The New Normal

of Ochsner Fitness

Ochsner Fitness Center is thrilled to swing its doors back open following the COVID-19 closure in March. Things are little different, however, as our facilities are strictly abiding by government guidance to fight the spread of the virus in the state's reopening phasing.

What's New?

Ochsner Fitness Center can allow only 25% of its normal capacity in the facilities right now. To avoid long lines and hours of waiting to workout, we are requiring all members who want to come to the gym to reserve a time slot, a class or swim lane for lap swimming. For apple devices, click here to download our FITT Lab App to make your reservation. For android devices, click here. Reservations can also be made by phone and at the front desk.

 

Once the app is downloaded successfully, here is a tutorial walk-through of the app features:

 

A Few Things To Note

**Download the app before you come to facilities to avoid a long wait.

**Please book only one spot in a 24-hour window to avoid getting classes bumped off your reservation

**Classes and time slots open up 48 hours prior. So if you try to book a Tuesday class on Thursday, it's too far out to make that reservation.

**Routinely booking time slots or classes without showing will result in the removal of booking privileges.

 

Extra Precautions & Screening Processes For Your Safety

Rest assured we are taking extra precautions to make your safety our top priority. In addition to our existing safety protocols, we've added new measures to help keep you well. What you can expect: Temperature checks and screening questions at entry points of all Ochsner Health facilities including all fitness centers.

All Ochsner Fitness Center employees are required to wear a mask and members are encouraged to wear a mask. Heightened sanitation protocols, visual social distancing reminders, expanded cleaning, availability of sanitization wipes and hand sanitizer.

Restricted class sizes, designated entry and exit points for studios to avoid contact, and an occupancy limit of 25 percent in the facility.

Services Available Certain areas and services of the facility will not be available during phase one of reopening per government guidelines and due to renovations at our Harahan location.
