Gyms in Baton Rouge that offer bumper plates/oly setups without coaching?

Does anyone have any good recommendations? It doesn’t have to be a “real gym”. I’ve heard that the rock climbing gym on Coursey has a solid section for olympic lifting but I’d rather not be the weird guy who signs up for a niche hobby gym then only goes there to blow it out on cleans in their small lifting area
I did a ton of googling and only found one gym that looked like it had a bunch of platforms in BR, but the people who own it were super weird, they weren’t clear on the actual layout of the gym, and they were trying to force me to sign up for their coaching

Max Fitness doesn't have bumper plates but they have 4 racks and 4 benches if I remember right.

Esporta (formerly LA Fitness) on siegen has two platforms with bumper plates. I heard they might be closing though.

The Anytime Fitness in my area has 5 or 6 setups for olympic lifts

Atlas Strength Shop. We have 3 platforms you can do oly lifts on, the bars you would need and a ton (almost literally) of bumper plates.

So what do you do if more than like 4 people are lifting?

The entire floor is horse stall mats, so you can really do cleans wherever you want with the bumper plates.
ETA: We don’t have a ton of dedicated oly lifters right now, so it hasn’t been a problem for them. Our strongman guys don’t give a shite. Rubber tires or a crash pad, and they’re fine.

Yeah but you only have enough plates for like 4 or 5 people to lift.

I’d say give it a rest. That nobody enjoys your schtick. But you know that.
