New Orleans Athletic Club

Long story short? Great place if you can afford it. Let me be clear, this is NOT a gym for you if you're low income.It's a good gym with tons of equipment, trainers and even a bar. The staff is very courteous. Plenty of free classes all run by dedicated professionals in their respective fields.**On the other hand, make sure that you can afford it and also that you read the fine print.**Currently, they're trying to withdraw from my account even though I don't have the money and when I tried to explain the situation they shrugged their shoulders, told me the system was automated and it was out of their hands.When I said I wanted to just cancel my membership, they said I couldn't cancel until November. When I asked if I could suspend it, the response was that I could 1) if my account was current 2) if I was willing to owe them for all the months my account was suspended (and you can only opt to suspend it for 6 months).And if you're a businessman looking to put a hold on their membership whilst traveling abroad who regards $300 as pocket change and views the gym as just another luxury, that's fine. If you're part of the $10-15 per hour crowd who fell on hard times, not so much. And they will not work with you.I have nothing against the staff or the place personally and will continue to use it as much my schedule will allow me to...not like I have a choice...but make sure you know what you're getting into. It's a rich man's gym and if you're not in that socio-economic bracket I strongly advise against joining.

A member for over 3 years now. Stress free, humble gym with all the amenities, and classes you could ask for. Covid-19 safety protocols set in place make me feel super safe, and comfortable working out during this time.

This gym was only designed to service the rich and wealthy of New Orleans they do not compromise on any level And any sense of community or membership is 100% fabricated. I paused my account during Covid during a pandemic when it was unsafe to go to Jim’s and not only did they continue to charge me they sent a $1000 bill to collections and canceled my membership without trying to contact me once these people are crooks

The club has done everything reasonable to male this a safe environment during COVID. As before, the equipment is excellent and there seems to be plenty of space for effective social distancing.

Tori Scott, was un-unstanding of my spinal injury, then refused to acknowledge that I moved states. She refused to get me an email of a manager for me to speak to and insulted my intelligence and competence. Everything else about this place is great the Trainer's, the recruitment staff, the facility.

Fantastic gym. Whether it's wine after yoga, jazzercise in a historic ballroom, or running a treadmill under a crystal chandelier the amenities are just as spectacular as the building

I call it the fitness palace! I love all the separate spaces and rooms. Love that there's a woman's only room. Sauna and steam room are a bonus. I also find the atmosphere very LGBT friendly. I would spend all day here if I could.

I've been a member for about 5 years. Sometimes can get crowded and isn't necessarily designed for serious weightlifters, but the charm and aesthetics of the gym completely outshine these downfalls. Whenever I tell my guests they should come visit my gym, they raise an eyebrow. When they see the gym itself they can't believe it, and it is consistently one of the favorite stops. Truly a special place.

Very aesthetically pleasing place with great machines. A little on the expensive side but the location and amenities make it well worth it. There's a women's only weight room, a beautiful marble pool, a sauna and a steam room (both closed at the moment for Covid-19), workout classes in a ballroom,a bar, an inhouse spa. It's lovely place to get in shape. I was worried about cultural diversity but members appear to be ver which is fine in my opinion.diverse if not on the old/middle age side

I love my membership with NOAC! The staff are always the best! The gym is kept very tidy and the diversity of members make it a comfortableplace to work out. The people that left bad reviews are silly... yes the building is historic and I suppose has a “smell” which I find to be inoffensive and even somewhat pleasant. Anybody that has an issue with a buildings “smell” might be better suited for the suburban sprawl. Also, NOAC is a membersOnly club so I am sorry tourists this is not the place for you which why as a native this is the place for me! ;) NOAC is 100% worth it.
