Smaller gym a little different than what I'm used to but employees are constantly picking up weights and cleaning off equipment and it has enough machine variation and free weight equipment to get a nice workout in.

A great gym for a great price. Nice clean facility and a very friendly helpful staff. Thank You for responding so quickly about the loud music issue. You fit is awesome. Ive edited the review to 5 stars.

I am VERY concerned regarding the SAFETY of the patrons at the Manhattan Location in New Orleans. The incline benches are entirely too close and definitely presents a high risk of injury due to the machine proximity. The area manager is well aware of this safety issue and has refused to correct the problem. He's been given recommendation of how to effectively situate the benches without compromising the health and safety of the patrons.
He simply refuses at adhere to this safety concern.
I have taken several multi angle pictures waiting to be used in a court of law. Negligence on behalf of the manager will cost YOUFIT monetary damages. This can be avoided if the Manager does his job and just use common sense.

I called 3 times and my message was never delivered 2 a manager until he answered the phone.Beware when you cancel your account ON TIME youfit will still charge your account and hopefully its not a idle, I was told it was human error and it takes up 2 30days for a refund but the overdraft charge is on you and your bank,wow

This is a great place for a workout. Machines like the Elliptic and Spin bike have TV that you an program the channels and use headsets. Also they have a circuit of machines with a light for a timer. The staff is friendly and polite. The cost is low.

it'd be 1000000x BETTER if they had more abdominal machines.. there's only like 2 abdominal machines, but a million machines for your arms and legs, unacceptable.

Customer Service should improve. Regardless if the guest are seeking a trainer or just trying to find a friendly/welcoming environment to help with health and fitness goals these aspects keep people coming to the gym and recommending others. Pretty clean gym though, not so crowded and equipment is all one needs to have a legit workout regimen.

The place is a hang out. I was one of the first members to join, I liked it up till they started hiring random people. I remember a guy working there with a Hugh beard. The beard didnt bother me but his attitude did! He would hang out with his friends and the whole time. I stopped going for about a half a year. I finally started back up and I liked the staff a whole lot more, but still skeptical on the crowd that goes there. I saw a review that said the place is ratchet. Most of the clientele are that way. I've lived on the West Bank for awhile now the place is nice it is clean and the staff is better but I just can't deal with the people that hang out there. One guy came in with a hair brush attached to his head with color matching head phones and all he did was walk around. Not the gyms fault but it is the customer the area will attract. I'm seriously thinking about spending extra to go to anytime fitness. I'll miss the low cost but if it will get me to some straight up working out people I'm so cool with that.

This gym called 911 on me. Here's what happened.
I've been a member for almost a year. I belong to a Crossfit/Jujitsu gym as well, so I work out at YouFit infrequently. This is why I want to cancel my membership.
When I first joined I tried to take off my shoes to lift weights. I'm not talking about trekking all over the gym in bare feet; I tried to slip off my shoes to do a set of deadlifts and immediately put them back on again, as it provides a better foundation for that exercise. I was informed that was against the rules. I expressed that I thought it was a silly policy, but I complied and bought wrestling shoes.
I had a similar incident almost immediately with jumping rope. I was told that jumping rope was forbidden inside a YouFit facility, regardless of the location. (I did it in a corner, staying out of everyone's way.) This time I didn't even bother to argue, I just never brought my rope in again. During both of these incidents the staff was extremely confrontational from the first exchange.
Fast forward to almost a year later, today. I'm deadlifting again, and a staff member comes over and tells me weight lifting chalk is forbidden. Now I've been using chalk for over a year. After the shoe incident I read a copy of the rules and there's nothing about chalk in them. I also spoke with the club GM, and he specifically told me chalk was okay. I put it on top of paper towels to keep it off the floor and clean up anything that's left when I'm done.
I politely tried to express this to the woman who confronted me, but she told me I'd been a problem since day one, I had notes in my file, and that if I couldn't follow all the rules she would revoke my membership. I asked if there was anyone else I could speak to, and she pointed me to man working out in regular clothes (not a YouFit uniform, I'm not even sure he worked there) who basically doubled down on what she said.
At this point I was done. I gathered my belongings, stepped on the chalk, and walked to the locker room to get my bag. I stopped at the front desk so they could revoke my membership. The woman tried to get me to electronically sign a form without letting me read it. When I told her no she literally yelled at me "Just sign the form!" Again I refused until she spun the monitor around so I could read it. Then she tried to collect $10 from me, which I refused to pay. She laughed and said then you're still a member here.
At this point a male employee walked up and said "Leave." Just like that. I asked for a card with some kind of contact information. He didn't respond to my request, just told me to leave. I tried to explain that I needed something with a phone number or an email address so I could cancel my membership and report this incident to corporate, and he told me if I didn't leave he would call the police. I don't like to be threatened so I told him to go ahead.
After he finished the 911 call, I asked him if he wanted me to wait for the police or leave now. He refused to acknowledge me. I didn't want the police to think I had run, and I didn't know what kind of crazy nonsense they might say about me, so I went next door, got coffee, and came back in to wait for the police. When they arrived I explained what happened, and they told me I was free to go and have a nice day.
Incidentally, the guy in the civilian clothes who claimed to be the manager told me that no chalk had always been a rule and was written down. (Untrue, as of October of last year.) The girl who refused to revoke my membership over $10 told me the Regional Manager had made that rule LITERALLY yesterday.
In any event, the whole thing could have been avoided if the girl had said something to the effect of, "I beg your pardon Sir. We have a new rule in the club, and I have to ask you to put your chalk away."
All these people know how to do is escalate conflict.
