Where Locals Work Out: Best [15] Gyms and Fitness Centers in New Orleans, LA

Janelle Urbano This gym may be small, but it has everything you could need for a good workout! It’s always clean and I love that it’s open 24 hours making it convenient to your schedule. I highly recommend this gym for anyone looking for a good neighborhood gym!

kei lin One of the best facilities I’ve ever been in. The owner and instructor/trainer is very attentive!! He’s very dedicated to you and his craft. Everything you can ask for in a trainer plus more! If you are looking for someone to motivate you and help you on your wellness journey this is the place.

Gabrielle Ingram I love attending classes at The Barre Code in Lakeview! I’ve truly enjoyed the variety of classes offered at The Barre Code. I really like taking Ashley’s barre class. For more of a cardio workout, I like taking Megan’s and Danielle’s brawl classes! The instructors are amazing and each workout is extremely well taught.

Sophisticated Thread Prime Fitness RX CBD is one of the best workout facilities the city has to offer. The space equipped for all fitness levels, and features an elite e-gym program that gives you a personal training experience/program to keep you motivated and on track with your fitness goals. They also have virtual classes 24/7, which gives me the opportunity to change up my weight routines/workouts with Les Mills HITT classes, yoga, or spin. The space is new, beautiful, and well maintained. As an active member, I really enjoy the opportunity to workout daily in an awesome gym with one of the best views in the city!

Marc Ortega I only go here for eskrima. Did 3 classes this week and the instructor, James Wilson, is great! Although, I wish the schedule for weekdays started earlier. As well as adding more classes for the weekend.

David Adams - Cobalt Consulting LLC 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 cant call hotel fitness setups "gyms") Worth a visit. $39 got me a 3-day guest pass, they have showers, lockers, and the mens locker room had a dry sauna as well. Highly recommend.

Fleur Marty We dropped in at Lagniappe Fitness 3 times during our visit to Nola and had a great experience each time. Everyone made us feel welcomed, the coaches were great and the workouts fun! Definitely recommended :)

Joanna Paz Such a lovely family owned gym! It has everything you would need and is never too crowded. The owner, Hudson, is incredibly helpful and nice. He really makes it a non-intimidating environment as gyms can sometimes be. Super easy to sign up online and the rates are the most reasonable in the area. Also has month to month membership which is super helpful if you’re not in the area for that long. The women’s locker room even has free toiletries which I always appreciate. Very happy I found this gem!

Daniel Luke I had a great experience today at the Hilton health club… This is a first class facility and I had a great workout… The best thing about it was the experience with the staff, GP was the greatest, he attended to every need and saw that everything was perfect! I will be back…

Briana Tart I’ve been working out with Mack since 2013 when we was getting it in at City Park. I’m so proud to see how far he’s come and seeing his vision come to life. He is by far the best trainer I’ve had yet. He really keeps you motivated, and you see REAL results. I’ve been off for 2 years due to pregnancy, and coming back feels like I never left. I dropped 26 pounds in 2 months. I’m starting to gain my strength back, I’m looking better, and I’m feeling better.. When you step foot in that gym the vibe alone gets you going.. He’s also involved with the community and helping these kids become our greater future. It’s only up from here, because he’s definitely a blessing not only to me but to the community as well.

Amelia Ferguson Its an okay facility but they need more squat machines and/or a separate bench press area. They only have 2 and as a busy mom who is trying to get in and out the gym sometimes, its discouraging when I cant get to the machine I need.

Mario Ivan Juarez-Garcia Great place. I’ve been a member almost two years. Very kind, serious, and honest people. The equipment is not super new but clean and perfectly functional. You can easily cancel or freeze your account with no questions asked. If you are looking for a classic workout in Uptown, this is the place.

Chad Mullen I did a few day passes while here for vacation - easy process, nice gym, friendly crowd. Bring your own hand towel!

Fangzhi Z. I visited the gym during a trip. It was very easy to get a day pass through the owner. While the gym is not particularly huge, it has everything you need for a good workout. The day pass is $25 as of May 2025. The facility is very clean and well-maintained. If you’re visiting, make sure to call their number before coming in case the door is locked.

Liza A My favorite local gym! Instructors are super nice - they always remember you / your name. Classes are easily to book online on mindbody or classpass. If youre new to town, check out those apps and you can take a class to try out the gym.
