Fitness & Gyms in Baton Rouge, LA

“I LOVE Orangetheory!! I've had the best workouts of my life there! The coaches are great at what they do! My first class was with Head Coach Gretchen & I was blown away with how good it was! Gretchen always does Sunday run day & goes above & beyond in making it great every time! Lainey is awesome as well. She always makes sure I am working hard & makes sure my form is correct. I love that they show me what to do & how to do it! I also find that being in a group setting helps me to push myself harder. I enjoy having the heart rate monitors as well to show me where I'm at during my workout! It's super motivating & shows me how much more I am able to push myself than I think. The studio manager Sarah Ellen brings such a great energy. She is so kind & helpful & her member service goes above & beyond!! I would recommend Orangetheory to anyone trying to get in better shape & that would benefit from having a whole team of support in doing so! The owner, Sara has been such a light to be around as well! I got to hangout with her for an event they hosted with Recoop & I see why this location is thriving!! She is awesome & passionate about what she does. Hope this helps someone!! :)”

“I can't say enough good things about the amazing team at Arlington OTF! This past Tuesday, I experienced something pretty special. Traffic in Baton Rouge was insane—a 15-minute drive turned into a 50+ minute ordeal. I was beyond frustrated, knowing I would not only miss class but have to pay the cancellation fee too. But then, something extraordinary happened.

I received a call from Lynnika, who informed me that they were aware of the unusual traffic and encouraged me to continue coming in. By the time I arrived, I was 20 minutes late, but the team’s support made all the difference. As soon as I hopped on the rower, Lori (who is a coach but working out that particular session) saw me and quickly redirected me to start on the floor so I could end my workout on the treadmill, which is where I prefer to end my workouts. Meanwhile Gabby, the coach for the class, didn’t miss a beat and continued to instruct and motivate the group, even as people arrived at different times.

The teamwork, flexibility, and care they showed was beyond exceptional. A huge round of applause and a big shout out to the entire Arlington OTF team! It means a lot and is greatly appreciated!!! THANK YOU ALL!”

“Workouts are very diverse, individually challenging, fun, and really like the coaches enthusiasm making each and every workout a true experience; not just a workout.”

“I came to refuge aerial as a way to come out of my comfort zone and do something that looked really fun. This place definitely did that. Alaina was teaching us our intro to aerial class and she was beyond helpful and super nice. My husband and I did it together and had so much fun together! We will definitely back and I will be getting a membership. If you want to try something to get a little workout in over going to the gym this would be a great experience for anyone of any level of strength !”

“New manager was amazing, very informative, and kind. He was patient and made sure I knew what I was signing and what to expect from Anytime fitness. Highly recommend.”

“I love this location. Plenty of space out front for big trucks to park. The facility is nice, welcoming and clean. The young lady at the front desk was courteous and helpful with my tanning process.”

“Planet Fitness is a great place to exercise with non-judgmental good people. Get off the couch and join us at Planet Fitness to exercise and watch TV while burning calories on the ellipitical, treadmill, and/or bicycle! Experience the emotional high of achievement as you exit the facility…”

“Rejoin planet fitness the last six months. Their new location on Airline highway near Florida Boulevard exchange is convenient to a lot of people. However, I wish that whoever actually owns the building would resurface the whole parking lot. It is completely pitted with holes. Several attempts of filling in the holes, but with the amount of traffic this location gets they just pop up again and it's like driving through a whack-a-mole course. Don't think I can blame planet fitness themselves for this problem, it's my understanding from talking to the staff that they just lease the building and the owners are responsible for the parking lot. It's a shame, it really takes away from the pleasure of visiting this location.

Oh, and I miss Donald the trainer. I was told that he had moved out of town, but he was super friendly and helpful whenever I had questions and even went out of the way to help fix minor issues with some of the machines when the cables would get snagged so they didn't have to put in a maintenance order which took put in a maintenance order which otherwise would take weeks to get the piece of equipment back in operation. Since Donald left there is a leg lift machine that has been out of service for 2 and 1/2 weeks and no update from the staff as to when it's going to get fixed. That kind of thing didn't go on when Donald was there.

Still, planet fitness is a great place and they keep this location very clean inside which I appreciate.”

“LOVE this gym!! The staff and fellow gym members are so friendly and happy! The gym and restrooms are always clean and there is ample equipment available. I look forward to my workouts each day at Anytime Fitness on Jefferson!”

“Good place to work out but they do not have good sit up machines which I think that sucks cuz that's all I really want that's not all I need but that's all I want”

“The people here genuinely care about creating a supportive and welcoming fitness environment. They offer a wide range of training and conditioning classes to choose from. This is the first gym where I have enjoyed and looked forward to working out. Since starting at this gym in May, I have lost over 30 pounds and significantly improved my confidence, thanks to the supportive staff, fellow gym members, and the training classes. This is the first gym in my life where I have felt compelled to return every week. Due to external factors, not relating to the gym itself, I called the gym to pause my membership, and their concern and willingness to work with me so that I could continue going to their gym (and continue pursuing my fitness goals) was outstanding. This is a gym that fosters a staff that genuinely cares about their members and does a fantastic job of ensuring you meet your fitness goals while having a good time doing it. I recommend UFC Sherwood to everyone.”

“I have been a member going on three years now and I love this gym. Its clean and organized well, I have no problem working one muscle group a session with all the weights close by for each group. There is a great selection of machines if you don't need free weights. I'll be a member for a long time to come.David/Daisy”

“Friendly environmentNice downtown viewsGym is always very clean and the staff is helpfulEquipment is well keptEverything i need to get in a great workout is available for any type of training, cardio or stretching”

“Great atmosphere full of energy, knowledgeable and friendly staff. They start of with a body scan that full of fabulous information to help you achieve your goals. Coach V kept the momentum in the class fun and challenging. And they have a great variety of classes available to meet everyone's schedule. Can't wait to go back!”

“I came into BR Active with some hesitation and uncertainty. I was a couple weeks out from my 45th birthday. I had just been diagnosed with diabetes and high cholesterol and some other health problems. I was also the heaviest I’ve ever been. Dwayne has been nothing short of exceptional. He has walked me through the process of getting back in shape. The workouts are challenging but also freeing. He takes the guess work out of it. He builds workouts that are scalable for any fitness level. I hit the 5 am class and the crew is welcoming with no egos.

Br active is different in that there really isn’t a competition everyday. I only have to compete against myself.

I highly recommend anyone looking for a place to get FIT, come give BR Active a chance.”

“This location is great. The manager is very nice and they keep everything very clean. My only complaint is that it gets VERY hot as the day goes on. The A/C can’t keep up and it is 80° by the end of the day which is miserable. There are very large windows in the front of the gym. I think there needs to be some shades to keep some of the heat out.”

“Very Clean, Easy Parking And Handicap Accessible, C B Pennington Jr YMCA Has Programs For All Age Groups Including Senior Citizens. The Staff Members Are All Very Friendly, Helpful, Knowledgeable And Professional. Last Year When Several Schools Closed Without Any Advanced Notice To The Parents And Guardians, This Particular YAMC Stepped Up And Accepted The School Children. Especially The Lower Elementary And Middle School Children. Also This YMCA Had Staff On Hand To Provide Age Appropriate Activities For These Children. Therefore A Lot Of Parents And Guardians Were Able To Go To Their Jobs And Work Their Schedule Shifts. I Would Definitely Rate This YMCA 10/10. "Definitely A Great Asset To The Community Especially In A Time Of Need".”

“I am 62 years old and started with FITT in my late 40's with a goal of losing 50# by age 50. I lost 40# before age 50 and have slowly improved every year. My goal is to be FITT when I am in my 80s and still have a high quality of life. Over the years I have trained with multiple FITT trainers; my trainer for the past year is Ben Levine, along with the owner Jerry Drefahl, have continuously monitored my needs and designed workout programs to keep me progressing. I highly recommend FITT for anyone who is serious about living longer and healthier.”

“I absolutely love this gym! The atmosphere is wonderful and I enjoy the different classes, machines, and being with senior citizens. It's never a dull moment and the coffee is awesome! They have summer programs for the kids, a nice clean pool, clean showers, clean restrooms, a clean locker area, and clean facility over all. I Love this gym!!!”

“FOR A WELL EDUCATED DECISION. Please Read carefully. This location has been renovated and looks great. The clients are sophisticated, business class, and friendly. That said.. I love anytime fitness . Why?? Because they’re so many of them, these people on here whining about the standard contract. WHAT? Dude it’s the SAME CONTRACT AT ANY ANYTIME! You’re crying because you need a better job, you weren’t serious about fitness to begin with, you didn’t take advantage of multiple locations, and most of all You DIDN’T READ THE CONTRACT . $40 for the benefits is MORE than worth it, you have access to hundreds of gyms. What’s the biggest drawback to working out?? DISTANCE. Anytime fixes that. So they should Quit attacking a multi location gym out of illiteracy. The management and ownership DEFINITELY care about their clientele. They will greet you, ask questions, help you target goals. Offer excellent wisdom!! <3 Check it out, enough said.. Have a great workout. :)”

“Being a single mom of an exceptional son, I haven't felt myself in a couple of years. Almost 2 weeks ago a JAZZERCIZE class ad came across my Facebook page that caught my attention. After dropping my son off at school for 7am, I drove straight to Mid-City and waited until 8:30 in the parking lot. I walked in with no intent to work out just sign up but Jennifer convinced me to join in on class. The next morning, I went back and had another amazing class with Shalendra (owner) just her and I. I needed that and God knew it. I walked out feeling so sexy, I feel myself coming back to ME! I was upset this morning my son woke up and was determined to go to Home Depot for his monthly building class. I canceled this morning class but I WILL BE BACK MONDAY! The compassion, love, and pure joy they have... it's just not a class it's a MOVEMENT! A FAMILY! Thank you ladies.”

“Matt Walker was amazing. Being in sales myself my time is very limited so he answered every question I asked and addressed my needs. He is a keeper. Thank you Matt!!!”

“ToneBR is a must when looking for a place to workout! They offer a wide variety of classes and each one never disappoints. I’ve been going here for over a year and the instructors are all very knowledgeable about their teachings of the workouts — ToneBR does not just hire anyone, only the best! All of their studios are kept super clean, staff is very friendly, and both locations are just great. ToneBR also has created such a great community from the people that attend their studios. Not only will you get an amazing workout, but meet amazing people that will soon become friends. Thank you ToneBR for existing!!”

“I was visiting my aunt in Louisiana and she took me to this gym. The free weight room is huge. I live in Spain and the truth is that I loved it. I have been training for several years in different weight rooms and the truth is that I love gyms in the United States. The reception staff who assisted me were super friendly and I was able to train for two days. If I come back I will repeat for sure”

“I love being a member of Redstick fitness! The facility has everything you need in a gym. The staff and trainers are always so friendly and helpful! You won't regret joining Redstick to begin your fitness journey!”

“Dropped in while traveling for a handful of classes and enjoyed the classes and coaches. Gym was clean, music was good, and staff were friendly. Would recommend!”
