  Chelsey, Shane and their team are hands down the best trainers in town! They will help you become the best version of yourself, absolutely judgment free, and in a fun, positive environment. You can also count on them to help you stay accountable! They will make sure you show up and show out! Best decision ever.

  I have tried my whole life to find a gym, but have often found myself feeling uncomfortable or lost in most gym type settings. I heard about girls gone buff from some coworkers, and decided to give it a try. I started out with spin, and immediately loved the vibe, and was so thankful to Courtney, a coach at GGBC for making me feel included and welcome on my first day. I eventually did the beginner’s challenge and then transitioned into regular bootcamp classes. Everyone I have met has been nice, and I like the class setting. I feel challenged every workout, and I like the way I feel after I workout. I couldn’t ask for a better gym environment, and I’m glad GGB was recommended to me.

  I’ve tried many different gyms, at home workouts, etc. Nothing compares to what you get from Girls Gone Buff. It’s absolutely more than just a gym! You really gain friendships and confidence from being around such amazing women. Joining the girls gone buff team has definitely been the best decision I have made for myself so far!

  Finding Girls Gone Buff has truly been a blessing to me. Like most people walking into a gym is very intimidating for the first time. I use to get really bad anxiety just the thought of going to a gym. I knew it was something I was ready to incorporate in my life, but I didn’t know how that was even going to be possible until a friend recommended GGB to me. My very first class I felt so welcomed by one of the instructors Courtney, and it immediately made all my fears go away. All of the instructors and members have become like besties/family. Everyone is so encouraging and on such a positive vibe it becomes contagious. Everyone I encounter I recommend this gym to because it truly has been life changing for me!

  I have been a member at GGB for about four months now. I’ve always worked out and tried different gyms. This one is the best, by far. The coaches are so helpful. The workouts are very challenging but the coaches will help you modify to your level. I highly recommend it. It’s definitely made working out a fun experience for me, rather than a chore.

  Chelsey and her Krewe are some of the hardest working and most caring coaches I’ve ever met. They have motivated and inspired me to focus on my health and fitness. I recommend GGB to anyone that wants to change their lives for the better!

  I’ve been to lots of different types of gyms, but I’ve never really felt as comfortable as I feel at GGB. It’s all due to the owners/ coaches, Chelsey and Shane. They are so knowledgeable and fun, they make you feel right at home and will help modify any workout according to your abilities. It’s what keeps me going back day after day, even when I don’t feel like it! So glad I found GGB!

  I started this gym a few years ago! Starting something new is never easy and when you’re overweight and someone mentions “Boot Camp” it’s even scarier! My fears almost instantly subsided when I met Chelsey! Never once did I feel like that overweight girl at the gym. I felt like even though I was whining and complaining about whatever crazy work out she had put up for us, I knew that she would help push me through it! I absolutely adore everything about this place! If you have not tried it then you need to!

  I started at Girls Gone Buff in May 2016 when classes were held at the park. The only reason I decided to check it out was because I worked with Shane at one time at the hospital.What I love about GGB :1. I’m pushed every single day. I now understand what going beast mode means.2. I love the community. We are a gym family. We are there for each other. Inside the gym with workouts and outside the gym with life.3. I can be myself. I’m not judged for being goofy and silly. There is no judging going on. I’m looked at as a person not just some gym member. Everyone is supporting each other.4. I am encouraged and cheered on. When I want to quit Shane and Chelsey are right there cheering me on. The other girls are cheering me on to. They don’t want me to quit.

  I love this gym so much that I live in Metairie and still find a way there at least 3x a week. Need I say more? Probably not, but oh well. ??‍♀️I started GGB in January 2017. Not gonna lie, I was skeptical and nervous about how I’d do. I had just tried a trial membership with another gym (Snap/Planet Fitness-esque) not long before joining GGB, and I left in tears. I didn’t know what I was doing and there was no one around that I could even ask to help me. That’s the relationship I had with going to the gym/working out in general. Enter GGB where I started at Crescent Park. I believe my first workout class had kettlebell swings..never touched a kettlebell before this, and Chelsey was right there correcting my form and letting me know what I was and wasn’t doing right without losing her focus on other members of the class. I’ve since moved my classes from the park to the gym, and nothing has changed. Chelsey, Shane, Courtney and Rachel all have a way of pushing you to do what you think you can’t, while keeping your safety their #1 priority.Since joining GGB, the gym isn’t a scary place anymore. It’s somewhere that I’ve challenged myself, bettered myself and continue to better myself with each passing week. There’s truly no place like it.

  I was thinking the other day as I watched people milling around after a class the other day, how similar “the gym” is to my usmc days. The comradery, community spirit, and overall sense of inclusion is one of the many reasons this gym is so successful.The trainers are passionate and walk the walk. They owners and trainers care about the health and wellness of the community around them, and the gym has already made differences in peoples’ lives for a lifetime.THEN they also opened their doors to a seva yoga teacher and let the community use the space to practice yoga free of charge.Group classes, bikes, rowers, Olympic lifting, yoga, pole classes, nutrition coaching, one on ones, running and agility training, kids classes, the amount of services they offer to the community is incredible and I recommend them to everyone.✌️

  I just recently started this gym and let me tell you, it was probably one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!! I was skeptical before joining because i kept thinking this was too extreme for me and that i was never going to be able to do the workouts, but turns out, i really enjoy them! Everyone that comes to this gym, is so friendly! Chelsey and Shane have been sooo welcoming and helpful! I pulled a muscle in my back and those two have sat with me to try and stretch correctly and modify the workout for myself. They genuinely care about their people. LOVE them and this gym!

  I started working out with Chelsey and Shane when they first started in the park. I thought i was going to last a month and quit just like every other time. They have made this very enjoyable and made it my second home. I have never felt more comfortable in a gym. There is such a great support system and the coaching is amazing. You can talk with them about anything and not feel embarrassed. They have made me a better person, mind and body and i thank them for that!

  The best gym around! Trainers are highly knowledgeable; encouraging, and supportive. This gym is for ALL fitness levels from beginners to experienced. Workouts are modified as needed and it is a very welcoming environment.. no judgement zone here.
