because it’s better to drop a course bike than your own, that way you can better avoid it when you’re riding yours. Don’t go into this course expecting to get a license or even expecting to be street-ready. Do go into this course with a good attitude, fully committing to the early 6:45am arrival time, expecting to be taught the absolute basics as well as techniques for riding, and with full acceptance of whatever happens :D

Experiencia fantástica: For some reason this place has a lot of negative reviews. I recently completed by Basic Riders Course and got my endorsement. Both Stacy and Jeff were patient and helpful with the entire group and not just me. They are very skilled and helped the entire crew to the best of their ability. I would recommend this course and this location to everyone despite the other reviews you see online, trust me.

Experiencia negativa: Very rude instructor, counseled out for no reason

Experiencia negativa: The snarky response about my review just goes to show how they treat you. This class is advertised as a beginner class, but they yell at you for beginner mistakes? Jeff has no patience and would rather yell or scoff at you than tell you what you did wrong. Multiple of the people in my class shared the same thoughts. If you volunteer to be a teacher at least be good at it.

Experiencia negativa: Replying to the response, I took this class last year. The coaches were so incredibly rude. You’d do something wrong, and instead of telling you what was wrong, they’d just scoff. It was completely unwelcoming, especially to those who are younger. A guy in my class dropped the bike and he was humiliated in front of everyone. Jeff’s ego is absolutely ridiculous and he should not be a teacher.

Experiencia fantástica: Stacy and Steve were great instructors. They were very patient, informative, and made the class a lot less stressful. I learned a lot and really appreciated how supportive they were. I would Highly recommend it!

Experiencia fantástica: Jeff and Stacy are great instructors and this was an awesome class to learn more about riding on the street. I’ve been riding for years, but I still was able to learn something from this course and I would highly recommend it. Have fun and safe riding!

Experiencia negativa: Terrible place with a terrible instructor. Do not go here. Complete waste of time and money. Find somewhere else that actually cares about motorcycle riders

Experiencia negativa: One instructor was very Nice and the other instructor was very rude disrespectful and impatient………. so when I got there, they was working on the bikes. I should’ve knew that was a red flag in the door. instructor very rude, gave me a hazard bike , By kept cutting off, then it just wouldn’t start at all……….. they said they had no other bikes and I just have to reschedule and take a lost……… like it was nothing………. So I ask the instructor for the company number Due to the situation…….. I called the company, explained the situation refused to bring another bike to the site. I asked for a refund. They gave me a hard time with getting a refund and was very Disrespectful I will not suggest this company to anyone!

Experiencia positiva: I decided to take this course, never had ridden a motorcycle in my life. And I don’t regret 1 second of it! Motorcycling is not joke and the coaches were really firm on pointing out all my bad habits and by the end of the course I had got really comfortable riding and actually passed the course as well!! Thanks for all the help, would recommend this class to anyone who is serious about riding and someone who can isn’t afraid of getting out of their comfort zone!

Experiencia negativa: I was at the class the 1st weekend of April and I walked off 2hrs into the class as a 1st time rider you definitely need a teacher with more patience and willing to work with you. The female teacher was HORRIBLE and made me feel very uncomfortable and just expected me to listen to her directions and just be able to do what she said. She didn’t even try to stop me from walking off the class she didn’t care they got my money and that was that.

Experiencia fantástica: I recently completed the Riders First Motorcycle Safety Training, and I couldn't be happier. As a rider with minimal experience, I was looking for a course that could go over the basics of riding a motorcycle and Riders First delivered exactly that. What stood out to me the most was how the instructors took the time to make sure everyone in the class was keeping up and understanding the material. They didn't just show us how to do things but they explained the 'why' behind each technique and maneuver, which really helped me grasp what was going on. The hands-on approach during the training sessions was phenomenal. Whether it was practicing turns, braking techniques, or navigating obstacles, the instructors were there every step of the way, providing guidance and encouragement. Overall, I highly recommend this safety course to anyone looking to learn how to ride or improve their riding skills.

Experiencia fantástica: Cheree is great, other instructor was great, learning experience was great. Learning to ride ain’t for sissies!

Experiencia fantástica: Had an amazing time I’ve never been on a motorcycle and learned a lot. Che’ree was an amazing coach and incredibly knowledgeable I would highly recommend taking class for new riders.

Experiencia fantástica: After reading some of these reviews I was definitely skeptical about signing up. After I decided to give it a try I was really surprised at how professional and knowledgeable the coaches were. Especially reading the reviews about one particular coach ( Cheerie ) she was absolutely amazing and beautiful inside and out. This was a lesson that you can’t always rely on reviews from people who don’t take accountability for their actions. Good job guys two thumbs up

Experiencia positiva: This class is good at teaching people how to ride a motorcycle comfortably. It's not a super easy course, it pushes you to get used to and get good on a bike. Worth the money if you can make it. HOWEVER!! Che'ree Blades was a horrible person and ruined the class. I was very unhappy. The owner was a little harsh towards me. But let me retake the class without paying and without her there. I passed the class with a near perfect score. Che'ree is a terrible instructor that needs to be removed. She made this class a waste of time and money

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to learn how to ride.. would highly recommend to friends and family.

Experiencia negativa: I would not recommend you come here for riders training. The coach is extremely rude and condescending. I believe Sherri was her name. She berated students for messing up while also not providing good advice on how something is supposed to be done. It’s like she forgot the fact that this is most people’s very first time on one. Coach Steve was awesome and very pleasant to be with. He took the necessary time to make sure everyone was where they needed to be at. This would have been 5 stars if not for this instructor.

Experiencia fantástica: Great class to learn the fundamentals of operating a motorcycle. The instructors are tough but I believe they’re that way because riding a motorcycle isn’t a game and there’s potentially life altering consequences for messing up on one. Because of that, I appreciate the way they go about training students to ride.

Experiencia negativa: Treats the students terribly. You pay money to be taught to ride and they don’t even do that. It’s ridiculous

Experiencia negativa: Imma give it a three out of 5. The course it self was amazing. Who was teaching sucked. Told us that we are wasting her time. The words “I tried” wasn’t good enough. Told me I wasn’t doing when I obviously was. She just wasn’t looking at any of us FIRST TIME riders. For her to completely disregard that we are first time riders was bull. Because again. I DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING. I am so mad and annoyed for the way she treated all of us. I am not mad that I was pulled. I am mad of the way the coach treated us. And annoyed that I paid a lot of money just for her to treat me like garbage. Didn’t greet us when we first walked up. Only gave dirty looks. And kept giving me and others really dirty looks. Never again or would even recommend for anyone. Even if you do know how to ride. A kid in my class who had been a rider for 6 years already was told not to waste her time.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience with Riders First. Cher Ree and Steve are both extremely knowledgeable, and patient. I highly recommend anyone wanting to learn the basics and/or earn a Motorcycle endorsement to book a course with Riders First .
