Here for work and if you've followed me at all you know I review gyms. This gym isn't perfect, but it's pretty damn close. Met the owner, bubba, and he was polite and super friendly. Talked about other gyms and then carried on. Now most anytimes have precor. Not the best equipment around but thank God it's not matrix. He has all hammer strength and life fitness. Which is amazing mostly because he has three life fitness arc trainers. If you haven't used them, they look intimidating but they are by far the best cardio machine around. All the benefits of elliptical and running without the stress on knees/hips. You need to do yourself favor and check them out. Upstairs, here. Gym is clean. Not spotless but it's a gym. Have to appreciate a little stuff here and there. Most everything is maintained well. There is some spirding webbing on some benches and the precor cable machine upstairs has a hitch in it. But honestly all I saw that wasn't amazing. Layout is also great. It's pretty obvious he has a few gyms because the flow is good. I'll be in Slidell again, soon, and will be coming back here. You should already becoming here if you are close.

The coaches were very very knowledgeable and ready to help, not just shove you off and leave you to your own devices. It took months before I even knew who the owner was because she's also an AMAZING coach! This CrossFit box is definitely more than just a warehouse for storing gym equipment (haha), sorry I had to throw the big box gyms under the bus for a sec. If you're looking to grow and work on what CrossFit was truly intended to be, this is most definitely where you need to be! Home away from home is an understatement. Feel free to try it out for yourselves.

Well organized, clean, and well maintained. Staffing: Helpful staff. Great people willing to help out and motivate. Most important Pro: Fellow gym rats! I have yet to see a gym where the patrons take as much pride in the place as the people that run it. Equipment is always placed back where it belongs (most of the time) and cleaned off. People are extremely friendly and willing to help each other out. That is my biggest concern in all the gyms I have visited. Everyone is out to help each other improve themselves. Very good community gym Cons: Only gripe I have is the placement of the scale. Would love to see it outside the unisex bathroom. Will continue to utilize this Picayune Gem!

So this is my first review of a gym, typically review restaurants which looking down at my waistline, this is where I need to be. I signed up via the website Dec 2021 and a few phone calls to the establishment to ask some simple questions relating to finances and membership pricing. I was provide the information, the representative that I spoke to was professional and was able to answer my question and articulate it in a manner in which I understood. Kept an eye on the progress of construction so it gave me a general idea when they will open. Got a nice card in the mail welcoming me, then I got a phone call to setup an initial tour and the onboarding process. Scheduled my appointment and showed up to a very sleek, clean facility. A couple of smiles and 1 employee opened the door for me, took my breathe away. As I stepped in the place was inviting, no blaring music and a little casual conversations going on. I can hear some go-getters getting some in one f the saunas. That's awesome because that will be me soon, hopefully no loud yelps of despair. I was helped by Monique (hope i spelt that correctly), what a wonderful lady. Very professional, clearly briefed me on the agenda then down to the nitty gritty of policies and a quick electronic signature of acceptance. After the paperwork, they gave me the keys to castle (trumpets sounding) actually I got the WiFi password which to some children is their lifeline. I was kindly introduced to another associate who was able to set up 2 phones apps, one to unlock the front door during un-attended hours and the other to book sessions, track calories, and develop a plan to take first place in the local eventually global leaderboard. What better way to meet your fitness goals than to have a fun challenge with like minded people. After the technology setup, i was given a tour of the facility. Going over the use of the sauna, location of the equipment based exercises and the none equipment rooms, restroom with shower and additional restroom, kettle bells and dumbbells, rack and a vending machine for snacks beverages and keys to towels should you forget one. So folks that wraps up my review of joining this Gym you may experience something else so go ahead an give it shot and make your own assessment of it. Look for my upcoming reviews, i thinking making a review of each exercise they provide and a few tips on what I do to maximize my experience. Be blessed, be safe and remember, you don't look the way you do over one night.

Let's get this out of the way. Freedom Fitness is hands down the best small gym in the area…read more What it is: A family owned gym that offers all the equipment you can expect from a big gym, but in a little package. There are two rooms, the main cardio/large weight equipment room and another room with all the extra goodies like kettle bells, TRX bands, battle ropes, etc. What I love the most about this gym is that it is never crowded. I have never waited for a machine or a set of weights. I have actually been the only person in the gym numerous times. They also have classes which are held in the little room. They have a strength training type of class with the owner, Jay. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like it has a cult following. They also have Spinning now, which I am a big fan of. They have two different teachers, and convienent times (morning or night). Both teachers are excellent. What it isn't: This is not your big box, crowded gym where there are 100's of people sweating all over each other. If you have experienced one of those, you know what that entails. Those big gyms have perks (child care, big class schedule, fancy locker rooms), but they come at a price (literally and figuratively!) Freedom Fitness is a welcoming place for people of all types of workout phases. You have grandma strolling on the treadmill in her khaki pants, to the big body builder types pushing 400 pounds on the chest press, and everyone in between. The owners are a nice family who know you by name. The gym is super clean, and everything is always in perfect working order. The only con - there is a pizza place next door! =)

This is a wonderful facility that is clean and welcoming. It is small in size but actually has…read moreeverything you need to get a great workout. There is an open room for rope exercise and there is even a shower/changing room. For the price you simply cannot beat this place. Last and most importantly is the family that owns this place..... they are very kind, courteous, respectful and all around the nicest people I have ever dealt with. I'm in my second year as a member here and look forward to many years to come!

If you are a Silver Sneakers member thru your medical insurance, they will only let you go at the most inconvenient times so you don't get in their priority members way, Unless you agree to PAY THEM an extra $20 a month fee. And watch out for their $3.00 credit card payment fees. If you say that you will pay in CASH, They will tack on a $5.00 fee and call it a NET(Non Electronic Transfer) fee.
