This is such a great gym! I was there for 3 months from Denver Colorado ( a city where boutique…read morefitness gyms are the norm and the prices range from 150-300 a month). This gym is the opposite of that crap. It is reasonably priced and no weird hidden fees or restrictions, equipment is in great condition, staff is super nice and the access code allowed me to go whenever works for my schedule. I loved this gym so much and was sad to leave it. Is this type of business model for gyms old school? If so - lets bring it back! Thank you 504 fitness! If i move back to nola, i will absolutely come back :) Cheers , Deanna

I am a beginner to the gym workout life. I've always worked out at home with the little equipment…read morethat I have such as bands, free weights, and running around the neighborhood. I used to be a part of a commercial gym prior to joining PFRX. It was one of those gems that were always clean, had a nice inexpensive monthly rates, and many many machine options. The problem for me was, that every time I went, I had to wait a turn or alter my workout due to the lack of availability of machines. I found that when I would be able to work out I had to somewhat rush myself through my workout because people would always ask me how many more reps do I have left. So I begin to venture out and look for another gym home one that could accommodate all of my needs. That is what PFRX has done for me. There are friendly and knowledgeable staff during staffing hours, location is always clean, if I have any questions on how to use a machine properly during staff hours, someone is happy to help me. They have trainers available. And most importantly for me, they aren't as crowded as your commercial gyms, which allows me the access to mini machines, and to be able to get a workout in without someone asking am I using this machine or how many reps do I have left? For me, those are huge factors! Now, yes, this is not a commercial gym and the price is very reasonable when you are investing in your health and wellness. I am truly enjoying my time at PFRX and I am really looking forward to our relationship in the coming years. Oh wait! I didn't mention the variety of machines and services they have. Wanna know, book your tour! You won't be disappointed.

They showed me around, answered my questions and did not treat me like I was going to be a blight on their property because I was not 25 years old and in great shape. Truly, they are there to help you not make it a pick up spot. I requested a personal trainer and was lined up with one for the very next day at a time that I picked. I was asked a lot of questions by the trainer as to what I was looking for and she focused on those techniques to help me achieve my goals. It has wipes all over so you can clean the machines after you use them and it never smells bad. The staff is always smiling and seem to be in a good mood when I come in. I'm so happy I kept looking.

Re: COVID-19 operations and safety practices…read more I gotta slow clap for y'all because I am loving the new implementation of the appointments online and how serious the JCC is taking COVID-19. Members of JCC Uptown are able to book appointments up to three days in advance for one hour block sessions. Everyone has to wear a mask upon entry and get your temperature checked. Per their constant email communications all members must arrive ready to workout (lockers are only available for bathrooms so no showers or storage purposes) and bring in your own towel and water bottle. They allow no more than 7 people at a time in the cardio room and around 8/9 in the weights room. Within the cardio room every other machine is shut down to practice social distancing. You'll also find plenty of marked disinfected and used cleaning sprays so you can wipe your machine before and after. Their team also cleans the machines CONSTANTLY. Like I seriously would get off the cardio machine wipe it down, just to then see them wipe it down again themselves. I feel safe coming here and appreciate there isn't a crazy occupancy capacity happening right now. TAKE MY MONIES. *Just know you will have to sign a waiver the first time you initially go during COVID-19, because liability and lawsuits ya know...
