Leisure Learning Unlimited, Inc. is a privately owned continuing-education firm in Houston, Texas, which after operating for nearly four decades, ceased to function normally during the first quarter of 2017. Established in 1979 by Ted Weisgal and Kathy Kamin, Leisure Learning Unlimited (LLU) offered non-credit courses for people interested in taking up new hobbies, getting exercise and recreation, enhancing their careers, and socializing. The face-to-face classes stopped and the online classes were supposed to be offered by a new business.

Leisure Learning class schedule
LLU prints and distributes its schedule every two and a half months. It is on display in approximately 1,000 locations across the city. The publication racks are usually located at the entrances of restaurants, retail stores, grocery stores, and nightclubs. Several county, municipal, and school system libraries also stock the schedules.
Variety of classes
In a recent course schedule, LLU offered 1,129 sessions of 478 classes on a wide array of subjects, including arts and crafts; fine arts; book and film discussion; cooking and nutrition; do-it-yourself home and vehicle repair; social dancing; photography; computer skills; instrumental and vocal music; travel; relationship advice; business; financial planning; and sports, recreation and fitness.
Leisure Learning student base
As of March 2009, over 11,000 Houston-area residents have taken 20 or more courses from LLU. Of those repeat students, more than 1,200 have taken 50 classes. The large student base and word-of-mouth promotion contribute to LLU's visibility in the greater Houston community.
