I have been Jazzercising at the Metairie Center for many years…read more now and love the family-like atmosphere here. Although we have a nice, big facility to exercise in, there is a lack of customers in the evening classes of 4:30 and 5:45pm which can lead to a general low level of energy and motivation in the room. I believe there is a need for some of the instructors to maintain current and challenging routines in their sets in order to provide the best workouts. Sometimes workouts can get stale when the sets are not changed on a frequent basis. In addition, the app indicating class formats and instructors is often not correct or up-to-date. But all in all, a good place to work out; it could be even better with some needed changes.

I've been a member of Ochsner Fitness Center for about 3-4 years, and my experience has definitely…read morehad its ups and downs. Unfortunately, over the last year or so, I've found myself noticing more downs than ups. When I first joined, the facility had more of a country-club feel. It felt clean, well-maintained, and like you were getting something a little above your average gym experience. Lately, that feeling has really faded. The facility often feels crowded, and in general, it feels like it could use a really thorough cleaning and some TLC. Even the outdoor lap pools have started to have a noticeable sweaty/chlorine-type smell, which is particularly unpleasant when you're there specifically to swim laps. The pool has always been one of the biggest reasons I've stayed a member, and there are still things I genuinely enjoy about it. However, the summer months can be frustrating because a significant number of lap lanes are used for summer camps and recreational swimming. That's understandable, but it can mean waiting for a lane, and not everyone is comfortable with or willing to share lanes. It can make what should be a fairly straightforward workout unnecessarily awkward. I've also never really felt particularly welcomed or comfortable in most of the group fitness classes. Yoga and several of the other classes just never felt like they were a great fit for me. The exception is the spin classes. Those have consistently been well done, welcoming, challenging without being unreasonable, and good at accommodating different fitness levels. Those are probably the classes I would specifically recommend. The overall atmosphere is also very family-focused, which is certainly not a bad thing, but it contributes to the facility feeling busy and crowded at times. Over time, I found that the atmosphere just wasn't what I was looking for in a gym. The food situation is mixed. I wasn't particularly impressed with most of the regular food offerings and thought many of the items were overpriced, although the smoothies were consistently good and reasonably priced. The poolside food available during the summer is actually one of the highlights -- good casual/snacky food that works well when you're spending time at the pool. Customer service has also been inconsistent and, at times, lacking. For a facility positioned as a higher-end fitness center, I expected a more consistently attentive level of service. Another disappointment has been the locker rooms. I understand there are logistical/plumbing reasons why the women's locker room renovations haven't happened while the men's locker rooms have been updated, and I can appreciate that there may be legitimate constraints. But as a female member, it's still disappointing to see one side receive significant updates while the other remains in need of attention. Ultimately, I don't regret being a member for several years. There were things I genuinely enjoyed, especially the pools, certain spin instructors/classes, smoothies, and the overall convenience of having so many amenities in one place. But I think the facility has lost some of the polish and atmosphere that initially made the membership feel worthwhile. After several years, I found myself feeling more frustrated than impressed, which ultimately led me to decide it was time to move on.

Love this place! The space is large enough that you feel free to move about, but small enough to…read morefeel intimate and not overwhelming. They have a nice array of different equipment options including free weights, isolation machines, cable towers, and special purpose rooms such as the TRX (CrossFit) and a more traditional "class" room.

When I went online there were a few options to choose from which was great to say it was so last minute! Annie was the instructor for the megaformer blast class and she was so sweet and helpful! She took the time to explain everything to me before hand (they tell you to come early if it's your first time) and she took time in between to correct and direct me while teaching when needed. Overall, the staff was pleasant and it was clean, equipped and just an overall nice environment. I like their options for classes and scheduling--even the prices are reasonable, so I'll for sure be booking again soon.

I love that they are a tight-knit community that still manages to be so incredibly warm and welcoming towards new folks (like myself). They even do a monthly free workout called their "Friends and Family Day." I've been going to a gym for about a year and a half now 5x a week but was looking for something different that could challenge me and make me sweat. Vitality has been exactly that thing! They have 30 minute and hour workouts depending on what your preference is (30 mins is HIIT and 1 hr is more about strength and conditioning). All the trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and are awesome at pushing you and motivating you. I also like that they work with you on perfecting your form while doing exercises and movements so you prevent injury/maximize your effectiveness. I don't have great knees and when I let the trainers know that, they did a great job at modifying some of the exercises so I could still get a great workout in while remaining safe. They gym is super clean and they have tons of equipment that is in good condition. I also love how LGBTQ friendly the gym is which is a huge deal to me. This truly is a gym that is inclusive and for everyone!

I'm a fan of the Galleria Fitness center because I a monthly membership and there are two major…read morebenefits to me 1) the location and 2) the cost. I would say that Galleria Fitness obviously caters to residents near the Galleria as well as employees of the Galleria, but overall is a pretty average gym that is open to anyone. Here are the positives: -good selection of cardio machines and weights -tanning bed available at no additional charge -smoothies and snacks sold on sight -personal training is available (not sure of fee) -clean, safe environment -lockers available Here are the negatives: -limited classes (additional fees may apply) -shower stall stuck: the curtains are ill-fitting and the shower head can only be adjusted by a giant -limited hours on weekends and holidays (closed Sundays) -no clock, TV or radio in the locker room -staff is very casual and somewhat unprofessional at times Galleria Fitness is a good gym, not great. It's better than a hotel gym, but a much smaller Snap Fitness style gym. I like it because I'm in Metairie, but I wouldn't join otherwise. For the cost of the membership (less than $20/month), I can deal with negatives and not bitch about it. I show up, work on my fitness and get on with my day.
