Fully equipped gym, some of the cardio is a little old but certainly gets the job done. The weights area is great and there are heaps of machines to use, you can have a great workout and nice view of the city.

Accept casual visitors, water, free towel use which is very useful. Good value for a day pass at only $16.50, staff were friendly also. We didn't use the change rooms.

Was a little hard to find, we entered from building 333 and the gym is on level 3 near the cinema.

I have a lot of gripes with this gym and the ownership. I was looking for a personal trainer and was referred to people with no prior experience that work at the gym. A certification is nice, but if you have zero experience I don't understand how I could expect to get results with people who don't know what theyre doing and pay a premium for it. Frankly it's a money grab ($60/hr for trainers with no experience), not a gym that has legitimiate offerings. Also 70% of their equipment is from the 80s. Not a high quality, modern gym. Sorry, foam blocks and fitness bands don't count as modern. Don't waste the money on a membership here unless running and free weights is all youre looking to utilize.

Was in town for a convention over five days. Went here (located on third floor of building) and bought a three day pass. It was a punch card...so I didn't need to use the three days consecutively, which I thought was wonderful.

They had all the machines and weights I needed. Great place. Friendly staff. Busy place, but not too busy.

If you're in town for a convention, definitely stop here if you need a place to keep on track with your fitness journey and goals. Open 6-9 M–F. And 9–5 Sat. and Sun.

A fully equipped gym on the edge of the French Quarter, right across the street from Caesars. The staffff is friendly and helpful, and they offer day passes at reasonable rates, which is awesome for people who travel and hate hotel workout rooms (I can't call hotel fitness setups "gyms")

Worth a visit. $39 got me a 3-day guest pass, they have showers, lockers, and the men's locker room had a dry sauna as well. Highly recommend.

Great gym for travelers, I was able to buy a three day pass for while I was visiting New Orleans. The gym has an old school feel which is kinda cool.

W great gym, love the metal plates and the overall size/style of the gym. Front desk dude was super chill and we are allowed to do deadlifts (staff seems to understand that not slamming the weight on deadlifts is hard)which is very cool!! Only issue I had was that the ham curl machine had a pin that was stuck (couldn’t adjust seat and stuff)

Visiting New Orleans from Florida and came in on a day pass. The gym is clean and the machines and equipment are in great shape. This place is a gem 💎. Has a retro feel which is super cool and refreshing. I also want to give thanks to the man that worked the front desk with the sun visor hat. He was great helping me with parking and giving me some tips about the city . I will be back again!

The perfect option for visitors wanting to keep up their workout while staying in New Orleans. Super convenient location minutes from the French Quarter. $16 for a day pass, or multiple day passes at a slight discount. Packed with old but immaculately maintained Nautilus equipment, tons of free weights, benches, cardio equipment, Smith machine + studio space to stretch. Super clean. Great views over Canal Street. Free coffee, towel service and dry sauna included in the price. Tina & Bill at reception were both helpful and super friendly. Many thanks! 🙏

Conveniently located just over half of a mile from my hotel, this gym was perfect for a traveler because they offered a day pass for only $16. Also, the gym had all of the machines or equipment that I needed and everything was clean, including the locker room.

I received an email my membership was past due and was threatened with collections. I don't live in New Orleans and never stepped foot into this place. I called the number on the email and the man was so rude/threatening. I told him to file the collection today as I refuse to be bullied. I filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and will proceed with all legal avenues. Stay away from this business and their unprofessional bully tactics.

Staff at this location are incredibly rude. Came in this afternoon at 4:45 to grab a quick shower before our next appointment. RAY decided he "didn't want to risk staying open past 5" and tried to refuse entry. We just wanted a towel to rinse off quickly. RAY then tried to tell us we were required to work out if we wanted to use the shower. Excuse me? Show me where it says in the membership agreement we're required to work out to use the facilities. If I want to go in and stretch out or sit in the sauna for a few minutes, as paying members, we're within our rights to do this. RAY was on a major power trip and tried to refuse entry just because he felt lazy. If this was a white manager refusing entry to a black kid, it would be front page news and this gym would be sued into bankruptcy. It is illegal to refuse entry to a paying member while you're still open. I have always been polite, clean, and never created an extra minute of work for anyone at this gym. Hostile staff like RAY who are on a power trip should find another job rather than hassling customers, otherwise, you will wind up in court.

I'm bad about names, but the staff was very helpful & accommodating. I wasn't expecting to be here long enough to get a 2nd workout in, but here I am. I LOVE the old school Nautilus pullover machine, maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it's that I'm super close to being able to do the entire stack, either way, it's one of the most underrated & effective back exercises. I'm trying to start doing a different workout style with High Intensity Training, Mike Mentzer Rest Pause approach, & it requires assistance from either a training partner, friendly gym goer, or staff.

Staff & a friendly gym goer hooked me up today so I could hit the negative repetitions on the pullover machine. The gym is clean, it has everything you would need to get a good workout in. They also took care of me with a reduced rate as a veteran, that's always appreciated, especially with our current economy.

Good to have options for when I come to town, glad I shopped around to find a spot close to everything with good folks working & working out there!

Really nice gym! I was in town for a week so their pass system is great. The equipment is old fashion but really
complete (better than many gyms), lots of space and weights, never crowed. The staff are super friendly, will definitely return when I come again in Nola!!

I didn’t go to this gym, but yesterday I was heading to the restroom in the hallway next to the gym by the food court. It was around 11:30am and the mall didn’t open till noon. I noticed a suspicious man at the end of the hall leaning on the wall looking into a glass that showed where the fitness classes take place. There was a class taking place at the time and there was mostly women in the class. The glass is mostly frosted so it’s difficult to see in but on the edges of the glass it’s clear and you can peek in.

The man was right by the Womens restroom and made me feel uneasy and was telling my husband and I the restroom was right in front of us but that was only the Mens restroom. I decided not to go and wait on my husband. As I was waiting, I was watching this man and noticed he was peeking into the fitness class looking at the women and touching himself inappropriately. He noticed I was watching him and abruptly left.

I went inside the gym to tell the person at the front desk. He appeared to be one of the owners. He told me the class is walled off and people cannot look inside. And I explained to him it’s frosted glass with clear edges so you can see in. I did say the guy left and the person responded “ok as long as he left”. Personally I didn’t feel like he cared that much. If I was attending that class and saw that man outside doing that I would feel violated. What if I wasn’t there and the guy stayed the whole time and followed those women to their cars/homes?

The man that left eventually came around near me to pick up his gloves he left on a table and was looking at me. He then proceeded down the escalators and continued looking at me. I noticed he didn’t have his long jacket covering him this time. I think that glass needs to be covered and people should be on the lookout for people peeping in.

First, I being in the service, and the day filling Veteranbs’ day, asked for a discount. No! I was charged $16 for my entrance... Then, the owner was rude to a Latino family and perspective customers; because, they had children, stating “I will call security.” Then, the machines are from 1980’s, a few not denoting the weights of each plate. One pin came off in my hand; whereas, the owner jokingly stated, “ you broke it...” I promptly mentioned the apoxy remaining on the previously broken pin. The establishment is a dated cash cow for the hotels in the area. It’s most marketable attribute is it provides day passes, and many of its competition does not. When I said I would be posting this reference, the owner demanded I leave immediately. He did give me a refund.
