I joined Body Shoppe just over 2 years ago with hopes of getting into shape and maintaining a healthier lifestyle. My expectations were FAR EXCEEDED. I not only achieved my initial goal, but joined the most welcoming, uplifting, supportive fitness community I could have ever imagined. Kelsey and the Body Shoppe team are so personable and go above and beyond to help and educate in any way they can. I always leave the studio sweating and smiling, in a better mood than when I arrived. The instructors always make me feel motivated to reach my full potential, but safe and encouraged to make modifications if needed. There is no pressure! I have taken every class and can truly say I have felt uniquely challenged in each one. My favorites are Tempo Dance Cardio and HIIT+Flow. Tempo is unlike any workout I have ever experienced. It is the BEST DANCE PARTY in New Orleans! If you are looking for a fun, high-intensity, full body workout, this is your class! The choreography is easy to catch on to and you will have the best time shaking your booty! The cardio is challenging and there is a perfect balance of arm/core/booty exercises. I have always loved HIIT circuits, but Body Shoppe puts their twist on HIIT to make it even better and adds in a flow portion which incorporates yoga. Flex+Flow is my go-to when Iām in more of a pilates mood and Hard Core is the ultimate ab workout. I can guarantee you that regardless of which class you take, you will have a positive experience. You will feel the good energy when you walk into the studio. They also have yummy shakes that you can pre-order before class which will be ready for you when you finish! And donāt forget to check out the infrared sauna for the ultimate relaxing experience. And grab cute merch on your way out. Body Shoppe has truly become my happy place and I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a feel-good, judgment-free workout space. I started with the 2 week intro package, upgraded to the unlimited monthly membership, and never looked back. Joining Body Shoppe has been the best decision I have ever made for my physical and mental health. Try it out - you...

Body Shoppe is easy to access, the workouts start and end on time, the facilities make it easy to get ready for work or an outing after class, and the team is your cheer squad!
Body Shoppe's classes are creative and well organized. The gathering space and shop around the front desk is a comfortable space to meet with friends and relax before or after class. The fitness room itself is dark enough that you don't feel like the spotlight and all eyes are on you, but lit with colorful black lights so you can still see yourself in the mirror and the instructor's moves. My favorite class is the Tempo Dance Cardio. The routines repeat for a few weeks before the format is changed, and it is easy to catch on to most of the routine on your first class. I am sore the day after every class, but can still live my life and move.
The very, very best thing about Body Shoppe is that everyone who works there is excited to see you, wants you to be comfortable, and welcomes you into the Body Shoppe family.
I haven't tried the infrared sauna quite yet, but it's such a rare amenity to find that we are so lucky to have at this great spot. The showers and bathroom facilities are big, clean, and well stocked. Lockers with personalized codes...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreBody Shoppe is not just a fitness studio, it is an insanely special space filled with amazing people who will NOT let you leave without putting a SMILE on your face. I never thought I could do 4 classes in 2 days, but these peeps made it possible, they gave me modifications, encouragement, and made me laugh. Love love love Body Shoppe, and can't wait for my next trip to NOLA and to go back!
Dance Cardio - fun, energetic, I am not a dancer and it was so much fun, you workout but it doesn't feel like a workout because it's also a PARTAYYY
Flex and Flow - enough sweat and work to make me feel like it was a good workout, which is usually my complaint about yoga, so good and relaxing at the end
HIIT - hard, but enough variability that you're on to the next exercise before you have time to complain, Kelsey keeps ya motivated
KELSEY is the most inspiring person ever :) she has always been who I look up to, and now I have even bigger cousin shoes to follow in! The whole Shoppe Squad is awesome - loved Morgan's class, she is an amazing instructor and warm and genuine person; so happy got to meet the bubbly and creative Antonia, talented and fun Bobby, and outgoing and fun Danny who put up with meeting my crazy family!
LOVING...
