Review

Get a Be Fit NOLA t-shirt for writing a review!!  We’re not asking you to run, bike or swim…we’re simply asking you to share your opinion(s) and enlighten us and we’ll give you a t-shirt for it.

The post I wrote the other day “Be Careful When Talking About The Health of My City” in defense to what someone else had to say about our city is a prime reason why you should take the time write a review – people outside of New Orleans just don’t see it.  They don’t get all that our city has to offer for health and fitness.

Writing a review of your gym, yoga or pliates studio, boot camp, favorite park, running or cycling trail, personal trainer, health store, or best healthy meal in a local restaurant is your opportunity to unveil New Orleans’ hidden treasures.  We sweeten the pot by adding a t-shirt…not just any t-shirt.

Aaron is a little picky about the fit of his shirts – so to please him and ensure you love our shirts we ordered men and women’s Gildan Soft Style t-shirts from Purple Monkey. We’ll run this giveaway until we’ve received 50 reviews and given away 50 shirts.

Read this post as a refresher of what we’re looking for in a review. We ask that you make your reviews at least 100 words long. (We will post constructive criticism type reviews but nothing flat out rude, mean or inaccurate)

Don’t be shy either…tell your friends about it.  Let’s really open up about New Orleans’ Health and Fitness!!

Did you know that one of the features we offer on www.befitnola.com is the ability to have your reviews posted on our website? We’re not quite like Yelp, Google, or other review sites but if you write a review and send it in to us (okay, we’re nothing like them because we are doing this (for right now) the old fashion way by email) – we will review your review and post it in our Your Reviews area of the site.

Write a review of your gym, yoga studio, pilates class, Boot Camp session, personal trainer…favorite healthy restaurant – if it’s health or fitness related and part of the Greater New Orleans area (to include the West Bank and Jefferson Parish) we will post it.  We will post both positive and “not-so” positive reviews but will not post anything that is mean and flat out derogatory.

Writing a review is great way to showcase your favorite spots to exercise and favorite instructors. Be sure to send us your full name, location and if you want us to add it – your website.  No anonymous reviews will be posted.

I’m quite impressed with GNOCommunity.org.  As soon as you land on the site – it grabs your interest and you quickly realize what a priceless resource the site is when looking for a quality healthcare center.

What is GNOCommunity.org?

GNOCommunity.org is a service dedicated to helping individuals find a quality healthcare center that fits their needs. There are over 90 community-based medical centers, 40 of which offer primary care services. These medical clinics are funded in part by the Primary Care Access and Stabilization Grant, a program designed to meet the increasing demand for quality healthcare services in Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parish. Other services include mental health and substance abuse services, dental care and more.

Most of the medical centers listed on this site accept private and public health insurance, or payments can be made on an income-based sliding fee scale. It is quality healthcare everyone can afford.

Interactive Map

The interactive map and listed detailed information for the health care provider are what the site is all about.  You can have a look at all 90 New Orleans community-based medical centers or further narrow down your search by the type of healthcare provider you are looking for: Adult Primary Care, Pediatric Primary Care, OB Services, Dental Services, Counseling Services and Substance Psychiatric Services Abuse Services.  Next, you can further narrow down your searches by how many miles away from your zip code you’re willing to travel.

Once you hit the search button; you get a list of your results both plotted on the map and with additional information to include address, hours of operation, services they provide, if they service the uninsured, Medicaid, Medicare, accept credit cards, website link (if applicable) and even what languages are spoken at the center.

GNOCommunity.org is brought to you by the Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI)

If you find yourself in need of a health care provider – you would be a fool to not make use of GNOCommunity.org
