I've been training with Brian for six years now, and it has literally changed my life. At 42, I'm…read morestronger than I was at 32 or even 22, and I can confidently say I'm in the best shape of my life. As a woman, I've become increasingly aware of how important strength training is for maintaining muscle and bone density as we age. And for anyone afraid that lifting weights will make you "bulk up," fear not. I get compliments on my arms all the time, and I love feeling strong while still feeling feminine. The physical benefits have been incredible, but what I value even more is the mental strength and confidence I've gained. There's something empowering about knowing I'm actively taking care of my body for the future. When life throws something physical at me, my first thought is often, "I trained for this." I can lift heavy things safely and with proper form. I have better endurance, more energy, and even during busy periods when I can only make it to the gym once a week, I'm able to maintain the strength I've built. The money I've invested in personal training is genuinely one of the best investments I've ever made. Six years later, I can see and feel the return every single day. The culture of the gym is an incredibly positive, welcoming environment filled with people of all ages, backgrounds, body types, and fitness levels, and Brian is the furthest thing from the stereotypical "meathead" trainer. He's thoughtful and intentional in his approach, genuinely invested in the people he trains, and simply a great person to be around. I'm incredibly grateful to Brian for his guidance, knowledge, consistency, and for helping me become stronger than I ever thought I could be. If you're considering investing in personal training, especially as you get older, do it. Your future self will thank you.

I think I've earned the right to give the first review for Cypress Fitness, as I have left quite a…read morebit of sweat there over the past four and a half months since they've opened. I had been doing kickboxing training with Brian for over a year at another gym when he told me that he and a business partner, Brandon, were opening their own gym on Tchoup. So I followed him there and have been taking TRX, Kettlebell, and various other cardio and circuit training classes pretty regularly. TRX is something that everyone in NOLA who likes to eat, but does not like being fat, should get into. It is effective for everyone from frail grannies to muscled-up ex-navy seals (who developed the system). Drew Brees endorses it (and uses it), so that alone should convince you to try it. Kettlebell training with Brandon will make you strong. Not stare-at-your-arms-in-the-mirror-while-you-do-curls strong, but real functional strength. No machines, just your body moving itself and an object in dynamic, natural movements with your core and stabilizing muscles working the whole time. I was trying to think of an adequate metaphor/simile to describe the results I've experienced from my training at Cypress, and the best I could come up with was "These abs! I look like a white D'Angelo circa 'Untitled (How does it feel).'" Is that too obscure an early '00s R&B video reference? Maybe. Suffice it to say that the trainers at Cypress Fitness will motivate you to get in great shape, in a completely judgment-free, supportive, accessible and fun environment. This is not a chain-franchise-Anytime-Riviera gym -- it is a gym run by people who care about your health, designed for people who want to achieve their better selves.

I tried this gym out when looking for a place to join. They got back to me promptly and offered to let me try out one of their classes that I was interested in. 6am spinning isn't for everyone but I love it! The instructor was very helpful and lead the small class through a really well rounded workout. I really enjoyed it and I liked that the class wasn't packed. The gym never seems to be packed either which is good because it really is only one room. They have a lot of equipment and two class rooms but thats it. There isn't a locker room just a large bathroom and a second one with a small shower. It's on the second floor above CC's so street parking can be an issue. Overall I thought this place was great but I was looking for a bit more. Had the monthly fee been cheaper I would have considered joining just for the spin classes... but its quite expensive and I just didn't think that it was the best fit for me. Good gym if you just need a place to work out and go and don't mend spending some money doing that.

I went on a Saturday morning and took the Les Mills Body Pump class and the Body Combat class. I have done Body Pump at my gym and was very comfortable with this class. The instructor did an excellent job and the class was pretty full but there was plenty of room to workout. I had never done Body Combat but I have done Kick boxing. Loved the Body Combat class. Not quite as many people but a high energy class. Salvation Studio was easy for me to get to from where we were staying right out of the French Quarter by taking the bus. It dropped me off almost right in front of the studio. Excellent workout, nice people working there.

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!

I used to do crossfit at another gym a couple years ago, but it was getting to be too $$$. Flambeaux Fit is arguably much more affordable than your other crossfit gyms and offers a wonderful community of people, intense workouts, and encouragement from friendly (yet stern) coaches. I've been going for close to a month now, and I am so, so happy I did the damn thing and joined! One of my favorite things about this gym and the people is that they make it a point to be inclusive. You won't ever feel like you have to tip-toe your way around anyone at the gym which was a major factor in my decision on signing up. Going to the gym is supposed to excite you (even if the workout sounds dreadful) instead of having you doubling over with anxiety because you might find yourself overly self-conscious. I am looking forward to where this gym takes me and furthering my relationships with the other members. Make sure to check this place out if you're interested in starting up your fitness era and continuing it someplace new!

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).
