Fitness & Gyms near Elmwood, LA

“Awesome gym with a wide variety of machines - pretty much every free weight imaginable to get the job done.if there's a muscle group you want to target specifically, I promise there's a machine available in Valhalla to do so. Great atmosphere, good people, and the owner himself is down to earth, principled, and trains as well. Plenty of parking in front and back of place. Bad ass environment. Extremely fairly priced for the amount of value you receive. If you're a serious lifter who wants to be around other serious lifters and a solid community, join asap. 💪”

“Went into this gym early one morning to sign up for a membership. No one in the membership department had arrived yet, but the lady with the biggest smile at the desk was so nice and helpful. My phone would not connect to the internet, so she assisted me with filling out my information on the gadget provided. She even showed me some classes on that same gadget that she thought I might find helpful and suggested I get a tour because the gym was quite large. From what I could see from where we were standing, it looked impressive. I was excited! Finally, after a very long wait, someone arrived, and I was able to get the tour and sign up. The girl giving the tour could have been a bit more enthusiastic about showing me the gym. I would have liked to have seen more, especially the locker room and upstairs. I wish I could remember the lady's name at the desk to thank her, because I felt very intimidated going into that gym all alone, but she was so kind and patient, and made me much more at ease. I look forward to bumping into her again soon.”

“One of the best F45 studios I’ve dropped into yet! Sal and the team were super friendly and the studio is huge with great light and air con. Definitely worth the ride down from the centre of town for a great workout in a very cool location.”

“Today was the day! I had no idea what to expect at CrossFit NOLA. I have to say I am quite pleased with the experience. The workouts were well demonstrated, and my need for adaptations were definitely incorporated. Thank you, Jeff and Carl for the pointers and encouragement throughout the journey. I hope to visit again soon. ?”

“Such a welcoming community of ALL ages and sizes! Metairie Lakeview Jazzercise offers a fun, uplifting form of exercise. Pristinely clean center. Lots of class offerings. Your body, posture, and mind will thank you.”

“We dropped in for a workout at CrossFit NOLA and was great. We did not take a class but just did open gym and I have to say that the place is huge!

They have a lot of equippement and the staff was super friendly when welcoming us. It feels like a place with a nice community too!

Definitely recommended and a place I'd visit again when coming back to New Orleans.”

“I absolutely LOVE CCCF! From my very first day, everyone has been beyond welcoming and encouraging. The coaches are incredible and truly meet you where you’re at while still pushing you to be your best. The community is unmatched—I’ve made lifelong friends here, hit my fitness goals, and then completely blown past them. This gym is 100% my happy place. If you’re on the fence, join. You won’t regret it!”

“I love the new design and I love the way. Everything is open spacious and clean. The trainers and staff are always really nice and I love that. They offer free classes with the membership as well as lots of weight training and also hit classes. I also know that they have the stair climber here. I highly recommend this Anytime Fitness as number one. 🫶🏽💯 Ask for Allie, she’s very nice and Nick is very professional trainers! Thanks again Anytime Fitness!”

“Outstanding gym. The facilities are always clean, everything I needed and more, and the 24-hour access makes it easy to stay consistent with my schedule. The staff is exceptionally helpful, and I like that they have two New Orleans locations in secure buildings. Cant recommend enough. Best gym in the area, and I’ll miss my 3 years there during time in New Orleans. Special thanks and mention to Brandon.”

“Fantastic Barre3 studio! I’ve done Barre3 in 3 other cities and this studio is my favorite so far! Friendly, warm, come as you are environment. Instructors are encouraging and the classes are challenging in the right way.”

“Krewe is such a special place. From day one it has felt welcoming, encouraging, and genuinely supportive no matter your fitness level. The coaches truly care, take the time to explain movements, and make sure you feel confident and safe.

I also love that they have registered dietitians on staff who are amazing and so approachable. Having real, practical nutrition guidance alongside training has made a huge difference for me.

What really sets Krewe apart is the community. Everyone shows up for each other, celebrates wins big and small, and makes working out something I actually look forward to. I feel stronger, more confident, and more consistent since coming here.

If you are looking for a gym where you feel supported, challenged, and truly part of something, this is it.”

“This is a gem of gym. I was in town for about a week and got a membership for my stay. It offers all the equipment you could possibly want and honestly, probably more than some of the name brand franchise gyms. I've worked out at quite a few different gyms, and this was hands down probably one of my favorites.”

“5 stars for Orangetheory Fitness! The atmosphere is motivating and the facility is top-notch. I really appreciate how clean and well-maintained everything is—especially the fact that they always have plenty of fresh towels available. It’s one less thing I have to worry about packing in my gym bag. Great team and great vibes!”

“I signed up for a virtual consultation a couple months ago and it changed my life. I received some sample workouts and vital nutrition information to incorporate into everyday life. I couldn’t be more pleased with losing 12 lbs in 7 weeks, feeling stronger, and having curbed cravings while recovering from surgery. May try an in-person session one day! Thanks Stacked!”

“I started at this gym with just a one-day tryout in January. Not long after having my baby in by November 2024, I felt the need to do something for myself. Postpartum affects us in many ways — every woman knows that — and I wanted to rebuild my confidence and improve my self-esteem.
Before that, I had done CrossFit for about a year at another gym, before getting pregnant. The classes were good, the coaches were involved, and the workouts worked. But honestly, I never felt what I feel here.
What I found in this place goes beyond training.

Over time, I became stronger, reached my weight goals ( I’m down 158.7 lb to 132.3 lb) in a consistent and healthy way, and built a routine that truly became a habit. But the real difference, for me, has always been the people. There is genuine care here. They understand your needs and go deep into where you struggle — whether it’s mobility, movement execution, or even things beyond the workout itself.
It’s also clear that this isn’t just about training. There’s a real effort to maintain a friendly, family-like atmosphere between the coaches and the members. People check in on you, send messages, and genuinely care, not only about your performance, but about how you’re doing outside the gym as well.

When they talk about a “family feeling,” it doesn’t sound like a catchphrase here. It actually happens. And if you’ve trained at other gyms and never felt that, I can confidently say that people truly make the difference in our lives.

For me, training here became more than exercise. It became mental care, healthy habits, and an environment where friends, partners, and coaches became part of my story.”

“If I could give IronTribe more than 5 stars, I would.

When I first joined, I was simply looking for a gym. What I found was a community that completely changed my life. Over the years, I’ve built friendships, confidence, healthy habits, and accomplished things I never thought I was capable of.

Every coach is incredible, not only knowledgeable and supportive, but genuinely invested in helping members succeed. The coaches and members became like family, and every class was filled with welcoming, encouraging people. No matter your fitness level, IronTribe has a way of making you feel like you belong from day one.

What makes this place special isn’t just the workouts, it’s the people. The community Jordan and the team have built is unlike anything I’ve experienced at any other gym. It’s supportive, motivating, and truly feels like a second home.

As I move away to start the next chapter of my life, IronTribe will be one of the things I’ll miss most. It is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been a part of, and I am forever grateful for the impact it has had on my life.

Thank you, IronTribe, for changing my life for the better!! I will miss you dearly!”

“Premier is an AWESOME gym! It is clean and not too crowded. I love the amenities including the steam room and cold plunge. It’s a great gym with even better people!”

“I loved this gym. My only issue is that I wasn't allowed to access other snap fitness gyms. When trying to visit another location my access didn't work and I was told that my home gym set me up as home club only. When I asked the front desk worker at my home gym why he stated that is how he was trained to set up accounts. Every now and then my friends who are members at other locations and I would like to meet up at a location and workout together. Their memberships would work when they access my club but mine wouldn't work at theirs and we all joined through the same insurance. I would definitely rejoin if I had access to other locations as well.”

“I had such a great experience at Planet Fitness thanks to Angela! She provides top-tier customer service—always friendly, welcoming, and full of positive energy. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and it makes a huge difference.

Angela is not only fun and upbeat, but also an amazing motivator. She brings a vibe that makes you actually *want* to work out and keep coming back. If you ever need that extra push or just a friendly face at the gym, she’s definitely the one to see!

Highly recommend—Angela is a true asset to the team!”

“How to begin... Cassidy, a polite young lady, is a thoroughly pertinent investgative trainer. The gentleman, Sean, who helped me, in my beginnings of AF sports, was true to my compliment. The entire establishment is a work of art, as per cleanliness, equipment, helpful minded individuals, therefore a pleasure to be a member. Please, if you are like minded, as I, in your health, choose Anytime Fitness Rousseau Street.”

“Jazzercise is FUN, a great cardio&strength workout, and addictive! I am 32 and been working out 5 times a week since high school, and I can assure you this works ALL THE THINGS but in an enjoyable way that doesn’t leave you miserable! If you’re looking for motivation, this is your place to start! Give it a try- they offer a 7 DAY FREE PASS!

The workout incorporates current pop songs and basically just puts commonly known workout moves to a beat! It is not really “dancing” where you feel uncomfortable or feel like you need to know how to dance. It’s 8 counts you follow repetitively one at a time with typical moves like squats, lunges, high knees, bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, etc. PLUS a little dance-y moves that make you forget you’re even working out! Give it 3 classes and you will totally understand the format, moves, etc. and want to come back every single day!”

“Went to the free class and it did not disappoint!! Haas was an amazing coach and kept up the hype so well! I am VERY sore but that should tell you something because the class is only 1 hour??”

“Update 6/28/2025: This location is still a good place to workout. Today I was pleased to see new treadmills and a new addition to the staff. She was very gracious and helpful on the phone and in person.?

1st Entry: I was surprised how much I would enjoy working out at this location. This is my 1st 24/7 facility and I love the ease & flexibility it presents. My initial registration was quick and painless. Members are passive (I like that). Area parking is available) depending on the day/time. Although the facility is moderate in size, it never feels crowded. The facility is kept clean and members are strongly encouraged to clean machines/equipment used. No photos are posted to protect the privacy of members.”

“If you are looking for a workout place after a long day at work this is my kind of place to workout with some peace and quiet. Nice, clean atmosphere to get your stress out. You don't have to sit and wait for a bench or machine. You can get your workout in and get out within an hour. The staff is awesome and helpful if you have any questions. I highly recommend it.”

“Raw. Real. Ruthless. This Is the Gym That Builds Beasts.
If you're looking for chrome machines, spa music, and people scrolling Instagram between sets—keep walking. But if you want chalk-stained floors, iron that clanks, and a crew that trains like it’s life or death, welcome to WAC—the last real gym standing.
This place doesn’t care about trends. It’s old school in the best way: heavy weights, no excuses, and an environment that demands grit. The energy in here is electric—everyone’s grinding, pushing limits. There’s no judgment, no fluff—just mutual respect and serious lifting.
The equipment is battle-tested—dumbbells that go way beyond what you’ll find at a corporate chain, squat racks that have seen decades of blood, sweat, and PRs. Results are undeniable here.
Whether you're a powerlifter, fighter, or just tired of the soft fitness culture—this place will toughen you up, mentally and physically. WAC doesn’t hand out participation trophies. You earn everything here.
This isn’t a gym. It’s a proving ground”

“Love this place! Just joined last week after walking by a hundred times, and I’m very glad that I did. Jake and Bridget, the owners, are super friendly and helpful, the place has a very welcoming feel to it, the natural lighting is awesome, I’ve never had to wait for a machine, locker room is sparkling clean, just overall pretty awesome. The best gym I’ve ever belonged to, by far. You’ll love it too!”

“Currently passing through New Orleans and needed a gym for a day session! Great views and affordable. The staff were extremely polite and Jojo ended up helping me so much by providing great information on the city, places to see and some advice on getting around! She did an excellent job at making me feel very welcome and helping out in any way possible! Thanks for the gym session!”

“I'm an OTF member in Michigan and came to this studio while visiting New Orleans. Orangetheory is a fantastic workout, as always, but I was really impressed with Preston's coaching and his playlist was excellent. Great energy and workout during my vacation (visiting different studios is one of my favorite perks of OTF membership)”

“Great to come in and get a work out in.
There are peak times and can't get to equipment but I check crowsld meter in app.
Initially started with Black card but went to basic because I didn't use the perks. Would reconsider if tanning beds were changed to spray machine.”

“Such a great workout! I had my mom try a class and Kathy was amazing working with her limitations and also getting a good push! She couldn’t believe how fast the 45 min went by!! She is a barre3 believer now!”
