I've never been particularly coordinated or encouraged in athletic endeavors. I am intimidated by people who are good at sports. The first time I walked into 36 Chambers almost all of my fears fell away. Janet and Meredith, the owners of this newly established kickboxing and kung fu studio in Mid City, were so welcoming and genuine. They understood my apprehensions and shared their experiences from when they began. It felt real. It didn't feel like they just wanted my money or like I had to be a certain way to be there. I have been going to classes and private trainings at 36 Chambers since the beginning of 2019 and I mean it when I say its changed my life. Janet and Meredith are both amazing instructors who take the time to teach. I feel like I've learned so much, I've connected with my body in a new way, and I've made friends with others in the classes. I have gained such a confidence in the past few months. And I can also throw a mean punch!

This is NOT a place with a bunch of gimmicky add-ons like fancy new cardio machines promising weight loss in no time, tanning booths, or hot stone massages. This is a place where regular, motivated folk go to get solid exercise. The trainers are fantastic, and they really hold the place together. Even if you're exercising alone, they'll never hesitate to answer questions or give you form recommendations if you want, but they're also never intrusive. I think it stands as a testimony to the trainers' skill that the gender ratio is pretty even in the classes, i.e. they manage to create an positive, serious, but not intimidating atmosphere. Other people in the classes are unanimously friendly (I get my movie and football news during the warm up, usually). Overall, I feel like I spend less time and mental effort exercising but I'm in better shape.

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.

My daughter was injured at a tournament- not unheard of in a contact sport. However, from the franchise to the corporate level, they were clearly less interested in my concerns and more interested in my membership. It took almost 4 months to even get a call back from corporate. It took another month to get a copy of the rules. This was 5+ years into her sparring. Speaking to students at other franchises, many were given written rules with their sparring gear, but that was not the case with our location. Their rules state: TOUCH TO LIGHT CONTACT does not cause pain, injury, penetration, or visible movement of the opponent receiving the technique. Points are achieved with this type of contact. MEDIUM CONTACT is not promoted but can happen accidentally as a result of fast movement while sparring. No points are given for medium contact and up to two points can be awarded to the other competitor. HARD CONTACT is never sanctioned (results in disqualification). They tell competitors that this will be enforced, but they do not unless it is truly blatant. When I spoke the instructor, it was implied that the contact was not excessive, rather her feelings were hurt because she wasn't being as included by the popular girls (which I will say was her choice, but also, hurt feelings don't leave contact marks and bruising). Further, after age 12, competitors are supposed to be separated by gender. My daughter was regularly partnered with males, including males over 16. When I expressed concerns and said that was against the rules, I was told they could not ensure she would not spar males, even adult males, so we made the decision after 6.5 years to leave, literally days before her 4th degree black belt pretest. It is clear that while we thought we were a team working to help students, including my daughter succeed, that thought went one way. If you are a parent who stays right there watching and makes sure you get everything in writing and are not be timid about stopping things you see unsafe, maybe they are ok. When my daughter was hurt (it was relatively minor- split lip, mild whiplash, and possible mild concussion and- again- not uncommon in contact sports) and we felt the opponent who kicked her too hard and in the wrong location was a poor sport, we found out how little our instructor/franchise owner had our back. We also found out how little we knew about what our rights were as a competitor/family. We were not really given the option of her finishing the round. (and while the girl who kicked her got gold, my kiddo got silver and we couldn't be more proud of her). Though we do try to focus on the positive experiences we had, which were many. Unfortunately, the negative ones were about safety, which made them nonnegotiable. We found another school and have been pleased with their responsiveness and attention to safety.

They do have a 2hr cancellation policy, after which they will charge you. Price wise, Barre Code is more affordable than its competitors, Barre3 and PureBarre. They have a new member package that is $89 for a month of unlimited classes which I think is superb and you can try a class for free using a discount code. Parking was tough on Harrison and the studio itself is on the second floor so it was a little hard to find. Once inside, the studio was immaculate, clean, and welcoming. The receptionist was very nice and helped me check in. They have spacious bathrooms, a childcare area, lockers, a changing room (which doubles as a mother's room!), and even a nice vanity for freshening up. Towel rental and bottles of water are available for purchase for $1. Kelley was there greeting students and even remembered meeting me. The class itself was great- high energy, challenging, and I'm confident that I will see results. There were around 10 people in my class and my instructor, Marissa, was very down to earth, encouraging, and attentive. There are 3 levels of class difficulty- Barre Code, TBC (total body conditioning), and HIIT. There are also 2 classes on the weekends - HIIT and Barre restore that focus on stretching and recovery.

There are several different food pavilions, restrooms, locker areas, and areas to sit.

This would be a fun place to relax with your kids during one of the summer sessions. My friends and I attending the adults-only Sip and Dip event held on Fridays during the summer. It was very affordable for a private cabana for six with early access. Be sure to reserve your tickets for the event early online as it does sell out. It got a bit crowded toward the end, and they did run out of regular floats, though some preferred the thick floating noodles offered. Every Friday night has a different theme, so there is something for everyone. They bring in Dickie Brennans for the bar, and they were wonderful with decently priced drinks and quality alcohol. They were also creating with the mocktails. I certainly will return for another Sip and Dip either later this summer, if able, or next year. Absolutely worth it!

My first time at Cool Zoo was for the adults-only Friday night party, Sip & Dip. This event is 2X a month during the heart of the summer and features theme nights with DJs and of course since this is NOLA, people get creative and might dress in theme. I went on 80s night and the music was so fun and I loved people wearing neon, 80s tshirts and even hair and make-up. Refreshments stands are spread out among the park and they do a themed cocktail and sell beer, hard seltzer and soft drinks, along with typical concession food and popcorn. I had the cocktail of the evening, the Purple Rain and while it was eye-catching, it was so sweet and possibly strong, too, that I couldn't drink more than 1/4 of it (and it's a huge cup, fairly priced at only $13). The grounds are beautiful with fountains and an area with slides and water features that you'd normally see children dominating (with perfectly good reason) but it was actually fun to see adults having at it on the slides and at the water sprayers. Then there's the lazy river, which is a decent size, warm and full of jets to move you along. We ended up not using flotation devices and swam/walked through it. My main issue and why this event isn't personally my cup of tea: it's too crowded. It sells out but I think they sell far too many tickets. We arrived 15 min after it started and there wasn't a lounge chair nor seat at a table to be found. Cabanas are so cheap here but they sell out immediately ahead of the event, likely the day that tickets go on sale. The only way I'd return was if I could get a cabana. The lazy river is completely packed 45 minutes into the event. We were lucky enough to get a locker (which also sell out so imagine being there without a space to put your things??? how is that fun?). People are in general nice enough to hand over the inner tubes but good luck ever getting a place to sit if you didn't line up in advance of start time. I keep going back between 3 and 4 stars for the main reason that everyone who works here is SO nice. The staff really made everything bearable for me, as they were so welcoming and helpful to point out where the lockers were (there's another set behind the set you initially encounter). I just think this isn't the event for anyone who avoids crowds of people. And the crowd that was there that night were totally fine (at least early in the evening). They just sell too many tickets for me to enjoy it.

Near the end of the land it drops down beyond the levee the a naturally made sandy area I hesitate to call a beach.

Over the past eight months, I have spent time at the barn almost daily after being offered the opportunity to lease a beautiful horse, with all the support I needed to learn, build confidence, and feel safe.

I have loved getting to know this beautiful breed and look forward to continuing my journey as a rider. The horses receive exceptional care, and it shows. Everyone at the barn is welcoming, helpful, and genuinely invested in creating a positive experience for both horses and riders. I've also enjoyed the trail rides. The horses are calm and dependable, and riding through the park is peaceful and beautiful. Whether you're new to horses or returning to riding later in life as I did, Cascade is a wonderful place to learn, grow, and be part of a supportive equestrian community. I highly recommend it.

(You can check one of two boxes for any experience from riding 0-10 times or more than 10 times.) The horse, Oreo, only wanted to eat grass, and I struggled as soon as we got to the park. We were told both horses were calm. The guide barked instruction from the front of the other rider instead of coming over to explain. He just kept telling me to kick the horse harder and pull the reins harder. I would pull the reins up and the horse would immediately put his head back down to eat grass. I tried multiple times to get him away from the grassy area. I was afraid and felt unstable, so I grabbed the saddle and the guide fussed at me for grabbing the saddle. He repeated the same instructions over again, which weren't working, and eventually came over to me. I ended up being terrified on top of the horse. So, the guide called someone to come out and help. I didn't feel safe at that point and just asked to get down. I ended up walking back and will never get on another horse after this experience. There's no refunds. It was a total waste of time. The other workers didn't seem to believe me when I complained about the guide (big guy named Lane, I think) until the one other rider explained how disengaged the guide acted. My friend has done a bunch of trail rides and never experienced such bad service. Save your money and go do something else. This stable doesn't care about its riders.
