Southside Health & Fitness

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for over two years, I absolutely love how it's constantly adding to its variety of equipment. It has great hours (24hr gym) and a variety of Certified Personal Trainers teaching classes and personal sessions. I am a Powerlifter and this place has everything I need. I definitely recommend this gym if you're trying to get fit or even compete as an athlete.

Positive experience: Nice enough gym. I think they've got the right idea in the sense that there is a little something for everybody (free weights, smith machine, squat rack, circuit training equipment, cardio machines, various fitness classes, sauna, tanning, AND a daycare); however, for the price - which is comparable to just about every other gym in town - they are still lacking. Their hours are minimal, they do not offer personal training, and their focus seems to be on improving things for their female clientele only (adding extra classes, organizing raffles, etc) and nothing else. Some of their basic equipment has been out of order for MONTHS. All negativity aside, Southside Health & Fitness is clean, the staff is friendly, and I always enjoy the other gym goers. All in all, it is good enough. Not horrible but not great enough for me to recommend to family and friends.

Fantastic experience: Southside Health & Fitness has everything I need; I run, lift weights and take a few classes and I am always satisfied when I leave after my workout! Price is comparable to other gyms in the area and group fitness classes are included with the membership. Not to mention, the gym is clean and the staff is friendly!

Fantastic experience: Zumba class is the best!!!Great for shaping up and concentrates on the core !

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Southside Health & Fitness for almost a year now and cannot imagine a better place to workout. They offer plenty of free weights, machines, and cardio equipment. The group classes offered are fun and most importantly they help burn calories and build strength.

Fantastic experience: SSHF is a great workout facility with just about every piece of equipment you could want for your workout. The space that is available is bigger than appears from the outside and you never feel cramped. It has a wide variety of weight lifting equipment as well as group fitness classes. This gym is perfect for any type of workout and also offers childcare which is great for families and has friendly and certified staff. Very affordable, and I have done my research when it comes to gyms in Lafayette, this is the best bang for your buck!

Fantastic experience: As a member for about a year now, I recommend SouthSide to any one in the Lafayette area. Overall, it is a great gym. They have a wide variety of free weights and a lot of space to do basically whatever workout you want. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They keep the gym extremely clean, it has never been dirty or unorganized when I go in. And they have a lot of group classes that are fun and interesting to try.

Positive experience: Great Equipment, classes, and friendly staff. The cost is a bit too much. I can think of at least 5 gyms that are at least $15 dollars cheaper, some as much as $30, and one that I know of even has a pool. The hours are ok for the end of 1st and 3rd shifts, but not for second shifters.

Positive experience: Hard to reach the person to cancel your membership. Many times I cam in during stated hours and couldn't find anyone to cancel. Finally got it canceled.

Positive experience: old style gym- hubby loves it, has the weights he needs. Some things need repaired, could use a fresh makeover.... tanning bed is pointless. Good for true weight trainers/lifters. love 24/7 access... staff was always nice.... 18 month contract, locked in, costs more than most places... but we feel its worth it.... Quiet, good etiquette by most members, always open and easy to get and out w a good workout between!

Positive experience: My husband and I have been members of Southside for a couple of years now. We have had a good experience while at Southside Health & Fitness. The staff at this gym let you do your workout and don't incessantly talk to you or anything like that. Any billing issues that we have had have been taken care of promptly and we have been informed when mistakes have been made. The only downside to this gym is the fact that there are at least a few broken machines (especially cardio machines) on a day to day basis, and sometimes it takes a while to get them fixed. Regardless of the one downside, I would still recommend this gym as a really good option for a gym in Lafayette. If you are more interested in classes than in just going to work out, there might be better options for you in town, but Southside is a good choice for those of us that aren't interested in the classes but want to get a good workout.

Fantastic experience: Pros - excellent equipment, open 24/7, plenty of space, never too crowded, positive staffing, clean facility, broad choice of equipment, classes and training. Cons - *crickets*

Positive experience: Expensive charge for things I feel they shouldn't but they were nice, its clean and close to home

Fantastic experience: I've been a member here for over a year and this is not my first gym membership. In all honesty there is no other gym in town to compare Southside with. Snap and anytime don't have nearly as much equipment and the y isn't 24/7. And after reading reviews about people having trouble with billing. The one time I had trouble with my card it expired and I went into the gym in person and took care of it. I've been overdrawn once and it was fixed before it even hit the account.

Fantastic experience: The fitness classes at Southside are great. Patty's Zumba and Courtney's spinning are the best!

Fantastic experience: As an older person, exercising at Southside Health and Fitness is and has been great: Lots of variety in weight and cardio equipment that makes many work-out routines possible. Going to Southside helps tendons, ligaments, and joints feel better for my age group. The place is super clean, the staff is helpful, and members are respectful; people are focused on exercising. Easy location, plenty of safe parking. The yearly price is a bargain for one’s health and well-being.

Positive experience: The staff all seems friendly and it’s very clean. I’ve been a member for a couple years. They have a great variety of equipment from which to chose and almost anybody could find something they like to do. I feel like any gym needs a towel service and it seems odd not to have one. The equipment gets fixed slowly sometimes and the restroom/locker room could use a facelift but other than that it’s a great place to work out. It’s neither the closest nor most convenient gym to my house, but I still keep going because I like it here.

Fantastic experience: Good free weight options

Fantastic experience: 24/7!!!!
