I was impressed with the studio and even more so with the instructor. Karen leads a Triyoga class that was both challenging and relaxing at times. She provides props and the setting is very tranquil and comfortable. The class I attended was basics, and I would recommend to anyone who has never tried yoga or has some class time under their belt. Karen cues with alternative suggestions for those with issues that prevent certain movements or stressors on affected body areas. There were moments requiring focus and concentration with obvious muscle work, but I didn't realize I had worked strenuously till I woke the next morning! But that is Karen, a very gentle woman, who is also a joyful teacher making the challenge and discipline of yoga seem like fun. The morning class folks were friendly and welcoming, a very refreshing morning!

I've been trying out a lot of different gyms on class pass and I really like the Pilates loft! I've…read moretried a few different classes and all of the teachers are so understanding! The loft is located upstairs (haha get it- loft) and there is only a class or two going st a time. I really love the tower/reformer class. With only 4-5 students (or less) the teachers can be super hands on. I did a workout with me and one other student who was studying to become a Pilates teacher and we both got a frat workouts with the modifications given. I would go to this gym again and try out some of their other classes. January a warning. When you fill out the paper work it asks you if you are over 20 pounds.

A group of us make sure we go before the staff gets there to avoid this but as paying customers for 24 hour access this practice doesn't seem to put the customer first. After repeatedly mentioning this to them I have given up. There are times when my schedule only allows for their working hours and at this point when I take a class when they are there I always regret that I did.

Okay so I've been coming here for almost a year so I feel like I can do an honest review. I'll…read morestart with the good news first. I have real abs now for the first time! It's a great workout to build your core and the instructors are very patient and knowledgeable. Bad news is that besides the already expensive pricing their cancellation policy is insane. You have to cancel a class 12 hours in advance in order to not be charged. I take classes at 6am so there's no way I know before 6pm the prior day if something may come up that requires me to cancel. So paying over $200 a month plus all these $10/$15 dollars charges whenever you may have to miss makes the pricing outlandish to me. Then, if you decide maybe I'll just book later in case something comes up there's always a waitlist. A lose/lose. Overall, a really great core workout though but just be weary on if you need to miss a class

There's a handful of great teachers at this studio, which is a solid hot vinyasa studio in NOLA but…read moreGabriella isn't one of them so I'm putting a one star review here to bring awareness. In 20 years of practice, I have never seen a teacher anywhere on the globe that teaches with such ego, narcissism and lack of concern for student safety. Literally told her before class that I have hardware in my lumbar and my PT told me not to do backbends anymore because I hardly have a disc left above my 19yo spinal fusion yet she ridicules me in front of the class for not doing the backbends she calls for. Pretty appalling. Going to her classes are sitting through more of a session in her kissing her own ass than they are actually practicing yoga.

You enter through the side of the house that's in front, through all kinds of foliage, up the stairs and into a clean, modern space with high ceilings and exposed beams. Mirrors on one side. Windows above to allow in natural light. It's just enough space to allow for a good amount of people, plus clear sight lines to the front of the room, which is really nice! I took Alexis' Sunday noon class, which of course was as great as usual (for those who haven't taken Alexis' class, it features non traditional, fun pop/dance music and a vigorous flow that can be practiced at all levels).

The only down side for me is the location. It just isn't easy for me to get here.

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.
