After talking with Tonya, one of the Studio Red Coaches, I gathered my courage and girded my big boy pants to give it a try. I wasn't feeling 100% when I came in (up late, dogs up early wanting to play on me), but when the 50 minutes were up, my body was tired in a good way, and my brain was ready for more. Tonya showed how to perform the exercises and gave modifications, and kept the class going, spending time with each of us. The three free classes a month seems to be a little used benefit that I will be taking advantage of more often.

Love this gym. Very spacious, a lot of machines, and very clean. I train here at 3-4 times a week.read more

Like any gym, there a guys who spend their time either staring at themselves in a mirror or at women on the hip abductor machines and women who curl their hair and wear a full face of makeup while "stretching" for an hour by the free weights, but over all the people using this gym are friendly and there to get in shape.

I tried to cancel my memebership after 3 months of going there and their online portal is BROKEN. It will not even let me access it.

After skating for a while a gentlemen came out and told us that we needed helmets and need to fill out some paper work, so we heading inside to find they had a con session stand basketball courts, weight rooms, a swim pool and much much more. Outside of here they have soccer fields and other sports fields. I recommend anyone in this area that is looking for fun or faith, they should check out this places website and see all they have to offer, they have memberships for everything inside, but it's free to skate at there skate park.

This gym has regular people, high level high school kids, college kids playing sports or mature adults that can afford personal trainers, this is not the typical meat-head jacked up jerks walking around flexing in the mirrors. If you are looking for the cheapest, flavor of the month gym this is not your place (a new one just opened up). If you want personal help achieving your goals, great option. If you want to work out by yourself, it is almost a private gym where you have access to everything all the time. Brian has been great for the 9 months I have been here. Personal trainer has exceeded expectations. I could not recommend a better place, they will schedule a free initial session and there is no high pressure sales pitch when I joined.

Its been my honor and privilege to be a part of Absolute U Fitness for over 5 years, and have always seen the upmost professionalism in all who work there. The trainers go above and beyond to help all their clients. Each person is treated with respect and trained to the expectations that they have set with their PT. Your post indicates you know nothing of each individuals life style, their training habits or what their goals are. You're insulting those who have benifitted from the trainers expertise and help. People lives have been saved by the people you have insulted in your uninformed rating. Have you even trained with any of the trainers who represent Absolute? I think not. If you're looking for a place to learn a better, healthier lifestyle you will get nothing less than perfection from the professional personal trainers at Absolute u fitness.

BUYER BEWARE!! Many people write reviews to complain and…read morearen't fair in their assessment. I'll keep this fair. GOOD: For Lafayette, the gym is decent in size, offerings (free weights, cardio, machines), and classes. The location and 24 hour schedule are very convenient. If you have kids, they have a great day care that's a moderately fair price. The bathrooms are not dirty. BAD #1: Owner-operator is very involved and ever present; he's not very personable or approachable (one of those grumpy types with zero sense of humor). He tries saving pennies with things like watering down the soap and turning off cooling feature on water fountains. If a woman get pregnant and cannot lift during last 5 months of pregnancy... forget it - he will do nothing for you. The gym is a significantly overpriced for how small it is. BAD #2: Backstory: the biggest gym in Lafayette closed in 2015 on US 26. I found Southside Fitness and so did many of the other weight/power lifters from the closed gym. One by one, they all left - and I mean all. Two told me they had payment issues with the owner and others mentioned non money-related issues with the owner. I found this weird as I've never had an issue at any of my gyms. At the time, I thought those guys were being unreasonable. 18 months after signing up... I found that it was not the said (former) members who were unreasonable. Long story short, the owner likes to have a "Planet Fitness Crowd." So if you move serious weight - either power or body building - the owner will find a way to get you out of there unless you are as quiet as a mouse. This issue does not apply to the majority of gym members: if you don't move heavy weight, you only have to deal with the other things like warm fountain water and watered-down soap (which are no big deal).

Post pandemic the entirety of the staff seems to have cut & run, NOBODY has answered the phones in 8 months. I have left several messages & emails with them and have yet to hear back.

This business is a fraudulent front to get your bank account information & social security number. I HIGHLY recommend another 24 hour gym with regular staff and month to month contracts
