There has been a lot of excitement and chatter around our big move this month and it has been so awesome to feel the support from the community! We want everyone to be comfortable making the new transition with us and have had a lot of questions come up that we wanted to answer for everyone.

When do you guys open?

Our opening day at the new Vets location will be Monday, August 21. Our last day at West Esplanade will be Friday, August 18.

Where is it?

3848 Veterans Memorial Blvd Suite 203. We are about one block off Cleary towards New Orleans and the side street adjacent to our building is Taft. We are taking over the second-floor suite, previously known as Linda Lee Bridal and Yoga Lightspace. The two-story building is sandwiched between Panda Express and Taco Bell on the same side as Chick-Fil-A. There is a front and a back entrance to the building and yes, it has an elevator! The building is fairly small so once you make it to the second floor you can’t miss our suite.

What’s the parking situation?

There is parking in the front and back of the building. We ask that you park in the back, if possible, but if you do park in the front be sure to give the door an extra little tug!

What else is in the building?

The building is also home to various other healthcare professionals including an urgent care, eye doctor, chiropractor, acupuncturist, pharmacy, and mental health counseling. Out of all the times we have been in and out, the building has been quiet and doesn’t seem to get a lot of foot traffic. The building is also equipped with restrooms on both floors.

I like the small clinic feel – will this be different?

Although the space will be larger, we don’t have any intention of following the Ochsner model of mill-like physical therapy. The vibe will be very similar to what you have grown accustomed to – just with a little more elbow room!

Without revealing too much, we keep with the cool tones, wooden accents, and our sad attempt at plant life.

What new services will you be offering?

New services will include group reformer Pilates (or, as a patient recently called it – “Synchronized Slide-O-Matics”), group mat Pilates, Strength University, Stretch Class, and Bones & Balance Class. We will post our weekly class schedule to our Facebook and Instagram pages, and it can also be found on our online booking site https://www.tandempt.com/wellness-classes. We have a complete calendar of classes scheduled through the end of October so if there is a class you want to take on a specific day, we encourage you to reserve it ASAP!

How do I book a class?,/p>

We would love for you to try one of our group classes! Reserving your spot can be done either online, by phone, or in person. To book online, visit our booking site https://www.tandempt.com/wellness-classes and scroll through the calendar to find the class you are interested in. If online booking isn’t your thing, one of our helpful team members can get you squared away. Call us at (504) 407-3477 and we will be happy to assist!

Are you going to have a Grand Opening party?,/p>

You know us. We look for any reason to throw a party, so yes! We haven’t nailed down a date yet, but it will likely be in early October. Of course, we will let you know when we get the date finalized and we would love to see you there!

If you have any other questions about how the move will affect you, please call us at (504) 407-3477.
