What i love most about Girls Gone Buff is that it's for every woman. One of the first things i…read morenoticed when i started going to their classes is how inclusive it is. You'll see every body type and age group working out with you. You'll see women bring their pups and their kids to class (never in a distracting way; but rather i appreciate seeing this because it means that no matter what they WANT you there and for nothing to stand in-between bettering yourself). I can come to class with cat hair on my yoga pants and not feel like i'm being judged. Which in my life working from home, this is a priority. There are multiple different class times and locations to choose from every week day. You don't have to sign up yearly and can go month-to-month which was a big bonus to me since i work seasonally out of state for a few months of the year. You will work harder and push yourself more than you ever could on your own because you are surrounded by women that are not going to quit. That means you can't quit. Chelsey and Shane make sure to walk you through the new exercises and they look out for you and your form. If you have a preexisting injury, they will help choose alternate exercises for you. I've always been more of a runner/pilates type person and crossfit dream baes intimidated and slightly confused me. But here i am friggin' jumpin' rope, doing burpees, whirling kettlebells around and am now bringing in all my groceries in one trip because i'm getting STRONGER. These classes are so worth it. Come join us! Bonus points if you suck at jumping rope. You can come stand by me!

Girls Gone Buff is a great workout and community!…read more The owners, Chelsey and Shane, are wonderful, motiving, and their passion for fitness and GGB is clear - and contagious! They bring new work outs to every class, which keeps it fun, interesting and fresh. They combine stretching, core work, cardio, and strength into every boot camp class. There are numerous classes every day at multiple locations, so it's easy to fit it into schedule. The work outs are scaleable so they are great for any fitness level - pro to beginner. They combine classic moves like push ups, sit ups, and squats with jump rope, burpees and kettle bell swings to engage the full body. Chelsey and Shane do a great job of making people feel welcome and creating a community. They share additional online work outs to add to your routine - at no additional cost. They also share healthy recipes, community events, local races, and monthly challenges to keep everyone working towards their goals. I highly recommend GGB!

Want a gym where they don't clean up (the workers) , spray bottles empty, the napkin disposers…read morebroken, have old equipment , broken , and missing pieces ? Or that turns the AC off when they leave? Workers who don't care who comes in and out without a key? Then you have picked the perfect gym to join. They don't have workers there overnight but get mad that people let their friends in. I mean your workers already let people go in without a key and with their friends and have the nerve to get mad about that? Maybe if your workers would have did their job in the first place and spoke up it would have never gotten to where it is now. HIRE NEW PEOPLE AND OVERNIGHT! But also hire someone so people can feel SAFE! When women are at the gym and there's a bunch of men they don't feel comfortable and are sometimes afraid to walk to their car especially when there is nobody at the gym. It is not the peoples fault for YOUR workers poor job performance. The owner comes and does NOT even clean the place up. STOP having so much pride also to the owners . Let someone else also come in and try to help get the place running better like the guy who wanted to buy half of the gym and get new equipment for the place. There should also not be kids running around the gym while people are working out or teenagers just hanging around sitting. The kids can hurt and also the teenagers get in the way of people who do want to work out. Before you try to sit here and make it all the people is fault it all BEGINS WITH THE INSIDE OF THE WORK PLACE !!!

I went in as a full-time student from Nunez seeking a month-to-month non-annual and no obligation…read moreplan. I told them I was broke and couldn't afford any contractual obligations because of my student status. Short, buff guy with a shaved head who both works and works-out here says that's fine; I put up like $103 split 50/50, first month up-front and my second month was insurance OR collateral to pay for that last month if I couldn't afford another month and then he proceeded to say that it was also fine, my account would fall into inactivity and I could just come back and pay when I want because I wasn't under contract AND WOULD NOT INCUR CHARGES! I am now $250 in debt to this gym, somehow, without signing a contract. I am going to cancel my membership today and I refuse to pay the bill due to unethical malpractice. The absolute BEST part is how you can't cancel your service remotely regardless of the information you can provide i.e: social security, birth certificate, etc. I live on the Westbank and must go to Chalmette to cancel, in the flesh; obviously another racket by Prestige to discourage you to appear so they can charge you behind the scenes! They refused to even let me freeze my account unless I appeared physically in-the-skin. I refuse to pay Prestige despite whatever collection agency they send. Try me.

I did the weeklong trial. It was OKAY. The space is too small. There is no equipment to train with…read more(bags, gloves, jump ropes, mirrors, etc.) It is VERY plain and VERY small, basically four walls and a mat. There were way too many students to fit in the small space. The student to coach ratio is absurd, there were 14 students and one teacher in our age range's class (preteen to young teen). There was not enough seating for parents. Parents had to stand the entire duration of the class, sit on floors and one lady brought her own lawn chair. The parking isn't that great, that is if you can find a spot. There were several "problem" students that seemed to distract the coach quite frequently. When the students were paired up for matches, many weren't even monitored by the coach. How could he? With 14 students, there were 7 matches going on at once and he missed so much. Maybe an assistant would help. I didn't like how I saw some of the "bully" types take advantage of the coach's head being turned. All in all, it has potential because many people seem to be interested in it. However, if this place wants to stay in the game, they better step it up. My advice: Spend a few dollars and buy some decent seating (not football benches) and get a second trainer or assistant in the mix.

I am a one stripe blue belt who has been training here since the summer of 2017, so my review will…read morecome of as very biased. However, I've no doubt that many others who've came and trained here will feel the same. While we are a small school, our sense of community is unrivaled. Our students all come from different backgrounds with different goals, ideas and beliefs, however if you were to come and experience a class with us, that won't be the first thing you'd noticed. You'd notice that aside from training and sparring, our classes are filled with conversations, jokes and banter. I admit that you will find gyms with better facilities and equipment, but I'll be hard pressed to find one with a more accepting and welcoming atmosphere than that of ours or any of the other Gracie United schools for that matter. Our professor(instructor),Matthew Stock, strives to maintain an environment that pushes the students to better themselves and allow us to be competitive, while at the same time reminding us to humble ourselves. You will seldom find someone more dedicated to teaching this craft. He has kept this school open even after years of not being able to turn a profit. In every tournament that one of our members has competed in, he always makes sure to show up to support and coach us, no matter if it was the entire adult class that signed up or a handful of the kids class. We are a small gym and we can only make due with the small amount of money we produce. However, that shouldn't discourage you from coming and experiencing it for yourself. The more people that come and sign up, the more we would be able to provide back for our students. Because this is more than just a business, it's a family.

Not as big as Canal Street but they use the space very well. They also have open use of the Evolt body scanners which have been limited at all the other AF locations I've been to (if they have them at all). This location is nowhere near my house but I always feel motivated to go if I'm in the Bywater.
