Friendly staff and great bargain

by nolanick at Citysearch

I really like this gym. I don't understand any of the hate floating around because I joined during college, cancelled my membership, moved back here earlier this year, and renewed my membership... all with no hassle or problem or any of these supposed hidden fees.

But enough negativity, the gym is always clean. The staff are super-friendly. The boot camp thing they do is extra charge (but an amazing workout) and all the other classes are free. Also I joined with my girlfriend and we got a couple discount that I think you can get with even just a roommate.

They'll keep charging your credit card after you cancel!

I initially joined this gym because they offer month to month memberships whereas most gyms require a one year contract. After being a loyal member for almost a year, I started grad school and I decided to just go to the gym on campus. I specifically told a staff member to cancel my membership. Well to my surprise, they kept on billing me for the next two months.

I can see why some people don't believe us. It is a fairly nice gym. To all the people who don't believe us, wait till you try to cancel your membership. They don't try to screw you over until AFTER you've left.

BEST GYM IN NEW ORLEANS, HANDS DOWN.

by hollyanner at Citysearch

I don't know who is writing negative reviews about this gym but they're crazy. I live between New York and New Orleans and have been to A LOT of gyms and this is by far the best. The price is right, the facilities are clean and the staff is incredibly friendly. The class variety is unlike any other gym in New Orleans - there are so many different Cardio classes that you can take advantage of - Hip Hop Dance, Kick Boxing, Circuit Training, Spin, and more which are all INCLUDED in your already inexpensive membership. I've been working with a personal trainer and have lost almost 40 pounds in three months which is all because of her and the motivation that I receive from the people at the gym. I looked at multiple other gyms and this is by far the best. If you're shopping around, DON'T. Just got to St. Charles Avenue Athletic Club - you won't regret it. There is so much offered it's hard not to want to get in shape.

GYM IS AWESOME!!!

by sarahGT at Citysearch

First i want to say that whoever writes those negetive nasty reviews most likeley have some personal agenda.

I am a teacher with TEACH FOR AMERICA who shoped around for a gym in the area and had the St. Charles Ave. Athltic Club very last one on my list (thanks to the bad reviews). Well to my surprise it surpassed all of my expectations. Not only the facility is grate the energy there is that of WORK OUT!!!!! Because i am a teacher i got a discount as well!!! Can't beat it, belive me i did the shoping for you!!!

have been a member for years!!!

I have been a member at St Charles ave. athletic club for years and never have i ran in to anything even remotely close to what some of you writing on here. They have very flexible policies and maybe some of you on here taken advantage of them? As far as the equipment in my opinion they have the best variety of free weights and machines, dumbells go up to 200lbs, I think that would satisfy any lifter. Also the newly added powerlifting room is off the hook!!! What gym in town offers free quality classes, like an hour and a half yoga/pilates class wich i just adore. So my theory is that maybe it is you who screwed up and not them...

Once again i have been coming to the place for years and i love it, will strongly recomend it and stand behind my word!!!
