Dropped in a few times while visiting from out of town and I was very impressed. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming and you can tell they are really building community. It's a special place. I did a couple of classes, which were great, and a couple of open gyms. If I lived here, I'd definitely join. read more

CrossFit NOLA - The mid city location. So. much. space. - Trainers Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I joined CF NOLA in March after feeling stuck at planet fitness. I felt bored and uninterested at my old gym and quite uncomfortable with the amount of people that would try to talk to me while I worked out as sometimes it was inappropriate and uncomfortable commentary. I'm so glad I joined CF NOLA - this place makes everybody feel like a somebody. The diversity is incredible and it really is more than just a gym. The coaches care about you as a person, your form and performance. I tell a lot of my friends it's a great workout and a 10/10 social hour. Highly suggest this gym - especially the Midcity location on Toulouse. read more

Set up a personal training session with CF NOLA while on a business trip(I'm from Maui). They were very responsive and I had a great session with my trainer-he showed me some new(for me)exercises. Excellent facility and training, super communication; will most assuredly return and promote! read more

I lifted weights and exercised years before CrossFit with decent success - but CrossFit has been a game changer for me - it's structured with incredible instruction. CrossFit NOLA in particular has the best coaches I've ever experienced- not to mention the wide variety of classes and available times. I'm about 5-years into this and the improvements keep coming even at age 51! read more

First excellent and informative staff. Whether it Jeff, Mollie, Aaron, Kelsey or a host of other trainers/coaches here you'll likely land in a class with someone who is well versed in the ins and outs of crossfit training. The atmosphere is light but at the same time very competitive which is why I chose this gym over some of the others in the city. Whenever I would do a ride by they were ALWAYS working hard, and being the type of person who feels most comfortable in that environment I gravitated to it. The pace and competitiveness is always accompanied by a positive an encouraging comradery, so anyone even someone who has never worked out or played sports before could come in and not feel intimidated at all. If I had to guess I would guess I would say the ratio is about 2 to 1 men but many of the women are as impressive or moreso than some of the guys. I would recommend the Burthe street location to anyone though I've heard the midcity locale as the same feel and is a bit larger. In all great place to get a workout. read more

"CrossFit? What's that?" "Oh, it's just constantly varied, functional movements, at high intensity, bro!" Actually, I can't talk. Last time I checked I had more CrossFit certifications than anyone in this city (seriously). Up until about about a year ago there was only one box (CF lingo for a gym to tear it up in) in this city and I am glad to see that people are starting to get into the movement. I have been by here once and it was a pretty solid place. I am going to make another trip in there within the week which will be followed by a stimulating update. Be excited. read more

Great workouts, great coaches, a lot of fun, everyone is so nice. I love CrossFit NOLA.

Great workouts that extremely challenging, but most importantly fun! Seeing results quickly. read more

I have been a going to Crossfit NOLA for 8+ years. I travel for work and drop in a lot of other Crossfit gyms. The Crossfit NOLA coaches are passionate about its members and leading them on their fitness journey whether they are a novice or competitor. If you are looking to start a fitness goal or are an advanced Crossfitter, this is a great gym for you. read more

Absolutely love these people! They did so much to make us feel welcome and supported during a lengthy vacation in Nola. Became our home away from home. Awesome team and facilities! read more

I was visiting NOLA and dropped into a few classes. The coaches and members were super welcoming. Will absolutely drop in again my next visit. read more

I am so excited I finally signed up for CrossFit NOLA. I was afraid that it would feel competitive or I would feel pushed, but no, the people are welcoming. I love the coaches. I love meeting new people. #pumpedforcrossfit I cannot wait to continue the journey! read more

The people and stafF are awesome everyone is friendly the coax Che's do push you to keep so working and getting better everyday.

Great coach when i dropped in on a Sunday. It was a cool down day so the workout was meant to be lighter. I learned several stretches. It was a great experience. read more

I was going to be in New Orleans knowing full well I was going to take advantage of all the bountiful food. I didn't want to derail my fitness too much and being that I am a Crossfitter anyway, I decided taking a Crossfit class would probably be a very good idea. I did a little Yelp search for Crossfit gyms only two came up. The closest to the house I was staying at was Crossfit NOLA. I perused the website and it would set me back $20 to attend a class. An average price for most places. I sent out an e-mail explaining I was visiting from out of town and would like to attend a class. I promptly received a welcoming response. Cut to Thursday afternoon and I walk into Crossfit NOLA. The previous class was wrapping up so I checked out the space and it is typical of a Crossfit gym: bars, kettlebells, weights at one wall, pull up bars along another. There was a guy at the laptop which I assumed was the trainer and I was correct. He immediately asked if I was the visitor and I told him yes. He welcomed me and had me fill out some paperwork. Soon more people arrived and the class started. After busting my ass class came to an end. I had a great workout! Whenever I make it back to New Orleans I will absolutely be stopping by Crossfit NOLA again. read more

I had a few apprehensions about Crossfit in general- that it would be super intimidating, really masculine, and a hostile environment to women in terms of space and exercise. All of those were destroyed when I went to Crossfit NOLA 504 in Midcity. Firstly, you enroll in a fundamentals course, 2 classes per week for 4 weeks, that provides you will all the knowledge you need in order to participate in regular classes. They have a beginner work out you can go to to transition into regular workouts, but you can just go to the regular. The head coach, Liz, is awesome and super friendly. Every coach focuses on having correct form over speed and having huge weights. The classes are very structured, so you know what to do when. Also, the coaches are always willing to demonstrate for you, in addition to giving you pointers throughout the workout. As for being a woman in Crossfit- this is no longer a source of anxiety. There are a lot of women at this gym! A few coaches are women, there are a lot of regulars with a variety of body types- not just muscle beasts. Which is equally as intimidating as being with all men. Skills have prescribed weights for women and for men, and you are able to scale further as needed. There is a new crop of people coming in every few weeks, and so there is no need to be shy. They've also built a great culture of camaraderie with an ice-breaker question before the workout, and partner work outs are awesome. read more

Started working out here about 2.5 years ago in search of a place that would give me challenging workouts in a fun, supportive community. I have lower back issues, and CrossFit at this gym has the best thing I've ever done for my back. Great people, supportive coaches, and whether you've never lifted a weight in your life or are a total meathead, this is a great place to go. read more

5 stars from the start to the end of the WOD. I was visiting from out of town and they were so awesome to let me stop by and join in. The instructor was awesome and very welcoming. Couldn't be happier with my workout today. Thanks for making it nice to drop in. read more

Not sure why I didn't join this gym when I first moved to New Orleans. By paying a bit more than a usual gym membership, I get access to excellent classes (with some diverse options, like Olympic lifting, "strongman", gymnastics, etc.) in addition to getting regular access to the gym. While it doesn't have all the machines a typical gym would have, those are less useful anyways. This is also more than compensated by the fact that the gym is huge and has lots of space for lifting. If you do any weightlifting, especially with barbells, stop going to a regular gym and fighting for scarce space. The coaches are very good and the gym-goers are a good and diverse bunch in terms of experience. This is very much worth the investment. You'll get a much better and more holistic workout, you don't have to spend time planning workouts, and you'll feel like a part of the community. Only downside is (at least during this pandemic), the weekend hours suck. But if you're diligent about hitting the gym on all other days then Sunday can be an off day without it impacting anything. read more

Ended up at this location instead of the other one. And the class was over. But the coach Janelle still was super awesome and let me work out. Friendly. Great Environment. Def. a good box! Will visit the other locations this week! Thank you guys! Really happy to have a great experience here. read more

Jeff, Mollie and all the coaches here are great. I was a guest here for a few months 3 summers in a row. Very much enjoyed the box. If I were moving to NOLA or looking for a new Crossfit experience in the area, this where I would start. Its old school, so be ready to sweat!! read more

This is a great place! I tried another gym before settling on CrossFit NOLA. I found their hours to be very accommodating and having multiple sites is also a big help. The owner is very easy to work with and actually was my coach for all of our intro classes. The other coaches have all been excellent. They foster a great team dynamic and never hesitate to correct your form. Safety is a top priority during your work out. If you're new to crossfit, I don't think you can go wrong with CF NOLA. Be prepared to spend more than your average gym membership, but I've found it worth the extra money. read more

Update: the owner did get in touch and gave a gift card to make it right. I do appreciate checking in with me and look forward to having another session! read more

I travel often for work and having a box that feels like home is a big deal. Was able to make two drop-ins at the Downtown location and could not have been happier. Phil Guillot was a fantastic coach, the format and style were great, and the location and space were phenomenal. Now the expectations for my home box have been raised and I wish I lived closer! read more

Joined here back in March 2014 on the suggestion of a member. Was in need of some structured workouts and even though CF gets such a bad wrap, I decided to give it a shot. CrossFit Nola has been a great experience. The Fundamentals class really focuses on teaching proper form, which is carried over into the regular WODs. All of the instructors that I've had the pleasure of working with make sure that you are properly warmed up and that your stretching is focused on the day's strength exercise and WOD activities. The classes are very well organized and not so large that the instructor cannot give proper attention to everyone. They offer great modified options to those of us that aren't quite up to strength needed for certain movements. They are also GREAT about answering questions whether during classes or via email. Full disclosure, I have not worked out in any other boxes. That said, much of the negative comments that are out there about CrossFit are not things that should be said about CrossFit Nola. Thanks to Jeff and Mollie for getting your team focused and taking great care of us. Special props to my most common trainers: Jackson, Eric, Josh, and Brandon...and LIZ of course, who got me fundamentaled (sic). read more

Wonderful box and extremely welcoming for us drop ins here to escape hurricane Irma. We loved the programming as well as the coaching. Members were so nice and will definitely be visiting here often until I get to go back home!!! read more

I ran 4 times a week for 3 years. Lost lots of weight and got in shape. Decided to kick it up a notch, so I joined Crossfit. After the first week, I have never been so sore, but so energized in my life. They're good at working with a group, whether old or young, fit or trying to get there. Every class is split into three sections: warm up, strength training, then the WOD - workout of the day. Its an intense 7-15 minutes of repetitive sets and running that you compete with your fellow class-mates to finish in the fastest time. If that sounds intense, you're right. If it also sounds like you're going to get in great shape, you're also right. read more

Janelle was my 1 on 1 coach for the few weeks leading up to my wedding and could not have had a better experience. She was very knowledgeable and was able to help work around my back issues. Working with her has led to a solid routine at my home CF box, and I couldn't be more thankful read more

Had a great drop-in at this gym. The coach and other crossfitters were very welcoming! I also got a tank top which I love!

I met with one of the coaches and he was very hospitable, while I was visiting. I didn't even drop in. I only had time to buy a shirt. I checked out the box and it looks very nice. I am sure I would come if I was in the area and I had more time. read more

I dropped in for a class last year and was impressed with the facility, the staff and the class as a whole. It's always one of my stops in NOLA. Great place to CrossFit! read more

In all fairness, I've only been to two Crossfit boxes. Of the two, this one is much more interested in helping you understand the sport and properly perform the movements. The other folks who go are supportive. The workouts are tough. You feel great afterwards. The atmosphere is competitive enough to make you push yourself but also very supportive, and I'm really happy I found this place. read more

Dropped in while in town for a conference back in December. Coaches and members were welcoming. Was accessible via car from French Quarter. Will definitely drop in again when back in the area. read more

Great workout at Crossfit NOLA! Dropped in for a couple of classes while in town on business. Can walk to this location from the Convention Center or downtown which makes it easy. The instructors treated me like a member - introduced me to the class and provided technique tips during the workout. Thanks Crossfit NOLA! read more

I lived in New Orleans for a month and the first thing I did was try to find a box. Crossfit NOLA (mid-city) was about a mile from my place and it was great. They made me feel very welcome. I miss the coaches and all the athletes! read more

CrossFit NOLA is a fantastic gym. I will say that CrossFit probably isn't for everyone, but for those that enjoy high intensity workouts and are serious about getting in fit, its a great place. The instructors here are extremely helpful and knowledgable, and all the members are extremely friendly. The one downfall, is that it's expensive, but as the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for." read more

Was visiting NOLA with gf to visit the sites. I'm a crossfitter and love visiting different boxes. CF NOLA was close to my hotel. I informed them that I was stopping in for a WOD. The coaches were friendly. The athletes were intense like all crossfiters, lol. I'm originally from the northeast, so if you go in the spring, summer season be prepared to sweat and drink lot of water, the humidity is crazy. I enjoyed my experience and will be back when visiting NOLA again. Check this place out. read more

Best box ever!! This unique establishment offers a wide variety of classes to accommodate the needs of all individuals ranging from newbie to elite. The experienced staff are wonderful individuals who make every effort to welcome you and guide you through the many rigorous WODs that challenge you to be your best. Each box CrossFit NOLA has is fully equipped with all of the top-rated devices leaving no one without a bar or rower to handle. I can't speak enough of how great Crossfit NOLA is! Definitely the place for any individual to start CrossFit or drop-in for a WOD! read more

CrossFit NOLA is hands down the best crossfit gym in Louisiana. It offers a range of classes from beginners to advanced. They offer a lot of specialty classes, such as boxing, gymnastics, oly, competitors, endurance, and basic everyday WODs. When I started at CFNOLA I had never even touched a barbell. Now, I get compliments at every other gym I visit. I had to leave for a year for a job and am having a hard time finding another gym anywhere close to the level of excellence CF NOLA brings. Between the three locations and the wide range of coaches, you will find something you enjoy. Always recommended! read more

Fantastic gym and walkable from the convention center! Good coaching and very welcoming to drop ins!
