Full disclosure: I worked the front desk of this place for about 5 – 6 months after I graduated college about 5 years ago. That said, once I moved back to Louisiana, I joined the Franco’s on Magazine and I think it’s a beautiful facility. I have since taken temporary residence on the Northshore and luckily my Magazine street membership allows for a dual membership to the Covington location. I still think Franco’s is expensive, especially when bringing an adult guest, but otherwise it’s really nice. The class schedule is full; you can literally find a class at any time of the day, and I really like that. The staff/instructors are super friendly, the pool is well-kept, the locker room is pretty nice, though I do see some room for improvements as it’s a little dated. Overall, I think it’s a great gym.(and the little boutique inside isn’t bad either; such cute clothes!)

The gym equipment is to close together, pool and pool chairs are old. There are children running everywhere outside at the pool. The carpet upstairs has a funky smell. The aerobic room is located in the main hallway where everyone is walking by staring at you. There is basically to much equipment and workout rooms for the amount of space. Not worth 79.00 a month with a 150.00 start up fee. There are better places for the money.

Nice place except for the horrible music they blare on the workout floor. Mostly ghetto rap which doesn’t fit the demographics at all! I think the young thinks that run the workout desk put on whatever they want to hear and not the guest. Get it together Franco’s and don’t pander to what your staff wants but what the guest wants!

I really wish I had joined sooner. My family and I really love being active again and Franco’s is a great medium for that. Since joining we have gotten into shape, made friends and found exciting new hobbies that encourage activity, fitness and healthy living. The four pools are a great way to pass the hot summer days with the kids.

I have lived in NYC, LA and SF since leaving Mandeville after graduating high school and I have not found another gym that provides comparable quality for the price. I wish we had Francos in Los Angeles!

I just became of member of Franco’s Athletic Club and I love it. My only complaint is it could be a little closer to my house. But that isn’t a real complaint. I put my 3 year old through the swimming program and within 2 days he was swimming! Sue is a fabulous instructor along with Carla. My son also loves the child care there and usually doesn’t want to leave when it is time to go. Love the cycling classes too.
