Gym is in a dangerous location! Front windows have been shot out in past.

Sent in a request to see the gym and that’s where communication stops… general manager doesn’t respond to email after sending the original email to you, nobody picks up the phone on multiple calls, ring doorbell nobody answers door. Asked someone out front and it’s $60 a month. You should higher that man because he was more useful than any employee pf this location.

I’m sure someone will respond to this review quicker than they will the phone or doorbell

UPDATE: GM called me within minutes of this review. Told him I was no longer interested and hung up. The owner then called me within SECONDS from a different number. Told her I wasn’t still not interested as well and then she started rambling off sooooo I hung up again 🤷 I assume everyone that leaves a negative review is the ultimate bad guy/girl.

First time going to a out of state Anytime Fitness and I must say this is the cleanest one I have been to. I have been to a lot of them in Florida but this one is by far the cleanest.I don’t know if it alcohol or other cleaning products but you can smell it. Huh love it. Not to small nor to big. The thing I like about this one is you don’t see a BIG poster that’s right in your face once you come in on what you can and can’t do. I do recommend it.
Totally disappointing, I went at 10:35 today, Tuesday, April 16, and I rang the bell and no one answered me. What's more, they had given me an appointment to go see the gym and sign up and the schedule says 10 a.m. to 6 on Tuesday

Anytime Fitness has made working out a pleasure rather than a chore. The gym's layout is well designed and the equipment is modern and user friendly. The staff's encouragement and willingness to help have significantly boosted my motivation.
This has the ideal environment for my fitness routine. The gym is spacious, clean, and well-organized. What sets it apart is the staff genuinely cares about helping members reach their goals and create a positive gym experience.

You can't run out of toilet paper in your restrooms on the first day of a long weekend, leaving a sign saying y'all are taking the day off. Please make sure your guests have the bare minimum. Thank you.
The coaches are amazing and the tribe family is welcoming not to mention the workout are definitely challenging but doable .. glad to be apart of the tribe 🫶🏽💪🏽

I moved to NOLA recently. I have been looking for somewhere to work out since I moved. And a stumbled upon Fit Therapy on a walk, and decided to give it a go.

THIS IS NOT YOUR ORDINARY WORKOUT CLASS. They are small classes with 10-15 people - and the trainers personalize the work outs and they are actually fun. It’s not awkward, there is no one yelling at you through a microphone. It is perfect and my most favorite work out class I have found to date. The trainers really care about your personal growth and work with you to see that happen.

This is real resistance training. I have only been going for a week, and already SEE and FEEL a difference in my body.

The facility is clean and the machines are top of the line.

Big thanks to the Fit Therapy team for providing the best gym in the Big Easy!

Highly recommend, great attention to detail and can tell I am in good hands whenever I come to a class. Super humble studio, clean and comfortable atmosphere. Emile is super passionate about his work and is easily one of the best trainers I have ever had for a group class. He has created something special here and I would not pass up the opportunity to take a class here while it’s still a bit of a hidden gem

1st day there
Pros: does have a boxing bag with gloves and countdown timer for rounds.

Middle ground: good size gym with your typical workout machines.

Cons: DOES NOT HAVE A SHOWER ROOM

Been going here for years and it’s convenient, clean and members are great. Staff is accommodating and welcoming. Has most things needed and always open to suggestions. It’s good for my needs
I love it here! Coaches and even classmates are awesome and always help me when I need it. They even check in on me if I haven't been there in a few days, it's really good to have that accountability

Anytime Fitness is my fitness sanctuary. The 24/7 access allows me to tailor my workouts around my hectic schedule. The gym's cleanliness and well maintained equipment make every visit enjoyable.

This is not your standard Anytime Fitness.

Newly expanded space (and all CLEAN!) with new cardio & weight machines (great variety!) and an engaged, customer service-focused staff available to guide you as needed, plus 24/7 access.

Starts with a fitness evaluation to measure BMI/muscle/fat/metabolism baselines to help set your goals.
Monthly isn't cheap & you have to commit to a year to join. BUT, if you want to work-out on your own schedule (instead of classes or only with a trainer), this AF has some of the best equipment, staff, & vibe I've found in NOLA. (Their trainers seem great, too!)

Specific s/o to Sean!!! His genuine interest in understanding my goals to help me hit them, obvious expertise, professionalism, and friendly/ welcoming style, made joining an easy decision and re-motivated me to get back at it!!!!!

No more excuses!

Thanks Sean!!!!

If you’re looking for encouraging group classes to enhance your strength and are led by a great group of instructors, go to Fit Therapy! I was only in town for a month for work and from the get-go I was greeted and carefully walked through the equipment prior to my first class.

Emile’s Glute Therapy is a must! He ensures the proper set up and clear instruction for all exercises and especially takes time to help members of the class without taking away necessary class time. He has even built his own equipment to help supplement exercises, such as the reverse lunge, to activate the necessary muscles without sacrificing form.

I will definitely be attending again if I visit New Orleans!

One of the most unique gyms I’ve been to. Emile is super friendly and informative. There are different stations and you just go to whichever one and rotate. Emile made sure to check on everyone and assess their form, making adjustments that really made a huge difference. The gym is clean and the equipment is well cared for. You can tell this is his passion. Highly recommend!!

I’ve visited a lot of New Orleans gyms and this Anytime Fitness in the Garden District is by far the best club for the price in town 🙂
They have just the right equipment and I have personally seen their professional cleaning crew while I’ve done my Thursday early morning workouts. Check out all the photos here and then go see for yourself in person. Ask for Sean, the manager. He’s awesome!
Really enjoyed my drop in experience here. Good group of encouraging people and nice gym.

This gym is owned by predatory owners who are sending customers to collections fraudulently! Do not, under any circumstances, consider doing business with them. Please read my testimony below
-
On August 23, 2023, I visited Anytime Fitness to inquire about their membership plans. In the contracting manager's office (Anthony Fortier-Bensen), I was informed of a student discount, which offered 50% off the monthly fee with a $50 initial deposit. This information was provided to me on a paper contract, displaying the contract terms (6-month, 12-month, and 24-month) with their regular monthly fees and the discounted student rates. I chose the 2-year plan, which was listed at $44/month plus tax, with the student discounted rate of $22/month beside it. I opted for this contract term primarily because of the substantial discount. I initialed the paper next to my selected plan and signed the bottom of the agreement.

Subsequently, I was presented with an iPad to fill in my personal details. The manager informed me that I needed to sign up at the full rate on the iPad because their system couldn't adjust to the student rate immediately; however, it would be retroactively adjusted during billing. To confirm, I posed clarifying questions, ensuring I understood the monthly billing would indeed be $22, and received assurances confirming this.

After receiving my key fob, granting me gym access, I began using their services. To my dismay, one month later, the amount debited from my account was the full $44 plus tax, as per the electronic contract. I reached out via email, only to be informed there were no $22/month plans and that I must've been mistaken.

On September 21, 2023, I visited the gym and spoke to the contracting manager. He expressed surprise, insisting I was mistaken about the amount and claimed to have no memory of our prior conversation. I requested the paper contract I had signed initially, but he presented an assortment of unfamiliar forms, none being the one I had initialed and signed. They asserted no other forms existed and claimed they had never offered a plan for $22/month. Instead, they said the offer was to halve the initial deposit, which I hadn't received a credit for either. They agreed to credit this amount upon my request but expected me to honor the 2-year contract at $44/month plus tax. When I sought to cancel, given the discrepancy in the agreed amount, I was advised to return another day to "see what could be done." Frustrated, I left the key fob in their mailbox, which the contracting manager collected.

On October 23, 2023, I received an email from Jolie Bensen warning that if I defaulted on my 2-year contract, the full amount, totaling $1,074.00, would be sent to collections. In my subsequent email response, where I detailed the entire situation, they again denied ever offering the $22/month rate and expressed no intention of annulling the contract. They reiterated that the full amount would go to collections in 30 days. To add insult to injury, Jolie signed the email "Good Luck!" in response to my statement about seeking legal representation to clarify the matter.

After reading multiple reviews of them doing this to others, I am comforted to know I am not alone and simultaneously disgusted with this level of fraudulent behavior from people who claim to be "proud of their small business". Know your rights and do your due diligence.

It's smaller than some other Anytime's I've been to. Equipment is a bit old and worn-out. Women's restroom was not clean.

Cutest gem in New Orleans. Tarra's Body Pump class at Fit Therapy was truly exceptional. Her dedication to educating the class was evident, creating an atmosphere that left me amazed. She was remarkably attentive, making the overall experience both enjoyable and effective. As a bodybuilder, I entered Tarra's Body Pump class with skepticism, but I was blown away by the results. The pump I experienced was beyond my expectations. It was so effective that I ended up purchasing more classes without hesitation. Highly recommended for fellow fitness enthusiasts!
I have been with Iron Tribe NOLA for 8 years. 1 year as a coach and 7 as an athlete. Having been an employee and, I know first hand how much Iron Tribe invests in its coaches, so that they can deliver a first class experience to its athletes. I also love that the people I work out who were once strangers, I now consider family.
The team is wonderful. They are always inspiring and encouraging you to keep pushing. And they often workout during my time slots which is encouraging (and humbling Haha!). Coby, Melinda and Paige all kill it. As a former athlete, there’s a competitive edge to the workouts too that helps push you harder. And the workouts optimize the 45 minute window which works well for family and work life. Glad my wife signed me up.

Many types of cardio machines. Benches are never full. Lots of dumbbells. Friendly and helpful staff which includes owner on site!!
Overall solid gym. Replaced a couple machines lately which is nice. Even during peak hours (4-6pm) it is not too packed. Good value overall.
I own an outpatient physical therapy office across the street from The Parks, and they have been great about working with my patients after their discharge from physical therapy to continue their progress. Chris in particular is always willing to work with my patients to make sure they can make an easy transition from PT to the gym. Great place, great people. Highly recommend.

Incredible workouts! Supportive and friendly staff! Been going here for years and will continue to do so for a great workout in Nola!
Staff at this location are incredibly rude. Came in this afternoon at 4:45 to grab a quick shower before our next appointment. RAY decided he "didn't want to risk staying open past 5" and tried to refuse entry. We just wanted a towel to rinse off quickly. RAY then tried to tell us we were required to work out if we wanted to use the shower. Excuse me? Show me where it says in the membership agreement we're required to work out to use the facilities. If I want to go in and stretch out or sit in the sauna for a few minutes, as paying members, we're within our rights to do this. RAY was on a major power trip and tried to refuse entry just because he felt lazy. If this was a white manager refusing entry to a black kid, it would be front page news and this gym would be sued into bankruptcy. It is illegal to refuse entry to a paying member while you're still open. I have always been polite, clean, and never created an extra minute of work for anyone at this gym. Hostile staff like RAY who are on a power trip should find another job rather than hassling customers, otherwise, you will wind up in court.
Love this gym!! Chris and David are the best! Always attentive when anything needs to be addressed. Rose always keeps the gym clean for us. Highly recommend The Parks!!
Best gym ever! I’ve been a member for 2 years and I love the weekly group exercise classes that are taught by expert instructors. The hot sauna is great to use before or after a workout. There is also a huge variety of equipment, machines, and rooms to use.

The staff members are professional and friendly. The manager David is helpful and always available to answer any questions I have. The facilities are kept super clean. I highly recommend this gym!
Great gym! Friendly and knowledgeable staff and open 24/7 to members. All equipment is up to date and the bathrooms are very clean and have showers for after your workout. Highly recommend! 💪
Besides this place being an outdated dive. Even if you are not under contract they will not let you quit and keep charging you. Every time I call, I am told I will get a link right after the conversation that will direct me to quit. However, this link never comes through leading to more and more phone calls. Terrible establishment, terribly ran.

This location has a very special touch. The people that manage it are very personable. I feel that I can ask the manager anything and receive great feedback. If he can’t answer my questions he always goes to the next in charge to find out information for me. They also respond well to emails. The new renovation gives such an open and bright vibe which is very motivating and refreshing for my workout. I love when they post tips on their social media and feel that they are always updating me on current gym info there. I am so glad that I found this gym. Thank you for your commitment to help me grow in my health journey!

I've been a member of SimplyFit Gym for about ten months now and it's been such a positive experience from day one. The owners, Hudson and Billy, are there often training people and they are always incredibly friendly and welcoming. Whether you need guidance on your form, advice on different workouts to try, or just a boost of motivation - they're there to help. Their passion for fitness shows and they help to create a motivating and inclusive atmosphere.

The gym itself is always clean. There are fresh towels always available and the women's locker room is spotless and well-stocked with toiletries. SimplyFit has a variety of machines that are well-maintained and they cater to all fitness levels. I never feel like I have to wait for a machine to open up either. It's also open 24/7, which is super helpful for my busy work schedule.

If you're looking for a gym with approachable owners, a clean environment, well-kept machines, and round-the-clock access, Simply Fit is the place to be. It's been a game-changer for my fitness journey!

Such a lovely family owned gym! It has everything you would need and is never too crowded. The owner, Hudson, is incredibly helpful and nice. He really makes it a non-intimidating environment as gyms can sometimes be. Super easy to sign up online and the rates are the most reasonable in the area. Also has month to month membership which is super helpful if you’re not in the area for that long. The women’s locker room even has free toiletries which I always appreciate. Very happy I found this gem!
Loved my experience here at this gym. However, I've had the worst experience with the managing company. I am forced to relocate across the country and the company won't cancel my gym membership. Due to circumstances out of my control, I am still expected to pay for a membership I won't be able to use. They're expecting me to pay until the end of the year, despite not having a gym at my new location. I was told by the gym staff to call the customer service number, in which they told me that the gym staff didn't want to tell me in person that there wasn't a cancellation policy. This felt disrespectful. I don't recommend this place at all.
The coaches of Iron Tribe NOLA are knowledgeable, encouraging, and involved to help everyone improve on movements and to accomplish other goals. It’s a friendly community as well, with everyone pulling for one another. I genuinely enjoy going to work out every day.
The club is clean and well equipped. One of the four AC units has been out of service for 2 months with no idea when it will be repaired. I ask the manager David "when the AC would be repaired" he responded with a caustic response "that it's a Parks problem". His caustic response, as the manager of the Parks, was enough for me to walk away and end the conversation. I have been a member for over 2 years and have never been treated with such disrespect by a manager of a health club.
Absolutely the best gym ever the equipment is very sophisticated. The gym it’s super clean. Staff is accommodating highly recommended!!
I’ve been an on again/ off again member at this location since about 2008. Recently joined again in 2023 after moving back to NOLA, and was pretty disappointed to see it looks exactly the same, just significantly more worn down. Definitely feels outdated and unclean.

And I’ve noticed the weird smell that other reviews have mentioned. It’s very off putting.

Staff has been fine from what I’ve seen, but there’s little they can do to counteract the fact that this location is in desperate need of an overhaul.
Great gym for folks visiting New Orleans, came here a few times during a work trip. Passes are affordable, there are plenty of lockers, and the space is well maintained and clean.

My friend and I came to Fit Therapy while we were visiting New Orleans and we had a wonderful workout. We did glute therapy with Emile and had such a great time. It is very challenging and we definitely worked up a sweat. I really appreciated that Emile met with us before the class to go over some of the equipment and give us tips on how to be successful. He also checked in with us the entire time to make sure we were comfortable and doing the movements correctly. There were different levels of experience at the class so you can go at your own pace if youare a beginner or ratchet it up if you want more of a challenge. Overall, a very positive experience. We’ll definitely be coming back.
Nope. No Variety. Hahaha and I LOVE Everyone’s Review! ESPECIALLY Mr. Nguyen! Brilliant! Even the Owner Admits there Trash! Equipment. Bench press is a Death Trap. Lacks Basic incremental weights. Lacking it All! ONE stationary Bicycle with back rest. ONE. Like that’s my Jam. I just Can’t. Place is Incompetent to Customer Service.
Worked out here twice while in town for a few days. The Parks is a clean and well kept gym with adequate free weights and plenty of machines, treadmills, staircases, etc.

I particularly appreciated the ample amount of TRX/pull up bar combos that enabled me to keep to my scheduled workout.

I will return here repeatedly whenever I'm in town.
Iron tribe is where it’s at. Group fitness workouts with all levels of experience and fitness. The coaches are knowledgeable and care about your fitness and body goals, and they make you feel like you belong. Definitely give it a shot
Nice owners, the only thing is that if you are highly sensitive, this may not be your gym. There are 4 speakers at a very high volume competing with one another in a small space.

The workouts are nice, you watch the screen for your set just like youtube's fitness blender and the (coach?) will perform it for you as you watch on the screen.

I think it is a very easy concept of circut training and challenging which was great just did not get a community feeling there and left because of the language and volume of the music (it sent me to panic, when asked to lower it was half a notch). Again, super nice concept but hard if you experience a diversity in sensory perceptions.

Brilliant place to workout! Large variety of equipment, open 24/7, and overall clean and well-maintained facility + friendly staff and members! Conveniently located next to the St. Charles streetcar route so you can hit it before or after work if you’re along that route! Thankful for the experience!
I’ve really enjoyed working out at F45 in the CBD. The coaches have been wonderful — providing feedback and guidance but also leaving room for autonomy and modifications. The gym is always clean and well-kept. The staff has been helpful and kind in all of my interactions.

Wanted to like this gym, but did not. Not enough machines and cardio equipment. Also members just left medicine balls and free weights all over the floor and don’t pick up after themselves. Will be returning back to Anytime

I'm bad about names, but the staff was very helpful & accommodating. I wasn't expecting to be here long enough to get a 2nd workout in, but here I am. I LOVE the old school Nautilus pullover machine, maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it's that I'm super close to being able to do the entire stack, either way, it's one of the most underrated & effective back exercises. I'm trying to start doing a different workout style with High Intensity Training, Mike Mentzer Rest Pause approach, & it requires assistance from either a training partner, friendly gym goer, or staff.

Staff & a friendly gym goer hooked me up today so I could hit the negative repetitions on the pullover machine. The gym is clean, it has everything you would need to get a good workout in. They also took care of me with a reduced rate as a veteran, that's always appreciated, especially with our current economy.

Good to have options for when I come to town, glad I shopped around to find a spot close to everything with good folks working & working out there!
Great facility and really nice staff. Came in for a workout while visiting New Orleans. Gym was clean and well managed, everyone super respectful and kind. Definitely recommend if you’re in New Orleans.
I spoke to Rose at the front desk to inquire about a day pass. Rose was incredible she showed me around the gym and had incredible communication skills. I told Rose i just opened my own business as a Life Coach. She asked about my business and thought it would be great for me to have a booth in their lobby to talk about my services related to food sensitivities and healthy eating. I enjoyed my workout the 1st day. As I was leaving Rose invited me to work out the next day as well to really get a feel for the gym. I received a text from the Chris who said if I was interested in a membership to give him a call. The following day I worked out and loved they have a Jacob's ladder which is ergonomically correct they also have the stair machine however it hurts my knees due to the incorrect positioning of the body on the machine. I also loved the arch running machine. I was disappointed they did not have monkey bars and also disappointed they had a bucket in the middle of the gym and some equipment was damaged like the strap of the bike. I went upfront to speak with Chris about a membership when another gentleman said he would speak to me. I told him i had started my own Life Coaching business. I asked questions which he replied We don't do that here. He was inflexible. I didn't want to have to deal with his personality so I am looking elsewhere. He really lacks skills...
Awesome community, friendly and open members that create a welcoming and encouraging environment! New owner Cassie is doing a great job! The workouts are varied, interesting, and challenging, of course, in F45 manner.
Left this gym due to constant pestering to do a “fitness consultation” with them. Emails, texts, calls and even approaching me during my workouts to do one. One woman (I think the owner/manager?) was straight up abhorrent about it.

She told me she wanted to be sure I was reaching my goals. Apparently to her, I wasn’t showing enough improvement after coming in regularly for months. I mean, I wasn’t losing weight, so I guess she gave herself permission to comment on my body that was evidently not improving. I'm assuming she meant because I wasn't losing weight.

I’m disabled. It might shock some people to know that not everyone is exercising to lose weight/have an acceptable looking body. Exercising regularly IS my goal. Apparently that’s not good enough for her or this was some weird manipulation to try and up-sell me something. It felt like an attempt to body shame me into buying something.

Disabled folks are accustom to some level of able-ism everywhere, but I can’t imagine anyone in the world wanting to be sold something while they’re working out. And then again via email, text and phone. And then feeling like someone is watching you in the gym to "make sure you're progressing".

Super gross and invasive. I joined a gym, not hired someone to nag and shame me. It’s vulnerable enough being in the gym. Just leave me alone.

It was bizarre, off-putting and I feel much safer and better going to the Canal St and Bywater locations. I go in, workout, and leave. Seems simple, right?

I’m leaving this review as anonymously as possible because I wouldn’t be surprised if this lady tried to reach out AGAIN about the consultation or to get me to amend this review.
Mid, I’d like to say I’m a connoisseur of anytime fitness gyms as I have been to quite a few across these 50 United States. This one was a hard no after a few attempts at a good leg pump tonight. Most of the equipment Is dilapidated and archaic especially the leg machines and squat racks.The water from the fountain tasted like ethanol but I’ll put that blame on the city. The low ceilings gave me a a fight club vibe and I will say the lighting was pretty good but the full body mirror in the male shower has horrible lighting preventing me from mirin my non-existent leg pump. The poster board which is intended to be plastered with motivating quotes and local business ads was empty, do better.
I've been working out for 20 years. This is the most fun and impactful workouts I've ever done.

Really nice gym! I was in town for a week so their pass system is great. The equipment is old fashion but really
complete (better than many gyms), lots of space and weights, never crowed. The staff are super friendly, will definitely return when I come again in Nola!!

I felt welcomed the first day I walked in. The staff is experienced and they offer a variety of workouts. The classes are small and the gym is clean. After a month here, I can’t say enough wonderful things about this gym. It has made me enjoy working out again and I’m forever grateful.
I started training with Eric last year and he has changed my life. I feel so much healthier, stronger, and happier. Eric is professional, knowledgeable, patient, and super accepting. Whether you're just starting out or have been exercising for years, Eric has a ton to offer you. He works with you to achieve your goals, supporting you all the way.

I found Pro Finess Trainers (Eric Capers) four years ago, and it changed my life. Arthritis in my knees had been getting worse for a long time, and my doctors just said I should walk more. Eric is a physical therapist as well as a personal trainer, and we started working on my strength and mobility - baby steps because I was so out of shape. Over time, I started to lose weight, regained my balance, and got so much stronger that after the first year I was able to walk in the Saints Kickoff 5k race. I could not believe it!
After two years I'd lost 40 pounds (slowly - I'm not into crash dieting- just adding healthy foods and reducing bad stuff), and felt like a pro in the gym.
Pro Fitness Trainers offers a free assessment to give you an idea of where you are, and there's a free bootcamp on Saturday mornings in the park.
If you're having trouble finding a trainer who you can trust, and who can really make a difference in your life, give Eric a call. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
P.S. I just turned 75!

I had a checklist when searching for a new gym and Simply Fit met all of my boxes. They have 24 hour access, a variety of equipment, easy access to parking, showers, and most of all a great vibe. I was able to sign up on pay for my access on the website. They sent me an app to download that works as my key to get in after hours. The staff and patrons are extremely kind as well as respectful. I look forward to a long term relationship with this establishment.
I have been a member here for three years and love this gym. I had never done barbell lifting before I joined, and it’s been great to learn and improve in a really encouraging environment. My regular class is full of fun people that I am excited to see each day, and we are all happy to celebrate each other’s achievements. The coaches are always helpful and friendly to everyone, regardless of ability, age, or skill level. I feel very lucky to have found Iron Tribe—it is exactly the kind of place that appeals to me!
Love the space, music and equipment. Definitely not an intimidating place. They validate parking for a cheaper rate. Dana and Paul at the front desk are very nice. And I bought a t-shirt today and the material is phenomenal!
As you can see members and guests are getting in a workout on Fridaynight Feb 4th 2022 ⚜️💪🏋️- Has everything you need to work out.
The coaches at F45 Nola CBD have been great! They are very knowledgeable & keep you motivated. While in class they pump you up to get the reps in till the end of each set. Not only are they professional but also a very fun team. They make you feel welcomed and comfortable no matter where your fitness level is. It’s easier to get through a tough workout having fun and laughing along the way. Enjoying the workout surely motivates me to keep coming back & the results of course. I highly recommend you to check out a class & I promise you won’t be disappointed!
F45-CBD is the best thing to come out of 2020! I’ve been a member since July and my body has completely transformed. I’ve lost weight, gotten stronger, and increased my stamina tremendously. The workouts are always different and challenging, and you can adjust each exercise to your own abilities. The gym is always kept clean and cleaning is prioritized throughout the workouts. The trainers/owners, Alissia & Bryant, are absolutely incredible! They are motivating, professional, helpful, & welcoming! They take the time to get to know the members’ individual goals & needs and will help modify your workouts accordingly. I love this place and have nothing but good things to say!
Best workout in New Orleans! I have tried all the gyms and studios in NOLA and F45 HIIT classes and the facility’s are the best (and cleanest). All the members are super positive and the energy is great. Bryant & Alissia are the owners + trainers and they are so knowledgeable and encouraging. F45 is worth every penny! 💪🏼
I’ve never liked working out until I walked into F45(CBD location) July 2020 and was warmly welcomed by the owners, Bryant & Alissia. I was so nervous and intimidated because I was severely out of shape and over weight but they encouraged me every step of the way. Although we were in the middle of a horrible pandemic and I had major concerns regarding cleanliness of gyms, I was quickly impressed on how everything (equipment) was sanitized and social distancing guidelines were in place. I’ve now been a active member for about 3 months and I go at least 4x’s a week! That’s a major accomplishment for me. I just love the community, challenging exercises, and knowledgeable trainers. Life changing decision joining F45 and I’m so happy to continue on this fitness journey . Thank you Bryant & Alissia!!!

I started training with Eric and Pro Fitness Trainers in June 2020 in preparation for my wedding in October. In addition to wanting to look great in my wedding dress, I also had a goal to learn to lift weights safely.

Eric is an incredibly motivating trainer that genuinely invests in his clients. His training sessions are informative, challenging, and worthwhile. I’ve seen so much progress in terms of how I feel, the way I look, and my own personal strength. He pushes me to be better every session and I am truly loving the results.

I also wanted to note that Eric’s prices are very affordable and he offers free a bootcamp class every Saturday morning at the Fly. If you have goals you want to achieve whether that be strength training, stamina, or just making the switch to a healthier lifestyle, I highly recommend taking a free fitness assessment with Eric and starting your journey with Pro Fitness Trainers! 10 out of 5 stars ⭐️

Better than nothing. After LSU won the national championship, this gym is quiet. There were a few ambulanves passing by coming from the downtown area. Anyway you can see that off this street by tchoupitoulas street. Basically this is a good location. The gym has decent equpiment for a party town and it appears clean. A
From what I can tell, This is an older location, but still one of the better locations in NOLA. The equipment is nautilus, which is older but different from other locations. They do have alot of precor cardio equipment and glute machine. They have multiple sets of dumbells and kettlebells. In terms of square footage its also a larger location then others. Its also at an easy to find location in NoLa at Tobert E Lee and west end.

This anytime is smaller then some of the others in New Orleans. If its not too crowded, then Its ok. it also has tanning beds. The gym has full service cardio equipment and a good number of nautilus machines. They have cages with bumber plates for olympic lifts. its good for a smaller number of people . the dumbells 9nly go to 100, so your pressing options will be limited. otherwise good
Great challenging classes, knowledgeable coaches. Jay has years of experience. He bring a lot of his knowledge and experience to provide active and productive practices. Each class is pre-planned and he dives into the work without wasting a second. At the end you'll feel accomplished. He modifies the moves to suit your needs and abilities. Souvy also is a great coach with a lot of attention to the details. He rolls with the class. Pays attention to the response of the class to each move and modifies the move if necessary to fit the class and prevent any injury. His boxing cardio class is awesome. You won't believe how much calories you have burned after the class.
The environment is so friendly. Nobody expects you to be a pro. You can be a newbie and start here without feeling embarrassed.
First, I being in the service, and the day filling Veteranbs’ day, asked for a discount. No! I was charged $16 for my entrance... Then, the owner was rude to a Latino family and perspective customers; because, they had children, stating “I will call security.” Then, the machines are from 1980’s, a few not denoting the weights of each plate. One pin came off in my hand; whereas, the owner jokingly stated, “ you broke it...” I promptly mentioned the apoxy remaining on the previously broken pin. The establishment is a dated cash cow for the hotels in the area. It’s most marketable attribute is it provides day passes, and many of its competition does not. When I said I would be posting this reference, the owner demanded I leave immediately. He did give me a refund.

this may be a small studio in size and it can get packed at some classes, but the workouts rock...super motivated krewe, great coaches and sweat crushing routines...from the TRX Circuits to the METCONS and some 20/20/20 you cant go wrong....I tell everyone to go try it.
The studio is small, clean, and the size keeps the class capacity low as well, which I like. They have a variety of classes and class times. I can go every day and do something different. The owner, J, is very nice and makes a point to speak with the members when they are in for class. I’ve tried other studios in the area and I like this one the best!
Small, family-owned gym that proves you don't have to be a huge chain in a massive warehouse to to get a complete, varied workout. The main workout floor is not large, but it had a full array of cardio equipment, from bikes to elliptical machines, varied weight machines and a large free weight area. Clean, quiet, 24 hour access. Locker rooms/shower areas have full amenities, and are very clean. Rates are extremely reasonable, no hard sell, easy to join.

Freestyle Friday was an awesome workout!! The instructor was fantastic and he paid special attention to me because he knew that it was my first time at Zone FitNola. He also asked me when I arrived what my current exercise level was. Therefore, he also knew that this was my first time getting back into any sort ofexercise in over a year and a half. He checked on me regularly throughout the circuit, providing extra explanation and modifications when necessary. I was verynervous that I would feel out of place during this workout, but on the contrary, I felt totally comfortable. The workout in itself was fun, challenging, andfilled with variety. I will definitely be back for this class and to try others! Another awesome perk - they did a complimentary full body scan using Fit3D which took only a few minutes and sent me an in depth report of my individual body shape, body composition, and fitness level. So cool and helpful!!!

Love working out with J! The studio is clean, and easy to get to. The workout style improves your fitness level and really pushes you, but accommodations can always be made. Definitely recommend going a couple of times to get a feel for it.

I love this gym! It’s 24/7 access, always clean, and has great pricing options. It’s in a well-lit area of Prytania, which makes me feel safe when I’m walking there late at night. I’d highly recommend it for anyone, especially women who don’t want to workout/run outside at night. I am there alone occasionally, but always feel secure even without a desk attendant because the door auto-locks and the other patrons are respectful from my experiences.

LOVE the gym! As the manager, everyone has different needs so not everyone will be happy with everything a gym has to offer. We are proud to be the ONLY 24 hour gym uptown, with over 20 cardio machines, a new glutes machines, TRX and a boxing room...... hope you'll enjoy it too!
Under new ownership. Car jacking in the parking Lot recently. Very limited equipment, my wife hates how it smells. I could list dozens of problems, however it’s open 24 hr and 3 min from my house.
The Canal St location is super nice. Today they built this strange “outhouse looking” room in the middle of the free weight area. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️😢🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ The local lady’s who run the gym day to day are very nice, but they have limited resources from the higher up’s.
