Dillon and Missy have created such a unique experience with Flambeaux. I felt like I instantly gained two friends when I signed up, not just coaches, due to their personable coaching styles. Same goes for Travis and Quinn.It feels amazing knowing you’re part of a community with the main focus of bettering yourself. Everyone is extremely encouraging and welcoming. I never felt intimidated in the beginning of my time with Flambeaux because no matter how more skilled other classmates are, they all know what it was like at the start. It’s a great feeling watching classmates hit their goals and cheering them on and even better when that is reciprocated when you hit your goals.I love how we’re always doing something different. Going to workout on my own before Flambeaux I never really knew what to do with my exercises. I definitely didn’t push myself as far as I do now with Flambeaux. Dillon creates very tough, very different workout plans each week so it always feels fresh with constant new challenges.You will get addicted to the feeling of accomplishment of coming to class and sticking through the workouts each time, even when you get absolutely crushed by the challenges. The camaraderie and devotion Dillon and Missy have created and display every day will keep your motivation high and at the end of the day, it’s only one hour to commit daily to really benefitting yourself in ways you probably wouldn’t consider. Not only do I feel much better physically, but the sense of accomplishment provides such great mental benefits as well.
Flambeaux is by far the best gym space I have ever experienced! They are top notch knowledgeable on all things fitness and nutrition. Work with your personal goals and give you all of the tools and support to meet those goals. Not only are they professional but they are fun and make a hard workout worth it! Family friendly and open to anyone. I have never felt more comfortable working out in a group environment than I have at Flambeaux CrossFit. 12/10 recommended!
I was living temporarily in New Orleans and went looking for a great place to work out and I found Flambeaux. And so lucky I did! This place is not only a great space but the coaches are so personable and knowledgeable. They created some great workouts within such a great, inclusive community. If you are looking for a fun crew with great workouts!
I can’t say enough good things about Flambeaux. I look forward to going to classes and working out with some of the nicest, most inclusive people I’ve ever met. All of the coaches are extremely thorough and attentive and make it a point to make sure you feel comfortable, supported and heard. If you’re thinking about joining a gym, considering giving them a try!
The trainers know what their talking about (a MUST for crossfit) and the people their were chill and friendly. I gave them 4 instead of 5 stars only because i dont train their but instead went to just see what they were about. The seem like a good crew.
This is the perfect place if you want to work out with people that feel like your family. Literally, people you don’t know it will be high-fiving you and telling you “good job!” It’s an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and you don’t have to be embarrassed if you’re doing an exercise wrong. The coaches help and encourage you. It’s definitely a fit family!!!
Flambeaux is my home. The coaches and members are my family. I joined Flambeaux to help me become a better Soldier for the Army National Guard, and I’ve far exceeded those expectations. Not only am I better Soldier, I’m a better wife, a better friend, but I am a better SELF. Dillon and Missy have helped me achieve things I never thought was possible.Flambeaux stands out from any other box I’ve been to because members are supportive and accepting.10/10 highly recommend!!
The coaches here are the best! Love how nice and friendly everyone at the gym is.
I am so grateful for Flambeaux! I had visited several diff CrossFit gyms but didn’t feel like I fit in at any of them. I was missing a connection with the coaches/other members and also was worried about finding a gym that was LGBTQ friendly. Several friends told me about Flambeaux and when I finally checked it out, I knew I was home. I loved walking in and seeing the rainbow/trans flag hanging along with many other flags (like the US flag and Saints flag) because at Flambeaux everyone is welcome. The classes are diverse in race, age, gender, orientation, etc. That was something that was super important to me and I had no clue something that could ever actually exist.I love how knowledgeable all the coaches are, how welcoming and supportive the members are, and how reasonable the price is. I also love how easy it is to scale the workouts so that everyone can make progress on their goals, no matter how long they’ve been working out. For the first time in my life, I feel like an athlete. I never thought I would be able to do most of the things I’m able to do now 7 months in. My first couple weeks I only went 2-3x a week but now I go 4-6x a week. Every workout is challenging but that’s what makes it so rewarding. Flambeaux has made me stronger in every area of my life - not just physically.It really is a family here.
This is the gym Ive been looking for. I was stuck in a place of redundancy at the gym. I looked forward to the end of the workout instead of looking forward to the workout. I was referred to this gym by another member. Even though Ive only been twice, I feel strong, happy, and encouraged that this is going to be the best gym Ive ever been a member of. Also, know going here is going to make me the best I can possibly be. On the first workout first day I got nothing but motivation and encouragement from complete strangers. I was challenged. I learned new skills. Even at the end when I thought I couldnt do another movement I just wanted to keep going.I was honestly a little hesitant about the cost, but Im telling you the membership is worth it. I feel like I got more out of the last two days at the gym than I have in months of redundant lifting on my own at the generic 24hr gyms Ive been frequenting.Honestly, Im not sure why youre still reading this and arent already on your way to workout at Flambeaux.
I had done CrossFit a few years ago and fell really out of shape while I was in grad school. When I moved to the area, I decided I wanted to get back into it, but was beyond nervous to get started (I even left work early so my first class would be during a slow time). Dillon and Missy have been absolutely amazing coaches to me and after almost a year there, I couldn’t imagine working out anywhere else.
Amazing environment!! Very understanding and they sincerely care about you and what your long term goals are. Missy and Dillon are very nice kind owners & coaches. Everyone I have met has been great/friendly!
I have been doing CrossFit for many years, and joined Flambeaux almost 1 year ago, and can honestly say that it is one of the best boxes I have belonged to. The coaches are amazing! They have built a wonderful community that is warm and welcoming to athletes of all levels. They create awesome workouts that keep you motivated, and they are always there to provide encouragement and support. I have grown as an athlete during my time at Flambeaux, and look forward to having a great workout every day. I can’t recommend this box enough!
I’ve never done CrossFit before. Checked out a couple gyms before I was referred to Flambeaux. I dropped in for a class one Friday and fell in love with the gym and people. The coaches and members are like family and the atmosphere is incredible. Would highly recommend to everyone!
Tough and fun workouts with no judgement and much camaraderie. the coaches are exceptional and will push you and invest in you. thank you, Flambeaux, for making me stronger!!!
Would recommend this to anyone looking to work hard and see results. Havent been back yet, but definitely will be. Staff members are awesome ppl.
I highly recommend his training classes. He has the patience and knowledge to get to know you as an athlete and the awareness of applying that to your training. He consistently is aware of what you need while also pushing you to a limit that he knows you can handle.I wanted bigger muscles, a slimmer waistline, and better endurance. I got all of those thing plus the bonus of an improved mental perseverance.
Misfits of fitness!!!I call this place home as do a number of others and theres a reason for that. Home is the place where you can be yourself and not worry about the thoughts and opinions of the rest of the world. Home is warm and full of love and support. So for me, home is the best way to describe Flambeaux Crossfit.Im an OIF(Operation Iraqi Freedom) vet. When I came back to the states, it didnt feel like home. I felt alone and some of my non-military friends and family had trouble understanding what my experience was like. I kept myself busy with standard military workouts(calisthenics and running) and eventually worked my way into power lifting, traditional bodybuilding, triathlon, and marathon running. Whatever I did, I knew that the secret to sticking with it was competing, so I did. Before I knew it I was knocking on Crossfits door looking for my next challenge.I started training in Crossfit about a year ago at regular gyms and joined Flambeaux back in August. Finally, I found a gym thats lets me train as hard as I want and how I want. YES!!!But it didnt stop there. The workouts are intense, but so is the support I got from my classmates. And the coaches!!! They are outstanding! While working with them I have broken almost every personal record I have in fitness. It didnt take long before I started staying for extra classes just to cheer on my friends I met there or get more time observing and learning. I was finally home.Yes, this is an openly LGBTQ+ gym. While it may be a big deal to some, it doesnt make a difference to me. Gay, straight, bi, trans, queer, etc. were there for the same purpose. Were joined by blood, sweat, tears, and the pursuit of our best selves.Come check us out! You wont regret it. Ill probably be there next to you, knocking out reps/runs/rows with you, motivating you all the way to the finish.
Think Crossfit isn’t for you? Flambeaux is a gym that makes Crossfit for everyone. I’ve always been skinny but never in really good shape and had little serious experience lifting weights. I was looking to gain muscle, feel physically healthier, and find an outlet to release stress from work. Since joining Flambeaux a little over 7 week ago, I’ve packed on about 13 pounds of muscle. I could not be happier with how my body looks, and I could not be happier with how I feel physically and mentally.I had heard the horror stories about Crossfit: it’s a cult; everyone gets injured because you get pushed too far too fast, etc.. So, I didn’t think Crossfit would be for me, but I wanted to spend more time with my wife who had joined Flambeaux a few months prior. While the first work out was the hardest work out I had ever done in my life, I also felt so proud of myself when I finished; I immediately knew I wanted to come back. In every work out, I reach a point where I don’t think I can do it anymore but with the support of the coaches and with my Crossfit classmates cheering me on and sweating besides me, I am always able to finish. And that’s what I like most about Crossfit at Flambeaux, it makes me feel like I can do anything. As a result, my body isn’t only getting stronger but so is my mind. I am much more confident in myself since joining Flambeaux.The coaches at Flambeaux meet you where you are at. They help make sure you maintain proper form to avoid injury. They push you when you’re ready to add weight. And, they motivate you when you’re so tired you can barely think.I also underestimated how awesome it would be to work out in a LGBTQIA+ friendly space. Flambeaux is truly a safe space for my wife and me. I have short hair for a woman and wear more masculine clothes, but I don’t have to worry about getting weird looks or being judged at Flambeaux. This is the first time I’ve felt like I belong at a gym.For someone who was never great at sports, after only a month and a half of consistent Crossfit at Flambeaux, I finally feel like a real athlete. It’s a powerful feeling. 7 weeks ago I couldn’t run a mile without stopping or even do a deep squat but now I can do those things and so many other things I would have never dreamed of being able to do before starting Crossfit at Flambeaux. I highly recommend Flambeaux no matter where you are on your fitness journey!
Its month and a half Im doing crossfit, Im loving this experience ... theyre awesome....
Welcoming atmosphere. Very family oriented. I can feel myself getting stronger every week!!
We absolutely love Flambeaux!! This is my third crossfit gym, and Flambeaux is by far the most unique. Flambeaux Crossfit and its members are extremely welcoming and genuine. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, and the work outs are amazing. If youre in the neighborhood I strongly suggest stopping in to check out this little gem
I do a lot a traveling for work throughout Texas and Oklahoma and I can say without a shadow of a doubt the atmosphere at Flambeaux CrossFit is one of the most encouraging and embracing out there.
I trained with Dillon for nearly 4 months and the results were beyond what I expected. I came to him with a pre-existing back injury and he worked with me to ensure that my technique was always correct to avoid further injuries. Dillon is certainly one of the most experienced and committed trainers around. He makes sure every session is challenging (and somehow fun) + is great at guiding you through the complicated world of nutrition and supplements. If you are looking to gain muscle, lose weight, build confidence or just get your life headed in a more healthy direction - Dillon is the trainer for you!
Very friendly and personable coaches. They care about each persons needs. I’d recommend to anyone!
Props to Flambeaux for kicking ass!Supportative, Motivating & WELCOMING.If you want to meet your goal & be a part of an awesome team FLAMBEAUX is where you need to be.
Supportive, encouraging, competitive atmosphere where members are building self-confidence and learning a healthy lifestyle!
Awesome gym that always delivers a welcoming experience and a hardwork out at the same time.
Having had rotator cuff surgery about a year ago the coaches customize the workouts to my ability and work with my specialized area to build up my strength and flexibility at my own pace what more could you ask for #fiyafit #fitfam
Positive environment which coaches encouraging you to be the best YOU!
If you are looking for a solid Crossfit program with a fantastic, welcoming staff and the best workout team you could hope for, look no further. Flambeaux is where its at!
The owner Dillan is super committed to hours clients. Id recommend this place to anyone looking to get in shape.
So many great things to say about Dash, I dont even know where to start! First off, this training WORKS. Ive been training with Dash for two months now and I am extremely happy with the results. His training style is one that keeps you coming back because its extremely challenging, but he doesnt give you anything you cant handle. I was afraid to start Cross Fit because I have a bad shoulder from a car accident, but Dash makes the necessary modifications and my shoulder is getting stronger every day. Dash is very encouraging, he makes you feel good about yourself and his positive vibes are contagious! He has helped me reach my goals and he continues to help me set new ones. Im so fortunate to have Dash as my trainer!! Five stars is not enough!!
Great gym great workouts great community!
My Crossfit Workout Home.. Love this place..
