Ochsner Fitness Center - Metairie

Fantastic experience: This place is definitely one of my favorits. The facility has multiple pools, a hot tub and a plunge. The workout rooms are well equipped too.

Fantastic experience: Just about every type of workout is available.

Negative experience: Billed me after cancellation for military orders. Go to a military friendly gym instead.

Negative experience: Not worth the $140 + a month for 2 people. It's so small and cramped it feels oppressive. Tiny pool. Tiny space. The equipment is lacking. The locker room is so heavily deodorized that I almost have an asthma attack every time I walk in. Horrid elevator that only works sometimes. Parking is an issue. We also did not receive my husband's Veteran's discount. Do yourself a favor... Find a better gym. We did. This place is just awful.

Negative experience: Went to this gym for many years. Was on a first name basis with the staff and loved a lot of the members here. I cancelled my membership about a year ago, but they instead put my account on pause in which my membership was reactivated months later. I did not get any notifications for this, no emails/no texts, nothing. I finally realized I was being charged months later, so I called to get my money back. They make you get in touch with the Harahan location, in which they have clearly been instructed to try and just ignore whoever calls for billing. Tried to get in touch for weeks, and then it was just braindead responses from them.

Negative experience: This location is getting worst everyday this is a infrastructure and equipments complain the staff is really good here and pretty much in every location… but equipments here are not update sauna is often out of service elevator also always with issues, ac now is broke and by the way no heater in winter…. and no notifications is send, waisting time. This is a pretty expensive gym for at least this location for what they have to offer.

Fantastic experience: If you want to exercise, you have no excuse.

Positive experience: Nice facility in a secure building, not too large and not intimidating. Friendly staff, clean and enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: Great place and staff are excellent

Negative experience: Closed all day Sunday. Strange choice.

Fantastic experience: Unfortunately the indoor swimming pool, hot tub, cold deep and sauna was closed due to remodeling, however it will all be reopened after the first of the year. The cafe/ juice bar has come a long way with healthy choice foods. The smoothies are excellent. The gym has an abundance of equipment, the running track upstairs is well laid out, racquetball courts are always busy, the outdoor pool is heated, the kids area is superb and the wellness/ massage area is outstanding. I was a member here years ago and since Ochsner Hospital has taken it over, they've added so much more. It has always been the preeminent health club in the city and continues to be so. The locker rooms/showers are well maintained. The gift shop is well stocked. There are more opportunities at this club than above mentioned! It's nice to be a Silver Sneakers member and no longer have to pay dues!!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome

Fantastic experience: Great quick spot for exercise

Fantastic experience: Great work out!

Positive experience: I want to know if it is a place open to the public or just for the building.

Fantastic experience: Greatly enjoying the club there is So Much to do and experience! I feel like a kid in a candy store!!! Staff Super Friendly & Helpful!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Very helpful. Nice sized gym with smaller indoor pool with steam room. However suana does not function well, very little heat in it.

Fantastic experience: The BEST GYM in Louisiana... I always look forward to my visits here.

Fantastic experience: Good vibes and friendly service.

Positive experience: Always open ...24 hrs

Fantastic experience: Just joined here after being a member of Anytime fitness on the corner of Robert E Lee for 5 years. It’s a great experience, I forgot what a real gym felt like. Anytime Fitness had got so bad and I did not really realize it. So glad to be a member here.

Positive experience: First of all….the name is not Darlene. Please don’t send mail to my box with that.

Fantastic experience: I was there to see the place. I joined while there. They took Silver Sneakers. A nice young man took me on a tour. It had lots of treadmills and stationery bikes some recumbent. There was a pool not big enough for laps but there was a water exercise class in the pool. There was a weight room with cable machines and free weights. I was told they had dry and wet saunas,locker room, a spin room and a yoga area. It was well equipped. We got there at around 9 o'clock busy but room to get on the equipment. It seemed a little expensive if not for the Silver Sneakers. I plan to go back and try it soon.

Fantastic experience: Love the tidyness, order and management, great customer service

Fantastic experience: Dylin is the bomb.com!

Fantastic experience: love the classes! plus childcare

Fantastic experience: Best Metairie Fitness Center!

Fantastic experience: Great facility and awesome fitness instructors.

Fantastic experience: The staff are professional and the gym is always clean. Parking is easy and access to the gym allows me to workout when I want.

Fantastic experience: Once again, this fitness center surpasses my expectations. Friendly staff coupled with great equipment creates an excellent workout experience.

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best club in New Orleans!!

Positive experience: Good equipment, small pool if you want to swim. They seem to have a difficulty in enforcing mask wearing.

Fantastic experience: Great Place!

Fantastic experience: We workout here almost every week day. This place is wonderful.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in the world! The saltwater pool and yoga classes are my favorites. The hot tub and sauna are wonderful as well.

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to stay fit and healthy. Great staff and equipment.

Fantastic experience: We have been members since moving here and I have absolutely no complaints

Fantastic experience: Great classes, and love having a 24 hour gym that feels safe at night.

Fantastic experience: Metairie location is small but nice and clean. There's lots of equipment, a spin class room, yoga room, aerobics room, sauna, hot tub, and a pool. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is cable TV with bluetooth connectivity on equipment.

Fantastic experience: OFC’s Heritage Plaza location is convenient, clean, and has everything you need from 24 hour access to a variety of classes. It also offers personal training sessions, which I can not speak highly enough of. I’ve been training with Jason for over two years and I couldn’t be more pleased with his calculated workouts, flexibility in schedule, and plans he gives to be implemented on days where I am not training with him. Thankful I found Heritage Plaza and Jason!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at OCHSNER FITNESS CENTER for over ten years. I especially like the convenience of it because if I’m in a different part of the city working I have access to three different locations. Over the years I have taken several of their various different classes, spinning and body pump are my faves. But I recently, over the past couple of years, have had a wonderful trainer. Jason’s workouts always keep you guessing. No two sessions are ever alike and he’s completely unpredictable. This has been the key to my body finally changing. Jason is super sweet but he pushes you at the same time. It’s important to me to feel comfortable with my trainer and relaxed or else I would not continue. Overall I find OCHSNER FITNESS a well rounders club and they offer it all.

Fantastic experience: Easy to get to, Easy Parking, Professional, Friendly Staff & Trainers that are really thorough, they care about you and they follow up with you. Very happy with Ochsner Fitness Center. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: I train with Jason there and he’s getting me in shape. Place is clean and well maintained.

Fantastic experience: I work with Jason as my personal trainer who is easy to schedule, reliable, and understands what needs to be done in order to meet my goals. He keeps me accountable and on track!!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out with OFC trainer, Jason Seifried for 3 years. (1 year during pregnancy) I have been able to achieve results that I have not seen before when working with trainers at other gyms. Workouts are just challenging enough and never boring. If you are looking for results, I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Jason at the Heritage Plaza location. You will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Jason Seifried is an amazing personal trainer. I have been training with him for over a year, and train with him twice a week. I introduced myself to him because I was impressed with his approach and demeanor as he was training another client at the gym. Before we started, he asked about my goals and objectives. He created diverse, challenging workouts for me. I felt like I was never repeating the same exercise twice. I was so impressed to hear him describe his process for developing custom training sessions to meet my goals. It’s a partnership. I see accomplishment, and I feel supported. Ochsner provides a welcoming and safe atmosphere. I highly recommend Jason Seifried.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Jason for approximately a year and a half. He set up a regimen for me that we follow 3x per week as per my specific needs. It has been very effective in getting my definition back, endurance and strength . I would recommend it to anyone. I look forward getting up in the morning and spending time with him on zoom, during these difficult times during the pandemic.

Fantastic experience: I had a great workout over there yesterday.

Positive experience: It is a very nice gym located at the New Orleans end of Veterans Hwy in Heritage Plaza.

Positive experience: Nice workout center and atmosphere. Smaller than the Harahan facility but still plenty of exercise equipment, machines, and cardio machines. Newly redone floors in aerobic areas and brand new floors, equipment, and lighting in the class area. I have not frequented the Riding studio but it looks nice when opening the door. It has staffed hours but technically it is 24/7 with your Key card. If no staff is there it means no towels, pool, steam/sauna, hot tub, or shower

Fantastic experience: It’s a great place to workout. Friendly staff and great equipment. Trainers are very competent Ray Nolan

Fantastic experience: I have a wonderful personal trainer named Jason at this facility. I have been a client of his for over two years and he always keeps my workouts varied and fun. He has never cancelled a session and he is professional and knowledgeable .

Fantastic experience: Kayne Stewart is an awesome pilate teacher and I never miss her classes. OFC is lucky to have such an incredible,professional and helpful pilate teacher. The staff is always helpful and friendly. Deborah O.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and live the whirlpool sauna and steam room. And Medicare pays.

Fantastic experience: I visit Heritage Plaza at least 3 times a week. The Staff is very friendly and someone always greets me with a Smile when I sign in. On Tuesday evening, 2-4-20, there was a 'Pop-up' wine tasting. I enjoyed that special treat. Protein bar samples were also available. Raymond was our Host. Ochsner Fitness Center at Heritage Plaza is a great facility for my exercise routine. Cynthia S.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff. Quality amenities. Great place.

Fantastic experience: Love that this is a relatively small gym! Bright, clean, and helpful personnel to assist you in your workout.

Fantastic experience: They have everything you need to workout with

Fantastic experience: Everything you need in one place.

Positive experience: gym is nice and was not crowded at all for late morning. classes were not my speed. unfortunately the tripple threat was more senior inspired with some zumba like dance moves and only a short strength part. the yoga was fine for that day as I qas sore and needed a slow restorative flow. it too was senior inspired and did not have a sweat level component to it sobfor most times it would be too easy and slow for me. I would visit again but may skip classes there.

Fantastic experience: Mandy is a great body pump instructor!

Fantastic experience: Karen Scott makes Yoga fun and challenging at Heritage. Allison was most helpful at the club. Thanks so much

Fantastic experience: I love swimming here. I wish they would update some equipment but great atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Awesome establishment! Has everything I need and more! I love the environment and the members. I love to head to the sauna after my workouts. I brought a guest here and they loved it so much that they joined!

Fantastic experience: Triple Threat with Jenn Degier is great. Love her class

Fantastic experience: The best fitness center for my needs. 24 hour access and an excellent assortment of treadmills, free weights and exercise equipment. Not overly crowded, so I rarely wait for any usage of equipment.

Fantastic experience: The gym is always clean and ready for a workout I love all the staff they show a great amount of respect for each and every member.

Fantastic experience: It is a peaceful place. The staff are very kind and they are very helpful.

Fantastic experience: POOL RESERVATIONS PLEASE do not stop Pool Reservations at Heritage Plaza. We have only 3 lanes and for a first com first served basis one could wait quite awhile for a swim lane. Swimmers have a hard enough time trying to get a spot. I and others swim a mile, more or less, each session. Without lanes and times for swimmers our workouts are in jeopardy. Swimmers cannot share a lane. Please consider the swimmers before you make a decision about the pool. It is not just for aerobics. Swimmers are members too. Sincerely, Maureen O’Dwyer

Fantastic experience: Zach just showed me how to do this. Very helpful! Thank you :)

Fantastic experience: I was really satisfied with all information I received from Zach and I was very impressed by the way he helped me get started you can tell he really has a passion for helping people.

Negative experience: This place is a joke staff show up late equipment is old and broken the hot water is out most of the time the work out floor is dirty.The Manger is so disrespect and uncaring. They worker there came up to me a falsely blame for something I did not do .I will never go back to this place ever again. Do waste your time or money at this place.Also I talk with the head person Eddie he was a real jerk to me and the Mane supervisor Clayton would not even talk to me .

Fantastic experience: I went to the Metairie location. Everyone there was very professional and friendly! The facility & equipment were clean, and it was well-equipped. The only suggestion I have is to have more classes available at this location, and have class schedules easier to find for each location.

Positive experience: No outdoor

Fantastic experience: Top recommended one

Fantastic experience: ONE WORD GOD BLESS

Fantastic experience: Very good

Positive experience: 24 hr. Access.

Positive experience: They need new weight benches badly. And wish the locker rooms were open later. Otherwise, good gym.

Fantastic experience: Clean and stuff works.

Fantastic experience: Big and convenient.

Fantastic experience: Tons of exercise equipment, treadmills, stairs, spinning, free weights. Pool, sauna, locker, hot tub and showers. Really great staff.

Positive experience: I have been a member of the Main Campus since May of 2015 and just now got over to the Heritage Plaza Campus (which is indeed closer to my home). I have enjoyed the difference in the water classes with the touch of music, meeting new friends and enjoying the club for the past week. I would recommend this to everyone. When I am in the pool, I feel like I am on a Cruise ship with the 3 skylights above and looking out over the clouds. Relaxing and refreshing as well. The instructors are warm and very nice when taking the classes. My trainer from the Main Campus has even transferred over here. Good Luck to all!

Positive experience: Great satellite to the main campus fitness center. Good sized weight lifting area, and a good many treadmills as well. They even managed to fit a small pool and some sauna/steam rooms/hot tubs in as well. Child care is also offered, but the hours are a bit tighter than the Elmwood campus. Still, the staff is very friendly and courteous and seem to go out of their way to help. Love using this facility if I'm short on time to make it to Elmwood's main campus.

Positive experience: I come here quite often for my working out routine, although this place is much better than any other gym in a five mile radius its not quite as nice as the main campus for Elmwood fitness center, its definitely a great satellite branch though. Its got a small pool and plenty of space, weights and options for anyone trying to get a great workout in.

Fantastic experience: Great fitness center, we just joined I love treadmill, they've exercise classes people's are friendly, and I would recommend this center

Negative experience: I would not recommend this gym in the summer if you are an adult without and past the child bearing age. I just left the indoor lap pool that was filled with a family of 11 taking two lanes, dressed in their street clothes, not exercising, with small children, throwing soda bottles in the pool, NOT EXERCISING..... Not the atmosphere of anyone trying to improve their appearance and be in an athletic atmosphere of bettering your life.
