When booking a trip to NOLA, finding a good gym is always a must. Body Docs is an old school, hardcore gym housing any equipment needed for a great workout. This family owned gym was definitely built for iron enthusiasts. I recommend those looking for a good sweat and metal weights to head over!

Best gym in New Orleans. John, the owner, is super cool and his prices are beyond fair. It's a warehouse gym, no AC and no heat, just you and the iron. He has every piece of equipment you could need to want and then some. Powerlifting, bodybuilding, strongman, if he doesn't have it, you don't need it. I'm gonna be coming back every time I am in New Orleans.

A great gym if you’re visiting from out of town. I was able to get a week pass for $35. Coming from someone who’s only been to a commercial gym, this place exceeded my expectations. It’s the little things that made a huge difference. I’m going to be devastated when I go back to my home gym. I communicated through whatsapp and was able to get a quick response late at night to help get signed up.

Owner picked up the phone at 8pm on Mardis Gras weekend to help us get a day pass after all the staff had gone home. Well equipped gym with hardcore feel. Will definitely be back when I'm in town💪

The most hardcore gym I've been too. Hard to find a hidden gem like this. This is about as wild as it could get, a real man beast gym. The owner, John, is an incredible human being. We talk about the gym and the history behind it, very interesting to know about it. If you're into extreme hardcore gyms, well, this is clone similar to the Arlington Metroflex. Any hardcore lifter should expirience Body Doc's Gym at least, once in a lifetime, got the best workout in a while. Thank you John, your gym is amazing, hope to be back one day.
