Downtown Fitness Center

Overview

Downtown Fitness Center operates two convenient gym locations in New Orleans: one in the Downtown area at Shops at Canal Place and another in the Marigny/Bywater neighborhood at the New Orleans Healing Center. These are full-service fitness centers focused on accessible, affordable workouts for all fitness levels, emphasizing strength training, cardio, group classes, and personal training. The overall atmosphere is welcoming, community-oriented, and supportive, with a strong emphasis on seniors, insurance-covered members, and travelers. Facilities promote a ‘keep NOLA strong’ vibe, offering clean, equipped spaces ideal for daily routines, rehabilitation, or high-intensity sessions.
