Kendra and Suzanne's morning workouts challenge me, with Louise I always learn something new about the human body and each of them help me to feel energetic and strong. The whole staff is friendly, eager to assist (shoutout to Sarah, Catherine, Bobby and Gavin!) and there are classes in the evenings as well. BFF offers 24 hour access to all you need to stay in shape whether you attend a class, hire a trainer or just pop in and do your own thing with the array of equipment offered. I'm a fan.

My plan worked well... I was already in the habit of coming in 3 times a week when the new year rolled around, so now I could focus on the work! Raegan is our Fit Forever coach/ trainer and she is awesome! She is very knowledgeable about training and bodies, pushing and supporting us, and we are seeing results! Each of us had a different starting point in our fitness journey and she has made the appropriate individual adjustments to our training. I know I am stronger and have increased my cardio capacity, which is very motivating. Having a regular group to train with, to bitch with, so high five with is also very motivating... definitely a part of what keeps getting me there on those days I don't feel like it!

Went in recently to upgrade to a black card so that I may frequent other locations. I knew my monthly cost would go up but felt as though I should have been grandfathered in for the annual fee.

I called to speak with manager and he didn't seem to care about it all. No worries, bet I'll cancel this membership and go to the competitors!!!!!! It's the principal for me!

The pool is warmer than PAC genesis (as well as both of Franco's pools work) The showers are exquisite with privacy curtains and shampoo and conditioner is provided by the club . Pelican athletic aka genesis only gives foaming antibiotic BS for the members in their showers too so FRANCOS trumping them on multiple levels and it's cheaper here for the year contract also! I love this place so much and I can't wait to be back tomorrow and see what in the gift shop and go for another workout! Thank you so much Amy Gatti and all the other wonderful women who greeted me and even gave me a beautiful purple colored FRANCOS tee shirt. I'm just beyond excited and so grateful to be welcomed at my new club !!!!!

I'd like to make it clear that I've been going to Franco's on and off literally since the day it…read moreopened in the 1980s. I even worked there in college and this is a first-hand review of my experience and my feelings about how the club handles the safety of its' older members, two of whom are my parents. The fact that Franco's got my original review taken down instead of absorbing the feedback and addressing safety concerns shows they care more about their reputation than safety. I stand by my original review... I'd like to reiterate, please enter at your own risk. There are trainers and employees who are not vaxxed and working closely indoors with members in their 60s, 70s, and 80s who could be at risk because of the selfishness and irresponsibility of Franco's, it's staff, and policies. Is there a vaccine mandate in Mandeville? No. Can businesses implement one? Yes. In my opinion, to hide behind the, "no mandate" defense is lazy and puts profits before safety. We were incredibly disappointed and horrified to learn one of the trainers who works with my elderly members including my dad, had Covid and was unvaxxed. How many days do you think this trainer showed up to work as a carrier before testing positive? It's unclear and scary to think about. Of course getting Covid isn't anyone's fault... But to knowingly and willingly go to work in an indoor environment with people who are elderly and choose not to be vaccinated, all with permission of your employer, is dangerous. I don't think it's unfair or unkind to warn people of a potentially unsafe and dangerous environment. I'd like to offer a suggestion - if you are not going to require vaccinations of your staff, I'd recommend only having those trainers who are vaccinated, teach/train members 60+.

We found classes that fit our needs In skill and variety. The coaches are excellent in every way and they think about safety and ask for medical issues you have before every class. I highly recommend Club Pilates for people who are beginners or have some experience at low to mid level which is why we like it and it fits our needs perfectly. Tanya has always accommodated us and worked with us if we had issues.So give them try and experience the benefits. Ace

Even though THEY communicated with me via text, when I let them know via text a month in advance that I wanted to cancel and they responded- that wasn't okay, I had to go there in person to cancel. They continued to charge my credit card. I contested the charge with my credit card company and immediately they threatened to send me to collections. Of course, I didn't want that on my credit report, so I had no choice except to pay. I spoke with my attorney, who concurred that their business practices are unethical and the contract they make you sign is ambiguous. Others have mentioned- it's 2026, everything is done electronically- I cancel memberships. subscriptions etc via the internet- why not get with the times!? They just want your $$$. It is difficult to schedule classes they are almost always full, you can get wait listed-but you won't know if you get in until you get up in the morning. they charge $25 if you don't show for a class, won't let you in if you are more than 5 min late (unless you know someone there). Some of the instructors are great, others are not. I had private classes before I went there, it was a much better experience. My final thought ~ class action lawsuit

I was a member of UFC Gym in Chicago for three years and loved the boxing and HIIT and was in the best shape of my life. I moved to Mandeville and joined Orangetheory and have been there for a year. I did not see the results I expected after a year of consistent training and eating well. I came across this gym and took the free class....wow! My theory is if I don't hate the trainer during the workout it's not a good workout! The owners are so friendly and welcoming. The members are supportive. It's a small gym so, if you don't care about bourgeois gyms where people spend more time taking selfies than on a serious workout than this is your place! I encourage everyone to try the free class. You won't regret it!

I thought the people there cared about him. I have highly recommended this gym to countless people over the years. Unfortunately, we had to cancel his membership because the owner, Tory - a professional boxer - decided it would be ok to threaten to get in the ring with my son and "go a few rounds" with him. Not in an effort to teach or guide my son but simply because as my son was in a sparring match he didn't hear a command that Tory gave him. I am beyond disappointed.
