BR Active

💭 Before you lift a weight or run a mile, ask yourself “WHY”.
⁠
Your “WHY” is your fuel. Whether it’s to feel stronger, have more energy for your kids, boost your confidence, or improve your health—it’s what keeps you going when motivation fades.⁠
⁠
🎯 Start with purpose. Train with intention. Stay consistent.
⁠
💪 What’s your why? Drop it in the comments and let’s chase it together.

Flexibility is how far you can passively move a joint.
Mobility is how well you can control movement through your range.
In functional fitness, mobility wins. It keeps you stable, efficient, and injury-resistant.

Brent’s Review:

I came into BR Active with some hesitation and uncertainty. I was a couple weeks out from my 45th birthday. I had just been diagnosed with diabetes and high cholesterol and some other health problems. I was also the heaviest I’ve ever been. Dwayne has been nothing short of exceptional. He has walked me through the process of getting back in shape. The workouts are challenging but also freeing. He takes the guess work out of it. He builds workouts that are scalable for any fitness level. I hit the 5 am class and the crew is welcoming with no egos. BR Active is different in that there really isn’t a competition everyday. I only have to compete against myself. I highly recommend anyone looking for a place to get FIT, come give BR Active a chance.

1. What would you say to someone who’s thinking about joining BR Active? 

If you’re looking for a great workout that is a more personalized approach, BR Active will be a wonderful fit for you. As a former professional athlete, I love coming to these classes as they are challenging and you can get as much as you put into them. I’ve already seen great results working out there. It is a great blend of lifting weights, cardio, mobility work.  Coach Dwayne is extremely knowledgeable in terms of everything lifting, body movements, recovery, and more.


2. What’s changed in your life since you joined BR Active?

Not only has BR Active allowed me to meet new people, I feel great in everyday life since starting here. I feel stronger, more confident in the weight room, and happy as this is an environment for everyone. Progress has been seen in a short amount of time and again, this is a place where you can go at your pace, push yourself, and get in a great workout. Professional athlete/avid lifter or beginner, this gym is great for everyone.

This is a comment we’ve heard from multiple clients!

We are tucked away behind other things and “hidden” in the Industriplex area. You won’t see us driving by and as most things in Baton Rouge, it isn’t a walking area either.

People who say we’re a hidden gem appreciate the welcoming people, commitment to quality coaching, and workouts that meet their daily needs and are easily adjusted to do so.

Coaching and programming is a whole different topic but starting at a new gym can be very intimidating so always hearing how welcoming everyone is goes a long way to helping us know we’ve built something worth having.

If you’re looking to kick start your fitness or need a change, drop us a DM or head to our website for more info about getting started. We’ve made it super easy to come right into classes now!

Happy Mardi Gras!

Workouts should get easier without the daily office king cakes 😂

1. What would you say to someone who’s thinking about joining BR Active? 

For someone thinking about joining BR Active, I would say just give it a shot. I totally understand feeling intimidated at first, whether it’s joining a new gym or trying a new workout. I definitely felt that way at the beginning, but everyone I’ve met at BR Active has been so welcoming. You and the team have been incredibly helpful, from accommodating my needs for workouts to teaching me new techniques and making sure I’m using the right form. Plus, the support and motivation from everyone is unmatched! Every member started somewhere, and they’re always there to cheer each other on.

2. What’s changed in your life since you joined BR Active?

As for what’s changed in my life since joining BR Active, I can definitely feel myself getting stronger. I used to rely on the training bar for everything, and now I can use the regular bar. I also couldn’t do a box pushup at first, and now I’m powering through those in my workouts. Beyond strength, I’ve noticed I have more energy, better sleep, and just feel better overall. Starting my day with a workout in such a welcoming environment sets a positive tone for the rest of the day.

Thanks for the feedback, Cami! 🤩

Got a good pump with squats then dips to start the week. Go sign in for more classes now to stay on track!

Snow has melted (odd to say) so it’s back to work! It’s rough to get back moving but well worth it so grab a class and sweat it out. See y’all soon!

And it’s here! ❄️

Stay warm today and check your for a quick at-home workout if you get bored.

We’ll get the gym back open once the roads are safe. Check your email for updates on that.

Most will agree that the new year didn’t really start until now! Start building healthy habits now to last the year. Take it one at a time to start and build from there.
