I have a wonderful personal trainer named Jason at this facility. I have been a client of his for over two years and he always keeps my workouts varied and fun. He has never cancelled a session and he is professional and knowledgeable .

The Elmwood Fitness Center is definitely the best fitness center in the area. The facilities are amazing and the staff isalways very helpful. The only downside is the cost, but again what should you expect? I think you definitely get what you pay for at Elmwood!

I had a choice in locations for my physical therapy and JUMPED at the chance to go to Ochsner Clinic Foundation Elmwood location. Not only was the location minutes from my house, but the staff is great. They have good hours and access to the entire facility, if necessary for your therapy. At the end of my PT, I was offered a special deal to sign up for 3 months. Great deal! PROS: You couldn't ask for more features for a physical therapist! CONS:

Nice workout center and atmosphere. Smaller than the Harahan facility but still plenty of exercise equipment, machines, and cardio machines. Newly redone floors in aerobic areas and brand new floors, equipment, and lighting in the class area. I have not frequented the Riding studio but it looks nice when opening the door. It has staffed hours but technically it is 24/7 with your Key card. If no staff is there it means no towels, pool, steam/sauna, hot tub, or shower

I have been training with Jason for approximately a year and a half. He set up a regimen for me that we follow 3x per week as per my specific needs. It has been very effective in getting my definition back, endurance and strength . I would recommend it to anyone. I look forward getting up in the morning and spending time with him on zoom, during these difficult times during the pandemic.

Jason Seifried is an amazing personal trainer. I have been training with him for over a year, and train with him twice a week. I introduced myself to him because I was impressed with his approach and demeanor as he was training another client at the gym. Before we started, he asked about my goals and objectives. He created diverse, challenging workouts for me. I felt like I was never repeating the same exercise twice. I was so impressed to hear him describe his process for developing custom training sessions to meet my goals. It’s a partnership. I see accomplishment, and I feel supported. Ochsner provides a welcoming and safe atmosphere. I highly recommend Jason Seifried.

I have been working out with OFC trainer, Jason Seifried for 3 years. (1 year during pregnancy) I have been able to achieve results that I have not seen before when working with trainers at other gyms. Workouts are just challenging enough and never boring. If you are looking for results, I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Jason at the Heritage Plaza location. You will not be disappointed!

OFC’s Heritage Plaza location is convenient, clean, and has everything you need from 24 hour access to a variety of classes. It also offers personal training sessions, which I can not speak highly enough of. I’ve been training with Jason for over two years and I couldn’t be more pleased with his calculated workouts, flexibility in schedule, and plans he gives to be implemented on days where I am not training with him. Thankful I found Heritage Plaza and Jason!

I’ve been a member at OCHSNER FITNESS CENTER for over ten years. I especially like the convenience of it because if I’m in a different part of the city working I have access to three different locations. Over the years I have taken several of their various different classes, spinning and body pump are my faves. But I recently, over the past couple of years, have had a wonderful trainer. Jason’s workouts always keep you guessing. No two sessions are ever alike and he’s completely unpredictable. This has been the key to my body finally changing. Jason is super sweet but he pushes you at the same time. It’s important to me to feel comfortable with my trainer and relaxed or else I would not continue. Overall I find OCHSNER FITNESS a well rounders club and they offer it all.
