Recently tried Hour Blast for the first time via ClassPass and so glad I did! It's a great workout…read moreand offers something different from other workout classes I've tried. First, if you're a first-timer, I'd recommend checking their social media pages or emailing the studio (they're super fast via email) to ask about the format of the class. Each class is different and some are better for beginners -- it's a very structured workout and can be kind of confusing if you're new to it. In every class, you spend some time on the treadmill and some time on the floor doing various exercises. My class was structured so that there were two shifts of people, half on the treadmills and half on the floors, and then we'd switch. The instructor gives instructions for both sessions simultaneously (this must be a hard class to instruct -- lots to keep track of!). On the treadmills, you spend a minute at a specific speed and incline and then you'll get new instructions. The instructor will give options for beginning/intermediate/expert and you can choose the incline/speed you want. On the floor, the exercises are all sorts of strength building movements. The class I went to was resistance focused, so we used resistance bands in every activity. It's definitely very fast-paced and takes some getting used to, and it was hard, but it also doesn't feel endless since the time periods are so specific and you're usually doing one specific exercises for one minute maximum. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the studio itself is very small and wasn't as clean as many other fitness studios -- the ground was a little dirty and the water cooler needed cleaning.

I love hourblast!!!! This is the best work out there is! The only gripe I have is that sometimes…read morethey book too many girls in a class & it's hard to maneuver between people for the floor exercises. They shouldn't put certain exercises next too each or allow too many people to be on the floor so it's not constant bumping into each other. Also, it would be nice if they swept the floors more. Or at least in between classes. I hate doing planks, push ups etc. with peoples hair all over. Yuck!!

I started working out at Flambeaux in October with 1-1 sessions with one of the owners, Missy. I…read morewould consider myself an athletic person, but was coming into those workouts at the heaviest I've ever been and never having had any weight lifting/training experience. Missy took the time to get to know me and my goals, then plan workouts that would address that and provide me with the general knowledge to be able to engage in class confidently, when I was ready. After two months of 1-1, I gained muscle and confidence, as well as lost weight since I was also doing owner Dillon's nutrition challenge at the same time. I'm now four total months in and I can say it's one of the best decisions I've ever made for my mental and physical health. Overall, I've developed better eating habits (thx Dillon!) and am excited to go to the gym each day simply to be in community (truly, truly an inclusive one). What I love most about Flambeaux is the community and the support, regardless of when you enter ability wise. When you're in class, you will see all different types of bodies and the coach catering to each person's individual needs while still holding high standards. I truly could not recommend the owners, the program or the gym community highly enough!

Having been in-and-out of the workout scene for a while now, I can definitely say with confidence…read morethat Flambeaux Fit has revived my interest in strength-training and the like. I used to do crossfit at another gym a couple years ago, but it was getting to be too $$$. Flambeaux Fit is arguably much more affordable than your other crossfit gyms and offers a wonderful community of people, intense workouts, and encouragement from friendly (yet stern) coaches. I've been going for close to a month now, and I am so, so happy I did the damn thing and joined! One of my favorite things about this gym and the people is that they make it a point to be inclusive. You won't ever feel like you have to tip-toe your way around anyone at the gym which was a major factor in my decision on signing up. Going to the gym is supposed to excite you (even if the workout sounds dreadful) instead of having you doubling over with anxiety because you might find yourself overly self-conscious. I am looking forward to where this gym takes me and furthering my relationships with the other members. Make sure to check this place out if you're interested in starting up your fitness era and continuing it someplace new!

Coach Leo, Jordan, and Neil are so great, always encouraging, supportive, and willing to help with anything you need. The classes are super efficient, packing a lot into just 45 minutes, and the format is always changing so it never gets repetitive. I've genuinely noticed myself getting stronger, and I leave every workout feeling great. Couldn't recommend more!

A fridge with drinks is honor system too with water for a dollar. No onerous forms to fill out to avoid liability and no sales pitch. Owner was there and very nice. He has an adorable little dog that follows him around. Facility clean and has all the equipment you would need. Lots of aerobic machines. Guests friendly. It's not a spa. Ladies room so-so. It was clean tho. Free towels. I like that they have towels for cleaning equipment rather than wipes or paper towels. Will make this my go to gym when visiting NOLA in future.

It's an awesome no-frills gym for an unbeatable price…read more I used to go here when I lived nearby and hired a personal trainer (Coach Los and Tatyana - I think they may have moved since). It was the first time I learned how to use all of the machines, lift weights properly, and target specific areas. They even placed me in a small group for training when money was running tight. Everyone knew my name and gave me a warm welcome when I walked in. Coach Los and Tatyana truly changed my life by teaching me how to work out. My entire body changed and at first, I got extremely nervous because I got so muscular that my old clothes didn't fit anymore! But they talked me through it and explained that I was gainly much needed muscle and that gaining weight in my case was not a bad thing. I am so strong now and continue to use the techniques I learned from them when I lift. When I take flights and see someone struggling to get their luggage in the overhead, I just grab it and throw it up for them like I'm the Hulk!!!! : )

Cleanliness is always a priority at this gym and it shows. They open pretty late on the weekends at 8am but otherwise the hours are late enough to accomodate most needs.

I tried this gym out when looking for a place to join. They got back to me promptly and offered to let me try out one of their classes that I was interested in. 6am spinning isn't for everyone but I love it! The instructor was very helpful and lead the small class through a really well rounded workout. I really enjoyed it and I liked that the class wasn't packed. The gym never seems to be packed either which is good because it really is only one room. They have a lot of equipment and two class rooms but thats it. There isn't a locker room just a large bathroom and a second one with a small shower. It's on the second floor above CC's so street parking can be an issue. Overall I thought this place was great but I was looking for a bit more. Had the monthly fee been cheaper I would have considered joining just for the spin classes... but its quite expensive and I just didn't think that it was the best fit for me. Good gym if you just need a place to work out and go and don't mend spending some money doing that.

I was only in town for a few days and wanted a gym to workout at. I called Salvation Studio and…read moreRusty was very helpful and welcoming. I could use the gym and take classes for $20 a day. I went on a Saturday morning and took the Les Mills Body Pump class and the Body Combat class. I have done Body Pump at my gym and was very comfortable with this class. The instructor did an excellent job and the class was pretty full but there was plenty of room to workout. I had never done Body Combat but I have done Kick boxing. Loved the Body Combat class. Not quite as many people but a high energy class. Salvation Studio was easy for me to get to from where we were staying right out of the French Quarter by taking the bus. It dropped me off almost right in front of the studio. Excellent workout, nice people working there.

I love that they are a tight-knit community that still manages to be so incredibly warm and welcoming towards new folks (like myself). They even do a monthly free workout called their "Friends and Family Day." I've been going to a gym for about a year and a half now 5x a week but was looking for something different that could challenge me and make me sweat. Vitality has been exactly that thing! They have 30 minute and hour workouts depending on what your preference is (30 mins is HIIT and 1 hr is more about strength and conditioning). All the trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and are awesome at pushing you and motivating you. I also like that they work with you on perfecting your form while doing exercises and movements so you prevent injury/maximize your effectiveness. I don't have great knees and when I let the trainers know that, they did a great job at modifying some of the exercises so I could still get a great workout in while remaining safe. They gym is super clean and they have tons of equipment that is in good condition. I also love how LGBTQ friendly the gym is which is a huge deal to me. This truly is a gym that is inclusive and for everyone!
