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...)

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).

Great service. Great vibes…read more Great crowd. Who couldn't want more!? The ambiance is kind of bait and switch. It looks sooooo upscale & a little intimidating. But it just looks really nicely decorated because it's classy. I attended the world-renowned Drag Brunch & sat at the bar. Before hand they do ask that you pay $25 to reserve your spot, it goes towards bill. They refund it if you cancel within 24 hours. They WILL call & text to comfirm you're still attending. They are really big on confirmations & logistics. They are super duper organized. (Idk why but I always worry dinner shows are always so rushed and disorganized from prior experiences.) I love that they can handle large & small groups. They def know how to work the room. I love how organized and professional they all are. Some busy places can't do that. Ya'll i didn't know they had pool! For $20 you could be swimming in the pool area. Kicking it! You get to have option of ordering off brunch or dinner menu over there. Would def recommend for change of scenery. I tried the Crab cheesecake. It was so good! I wasn't expecting it to be. I saw it and was like what the heck, why not. No other people on Yelp took a picture or probably ordered it. It was such & creamy with fresh lump crabmeat. (Imagine a cream cheese seafood stuffed pepper minus the pepper.) it had some sauce with it that really paired well with it. That mimosa I had was strong. I watched them make them, soooooo yes. Lol they know what they're doing. Loved the airline ice breaker bit. Too cute. All strutted out looking more fierce than a peacock. 0 complaints. [insert z snap] Will be back next time I visit the area!

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.

Dear Academy Management,…read more I am writing to formally express my deep concerns regarding the tennis training program that my daughter and I participated in at the Abrie Duplooy Tennis Academy from March 2024 through March 2025. At the outset, we entered into a verbal agreement that included the following services each week: * One weekly lesson with Coach Abrie Duplooy * One weekly lesson with Coach Marshall * Two weekly hitting sessions with college-level athletes Unfortunately, the actual experience fell far short of these expectations. After only nine lessons, Coach Abrie abruptly stopped communicating and ceased attending our sessions as of September 2024. Despite repeated inquiries, we received no explanation--other than Coach Li vaguely referencing an undisclosed personal health issue. Given that I paid $13,790 for the program, I believe I was entitled to timely, transparent communication and a proper explanation of his permanent departure from our training plan. Also when I enrolled in the program, I was assured that the academy would be flexible with scheduling to accommodate our frequent travel needs. In addition, we encountered persistent issues with coaching quality and consistency. Many lessons were conducted by individuals who appeared to lack proper coaching credentials. Several were student players, not professional coaches. In particular, I recall sessions with Coach Harold, Kike, and Isaac. If these individuals are indeed qualified, I would appreciate it if you could provide documentation of their coaching certifications. The inconsistency in instruction made it difficult for my daughter to progress and significantly diminished the value of the program. We also experienced challenges regarding equipment. Despite repeated requests, my daughter was not provided with green-dot balls, which are developmentally appropriate for her level. Instead, standard yellow balls were used, which caused frustration and unnecessary stress for her during training. Our concerns escalated when, after expressing the need to replace a particular student coach and reiterating the request for the proper training balls, we were unexpectedly disinvited from the Florida summer camp. Compounding this, I had raised concerns about your original plan to house arrangement to house teenage boys and girls together during the Florida camp, which I found inappropriate and troubling. Rather than initiating a constructive dialogue, we were simply told that my daughter was "not ready" for the trip. When we attempted to schedule lessons last week, the response we received was: "Hi Arlene. Thank you for the feedback. Appreciate it. Based on all the above mentioned, we think Solara is not ready for the Florida trip this year. We are happy to have you and Solara next year when she is more ready. Please provide a method of payment, so I can give you the full refund for this trip. We wish you and your family have a wonderful summer break." The tone of "Have a wonderful summer break," paired with the decision to exclude us from the trip, felt dismissive--especially since you were aware of our relocation in May. I am formally requesting that a member of the academy's leadership reach out to us to arrange an in-person meeting so that we may resolve this matter constructively. Additionally, I am requesting a written explanation and a formal apology for the academy's failure to uphold the agreed-upon terms of our program. We trusted the academy to support our daughter's development in a respectful, structured environment. Unfortunately, our experience fell short of that standard. I hope the academy takes this feedback seriously and takes steps to ensure future students and families are treated with the professionalism, fairness, and respect they deserve. Thank you for your attention. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Arlene Chung

The summer turned into the school year and they go to Abrie's clinics almost every day. His coaches are the best around. My kids like the high intensity levels of practices and lessons.

When we see other players at tournaments, we all talk and support each other.

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.

The recreational director Eric will ignore your concerns and not even provide you with the dignity of a response. 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?
