Red Lerille’s Health & Racquet Club

Actually, I rejoined again and things are much better. They have done a pretty great job of getting the place going again in the right direction. Nice staff.

Red’s is the best full-​service gym I’ve ever been in. Their facilities are clean and up to date and their staff is friendly. I take fitness classes and use the pool, and I can highly recommend both. Additionally, they have good child care at a very reasonable hourly rate.

Incredible!
This place has everything you could ever want… and then some!

Red’s is an amazing health club.
They keep improving areas all of the time. They are building a new indoor field for camps and individual training. Red, himself is so inspirational…“you have to lift weights for life”…he continues to be amazing. There are so many amenities, seperate weight rooms for women, hot tubs and saunas even the showers have soap, shampoo and conditioner if you are desperate and have forgotten your own.
They provide the towels. there is plenty of activities for children and they have daycare services. The café serves good food. There is a registration fee and for a single membership it costs $ 60 a month including tax.
They are open way early in the morning and close up late at night. It is money well spent!

Yes we all know that Red’s is one the best gym facility’s ever, but all the steroid junkies are annoying in the lower weightroom.

I really love this health club. they have absolutely everything. when my husband and i were in grad school, we gave up a lot of little luxuries to be able to keep our membership. now that we have a family, it is even better. the childcare is impeccable, the people there really care about my kids and the kids always have a great time. the classes they offer are really great as well, the instructors are very knowledgeable and friendly. the pools are second to none in Lafayette and we’re there every day during the summer trying to keep cool. The food is top notch and most of it is pretty healthy.
the only downside is the people. there are some that are very «Lafayette».the oil money is there, but the vast majority are real people who don’t care about that shallow façade.
Easily the best health club in Lafayette. City Club has the same clientele, but the focus isn’t on fitness as much as it is on socialization.

It pains me to write this since when I work out here I am stared at as if I plan to steal a Nordic Track simply because of my tattoos. However, this is without an ounce of doubt the best workout facility in the world. Clean, well kept and staffed and awesome group classes. I’ve been going to Reds since I was 3 years old… that’s 25 years. I learned to swim here, play tennis, racquet ball and even got my first kiss on the steps by the racquet ball courts.
The food menu isn’t so shabby either. As I’ve stated before, I don’t eat meat these days, but I remember how awesome the bbq beef baked potatoes are. Why would you work out and then scarf down some BBQ beef… not sure, but you should try it anyways.
There are 3 pools and a separate cold plunge. Each locker room has a sauna and a hot tub. There is a boxing ring, basketball court and endless tennis courts indoor and outdoor. Two running tracks and a separate womens weight room and another co-​ed weight room.
It’s worth whatever it costs for a family membership… it’s 50 for a single. Even if you go once a month, it’s so awesome that it’s worth it.
