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!

This gym is the opposite of that crap. It is reasonably priced and no weird hidden fees or restrictions, equipment is in great condition, staff is super nice and the access code allowed me to go whenever works for my schedule. I loved this gym so much and was sad to leave it. Is this type of business model for gyms old school? If so - lets bring it back! Thank you 504 fitness! If i move back to nola, i will absolutely come back :) Cheers , Deanna

Coach Leo, Jordan, and Neil are so great, always encouraging, supportive, and willing to help with anything you need. The classes are super efficient, packing a lot into just 45 minutes, and the format is always changing so it never gets repetitive. I've genuinely noticed myself getting stronger, and I leave every workout feeling great. Couldn't recommend more!

They owners here have really built a culture where all are welcome and there is a real sense of community amongst its members. Everyone shows up to work hard, they do not judge, and are amazingly supportive. The coaches here who are great people in their own right are also super knowledgeable and do an excellent job working with everyone from high level athletes to those who are just looking to be a little healthier. If you are looking to get into CrossFit for the first time or you have been doing it for a decade this is a great place to do it.

I started working out at Flambeaux in October with 1-1 sessions with one of the owners, Missy. I…read morewould consider myself an athletic person, but was coming into those workouts at the heaviest I've ever been and never having had any weight lifting/training experience. Missy took the time to get to know me and my goals, then plan workouts that would address that and provide me with the general knowledge to be able to engage in class confidently, when I was ready. After two months of 1-1, I gained muscle and confidence, as well as lost weight since I was also doing owner Dillon's nutrition challenge at the same time. I'm now four total months in and I can say it's one of the best decisions I've ever made for my mental and physical health. Overall, I've developed better eating habits (thx Dillon!) and am excited to go to the gym each day simply to be in community (truly, truly an inclusive one). What I love most about Flambeaux is the community and the support, regardless of when you enter ability wise. When you're in class, you will see all different types of bodies and the coach catering to each person's individual needs while still holding high standards. I truly could not recommend the owners, the program or the gym community highly enough!

The owner and lead trainer, Steve Allen, is upbeat, helpful, and motivating during class. The studio is super clean and modern. It's located at the Esplanade next to Dillard's. I hadn't been to this mall in a while but was relieved to see it has cleaned up after the corporate buyout and rebranding effort. I think businesses like this one will help this mall make its comeback! Side note- you can go on the website to see class times for the week and reserve your spot.
