I first heard about Big Easy sportsplex from a coworker that was working at Big Easy…read moresimultaneously. I'm not sure if he still works here, but Brandon Rousseve is definitely an amazing personal trainer and baseball player! Anyway, I've been wanting to check it out since about 2011 when I heard the jaw-dropping words "indoor batting cages." What could be better than an indoor place to play your favorite sports during our hot and humid summers? Of course, it would be even better if I had come when I could actually PLAY one of these sports; unfortunately, my injured wrist won't be permitting that anytime soon. Besides batting cages they have a baseball diamond, basketball courts, an indoor volleyball court, free weights, and a concession stand just to name a few things. From what I can see, it looks like they have some weight machines on the second floor. I'm guessing this might come with one of their fitness packages. Big Easy Sportsplex is definitely one of New Orleans' hidden gems. It's a great play to play indoors with a very fair price that won't break the bank. Thank you to the person who decided to create this great place! I can't wait to come enjoy it when my wrist is healed. In the meantime, I'll sit back, drink my icee, and watch my friends. I met Josh Tolbert towards the end of the night, and he gave me a mini tour. Thanks, Josh!

I love WAKA and would highly recommend it to all young adults (21+) in New Orleans! Whether you're…read morejust moving to New Orleans or have been living here for years, WAKA makes it easy to meet new people and gets you involved in new activities. I've tried both kickball and dodgeball and have had a ton of fun playing both and have met great new people! There are kickball leagues for all levels (some nights are more competitive than others) but if you contact the franchise owner Sean he will be happy to help you find the right league for you! My favorite thing about WAKA is the community feel. Everyone will play games at the field and then there is a league bar where everyone goes after and hangs out. The leagues vary but some have flip cup games going on, dodgeball has a variety of bar games (pool, air hockey, beer pong, etc.), and all of them have a keg for the WAKA players. The leagues cost about $69 for the season but it comes with a free shirt and free beer at the bar. Just a tip: most of the teams are established so I recommend joining with a friend or 2 or creating your own team! If you join with a friend you can request for them to be put on the same team as you. I highly recommend WAKA New Orleans for all of your adult entertainment needs (but not those needs...)

This gym is fantastic! The first test of fitness is getting through the front door because that…read moredarn door takes so much force to push through! Anyways, once you are past that, it feels like stepping back in time--but with upgraded amenities and machines, of course. But I just absolutely adore the historic atmosphere. There are antique weights in a mini-museum in one of the large fitness rooms, the walls lined with vintage gym bro photos (I didn't see any muscle mamis tho...), and even a crystal chandelier! But like I mentioned, the amenities are all updated. There's a good-sized pool, both a sauna and steam room, and a nice sized locker room. The locker room has a bathing suit dryer! My favorite surprise was the cafe/lounge/bar area that's suitable for working, studying, reading, etc. They even have a women-only machine room--love that thoughtful, inclusive touch. You know what New Orleans doesn't have enough of? Tracks. Luckily, NOAC has an indoor track for those who don't like treadmills. They also have a jam-packed group fitness schedule that included improv and acting classes on Wednesday nights--where else do you find that at a gym?! It's probably an extra fee though. They have a Pilates reformer studio that isn't included in membership, apparently. Although it's in the quarter/downtown, they have plenty of nearby parking lots for members. I came on a buddy pass (you only get 6 a year), but my friend mentioned that members can bring their spouses for free on weekends. Only small downside: towels cost $1.50, but honestly, just bring your own. I am so tempted to join!

From the second you walk in, it feels like old-school charm meets modern-day motivation. The building itself is gorgeous -- think chandeliers, brick walls, and history dripping from every dumbbell. The weight room? Massive. The cardio section? Plenty of options. The pool? Stunning and feels like something Gatsby would've done laps in. And don't even get me started on the boxing ring -- I half-expected to see Rocky training in the corner. There's even a Turkish bath. Yes, a Turkish bath -- where else are you gonna find that? The people were super friendly, and there was this kind of unspoken camaraderie in the air -- everyone's working hard but also vibing with the beauty of the space. I got a killer workout and a mini history tour all in one. If you're in New Orleans and want to sweat in style -- this is the spot. 10/10 will be back (probably sore but smiling).

They have shows every weekend, and it really turns brunch into a whole experience. The brunch itself was really good too. Amazing service, There's a solid variety of dishes--from classic options like chicken and waffles to more New Orleans-style plates like shrimp & grits--so there's something for everyone. Overall, it's a perfect mix of good food, fun vibes, and great performances. Definitely a must if you're in New Orleans and want something a little different for brunch!

This was a fun time, but definitely had room for improvement. The building is an old house and the…read moredining rooms are spread out between rooms in the house. This means that they can't perform for all customers at once, which is fine. BUT, they had 3 performers, and I think they could have had 2 performers going at the same time to get more coverage between rooms. Or, get more performers. Honestly, the show needed a little more variety. One of the servers said he had auditioned as a dancer but they didn't have a spot, but I would argue they very much do. It would have been nice to see more than 3 performers. They do give change, so if you're worried about getting cash from an ATM or that you only have big bills, worry no more! They have a guy that goes around at the start of the show and gives change. Service was good, mimosa ratios were great. Food was also good. We had the pork chops, crab curry bisque, and truffle mac and cheese. All were great, especially the crab curry bisque. I'm not sure how you get bar seats, but that seemed like the place to be. It's where all the performers seemed to start and had the best view.

Why should you choose the Abrie du Plooy Tennis Academy? The bottom line is...THEY TRAIN WINNERS…read more If you are serious about your children's tennis goals, this is hands down the best junior tennis academy in the area that trains high performance players and properly prepares them for tournament level play. All you have to do is look at the academy students to see they are highly ranked in both UTR and USTA and consistently win tournaments. 20% of the current top 8 players in the 14U, 16U, and 18U USTA divisions in the entire state of Louisiana are from Abrie du Plooy Tennis Academy...and that's pretty impressive. We've personally had experience with junior tennis programs in two different country clubs and a major health club. While they all have good intentions, they primarily cater to member satisfaction and not the long-term goals of junior tennis players. If you want your kids to just have fun or give them something to do, then the club scenario would be the best choice. But if you want your kids to train with the best, excel at tennis, and meet long-term college and beyond goals, they have to train with like-minded players that are serious and with coaches who know how to produce winners. ADP Tennis Academy trains junior tennis players to win and trains them hard. I can now definitely see the difference between a "club" player and an "ADP academy player" when on the court. The reason we joined Abrie du Plooy Tennis Academy is because there were a handful of players my boys just couldn't beat and these same players were always winning the local tournaments. Guess where every single one of them trained at? Abrie du Plooy Tennis Academy. Before joining ADP Tennis Academy, my boys tennis training and rankings were stagnant and despite spending a lot of time and money, they were not improving. Once we joined ADP Tennis Academy, everything changed. In just 4 months' time, my boys UTR rankings have increased from 2.91 to 4.27 and 2.38 to 3.46. Their USTA rankings have gone from #29 to #15 and #59 to #6 in the state. I have no doubt we made the right decision moving to Abrie and the ADP Tennis Academy and I can't wait to see how far they will go.

Very disappointing and unprofessional tournament experience hosted by Abrie Du Plooy Tennis…read moreAcademy. Due to rain, the tournament was moved from Saturday to Sunday at the last minute. Before continuing to participate, we clearly informed the organizer that our child had a performance at 3 PM and that we needed to leave around 2 PM. We specifically asked whether an earlier match start would be allowed if courts became available, and we were told yes. On tournament day, our child finished the first match around 11:30, the next opponent finished around 12:00, and both players agreed to start early around 12:25 instead of waiting until 1:00. This still allowed about 25 minutes of rest between matches, which is very common in junior tournaments when both players agree and simply take a short break and eat something. However, right before the match was supposed to begin, the organizer Ms. Li suddenly reversed the decision and refused to let the match start, despite previously approving the arrangement. As a result, the match did not begin until 1 PM and finished close to 3 PM. This seriously affected our child's scheduled performance afterward and created tremendous stress and anxiety for our family during the match. Since the match had already started, our child was also placed in the difficult position of being unable to withdraw midway without being forced to take a loss. What made this experience especially disappointing was that in many previous junior tournaments, similar arrangements between players were handled flexibly and professionally without issue. Unfortunately, this situation gave us the strong impression that our family was not being treated fairly or consistently. The issue was not the schedule change itself, but the lack of professionalism, inconsistent communication, and disregard for commitments that had already been agreed upon.

I signed my daughter up for the "Sparks" program, which is made up of 3 & 4 year olds. I'm pretty sure this is the only NOLA soccer club to have anything for these little ones, hence the HUGE demand. In Kenner, we have about 40 kids in my daughter's program. They practice once a week for an hour. It can be a little bit disorganized, since there are 3-4 coaches for a huge number of kids (plus a few volunteer parents), but the kids enjoy it. I definitely get the feeling that the coaches are passionate about the game, and they care about the kiddos. Overall, I recommend this to any parent looking to get their son/daughter involved in an activity.

How is placing a first time playing, 8 year old, 42 lb girl on a team with experienced 9 1/2, 70 lb boys, instead of other 8 year old girls a good idea? Well tough, because she's born at the end of the year, so she plays up. So a calendar controls over actual experience, and the end result is resentment, and little practice and development, because the volunteer coach needs to focus on the more experienced boys. And this is supposed to be recreational and designed to develop a lifetime affinity for soccer! Did I mention the director ignores you when you bring these concerns to his attention?
