I've been going to the Snap Fitness Plaquemine location for more than a decade now. I can confidently say that the current management is the best the location has ever had. Broken equipment gets fixed or replaced promptly. A week or so ago, the main door handle was broken (it had to be pushed up instead of down to allow anyone to exit from the inside). This was fixed a week later. The big pothole in the driveway ramp entry which lingered there for YEARS was finally fixed. There is a brand new vending machine with fully stocked drinks. When staff aren't around, they still communicate with the gym patrons via little post-it notes outside of doors and on the wall. The notes will contain info pertinent to the gym, like upcoming classes or ETA's on equipment being fixed.
The management before the current management was horrible and I thought the gym was doomed. Seeing things uplifted like this is a pleasant surprise.
My only two minor complaints (which I won't dock a star for) are that some gym members continuously do not return plates, dumbbells and various other equipment after they are done using them. In my opinion gym members found to be doing this repeatedly after being warned should be terminated faster so that the rest of us aren't constantly being tasked with picking up their mess behind them.
And the gym can get pretty hot. It's usually not bad in the middle of the night or when it's mostly vacant, but in the daytime with a crowd, I don't think the current temperature is low enough.
That said, these two things have been forever-issues at this gym, and I must give credit where it's due on all the other fronts...
Read morethe gym is small so going early in the morning is highly recommended then you can workout without waiting unlike in the evening time. when I was here 2 years ago they remodeled and brought in all new equipment, since the they have not taken good care of it. the staff seem nice but they NEVER clean. The bathroom always runs out of toilet paper, the bathrooms are never clean they just pick up the TP and that's it. the water faucet has never been cleaned in the 3 months I've been here because I placed a broken piece of it on the top and it had grown mold around that part, if it was not for the customers using the eq6and cleaning it afterwards this gym would be filthy. other than cleanliness this gym has...
