GymAbout the Club
All of our classes at Upward Fitness are founded on functional movements at an intensity that is right for you! Our movements are rooted in the foundational everyday movements of squatting, picking objects up off the ground (deadlift), pushing, and pulling safely and properly.
Our goal is to help you get stronger and more flexible while building up your endurance for whatever life may throw at you. We encourage people of all fitness levels to come be a part of our community.

My husband and I have been playing pickleball here for a year and feel so blessed to be a part of this community. We are members and have been in many of the pickleball leagues offered here and have had such a good experience. We live about 30 minutes away from the gym, but it is absolutely worth the drive. Would highly recommend!

Upward is a wonderful gym for all ages and activity levels. My kids LOVE Upward Ninja classes. They look forward to their time at the gym each week. Upward Pickleball is inviting and welcoming to all participants. I’ve loved participating in the leagues and attending Open Gym times. I can’t recommend Upward enough!

I was reluctant to pick up pickleball due to not having had any previous sports experience. Upward Pickleball is extremely beginner friendly with a time carved out just for beginners to play with other beginners. The gym is very nice and welcoming starting with the facilities and ending with the amazing community of people. You couldn’t ask for a better place to spend your free time.

I have been a member at Upward Fitness for over two years now and have loved every minute of it! Being a part of this community has given me confidence and both physical and mental strength. I had foot surgery a couple of months after joining the gym, and Erik was happy to modify workouts so that I could come back and participate. I can't begin to convey how this impacted my recovery and mental health at that time. I am so grateful! And now I am involved in Upward Pickleball and the community is unparalleled! I am so grateful for the Leetch's and their hearts for God and our community!

Erik and the crew at Upward are great. I love the fitness program and community there. I started with the pickleball leagues and have been enjoying my time in the functional fitness training community. They're friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The classes have variety and flexible scheduling. I'm more fit than I was before I started and that's the goal.

I moved out to Siloam in December of 2023 and started playing in the leagues that were put on here. Little did I know I would become so close to so many people here. Erik and Sarai and some of the most down to earth people you will ever meet! Upward Pickleball is filled with all levels of competition whether you are brand new to pickleball or a seasoned player, you will find a group/players to challenge yourself. This is the best gym that I have had the opportunity to join!

I’m always so excited to share with others how much this place has to offer! We’ve had birthday parties here, playdates with friends at the ninja gym but our favorite learning to play pickleball in a positive encouraging atmosphere. Family friendly fun for all ages!

We have been members of Upward pickleball since last year and it has been a wonderful experience. My son (13) and I have been part of multiple leagues and have taken lessons from Erik. If you are looking for a community of awesome people, this is where you need to be!

Upward Pickleball is the hidden gem of Northwest Arkansas! Erik and Sarai have created a welcoming and energetic community for pickleball enthusiasts of all levels. Whether you're a seasoned player or just learning the ropes, you’ll feel right at home here. There’s always a great mix of players to connect with. Erik and Sarai are incredibly supportive and often on-site, making sure everyone has a positive experience. They’re not just great owners, they’re people who genuinely care about building community and growing pickleball in NWA. Highly recommend checking it out!

Joining Upward and getting into Pickleball is the best thing I’ve done for myself since I moved here two years ago after becoming unexpectedly widowed. I have found community, friendship and a fun way to get exercise. Erik and the whole family have treated me so kindly.. I’d recommend Upward enthusiastically to anyone!

The gym I've always looked for but never thought existed! Upward Fitness you are doing it right. I have never felt more comfortable and good about working out! They encourage family involvement and atmosphere. I love the HIIT (actually prefer it over any other type of workout) and daily devotional to remind you what is really important ❤ I'm in the process of changing my standards of the "mom bod" with their help. You guys rock! You were SO needed in our community. I'm so glad God called you!!

It has been four weeks working with Noel on my flexibility and the changes have been amazing. I came in with an Achilles injury and after working with Noel it is very improved. Also, I had issues with stiffness in my neck and now I have full mobility. The proof is in the results so I recommend both Noel, Erik and Upward Fitness / Physical Therapy.
