Work Harder Gym lives up to its name. The atmosphere pushes you to go beyond your limits, and the consistency shows in real results. My progress from where I started to where I am now is proof of the discipline and accountability this place builds. If you’re serious about growth physically and mentally this is the gym to be in.

A+ Staff and Facility.

The only thing that ever bugged me is that you have to be comforable being in strangers' Tiktoks and instagram videos nonstop when you're here, and dodge their tripods while moving around. Everything else made it worth dealing with, though, and we would've stayed had we not moved to Cabot.

Gym itself was great! Equipment is modern, everything is clean, great amenities, 5 stars here.

The staff working the day I went was very standoff-ish, like getting me signed up for a day pass was a nuisance for them, 3 stars here.

Not a huge deal (hence the 4 star review), but it didn’t feel very welcoming that they treated me like a distraction from them chatting in the corner.

Great atmosphere. Could use a larger space. Missing some specific bodybuilding equipment but is a wonderful gym for general fitness and powerlifting.

If you want to put on some BEEF 🥩 THIS IS YOUR SPOT. Great selection of equipment. Can support pro level lifters no problem. Extremely Well organized and spotless clean. I travel for work and swung by for a quick lift. Can I clone you guys and add a location in Houston? Great management all across the board. Icing on the cake is that a day pass is only $5.

Initially, I really enjoyed this gym but… in December I decided to cancel my membership due to military obligation / relocating. Months later, I see that my card has continued to be charged . Despite calling and explaining that I’d like to cancel my membership back in December, my girlfriend’s account remained active. Although, I understand that they are technically seperate accounts I do not feel as if it is fair that I’m not entitled to a full refund even though the app shows zero check-ins. $220 gone to waste. Work harder needs a better system!

I was recommended this gym by Brandon at 5star. My whole family went to check it out last night. It was awesome. Equipment was available, it was clean, and it has the equipment I need for my goals. Everything was organized in the same way my own home gym is organized. I can tell the people who work there and own it love what they’re doing just by the way everything is set up and taken care of. A couple of the members working out near us were so nice and chatted with us like we’d been there every week. The vibes were high for a Friday evening. We will be back!

Love this place! Freaking amazing true powerlifting gym not messing with cables. 90% free weights. The culture in here is amazing. I wish I lived in Arkansas just so I could go to this gym but will definitely be back every time. I'm doing work in town. Thanks guys, this place is amazing

Great Gym! Owners and staff are very helpful and friendly. Gives the vibe of a classic body builder gym. They host comps and have a very active community. It’s great to see a gym like this that exists and isn’t completely commercialized like so many others.

Been going to workharder for almost 2 years now and no other gym compares. They have all the equipment you could need, specialized bars, and all the plates you could need (bumper, kg, and regular plates). What really sets it apart from the rest is the staff. Connor (one of the owners) knew my name within a week of me going there and now we regularly play games of mancala after my workout; what other gym could you say that about? The rest of the small group of staff are the same and manage to do all that while giving group classes, one on one coaching, and keeping the gym clean. I could go on and on about how great WorkHarder is but you can’t understand until you come check it out.

The attention to detail and level of professionalism in this gym is through the roof. The staff is knowledgeable, the building is spotless no matter what time of day you walk in, and the culture they have created is unlike any other gym I have been around in the United States. Can’t say enough good things about WH!

I love this place so much I low key don’t want nobody to know. It’s real chill laid back in the cut. You don’t deal with the Primadonna’s and all the models who want attention. Don’t deal with guys flexing in the mirror just people wanting to train and get strong. Lots of huge PR in the gym. Only come if you are serious about lifting.

We love this place. Fiancé and I are moving back to the area and aren't sure where we are going to be moving so haven't wanted to commit to a gym membership anywhere yet, so their day passes ($5) have been clutch. Their equipment is solid and the layout is done well. The staff has been nice and after the 3rd visit they started greeting us by name. Great locally owned place. As long as we don't move more than like 10 miles away, this will be our new gym home.

I have trained with Christian for 2 years now. I absolutely love him. He is knowledgeable and does not put up with laziness. Great motivation for me to push through tough workouts so I can reach my goals. A great role model for every aspect of life! He is killing it! Who wants a trainer that doesn’t hold you to the highest standard?

Dropped into this location while visiting family and was pleasantly surprised! The gym is smaller in comparison to some of the other gyms, but I love small private gyms because you are able to establish closer bonds and get assistance if needed. The gym was clean, organized, with a thoughtful layout. Please make sure to read the rules!!!
Perfect for people who love strength training, power lifting. There are not many cardio machines but again more geared towards strength training. The owners were very helpful and offered a tour of the gym and to assist with any machine that I did not know how to use. I didn't need the help but was appreciative of customer service! So glad that I found this hidden gem/"gym"!!!!

I dropped in as I am from out of town and was pleasantly surprised by how great this gym is. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the equipment is very well kept. Had everything you need for a powerlifting, Olympic lifting or body building routine.

Highly recommend!

By far the best gym in town for powerlifting. Small gym but with awesome vibes. 5 squat racks and 2 deadlift platforms. Nice staff and community with great etiquette. Cool lightings as well. Only downsides: closed on Sundays and relatively far from home

I started coming to this gym just over a year ago. There’s something truly different about a place that’s run and managed by the people who built it from nothing on their own time and money. Not only does this gym have top notch equipment and an awesome atmosphere, but everyone who comes through the door, regardless of fitness goals or background, is treated with respect and immediately welcome. This gym and the community they have created are second to none.

I’ve been with this gym since the beginning when it was a dream in Christian’s garage. There’s not a better gym in the state. Period. The cleanliness is unmatched, the atmosphere is second to none, and it’s a place where all lifters can feel welcome. Powerlifters, bodybuilders, and your average gym goer all call this place home. You won’t find just one particular sort of person here. It’s a place where everyone can go and feel welcome.

Christian does a great job getting to know the members, and that’s what keeps people coming back. The vision that he and Connor have is insane, and there’s nothing that’s going to stop them from making their dreams a complete reality

Majority members there don’t like the owner, but besides him being a cry baby and criticizing the members and completely messing up his first and probably only USPA competition at his own gym last minute the gym is good 💯

I joined this gym a couple of years ago and it has been the best workout experience I have ever had. Not only are the owners extremely knowledgeable and helpful but the members are as well. Everyone at this gym has been nothing but nice regardless of how much or little gym experience you may have. This gym truly has a unique vibe to it where everyone is there for the same simple reason, to better themselves and build others up along the way. The owners have also taken time out of their day to help me personally with questions about lifting forms and workouts.

10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for a place to work harder and reach their goals. All of the gym equipment is top quality and clean, the music selection is awesome, and the members and owners are hype, friendly, and humble.

I’ve been with this gym since it opened when I was 19 and I will continue to come back. In this gym, you are pushed to be better physically, mentally, socially, etc. It’s a no BS environment made for people who truly want to better themselves and those around them. Anybody who talks bad about this gym just doesn’t fit the mind set and is better off slamming weights and being dirty somewhere else. You come here to work harder and learn. It’s about self improvement and an open mind. This place is not meant for those with closed minds and those that refuse to develop in all aspects of their life.

You would be extremely hard pressed to find a place that cares more about your goals than this gym.

Was a cool gym until the owner Christian started to target his members and make fun of them. Had a powerlifting competition at the gym until his comments came out and so they had the change the whole location because of it, just shows how much he cares about people there. He only cares about $$$

Did a day pass, solid gym, solid staff. Not lacking at all with plates, bars, or equipment. It is more centered around weights so not much cardio if that’s what you’re looking for. Staff is great and was more than willing to answer questions. Well worth it over the other commercial gyms in Little Rock.

Good non-commercial gym. Very clean and well maintained, plenty of specialty lifting equipment for those looking for that power lifting experience. Staff were friendly and answered questions. They also have a great set of rules that make it more comfortable for women to workout without fear of getting harassed.

They do have a good playlist, but it is played at a super high level so even if you wore headphones it'd be hard to hear your own music. The cardio equipment is limited, so not a good option if you like cardio options.

I was hesitant to join initially because I am a novice, but joining this gym has been one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a gym in central Arkansas.
