The veterans location has great equipment for serious weightlifters. Convenient location. The main problem with the gym is a certain staff member that treats his customers like garbage. I don’t even have to say who it is, just read the other bad reviews and his name comes up time and time again. But, they have allowed him to do whatever he wants for years so nothing will change. He’s a snake, lies to you about your contract, picks and chooses who he wants to enforce his stupid rules to. After being screwed over time and time again I finally said enough is enough. And the customer service email address doesn’t respond at all. Get rid of him and I’ll come back, I’m sure others will too. Side note, the Dolphins are garbage!
I love French Rivera I was sad when I Heard that it was closing for me it was a good gym I love the area for women’s and also the sauna I wish they were open another one in the Metairie area
Its great but it closes soon
Caution, if you sign up with a reoccurring payment you will not be able to close your account! You get no response from written notice, the 800 number leaves you on hold endlessly, and the website you are referred to has zero knowledge of this establishment. I’ve belonged to many gyms around the country and this is by far the worst to cancel a membership.
Owner and one the trainers are very very rude and unprofessional. Will be moving to another local gym when my membership runs out (you have to prepay membership.) I do not recommend at all.
There should be more leeway for customers because of covid19. The person at the Veterans Blvd and Cleary Avenue location is Not at all helpful or considered in assisting customers or helping through these difficult times...Poor communications and Not professional. Thank you roy for NOTHING!
Good gym...reasonable in dues compared to others
Water filter stays in red zone for weeks before changing. Roy goes up & down stairs without mask but gets hostile if you were to do the same.light has been out in sauna for weeks.There is always multiple machines waiting for repair.
I was a member of French Riviera at the Earheart location. The location closed down, and signs were posted that our membership would be canceled. I was charged for a year for a gym that doesnt exist any more. When I called to cancel my membership. I was rudely pointed to the account management company that they have contracted out for billing and was required to send in an email with a 30 day notice to cancel my membership. FOR A GYM THAT DOESNT EXIST AND HAS BEEN CHARGING ME FOR A YEAR. The gym was terrible quality and falling a part, likely why they closed, but I always overlooked it because it was inexpensive. However, consider this before you open a membership with the company at another location.
I signed up for a 3 month contract for a gym membership. I then signed up for personal training. The gym was dirty and equipment was worn, but the membership was so cheap that I did not complain. When work got too busy toward the end of the three months, I had to discontinue my personal training sessions. When I did this, I was told that I had signed a contract for 6 months of personal training. This was definitely never disclosed to me. Why would I sign up for personal training for longer than my gym membership? People here are pushy, distrustful and unethical. I have record with my trainer saying someone was going to contact me because this “didn’t seem right”. Never heard from anyone and no calls were returned. I now have to dispute an $860 collection on my credit report from this gym... for a three month contract at a “cheap gym”. Do not go here. Don’t trust them.
I have had a very positive experience working out in private groups with my trainer Raj. He is a great motivator and knows how to encourage me to work to my full potential. I have had two knee operations over the years, and was told that I would need a knee replacement. Since training with Raj, my legs have become strong enough that I am now able to run again. I am in much better shape than I have been in years. The facility is always clean and the staff are friendly. French Riviera has been an awesome experience for me.
The staff love enforcing their members to wear facemasks due to the Covid-19 guidelines, but the staff NEVER wear facemasks. Way to lead by example. You should check into this Jefferson Parish...
Excellent. I felt safe with the safety rules implemented.
I’ve been very pleased and satisfied with my experience this past year with French Riviera and my trainer Raj. Always pleasant and happy to see me, my time every week with him I always looked forward to. I always feel better after being there. The gym also has a great deal to offer to anyone looking to get in shape or lose weight. I can’t say enough about the group as a whole or the clientele that uses the facility. Time and money well spent!
My wife and I recently moved to the metarie area, vas were highly considering French Riviera, mainly because of their sauna. A staff member, a middle aged African American male asked us for our IDS, we gave them to him (my wife and I both hold Louisiana driver licenses) and he proceeded to charge us a $20 dollar workout PER DAY fee, because we were not “locals” my friend had recommended the gym and said we could get a free week workout to give the place a try and do did their website. We profusely refused and he continued by saying he could go no lower than $15 per each of us for a days workout tryout. This place just lost both of our business today. Extremely disappointed.
Ms. Tina has been my trainer for close to 6 months now. She is very knowledgeable and confident in her abilities to get the job done. She has this way of motivating and pushing me past my limits. I love a challenge and she definitely challenges me. I need someone to hold me accountable for my choices where my health and fitness are concerned. I notice the changes, both mentally and physically since I have been with her. I look forward to continuing my transformation. I love Ms. Tina!!! I would definitely recommend her to everyone looking for a trainer.
This gym is efficient, clean, and great. Emily is my trainer and she is excellent. She makes each session unique and workouts with her are a blast. The sessions target different areas of the body and she always gives useful take home points. She is all about a healthy lifestyle which includes nutritional advice. Shes makes going to the gym fun and educational. Overall, the experience has been great!
Ive had a membership for many years, and enjoy the wide variety of classes and available equipment. There is something for every kind of preference and level of fitness. I particularly enjoy my personal training sessions with Raj. I go much further than I would be able to on my own, and am confident that Im doing everything correctly thanks to his attention. Its well worth the money.
Facility is great. Signing up with the great personal trainer really helps too! AND they offer group classes which are fantastic! My trainer, Raj, has really helped. We figured out what my goals were exactly and he has helped to reach and surpass them.
I am new to French Riviera. I began working with my trainer, Emily, about a month ago. She has been such a key part in my success. She pushes me to my limit and in just a short month, I have noticed such a difference in my upper body strength (I actually have some now)!! Even on the days when I am not training with her, Emily has helped me with a work out plan, as well as a nutrition plan. The work outs are always different and I do not get bored. I recommend this gym and I DEFINITELY recommend Emily as a trainer. Shes AWESOME!
I joined French Riviera a few months ago, and couldn’t be happier. The gym is clean and spacious. They have a huge variety of equipment, that’s in good condition. The best part is my trainer Emily. She pushes me to the next level. She makes training fun but also tough. Shes awesome! I would recommend her and this gym to anyone looking to improve their overall fitness.
Great place to workout. Plenty of machines and friendly staff. Gym members are polite and friendly also. Parking has not been a problem for me.
I purchased my pass over a month ago; I was particularly interested in group classes and after visiting a few places Ive decided to stop at French Riviera. So far my experience has been more than pleasant. I like the room for group classes: its big, very well ventilated, and air conditioner works good. All instructors are professional and ready to help, all staff members are friendly. Im very satisfied with my experience and I want to thank all employees, the management and owners for running the gym so well.
Emily has been my AMAZING Fitness Trainer for over 6 mos. I am fascinated with how strong my core has become, along with my body toning up. She has the ability to develop an individualized fitness plan thats uniquely yours. Emily has played a vital role in assisting me on my journey to becoming healthy. I absolutely love Emily!
I have been working with one of the trainers...Emily. It has been an amazing experience for me. She is definitely one of the best there. In working with her we developed a realistic meal plan (sorry Weight Watchers) and tailored a workout regime that is working for my body type. Im down almost 20 pounds, thanks in part to Emilys encouragement.
I had the best experience at this gym. It has a lot to offer with dedicated trainers and staff. My trainer Tina was great! Not only was she super motivated and exciting, she was also able to take difficult exercises and modify them to make them easier. Workouts with her were always challenging yet super fun.
My trainer Emily is great! Ive been training with her for a little over six months and have seen a huge improvement. My arms have muscles now! She uses a lot of positive reinforcement but still knows when to push you to give just a little more. The only reason this gym gets 4 stars, not 5, is because when the gym gets busy, all the lockers in the womens locker room get filled up and sometimes youre waiting 10 minutes or more waiting for one to free up. They definitely need to put more lockers in there
Most unethical company. I called to tell them Im pregnant and can no longer attend the gym for the rest of my pregnancy and they were sorry they had to keep charging me every month instead of freezing the account until my pregnancy was over and I could come back to the gym. Very disappointed and do NOT recommend it.
Im a native New Orleanean but have lived in Chicago, Long Beach, and Los Angeles. Of all the gyms Ive belonged to this one is by far my favorite! The equipment is top notch and I like that there is a separate ladies workout area. However, the best part for me are the people that work here that feel more like family!My trainer, Tina, is the absolute best!! I look forward to every week when she kicks my butt and challenges me to do my best. One of my favorite workouts is boxing with my pink gloves hitting the pads and the heavy bag! Not only does she help me work on training my body but also training my mindset of eating healthier and working on my emotional eating. She has a holistic approach that is helping me to reach my health goals!I truly appreciate the people that work here and make me feel like this is my second home! I always look forward to seeing Nick, Ricky, Erin, Alex, Christian, Amanda, And many more people Im forgetting! They work as a great team and it shows!One minor thing is it would be nice if some of the locks in the ladies locker room were fixed.Overall, I would recommend this gym to any of my friends and family!!
I joined this gym looking to lose some weight, and honestly I cant say anything but positive things about it. The staff is always so welcoming, you cant even walk in without Nick or one of the other awesome staff members greeting you. I was new to working out when I joined,and I must say the other members are extremely friendly and willing to help or answer any questions if you just ask.It does get crowded in the afternoons, so if you dont like crowds, I would suggest working out in the mornings or after 8 pm. All in all its a great friendly environment and I think becoming a member is a great investment for anyone to make, I mean honestly whats more important then your health and fitness?
I have been a member for four years and have enjoyed this gym and my trainer Tina (bounce). The gym is well maintained and the staff is also very friendly. My trainer Tina is excellent! She always challenges me and kicks my butt but that is what keeps me motivated! She has a great awareness of your injuries and knows how to work around those and still help you to achieve your goals!!!!
I think it’s a nice place and all, I have a 1 year contract. But I am not that impressed I had to pay $100 down & $30 monthly..,,I use to pay that at lifetime fitness & get so much more out of it.•Idk this place is hot and stinky I am not happy with my choice to be honest it’s just the closest thing where I live. And I really don’t like there hours from Friday to Sunday is all different hours gets confusing....
I have been a client with the head trainer Kirk for almost a month now, and I have already lost ten pounds and am heading to my weight goal faster than I have imagined. I have never thought this would have been possible without the help of him. He is supportive, encouraging, dedicated, walks the walk, and pushes me to a level where I thought I couldnt push myself to. He believes in me, and I think thats what one of the most important aspects of what a trainer should be to their client; that they believe in us. That is what drives us. That is what gets us up in the morning. That is what gets us to achieve our goals. Thank you, Kirk, for being such an important aspect to reaching my fitness goals.Alongside Kirk, Ricky, the staff and the other personal trainers are incredibly friendly, hospitable, and fun with all of the members and with their clients. There is a family community at French Riviera Metairie that is nonexistent in other nearby gym facilities, and that is what sets them apart from the competition.
Great gym. Its hours are great and the equipment is in good condition. The price is fantastic for what you get, including great group classes. Erin is my trainer there and she is whipping my butt into shape!
Great gym all around! Membership and personal trainer fees are affordable and staff works with you to help find what plan works best for your budget. All the staff and trainers are really friendly and helpful. My personal trainer is Tina and I love her! I was hesitant at first to get a trainer since I didnt really see the point, but Tina keeps it fun and makes every second count. She keeps me motivated and I always feel comfortable.. and sore afterwards. Along with that, the membership includes a variety of classes to attend six days a week at various times, as well as other additional benefits. Joining French Riviera was one of the best decisions I could have made and I plan on staying with them for the long haul! Honestly, Ive already referred my friends and family and would to any one else interested in joining a gym!
I was always intimidated to join a gym, but after receiving a three month membership trial from my churchs auction, I have been very happy and extremely comfortable at French Riviera! The fact that they were willing to donate to my schools auction is a testament to the excellent and welcoming management, and the staff has been fantastic. They always greet with a hi or have a good night. Those comments make a difference. I LOVE the wide variety of group classes and am impressed with the instructors and their enthusiasm. But I am most grateful to French Riviera for introducing me to my trainer, Tina. She is amazing. Tina is so knowledgable and passionate about fitness, health, and interest in her clients lives and interests. I love her creative workouts and the friendly conversations we have during our workouts. The personal touches keep me motivated and valued, and I know I can be honest with her about my strengths and weaknesses. Besides helping me gain strength and tone, Tina has helped me improve my self confidence and belief in my fitness abilities, and I will be forever grateful!
I like this gym because it has everything you need and nothing you dont. Its a gym, not an expensive social club. The very best part is my trainer, Tina. She is fabulous! She keeps me motivated, injury free, and doing 100 things today that I never thought possible a year ago! Love her!The gym itself is great, but not perfect. They do have a womens only area which is good if that is important to you. I will keep going here as long as Tina is my trainer.
I love the group fitness classes and the people are very friendly. But I really love my personal trainer Tina. She has helped me learn to eat better and also since Ive been seeing her Ive also shredded some pounds and inches as well. Love you Tina
Ive looked into several gyms since moving here and this one is by far my favorite. For $15 a month its the best deal around. Theres plenty of equipment - no waiting around for the only machine, the exercise classes are awesome and its clean!!! The staff is super friendly and they make you feel good when you walk in the door. Always a hello and a smile. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great workout facility!
I have always been a member of French Riviera and I believe the monthly rate is very reasonable. The best thing about FR is Wendy Capo, personal trainer at FR. She gave me a whole new aspect on living the #fitlife. She is a very dedicated trainer who takes her job seriously and gives the utmost quality of training. I would recommend FR and refer them to Wendy!! Shes the best!
My trainer Emily helped me to prepare for a wedding, and I lost 15 lbs almost immediately working with her. I achieved more than I ever knew possible and learned a lot about myself with her support. She is the only trainer there that Ive noticed being so thorough with their clients, keeping up with them on social media, communicating with, encouraging and motivating them even during her off hours, and truly caring about our confidence, self esteem, and success. She helped me to reach a goal and did it with a great attitude! Im lucky to have had her as my trainer! I definitely give 5 stars for my experience with Emily. If you decide to go with personal training, I would definitely recommend that you request her!I dinged one star for the overall cleanliness of the gym. They could definitely use another cleaning worker in there, specifically in the mirrored workout room and the bathroom. Ive only noticed one person who cleans and it seems like a lot for one person to keep up with!
I trained with Emily Martinez earlier this year. After assessing my workout needs, she tailored a plan just for me. The 30 minute workouts that started at 530 am were intense and motivating. I went from 0-60 during that time. From half asleep to heart pounding. Emily has a wonderful personality for training. She is upbeat, funny and always positive, pushing me when I was ready to give up and out of breath. I first noticed my increase in stamina with her training, then changes in the look of my body. I got more out of her 30 minute workouts than I had gotten for years working out on my own at the gym. I highly recommended her as a personal trainer!
Great gym! Nice womens gym space. Small but very nice dry sauna. And excellent personal trainers... Especially Tina B. She def makes sure to hit the areas you want to target, and some that you didnt know you needed to target! Very well rounded, and she even does great dietary advice. Thumbs up!
To Whom it may concern-Its with great pleasure that I bring to your attention the consistent performance by Emily Martinez. Emily is a young lady that has a wonderful personality and with great communication skills which leads her to be very conscious with her client. Emily is a very well rounded individual and someone I would recommend to any future member.You are very fortunate to have her as a trainer and representative for your company.ThanksNorm JosephPS. Member of French Riviera Fitness Metairie for over 18 years.
Love my trainer Erin Alphonso. She is a perfect match for me and my workout partner. Im 58 and have never enjoyed working out until we were matched with Erin. Also, I love the gym. Its always clean and all of the employees here are so friendly, helpful and courteous. Feels like home or the Cheers Bar where everybody knows your name!
Im in New Orleans for work and was looking for a gym with a one month membership. Amanda, the manager, really took care of me and helped me get a membership. Even when my card was overcharged she made sure she stayed on top of things so the overage would get credited back. Its a pleasure to see someone who really enjoys their work and Amanda exemplifies that. The gym is the best value in the area and I highly recommend it.
Love love love my trainer Tina!!! I started working out a year after I had my son. I gain 60 lbs while pregnant and had not lost any weight. A little over six months later I have lost 41lbs. If not for her I would not have made it this far. I live that I feel like we are friends and that she pushes me to do my best and wont let me quit. Tina and the entire staff are wonderful and always very friendly!! So glad to be part of the French family!!Thanks Tina!!Brittani
Love the gym. My trainer Tina always pushes me! I go at times during the morning or lunch time and there arent a lot of people. The gym is always super clean. I lost weight and inches with Tina. Sometimes they have good deals for sign ups like $9.99 a month, just watch the additional fees. Training sessions are really affordable and keep me going to the gym regularly.
I joined French Riviera and signed up with a trainer as a means to get in shape before my upcoming wedding and I have not been disappointed! Emily Martinez is an amazing trainer and has really been working hard with me to reach my fitness goals. She challenges me with our weekly sessions and pushes me to try harder even when Im a little reluctant. Ive only been training for a few months now and Im surprised at the changes Ive been able to see with my strength, endurance, and physical appearance. I couldnt have asked for a better trainer and I look forward to our continued sessions - both up until the wedding and after!
I joined this gym about 6 months ago and was paired with Emily as my personal trainer. She is absolutely amazing. Constantly radiating positivity and happiness. She is always looking for new things to keep our workouts fun, interesting, and constantly changing. She is 100% committed to helping everyone she meets and goes beyond basic personal training. She will send us home with Ems pep talks which is a piece of paper filled with motivational words to keep us going. I also follow her on different social media sites and the motivational words continue there! I cannot say enough kind words about Emily and the progress she has gotten me.-Jessica Seeling
I have been a member since the early 90s and have recommended this place to many people over the years. The equipment is kept up and always clean. The trainers are very nice and helpful to all members. Erin is especially helpful, she walks through the excercize area when she doesnt have a client and if someone ask her a question about a particular workout routine, she is very helpful to anyone who ask. Although I do miss the steam room. I think French Riviera is a great place to work out.
Great trainers, classes, equipment, and clean.
Man macontent://media/external/file/2479n the club is awesome the manager Nick is always there and friendly willing to help with anything i have been working out a long time and have experienced multiple gyms but none have meet the expectations of the French Riviera this gym by far is the best i have experienced... Especially at only 15.00 a mo they have more equipment and free weights than other gyms and the staff is always friendly and helpful... If youre serious about working out i would definitely recommend the French Riviera...
French Riviera is a great gym. It is very affordable and has a large amount of exercising equipment. Their personal trainer program is great for people who want to grow and see results from there effort in exercising. My prrsonal trainer Tina listen to what I wanted to get of going to the gym and came up with a training program to help me accomplish my goals. She pushed me to grow stronger while making sure I grew in a safe and health way.
Love love my trainer, Wendy Elizabeth Capo😘! She is such an amazing person and a perfect match for me. Ive never enjoyed working out until she became my trainer. She totally change my life, and give me so much confident in myself! And the employee here is so generous and courteous.
I have been training with Emily for the past month. She is so great and encouraging. She not only provides me with great workouts but gives awesome nutrition advice and help. Love working with her and really enjoy the gym.
The staff are very friendly and the gym is great! I have a personal trainer Emily that is super awesome! Her approach is tailored to your needs and she is so full of energy. I really enjoy my sessions twice a week.
My personal trainer, Emily, is awesome!she really listens to you and what your goals are to customize your plan to reach your personal goals efficiently and safely.The only reason I give this four stars is because the gym gets really busy at the turn of a hat and the parking could be better.Other than that, they have an awesome sauna, hydromassage, womens only workout room and great trainers that are always friendly and willing to help you reach your full potential.
I wanted to muscle up after I lost weight so I decided to use a personal trainer. Wendy Capo has been training me for the last 8 months and I can see such a change in my body. I could never do it alone because I wouldnt push myself enough. Wendy encourages me to keep going and it has made a big difference in the way I look and feel. She knows my abilities better than I do and capitalizes on that.Thank you Wendy!!!!
My wife and I have been members of the Metairie French Riviera for 20 years and have always enjoyed using the equipment and the upgrades to the facility. Prices are very reasonable, and unlike some, I have never had problems with billing. The staff are very friendly, always saying hello and have a good day upon leaving. Ive been working with a personal trainer for over four years and also find that group enjoyable to be around. Kirk is extremely helpful with my workouts. He is very knowledgeable about training, even for an old guy like me. The facility, staff, and trainers create a great experience. Join.
French Riviera has been the first gym that I truly feel comfortable working out in. Ive been to many other types of gyms (month to month chains, crossfit, group boot camps) but this is one of a kind. Emily Martinez was my trainer while I was doing personal classes and she was more than I expected! She pushed me to my limits and further, and never let me get discouraged. What an empowering coach! I would recommend her to anyone!
Emily is absolutely exceptional in every single way. She is, without a doubt, the most positive and supportive coach I have ever had. Emily likes to challenge you and help you achieve goals you never thought was possible. Working out with Emily is never dull, because she is constantly switching up routines, and exposing you to new things. She practically lives, breathes, and eats fitness. Youre making a mistake if you dont work out with her!
Absolutely love going to French! The staff is amazing, especially my trainer, Erin! She has taught me so much and put me on the best track to live a healthy lifestyle! If it werent for her I definitely wouldnt enjoy going to the gym as much!
Really enjoyed training with Wendy. Pushed me to my limit and I loved every minute. 58 Years old, trained my entire life and have never gotten to the level she brought me to.Thanks Wendy!!
My trainer Emily is the best!!! Not only is she a great source of inspiration but also a great source of information. I had some back trouble and she was able to work with my condition, showing me different stretches and strength building core exercises. Plus, point me in the right direction of a great physical therapist who has unique technics eliminating pain immediately and long term. Thank you Emily for all your support and continued efforts!!!
Tina is one of the best trainers. She knows just how far to push me and what I need to work on. She is incredibly upbeat and inspirational and I could not ask for a better person for my mission to a better and more healthy me.
The manager very rude his name is Roy
My trainer Tina is the BOMB!!!She keeps me on track and motivated!!This is my second time having her as a trainer and I love the results. I highly recommend her and French Riviera. I love the flexibility!!!
Great gym with a very friendly and helpful staff. The equipment is well kept and the facility is taken care of and clean. Plenty of cardio equipment as well as weights. Group classes are awesome and free! And personal training department is top notch with super competent trainers that work with you individually to accomplish your goals.
I really like working out at French Rivera. My trainer Tina is wonderful, she motivates me, gives me proper plan of approach for my work out.I think I made a good choice opting this Gym and Tina rocks!
I have been training with Tina for a little over a year now. She is excellent! She knows where to target the problem areas and works with you. She also makes it fun to work out. I enjoy working out and look forward to my appointment with tina!
My trainer Wendy at the Carrollton location is the best. She is a great upgrade this gym has ever had. Awesome, superb and very motivating. I just love her spirit and I highly recommend her. Thank you Wendy!!!!!
My trainer, Emily Martinez, is a very motivational and driven trainer! I enjoy her sessions very much! She is very thorough and professional with her clients! I appreciate her efforts and I would highly recommend her services to others.
The gym is very good. I like the yoga and Pilates classes as well as group training with Erin. All of these teachers are very good. I am always excited to go to the gym. I am so grateful for them getting me in shape.
Ive been training with Emily Martinez for 6 months now and I absolutely love her!!! She always makes me feel accomplished after my workouts and inspires me to be fit! She is very kind and if I train again it will be with her without a doubt! Thank you Emily!!!💜💜💪🏻💪🏻
This is still the Best Gym in the city!The Staff is extremely knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile to make your experience the best! The Personal Trainers are easily approachable and Strive to help you reach your goals !!!
I cant give enough praise to my trainer Emily!!! She is patient, understanding, motivating, and very knowledgable when it comes to workouts! However, my favorite quality about Emily is that she genuinely cares about her clients and gets to know us on a more personal level - that makes a huge difference. Emily is a wonderful trainer and friend that Im lucky to have!
I was asked to write this review by my trainer @ the gym. Not really sure what to say since Im most of my reviews are of products instead of businesses.I definitely do work up a sweat there 4 times a week. Training with her has certainly been MUCH more effective than any of the PT that I used to do in the Army years ago. Its also the only reason that I look forward to getting out of bed in the morning too.Ive even been able to take off a few pounds and consistently keep them off too. The Army wasnt always effective at that, either. :POverall, Id say this is the best gym Ive ever been to in my life since its the only one Ive stuck with for any real amount of time.
You get what you pay for. The choice of equipment is awesome although aging. Half the time you’ll find missing clips(don’t bother asking staff). One of the stair masters seems to be at all times broken. Instead of wipes they use paper towels which are empty half the time. So you’ll have to walk half the gym just to be able to wipe the equipment down before and after. The sauna is not exactly clean. The men’s restroom toilet seats have been deteriorating for over a year. That all being said-it’s only $10 a month.
I love French Riviera! And I love my personal trainer, TINA!!! French Rivieras facility is always clean, and I dont feel bogged down by crowds or meat-head stereotypes. Tina is awesome! She can and will push you, but shes always got an eye on you to make sure she isnt pushing you too far. All of the staff that Ive mingled with have been nice and supportive, but Im glad I have Tina on my side!
Emily is my trainer. She ROCKS! She designed exercises just for my needs and helped me overcome some aches and pains. I feel better now than I have in years. And Im in better shape too! Yeah, Emily! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trainer.
I love Emilys 6 a.m. spin classes-- wish there was one each morning during the week! She is very uplifting, energetic, and her themed days are my favorite!
Can’t keep TV’s on. Used to be a great place to work out. I should know I have been a member since 1995.
Place smells like a high-school locker room after a football game. Equipment is old and often broken. They cant keep most trainers for more than a few months. There dress code was changed in the middle of my contract and I had to go buy all new shirts just to use there, they refused to cancel my contract and refund me the remainder. The clientele is getting worse.
My experience at French has been great so far. Their variety and quantity of machines is very accommodating. Was excited when they finally got a Stairmaster. The gym is very clean and the staff was super friendly.
I joined French Rivera over 3 years ago. Must be honest, i stay with it because of my trainer, Tina. Really enjoy working out with Tina and have gained friends/workout partners through her. Ive definitely improved my fitness level and also avoided injury, thanks to appropriate training.The Metairie location does have some issues. It definitely has some hot zones that are never cool enough for me as well as that funky gym smell. Front desk staff is always pleasant and when Ive needed help or found something wrong with the equipment, they do get it fixed quickly.
I am thankful for Erin making me feel younger again with her fantastic classes. She is an A plus instructer that is patient and enthusiastic. She comes highly recommended!
Oh My Gosh!!! I am so loving my membership to Fr Riviera. A great sincere thanks to my Trainer Tina. Your support and drive keeps me motivated.
Bad service even if its a $1 month I wouldnt go. To cancel the membership was a nightmare, it took forever .over chagerged me and I had to go from one person to another to beg for my refund. Best advice DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT.
My overall experience with French Riviera on Cleary is 10/10. I walk in and Im greeted by an always happy receptionist. Any questions I have are happily answered by the staff and when Im done my routine, I leave in a good mood from all the smiling faces.
My friend recommended this gym and at first I was hesitant. After being a member for over 7 months now, I have nothing but good things to say about it. The gym is much bigger inside than most people expect. I love the cardio section and the free weights. I have never had a problem with the staff and found them to be very nice. After a long workout I love sitting in the sauna to ease my muscles. You should def check this place out.
I joined another fitness facility on Jan 1, 2015. I decided to switch to French Riveria in March (30 pounds loss) of the same year after visiting with a staff member and getting a very welcoming feeling. Shortly after that I met with Ricky for a fitness consultation. He put me thru a short workout, talked with me about my weight loss goals and convinced me to start with a personal trainer. Thank you Ricky!I began in the beginning of April with personal trainer Tina. My weight loss to date is 98 pounds. A huge chunk of that loss is due to Tinas exercise instruction, constant encouragement, understanding, pushing, nutritional knowledge and genuine love for what she does. She helped me rehab my knee after surgery in August with care and patience. I dont think I would have had this weight loss success without her. Im 57 years old and probably in the best shape I have been in over 35 years.The gym is very clean, the equipment is rarely down. The entire staff are very friendly and helpful.
The classes here are just what I need after a long day and my training sessions with Emily are always amazing! I love how she caters each exercise to the individual instead of making everyone overwork or underwork their body. Shes been a great personal trainer and well worth the investment for my health.
I called several times to get a refund because of what’s going on with the virus and couldn’t get it my money back 😠 I paid in full for 6 months on February. I went for 1 week to the gym, thats when the governor ordered the “stay at home” . I paid for nothing.
The gym is always clean and well maintained, very friendly staff. Ive always been greeted as I come in and as I leave. There are a wide variety of workout classes available almost everyday, all day and the gym hours are perfect.The main reason I give French Riviera 5 stars though, is their excellent personal training staff. Especially Emily. I signed up for a 6 month personal training plan and honestly was a little skeptical and nervous. I had never joined a gym before so everything was extremely new to me. Emily has always been so patient, understanding, and easy to work with. Her upbeat and kick butt attitude has helped keep me energized and so motivated, that eventually it wasnt uncommon for me to continue working out by myself after our sessions! I love the fact that shes always available and always has advice for healthy eating, pre/post workout drinks, etc. Since starting my training with Emily, Ive lost 13 pounds, gained muscle and confidence, and learned about proper nutrition. I will always 100% recommend French Riviera to anyone.
Scotty is awesome and cares about his clients! He is both professional and personable at the same time. My son was preparing to go off and play football in college and he was very flexible with the training schedule. Workouts are creative, effective and is personalized to your focus of work areas. Thanks Scotty!!!!!
My trainer Emily is very encouraging and pushes me when I need it. She knows what shes talking about and always makes sure Im using the right weights. Shes a very good trainer.
The Staff at French is always helpful! Tina the trainer is always giving good advice and workout tips to help keep you injury free! I have been a member since 1993!
Emily is fantastic! I bought a series of sessions for my wife and told Emily to turn her into a trophy wife. Emily thought I deserved a 1st class trophy. As an added bonus she periodically cause her pain!
