Vanguard Fitness

I've been a proud member of this gym since the day it opened its doors, and it has been an incredible fitness journey. Tommy and David's passion for fitness is infectious, and their coaching style is both effective and enjoyable. Workouts that might seem intimidating become exciting challenges under their guidance. But what truly makes this gym feel like a second home is the workout group. Over the years, I've built incredible friendships with fellow members. We motivate, encourage, and celebrate each other's achievements. It's more than just working out together; it's a camaraderie that makes every visit memorable.Since day one, this gym has maintained its commitment to excellence. The facilities are top-notch, clean, and well-maintained. The equipment is always in great condition, and there's a wide variety to suit all fitness levels and preferences. I can't emphasize enough how much I cherish this place. Going to this gym has become a cherished part of my routine and my life. The friendly team members, the incredible coach, and the amazing workout group have turned this gym into not just a fitness center but a true community.If you're in search of a gym where you're not just another member but a valued part of a fitness family, look no further. I've been here since day one, and I wouldn't have it any other way. This place is a true gem in the world of fitness, and I can't recommend it enough!

If you want to get in incredible shape, this is the gym to go to.I used to lift here back when it was GeauxFit 3 years ago, and was "eh" at CrossFit, but I loved the hour workouts since it's do-able on any schedule. I moved away with work and got into powerlifting, but when I had to come back to New Orleans for 2 weeks and needed a gym, I decided to check it out again.One of the owners, David, was super awesome and offered me a free pass to come check out a class and even offered me a great deal on a 2 week open gym membership (thank you!). I was happy to see that a lot of the gym members from prior had stayed so the environment is still very much the same fun camaraderie. Just my luck, my intro back into CrossFit was one of the open workouts 23.3 (it was a doozy). I got lucky and the head coach, Thomas, was the coach for the class I attended, and he was a SAINT for putting up with me dying at the simplest of workouts and helping me scale to things I could manage. So for those people who might be nervous about trying it for fear of looking weak or out of shape, you shouldn't fear this gym, they'll work with you and get you caught up (although maybe check that it's not the opener before you show up LOL).I love that they work with you through the motions, have an awesome warm-up that is a workout in and of itself, and like I said, if you're serious about getting into great shape this is the gym for you! Thank you Vanguard for an awesome experience.

I used to go to this place before they changed owners. The new owner did a lot of upgrades to the place, but unfortunately lacks charisma, organization and also individual help when a new member comes in.I was really lost on how coach Tommy was teaching. There were no demonstrations or even questions after workout to see if i wanted to become a member again. He was honestly a lot more worried about the women there. I used to love this place, the people were so nice and inviting. Don’t waste your time here if you want to start your weight loss or muscle building journey.

I became a member of Vanguard Fitness about a month ago. I am a 51 year old woman that has never worked out in my life. I have worked with both Tommy and David. They are both very attentive to my needs and lack of knowledge. Both have made me feel confident in doing things that are totally out of my comfort zone. If someone is looking to start the journey into CrossFit, Vanguard is definitely the place to start.

Really great programming and top notch coaching! Every coach coaches with full attention and intention that you get the best of your workout that matches your potential no matter your skill level. Years and years of knowledge and experience between them all, there isn't a goal they can't help you with. During the pandemic I struggled with finding my love and drive for fitness no matter how consistent I tried to stay. But once I stepped into the doors here, that passion started to return. Excited for the future of Vanguard!

I absolutely love this Box and Community! The Staff is top-notch and truly care about their members - you will not find better coaching anywhere else. So glad I joined!

Vanguard Fitness stole my heart! The programming is absolutely incredible, the coaches practice what they preach and instill their knowledge into every single person they come across. You can feel the energy as soon as you walk into this miraculous gym! It’s so big, it’s the cleanest gym I’ve ever been in (and I’ve been to many). The members are awesome. No matter your fitness level, this gym provides everything you need to become your best self. Everything is top notch. From the programming, the flow of class, nutrition coaching, personal training time, etc. They have an in-body scan which is also a great tool and resource if you are looking to dial in your nutrition and see your body stats. In conclusion, if you are looking for a new gym or if you are dropping in while on vacation — this is where you want to be!— Victoria N.

The facility here is HUGE. It’s well organized, clean, and you won’t have to share equipment as there are ample amounts of whatever is needed for the workout.Best part? The coaches are FANTASTIC. They’re knowledgeable, motivating, and are looking to help you be your best self always. If you’re looking to progress in the gym- whether it be your form, nutrition, or anything in between- Vanguard is the place to be!HIGHLY recommend
