Roux Fitness

Fantastic experience: I love it here. I’ve been coming for about three months and I feel constantly challenged and supported at my beginning level. They have a fabulous ability to make sure that everyone from the top tier athletes to beginners get a great, safe, thorough workout.

Fantastic experience: I joined Roux Fitness about two months ago and wasn't sure what to expect from this gym. I have never done any CrossFit type of workout before, so I was a bit nervous. I had also never been in a workout "class" environment. Well.....I love it! Everyone is very supportive and the gym really feels like a community. I also really like how every day is different. I hate doing the same workout over and over. Having it changed up and scheduled for me is even better than I thought it would be. They also use an app so you can reserve a class, check-in, and see what the workout will be ahead of time. The only way I would not recommend this gym is if you don't want an amazingly intense workout with certified professional trainers that actually care if you get results and are there to make sure you don't hurt yourself.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Roux personnel and the owners are the greatest! I’ve never been a part of a gym that takes everyone’s goals individually and works directly with the person to get them there. I love this gym! The individual support they provide is unmatched.

Fantastic experience: Roux Fitness is the best fitness facility in town. They offer you fun, fitness and nutrition. When I’m there it feels like home. Thank you Bradley and Emily for helping to creating such an amazing fitness family.

Fantastic experience: Roux Fitness is an awesome community and place to workout. Bradley, Emily and all the coaches are great motivators, great teachers, very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. They have great nutrition, fitness, health and wellness programming to meet any individual’s needs. All you have to do is show up and let them take care of the rest. You will love every minute of it.

Fantastic experience: Roux Fitness is the whole package. They offer challenging workouts with modifications, nutrition coaching, and massages. I started working out at Roux in Oct of 2019 twice a week. I was so impressed with how the owners and entire staff handled the Covid situation that I cancelled the membership to my other gym (right next to my house) and became a full time member in June. I continue to be impressed with the emphasis on safety by the ownership and the level of respect by the members to keep everyone safe. The coaches are motivational and make working out fun. If you are looking for a great workout, individual feedback from coaches, and to meet new people then check out Roux Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Very good motivation and support from the Roux community. Loved and hated every second of the workouts, too ;)

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I’m a newer member and I’ve been very impressed by how nice and supportive the Roux community is! Both the trainers and the members are always willing to help and motivate you in a positive way. I definitely recommend joining!

Fantastic experience: I started Roux 3 months ago. My background in exercise over the past 15 years was sporadic at best. I've never been a gym guy. Done some moderate running and Martial Arts years ago. Most I've exercised (prior to joining Roux) was 3 times per week max. Typically twice a week. Since I joined in December, I've been exercising at Roux 4-6 times per week! The owners are humble, have passion for what they do, and practice what they preach. They even produce a podcast with helpful topics for the average person navigating the fitness and nutrition world. They have good people (members and coaches) at Roux serving as a foundation for a positive and encouraging culture. When I joined, one of the coaches, Janna, reached out to me as an accountability partner, sending me texts, inquiring about my goals, and encouraging progress. They care, they help, and they challenge you to be better than you were yesterday. I'm glad I found this place!

Fantastic experience: Roux offering excellent remote coaching was the highlight of my quarantined days! The Zoom classes provided a fun group setting during our stay at home mandate. The posted videos explaining and demonstrating each of the movements were really helpful to get through the WODs at home. It’s great to be back in person now at the gym. Roux’s coaching, community, and programming are awesome. Also, Roux’s safety measures make me feel super comfortable about working out there. I highly recommend Roux Fitness!

Fantastic experience: AWESOME-- The owners and coaches did virtual and "at home" workouts- they checked in on members and kept us informed about reopening- They are keeping the at home workouts going while the gym is reopened for phase 1- they have done a great job with keeping folks fit. They have also done an amazing job with the phase 1 reopen. This is the best community and gym ever!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Roux has been the best decision I've made in my adult life. They've helped me work through old injuries so I'm finally able to move the way I want, and I've made some amazing friends in the process. I've never been part of a better community. ❤

Fantastic experience: Roux is the best workout community I’ve ever found! Bradley and Emily truly care about their people. I was nervous to try CrossFit because of the reputation for pushing too hard and getting hurt, but the combination of great coaching and support from the community make Roux one of the best! I never feel like I have to go harder or heavier than I want to, and there’s always a coach nearby offering tips on technique. Thanks, Roux!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about this gym. Don’t let CrossFit scare you. I am a 64 year old woman and the sculpt classes they do are perfect for me. All the coaches work to make sure our form is good to avoid injury and they are good at helping me to modify if there is something I am not comfortable doing. Outside of this what I love most is the atmosphere. I feel like I am working out with my best friends. And don’t forget your first workout is FREE.

Fantastic experience: Went to Roux for almost a year. I don’t generally like working out, but they made it pretty fun and it was definitely good for someone who doesn’t know how to plan and wants to get in better shape. A bit expensive (as all crossfit gyms are) but definitely a good place to go to.

Fantastic experience: Covid 19 got nothing on Roux. This gym set up online workouts for members and zoom classes. Roux helped me keep my sanity during quarantine. They’ve now reopened and implemented social distancing in each class & all equipment is sanitized after use. I’m so happy to be back with familiar faces even if it is 6 ft apart!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I joined Roux after my previous gym closed. Everyone was so kind and inviting. Every workout can be modified to fit any skill level. I love how the coaches really spend the time to make sure we are doing it correctly to prevent any injuries.

Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked into Roux Fitness, Emily made me feel like I was home. Her attention to detail and ability to carefully listen to my needs and goals make this Gym simply one of a kind. The staff at Roux goes above and beyond the task of coaching. As we sit here in the midst of a National Quarantine and all gyms have been forced to closed, the staff has enveloped us in an online community providing daily home work outs, nutritional programming and some comedy relief! Grateful for my Roux Family and can’t wait to get back in the gym.

Fantastic experience: I was apprehensive about joining a CrossFit gym because you hear a lot about needing certain skills or about people getting injured but it was close to the house so I walked in one day off the street. Best decision I could have made!!! The coaches and members made me feel welcome even though I had no idea what I was doing. The equipment and programming can be modified for any fitness level. The atmosphere is great and it inspired me to be more active and healthy. So thank you to all the coaches and members who pushed me just enough during class to make me better. I’ll definitely be back for those noon workouts!!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at Roux for 3 weeks after leaving another gym in the area. I have never felt more welcomed at a gym. The word “CrossFit” can be very intimidating, but there truly is something for everyone here. They offer modifications to the workouts as well as personal modifications if someone has an injury or something they’re battling. I love that you can go at your own pace during a workout, but can still be pushed and challenged. Involvement from the owners making members feel valued and heard is a huge thing in my opinion to keep a business alive and Emily does an amazing job at that! All of the coaches have been so great and I truly am so happy I decided to join Roux. I’m excited to see how the future of my fitness journey will be here!

Fantastic experience: When I first moved to New Orleans I tried out every Crossfit gym in the area. After my first visit, Bradley gave me a call to ask me about my experience. This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to professionalism here. Pair that with excellent coaches and an amazing facility and you have yourself one heck of a gym! Easily the best in New Orleans and one of the best I’ve ever been to!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Roux is a place where you can go and just be who you are! No matter your skill set! The coaches are all very knowledgeable and attentive! They help make your fitness goals possible! The community of people there is like being in a large family! Everyone pushes you and helps you! CrossFit Roux isn’t just a regular box, it is a home for anyone!

Fantastic experience: Roux is everything you are looking for in one place - great facilities and equipment, a variety of programming, and the best coaches I’ve ever worked with. On top of all that, Roux has created a community among the members and staff that is supportive, motivating, and a ton of fun to be a part of. When they had to shut down during COVID 19 they immediately pivoted to live online training, with totally new daily workouts we could do without access to all the usual equipment. They used every means available to keep us all connected, motivated, and active. Roux has always run a very clean gym, but now that we are easing back in from the COVID shut down, it is obvious that they have stepped it up even more. But while there are new protocols to make sure we all stay healthy, the old familiar feel is exactly the same, and it is good to be back. Thank you Roux!

Fantastic experience: I am very new to Roux Fitness, as I joined during the stay-at-home order, but it has been nothing but the absolute best experience so far. During the stay-at-home order, they provided daily guided at-home workouts that really helped get me back into the groove of working out. Everyone has been so incredibly nice and welcoming. I was definitely nervous at first that my first real class in the gym would be intimidating, but all of the coaches are so helpful, and everyone just wants you to do your absolute best. I am absolutely loving it so far! 10/10 highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: It matters that the owners and coaches care about their members! Excellent communication through the closure for COVID-19 virus. At a disturbing time for everyone it was comforting to see Bradley and Emily leading the coaching staff and members with kindness, caring and comedy! Fitness challenges as well as fun stuff kept members engaged during our time away. Happy to be back to the gym knowing that measures are being taken to keep us fit and safe!

Fantastic experience: I have recently join CrossFit Roux and I am new to the world of CrossFit, so far it has been a great experience. The staff/coaches at Roux are very helpful and observant, they will step in and guide you through new lifts/movements and provide feedback on how you can improve and when you’re doing well. The workouts change each day and provide a really good challenge. The vibe at Roux is very welcoming and getting to know the coaches and the other people in the gym is encouraged daily before each workout which really makes the experience at Roux something special.

Fantastic experience: Roux is the most well-run, thoughtful, and dedicated gym out there. The coaches truly care about the members, and are always thinking of ways support the unique needs of each of us. This was most evident in the way they handled the closures due to COVID-19. Even prior to closing, they were taking thoughtful steps to ensure safety and health in the gym, and then when everything was shut down state-wide, they immediately adapted with grace and honesty. Posting daily video tutorials, loaning out equipment, multiple zoom workouts each day, offering facebook challenges, and even providing guided-meditation for everyone, as we dealt with the stress of these challenging times. Oh, and they really want you to be strong and healthy - but those things almost come easily after all the support and love you feel from the owners and coaches.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Roux since 2016. I have found this group of coaches and members just like my last box on northshore. They are more than a community, but a family. During Covid 19, Our Head Coach and owner create a remote program with zoom that classes were able to continue at home with a coach leading and watching members. We were also able to check out equipment for the Stay Home time frame. They kept members engaged and involved. Daily video of workouts were done for next day. Roux stepped up and kept us going when others shut down.

Fantastic experience: The community at Roux is simply amazing.Throughout the COVID pandemic they have worked with me and other members by offering remote programming and nutrition challenges that allowed us to stay fit while being out of the box. They also personally reached out to make sure that I was doing okay during lockdown which really meant a lot to me. I can truthfully say that the coaches here at Roux really do care about your health and personal growth, which is not something that you can find everywhere you go.

Fantastic experience: I started with Roux Fitness through their Golden Ticket promotion in January 2019. I have really enjoyed my experience with this group. You workout at your own pace & level. The coaches are supportive, encouraging and readily available to assist you in modifying a routine or movement based on your ability. The other members are friendly, helpful & supportive.

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough about the krewe at Roux. After having crosfitted at another box almost decade ago and stopped after a series of nagging injuries. I thought I never get to do it again. But lo and behold a good friend (I'm lookin at you Heidi!) encouraged me to head to Roux. I was hooked. Not only can I workout safely with coaches who give direction and encouragement, I can get a ton of variety. From sculpt classes to boxing to traditional CrossFit workouts, there is something for all people and all levels. I couldn't be happier to be at Roux and the community is best and most fun I have ever been in. Welcoming, encouraging and warm, everyone just wants to see you succeed (and they encourage between sets dancing!) Every coach is a good and thorough as the next and I look forward to each WOD. If you're thinking about it, stop thinking and come try a class!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. Outstanding coaching and support during the workouts. Workouts are tough but honestly they are fun. Gym is always organized, clean and has parking. Like the variety of classes, crossfit, sculpt, boxing, all levels of people participating... Coaches and members are motivating and helpful throughout the workout.

Fantastic experience: Roux Fitness and the Roux coaches are awesome. Having never done CrossFit or weightlifting before, the coaches pay extremely close attention to proper form and push me to be better and stronger. The coaches and the other gym members have a welcoming attitude and are great to get to know. I thoroughly enjoy working out at Roux and being part of the Roux family.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Super fun and laid back members, no egos! Coaches are very welcoming and knowledgeable. Workouts are challenging but they give you options to adjust based on your fitness level. Also have a ton of different classes and different times which is really important for me as I have a very busy schedule. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants have fun improving themselves! Thanks Roux!

Fantastic experience: I find that community and commraderie are important when it comes fitness and health; There is a strong foundation of both at Roux Fitness. What sold me on their brand and business comes down to how I was treated by the other people working out, whom we're regulars. I was assisted in modifying workouts, bit momore importantly, I was pushed and critiqued when I asked others working out to do so. Roux Fitness is the place to go if you want to make health a lifestyle within a community, and you aren't looking for a set of equipment and a talking human.

Fantastic experience: My first impression was that the people here are very welcoming. That impression has persisted for the last two years of my membership. Everyone is friendly, as exemplified by management, and the coaches strike the perfect balance between being approachable, positive, and friendly while still holding us accountable with our progress or nutrition or, in some cases, mastering that work/life balance. Considering how many members they have, I found it most remarkable that after only a few weeks at Crossfit Roux, the coaches could look at me and immediately suggest what weight I should use or whether I should scale a movement. This conveys to me how much the coaches care, because I certainly did not expected such granularity in a Crossfit class. I highly recommend Crossfit Roux to anyone moving to town in search of a new gym home; moreover, I encourage anyone wondering what Crossfit is all about to come down and give it a try.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of CrossFit Roux for about a year and a half now, and cannot say enough amazing things about this gym. I felt welcome from the moment I walked in the door. The coaches are incredible and provide a lot of personal feedback and attention during training, something that I have found lacking at other boxes. The best thing about this place, by far, is the friendly, and supportive atmosphere. Everyone is there to just get a little bit better every day. Just people showing up and working hard. Would recommend Roux to anyone looking to get in better shape and be surrounded by a bunch of amazing people doing the same.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Crossfit Roux for 3 years and it's been such a great experience! I've been to a few other boxes and we have some of the best coaches that take their time with us, work one on one with us and help us achieve our goals in fitness, nutrition and life. Roux has much to offer from a newly expanded facility with different style classes to choose from and even a massage therapist! Roux is my happy place!!!!

Fantastic experience: Love this place!!!! The coaches know their stuff, and everyone is so nice. You always have someone encouraging you to do better. In the month and a half that I've been here, I have grown so much in Crossfit. The coaches modify every workout so that I can be my best. In addition, they have other classes, such as beginning weightlifting and sculpt. If you are reading this, you NEED to try it out.

Fantastic experience: I have been to a few crossfit facilities within the past 3 years and Crossfit Roux is by far the BEST. The trainers at Roux are there to help you achieve all of your personal goals. They truly care about their members and make you feel welcomed every time you walk in. I am so happy I made the switch to Roux and look forward to achieving my goals with members who are ALL BAD ASS !!!!!!

Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best gym in the New Orleans area. The culture is as welcoming as one can get, the space is huge, the trainers are all friendly and dedicated to the science of lifting technique, and the amenities surpass any expectations of any gym - much less a Crossfit. There’s a unisex locker room, two bathrooms, a beautiful, handmade bar, where you can buy cold brew coffee, supplements, kombucha, and the like. Also, there’s a separate area for private massage for rehab, recovery, or relaxation. There is not much else to say except that anyone on the fence should just walk right in. You’ll feel right at home and never need another gym.

Fantastic experience: Joining roux is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am not the most confident or outgoing person so joining crossfit was a little freighting at first. After only a week it felt like home, all of the members and coaches are so supportive. Unlike most gyms the coaches actually take the time out to teach you the correct movements. Since joining roux I have improved mentally and physically, I love this place!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. The staff and members are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I was nervous to try CrossFit, but they made me feel at home right away and now I've been a member for over a year. The coaches are patient, but encouraging and really help you to develop and get better. I've dropped into a few different boxes when traveling, but none have compared to the community and environment you find at Roux!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Roux has the best coaches. Every single one of them is very knowledgeable and attentive, whether it's during the WOD or if I'm seeking advice about fitness or diet in general. There is also a strong sense of community. Everyone is supportive and friendly. This is the kind of place where everyone knows each other by name.

Fantastic experience: I have to say I have definitely caught the CrossFit bug. And I absolutely love this place! The coaches are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. There is a great comradery among the members. The overall environment is welcoming, supportive and this group likes to have fun! I have been doing this for 8 months now, and love how the workouts are varied and you can scale them to your ability (which I often have to do). In these 8 months I have had body composition changes that I never achieved with diet and cardio alone. My favorite part is being surrounded by like-minded individuals of all shapes, sizes and ages in the same class, doing the same workouts, scaled to each person’s ability. All of the coaches are great and take the time to look at your form, assist in making corrections and are always ready and willing to help achieve your personal fitness goals. They regularly schedule special events, (Hero wod workouts, running/speed classes, clean eating challenges, Battle of the Sexes, Metcons & Mimosas, Barbells & Beers, Bingo!), all of which ultimately bring the members even closer as a community. I pass lots of other workout facilities, including other CrossFit gyms to drive to Roux. If you have not done so, you should definitely check out this gym. I personally love it!

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym (um... "box") in the area. It is the largest facility with the most knowledgeable coaches who pay attention to you, correct your form, and encourage everyone. All of the members are like an extended family - there is absolutely no drama or gossip, unlike some other facilities I have belonged to. Anyone looking for a new gym to join should add Roux to list

Fantastic experience: This place is fantastic! If you want a gym experience that goes beyond exercise, then this is the place to go. In addition to exercise, there is also a focus on nutrition which many other gyms do not focus on, but should, since they go hand-in-hand. I never would have thought about joining a crossfit gym over four years ago, now I can't imagine my life without it. I joined Roux and fell in love with the sport and the gym. I have been to crossfit gyms all over the world and I can honestly say this is one of the best. There are a wide variety of additional classes offered (e.g. Olympic Lifting Classes) and a wonderful group of people that make this box a welcoming environment.

Fantastic experience: I didn’t think much of CrossFit until my friend joined Crossfit Roux and he raved about this place. A short time later I took my first Crossfit class at Roux. Since then, I’ve become “one of the family” at the gym and look forward to going as much as I can. You make friends fast, and you suffer through the workouts together–in a good way! The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and are patient with new-comers. I have to admit joining the Crossfit community was a bit intimidating, but the staff and members at Roux made it an easy adjustment. I couldn't say enough good things about this gym.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been living in New Orleans since December 2016. I wish I would have started back then! I’ve been at Roux since July. My wife and I decided to start CF because we were tired of (and failing) at globo-gym. Crossfit Roux is a special place. I looked around at every box in New Orleans and this place was by far the most welcoming and friendly. I was nervous at first and that’s probably why it took me 7 months to finally get myself to go in. After the first week I felt like I was part of the krewe. Roux has doubled its space and added several new features since July I would give it 10 stars if I could. Losing 15 lbs and feeling great is just icing on the cake! I’ve had classes with coach Bob, Tommy, Bradley, Sarah, Kevin, Janna & Matt - They all bring something to the table and because of them I get better after every class I attend.

Fantastic experience: Deciding to be a member of CrossFit Roux was one of the best decisions I ever made. The facility is first class with coaches who are incredibly present during workouts and are constantly helping me improve. I've gotten stronger physically and mentally over the last year thanks to CrossFit Roux!
