It’s fast and it’s fun. That’s what people like about racquetball. What’s more, it’s an excellent way to stay in shape. Depending on your intensity level and weight, you can burn more than 700 calories in an hour playing racquetball. It’s also a great way to keep up with friends or make new ones.

Ochsner Fitness Center – Downtown is one of a few racquetball complexes in the area and Ochsner Fitness Center Harahan is the only club in Louisiana that serves as a stop on the United States Racquetball Association Professional Tour. We’re proud to be a member of the Louisiana Racquetball Association.

Lovers of the sport will find five racquetball courts here: Three glass-enclosed courts and two closed courts. Lessons and leagues are available for members of all ages and abilities. Adult leagues are held Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights and on Saturday mornings. Ochsner Fitness Center hosts several racquetball tournaments each year.
