Trainers and staff here are exceptional--knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping members achieve their fitness goals. They offer personalized training for all levels and their encouragement keeps you motivated.

Their top of the line equipment is easy to use and cleaned daily. Everything is well-maintained and modern.

Highly recommend for anyone serious about fitness!

One of the best gyms I ever been to. I trained multiple commercial gyms and I got tired of crowded people plus people using their tripod to film. I can get my intense training session done at Ark Fit with their amazing machines and equipment. Staff here is amazing and I felt like I was there training with brothers and sisters of Christ! They have a day trial and its worth checking them out. Now the price may be high but you have the weigh the pros and cons. Do you want to train at a cheap commerical gym where you have to deal with crowds and wait 15-20min for the weights? With this gym you won't have to wait and you get to lift weights for serious results! Think of it as investing it to yourself for the better.

“Go to the Gym!” Has never been easier for me. I LOVE this Gym. Very good quality Atlantic equipment, clean, spacious, not crowded at all. The lighting is not bright like other gyms and puts you in a grind productive mood. The parking is easy, never an issue. I love coming here almost every day. Never had this desire in other gyms. It’s truly part of my life now and changed me for the better.

Ark Fit is like family to me. I've been attending this gym now for a while and what makes this gym so special is the people. This team of trainers cares for everyone's journey. I've personally have struggled the past year with growing older and I've had numerous chats with Matt about ways to take care of myself. I get that same care from the rest of the team. I'm not just a member but I'm more like family. I honestly see myself being with this gym for at least 10 years plus. I hope you can come join us soon.

Moved to OC a little over a year now and went through my fair share of gym trials before I found Ark Fit and I'm super happy I found them. Really great gym with unique equipment. Gym is always kept clean not only from the staff, but from everyone who trains there. There is definitely a unanimous respect for the gym from everyone who goes here. All of the staff make it their mission to get to know you and always greet you. Never have been to a gym where I know everyone's name. Matt and Jasmine have done a fantastic job with this facility and I wish them nothing but continued success.

Wow! What can I say about this amazing gym!

I was hesitant to join due to the amount but it’s definitely worth it. All the trainers and staff are motivating and friendly.

Donald, Elizabeth, Erik, Jeiel, Kevin, Michele, Stephanie and Tobias.

-Donald’s approach to his training is where everyone can do it.
-Elizabeth I only met a few times but she helped me with the recovery room.
-Erick is at the front desk usually greets me or saying bye as I leave.
-Jeiel’s approach is quiet but gets the job done.
-Kevin’s approach is friendly and inviting.
-Michele’s approach is sweet and fun.
-Stephanie’s approach is genuine and fun.
-Tobias’s approach is gentle and motivating.

All the trainers and coaches motivates you; whether you like it or not! Haha sometimes I don’t mind and other times I don’t really want it but glad they did! Lol

I have been going to the classes and gym for about almost a month now. I took the free two classes and one open gym. You do get a free recovery once you sign up.

There are monthly memberships but also packages if you don’t come regularly. The recovery room is extra but I think it’s worth it. You can just use the open gym and/or add classes (13) a month or unlimited.

The gym is never crowded, never dirty and my favorite people actually clean their station and put the weights back. The gym also dimmed if you like it that way.

I’m waiting for when there is more options in weights as 8,12/12.5,17.5/18 lbs etc.

I feel this gym helped me to continue to go regularly and to take care of my physical and mental health.

There are lockers with four digit codes you can create. Plenty of parking as well. The recovery room is optional but it’s private so you can use it for the 30-45 min window.

For classes and (recovery room if you purchase) have to be booked on the app once you sign up.

For those who are Christian it’s a great gym if you can want to do praise and worship once a month. If you aren’t a Christian you aren’t forced but everyone is welcome.

I was able to meet the owner and his wife and family. Very lovely people.

I wasn’t sure to write a review because I don’t want the gym to be packed! Lol 😂
But I am glad I did so others can be motivated as well.

I’m looking forward to see how progress is made in the months to come. Thank you so much to all the staff at Ark Fit. Also to the owner and his family.

God bless!

I can't even begin to describe how much I love Ark Fit. I've been a member for over 6 months. The group classes have made an incredible positive impact on my health, fitness level, and mental/emotional well-being. I love all the rotations in the group classes. It keeps things challenging yet fun. My favorite thing about this gym is the staff. I guarantee you won't find another gym where the staff members care so deeply for their clients. I have felt seen, known, and loved here. I'm so very thankful I found Ark Fit.

I was a member of the gym for a month while I was visiting town before moving. Would highly recommend this gym if you are serious about transforming your body and getting as strong as possible.

As soon as you walk in you feel like you are entering a luxury car. The equipment available at this gym is some of the best in the nation and it makes reaching your goals easier because of how effective they are.

Unlike a lot of other gyms with this caliber of bodybuilding machines, the other gym members are very respectful about using machines/equipment and they were all friendly. The same can also be said for the staff as they always made an effort to get to know me in the short time I was there. Excellent environment.

I’ve been attending Ark Fit since March 2024, but had to take a break in November 2024 due to a change in my work schedule. However, I missed it so much that I made time to fit it back into my routine. I absolutely love the friendly atmosphere, and the workouts are always enjoyable. Coach Stephanie is amazing—she always knows exactly what to say when I’m about to give up on a set, motivating me to finish my reps. Not only is the gym impeccably clean, but it’s also beautifully designed. I highly recommend this gym to everyone!

I started coming to the gym last summer. The coaches and trainers here have been so supportive of my health goals and continuously push me to be stronger and better in the gym. The classes are great and by going consistently I have seen amazing changes physically and mentally. The other gym goers are equally as supportive and we encourage each other to work harder.

I have been a member at Ark Fit since October 2024, and I can confidently say it’s the best gym I’ve ever been a part of! From day one, I felt welcomed by the friendly staff and supportive community. The team genuinely cares about each member’s well-being, taking the time to understand individual fitness goals and always being available for guidance and motivation.

The facility itself is top-notch—clean, well-maintained, and equipped with brand-new workout equipment. I love the flexibility of my 3-classes-per-week + open gym membership, which is perfect for beginners or anyone looking to stay consistent. The 45-minute group classes are a game-changer—challenging, engaging, and incredibly fun! The coaches bring amazing energy and are there every step of the way to push, encourage, and ensure you’re getting the most out of each session.

If you’re looking for a gym that offers great workouts, a positive atmosphere, and a team that truly cares, Ark Fit is the place to be! Highly recommend!

I’ve been attending this gym since September 2024, and it’s been an amazing experience. The group classes are fantastic, with a great pace and variety that keep things interesting. The coaches are incredibly motivating and provide excellent feedback on form, and the atmosphere is so positive and supportive, not only from the coaches but also from the other members. The music during the sessions adds to the energy and keeps me motivated. The gym is always clean, and the equipment is first-class. Highly recommend this gym!

I have so much love for Ark!

First and foremost, the gym is stunning and the darker interior creates a safe, calm, and intimate vibe. I love all of the machines and equipment they offer and the bathrooms are perfectly lit and always clean.

The group classes are very fun and challenging. The format is easy to follow and they have coaches walking around the room to ensure our form is good. Each workout can be modified so don't be intimidated if you're a beginner! The workouts are innovative and effective. Make sure to always sign up when they have a challenge workout! It will humble you.

THE STAFF IS AMAZING. Love every single one of them and they are always so helpful when I need assistance. They're also fun to talk to and they love it when we loiter at the front desk ;)

The biggest takeaway is that Ark helped me overcome gym anxiety and limiting beliefs. With regular gym memberships, I would go in and work out with my AirPods and leave. At Ark, I get to meet awesome people so it feels more like a community. The group classes are transformative and educative because the coaches help me with my form and they challenge me to add more weight or reps because they know I have the capacity to do so.

I'm excited for the future of Ark!

My experience at this facility was a warm welcome and professional. The community at ArkFit is uplifting and genuine. The equipment is well sought after in the fitness industry but easy to use. The staff is always there for the members support. ArkFit has a high level of cleanliness. The floor space is open. The options are versatile by it having group classes and an open gym plus a legitimate recovery room. Prime location right off the 55 fwy. Affordable pricing for the value that comes with being a member at ArkFit.

They are some of the most kind and genuine people I know, and have the expertise to help you reach any fitness goal you might have.

Can't say enough about how much I love Ark Fit! This is the first gym I've ever been consistent with.

From the moment you walk in, you notice their new location has a chic, modern interior design - black interior, arches mirrors, wooden slats, a marble concierge. It’s very welcoming and the interior and equipment are all brand new and very clean. The other gym members are also respectful about using machines/equipment. The open gym has a large free weights section, and multiple cages/squat racks and open areas for functional training. It's also never feels overcrowded.

What really sets this place apart from other gyms to me though are the awesome trainers. They not only give great instruction in a friendly way, but they also remember little things about you and your fitness which make the group classes feel personalized and guided.

I love how the classes are set up. All you have to do is show up, and all the equipment, exercises, etc are already taken care of. The trainers can also help with choosing what weight you should start at, racking the bars, and fixing your form.

The Ark Fit is a wonderful gym! I have attended their group classes since they were in the previous location. The coaches are super kind and helpful - always helping improve your form and motivating you! The open gym has nice equipment! I'm really new to the machinery but again the coaches and the staff have taken the time to explain how to use them! Also, the recovery room is the best after a leg day work out! If you're like me shy to work out in front of people or with people, this is the gym you want to go to! Since day one you'll feel welcome by the community 🫶🏻

Trainers are nice and helpful, but overall they made it too difficult for beginners and pushed you too hard. I tried to cancel knowing I wouldn't be able to come back due to a change in work schedule and I was still charged another 30 days. There was no working around their "policy". I was even told on the phone no matter the circumstance if move away it would still be the case to charge you another 30 days. Would not recommend.

In the short time I’ve been a member at The Ark Fit, it didn’t take long for me to feel at home. The early group classes they offer are so convenient for a busy mom like me. During classes, they will take the time to individually correct your form and are not hesitant to push you past your limits in a healthy way. The one thing that stood out to me the most was how nice everyone on staff is; staff and members. All of the trainers are inviting, personable, kind, and professional. This type community is what I’ve been searching for in a gym!

Up until a month ago I was your average couch potato. I'm 48 years old and haven't done any serious exercise in over 25 years. I honestly wasn't too excited about picking up a gym membership. But my 17 yo daughter convinced me to take this class with her and boy am I grateful for doing it.
I've always both admired and at the same time lacked people's discipline when it comes to working out.
At any rate, we took the 2 classes free trial that they offered. I was completely dead at the end of each day. But the one thing about The Ark's coaching staff is that they are absolutely dedicated to help you meet your goals.
The class isn't too big as far as the number of people go. So the coaches are always there for you, guiding you, advising you. BUT MOST OF ALL ENCOURAGING YOU ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

It's been over 6 weeks now, I've developed a routine and better eating habits. I'm a lot healthier and feel physically better than I did on my first day of training.
And none of that would be possible withouth the amazing work of Matthew, Marlena, Stephanie, Michelle, and Donald.

By the way, we did search a few other "boot camp" and work out gyms in the area. It really doesn't get any better for your money.
Plus, we got a great family discount after as well because my wife signed up too.

I decided to make a change towards my life during the hardest times last year the holidays. Matt the owner of the gym and his wife Jasmine were out at breakfast where out of coincidence eating breakfast at the same place I was with my kids. Ironically discussing how I needed to go to the gym when they overheard and told me about their gym and their transformation program. I decided to check them out and sure enough was introduced to my personal trainer Donald. Along the way in classes met really great trainers that work here Michelle, Stephanie, Marbella, and Faith. I started out at 165 pounds in November 2022 and now weigh in at 158 pounds. I have lost 5% in body fat and gained about 6% muscle in 3 months. What's included you say unlimited group classes, one personal training session a week, and nutrition plan. If you are looking for change for yourself this place is it!

(Update) I would just like to start by saying this is the best gym I could have ever asked for! The Ark Fit is not only a gym but also an awesome community of people!
The Ark Fit offers so many options of fitness to fit your needs. Their Transformation Program is amazing and designed to help you reach any goals you have for yourself. Not only do you get to work out 6 days a week but you get a meal plan, personal training once a week, and you’re able to ask your personal trainer any questions during the 16 weeks or however long you do the Transformation Program for. The trainers are amazing! I was going out to dinner one night and texted my trainer about the food I was going to eat that night. They texted me back with options and I loved that support.
The personal training was amazing as well. I was dealing with a lot of back pain prior to the 16 week challenge. My trainer was able to show me the right way to maintain the correct body position when lifting and working out, so I wouldn’t injure myself. This was so important to me because I love working out.
Hope to see you at The Ark Fit! Don’t miss out on this Transformation Program.

(Original) I can’t say enough about The Arkfit. This community that Matt and Jasmine have given us goes way Beyond working-out. Always positive vibes from the moment you walk in . The trainers Matt, Stephanie, Chris and Donald all challenge us and motivate you every single time you workout no matter what fitness level you are, they are all so knowledgeable. My strength, endurance and energy level is something I thought could never happen. The results I’ve gotten since working out at The Arkfit is amazing. Come join us here at The Arkfit and see for yourself. ARK STRONG 💪

English:

In 2022, I looked in the mirror and was unhappy with what I saw. Coming from a shoulder injury from college tennis in 2010 and a back injury from a motorcycle accident in 2017, my body was not what it once was. I couldn’t get out of bed and used my arms to grasp the mattress to turn myself over. Modern medicine couldn’t solve my issues unless I had surgery. I was recommended to exercise to compensate for my injuries. I started looking at local gyms like 24-hour fitness and LA fitness and realized that I didn’t know what I’ll be doing there and would be intimidated by the bodybuilders. However, the occasional posts of my friend inspired me to reach out and ask how the gym was where he attended. Nothing but great things were said. I saw Arkfit’s social media pages and realized I have a few friends that attend there, and they all mentioned the same thing. I soon contacted our trainer Donald as I knew him in the world of tennis, and he volunteered to work out with me so I wouldn’t feel alone on the first day or come when he was teaching. I went the next day, and the environment was like nothing else I had felt. It is very welcoming, encouraging, and inspirational. It is a place to bond with everyone in a similar situation as yours, create friendships, and work together on our common goals. Right after the first class session, I joined their Transformation Program for six months. Within those six months, I lost over 50 lbs of body fat. The trainers and the rest of the team have always pushed me to my limits and beyond and taught me so much about food to reach my goal. I have now been a member for just over a year, and I never realized that I would be where I am right now and want to go to the gym 😂. I can’t wait to see what’s next to come. I am forever grateful!

En 2022, me miré en el espejo y no estaba contento con lo que vi. Debido a una lesión en el hombro del tenis universitario en 2010 y una lesión en la espalda por un accidente de motocicleta en 2017, mi cuerpo ya no era como antes. No podía levantarme de la cama y usé mis brazos para agarrar el colchón y darme la vuelta. La medicina moderna no podía resolver mis problemas a menos que me sometiera a una cirugía. Me recomendaron hacer ejercicio para compensar mis lesiones. Empecé a buscar gimnasios locales como 24-hour fitness y LA fitness y me di cuenta de que no sabía lo que haría allí y que los culturistas me intimidarían. Sin embargo, las publicaciones ocasionales de mi amigo me inspiraron a acercarme y preguntar cómo estaba el gimnasio donde asistía. No dijeron más que buena cosas. Vi las páginas de redes sociales de Arkfit y me di cuenta de que tengo algunos amigos que asisten allí, y todos mencionaron lo mismo. Pronto me puse en contacto con nuestro entrenador Donald, ya que lo conocía en el mundo del tenis, y se ofreció como voluntario para hacer ejercicio conmigo para que no me sintiera solo el primer día o viniera cuando estaba enseñando. Fui al día siguiente, y el ambiente no se parecía a nada que hubiera sentido. Es muy acogedor, alentador e inspirador. Es un lugar para vincularse con todos en una situación similar a la de uno, crear amistades y trabajar juntos en nuestros objetivos comunes. Inmediatamente después de la primera sesión de clase, me uní a su Programa de Transformación por seis meses. En esos seis meses, perdí más de 50 libras de grasa corporal. Los entrenadores y el resto del equipo siempre me han empujado a mis límites y me han enseñado mucho sobre la comida para alcanzar mi objetivo. Ahora he sido miembro por un poco más de un año, y nunca pense de que estaría donde estoy ahora y querría ir al gimnasio 😂. No puedo esperar a ver lo que sigue. ¡Estoy eternamente agradecido!

No better way to start my day!! The Ark Fit is definitely a 10 out of 10!!!!

Ark Fit is such a great community & the classes really push you! I have gotten so much stronger thanks to the help of the trainers Stephanie & Donald, but especially Matt! He has pushed me to do more than I ever thought I could & I’m better because of his help along with the other trainers. All the coaches though are motivating, helpful, encouraging & really try to motivate you to do your best. Michelle is one of my favorite front desk girls & she absolutely keeps me on point during classes. She is so motivating, sweet & encouraging. I’ve improved tremendously from when I started there in May of 2021 to now. I’ve met some great people & made some amazing friends! It’s honestly been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. I know that I’ve changed for the better, but I have also changed for good because of The Ark Fit.

Oh my, what can I say about The ArkFit, SOO many wonderful things because The ArkFit is not just any ordinary place to work out or call gym. Here, you have a safe place to be yourself and feel supported in any stage of your health journey. All of the staff and members are so welcoming and inspiring. The trainers are top notch always making sure you receive all the help needed and REALLY care about you not just when you're there but also when you're not. They take the time to answer all your questions and concerns until you truly understand and feel comfortable. I really LOVE coming here and have made a lot of great friendships and learned so much! Thank you all for everything you do!
I really hope you come on by and see for yourself how AMAZING The ArkFit really is.

I love the care and attention they show the members. I never feel judged for not knowing or doing my work out the incorrect way.

he Ark Fit is always an AMAZING workout with strength and cardio! They have alternating days for legs, arms, core/ agility, and full body. Working out here helped me gain muscle and lose fat quickly. The trainers are soooooooo amazing- Matt, Donald, and Stephanie are so encouraging, make killer workouts, know their anatomy really well, and are just kind people. I always feel at home at The Ark Fit and love the early morning classes for the community!!!

Great team staff, great work outs. Trainers will push you if they see you doing it easy, which is good. I love the 45min workouts vs going to an actual gym and taking longer than that because of either gym being too packed or machines are busted or taken. Don’t get me wrong i still go to a gym, but more as supplement after my Arkfit training. Love my results so far!! 🙂

I love this gym it was the best decision I have ever made. I joined in August and since then I participated in the October challenge where I lost nearly 10 lbs all thanks to the love and support The Ark Fit has to offer. The trainers are all wonderful people who challenge you and push you to your full potential. Every workout is different and different parts of the body are targeted Monday-Saturday which I love you will never expect the same work out circuit ever. Every second of every class you will feel the burn challenging you and making you stronger. The Ark Fit has truly changed my life for the better I am mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally happier. I look forward to celebrating the little victories and continue to love my body. Thanks Ark Fit :)

This will be my 4th week going to The Ark Fit. I use to go to the gym by my house before my car accident and I didn't feel good after my "workout ", I always felt unsatisfied. I didn't have anyone to talk to about what I was trying to accomplish, so I went to just go but definitely wasn't happy. After the car accident I was a bit depressed because I gained weight and I had no motivation, about a month ago I saw a post from The Ark Fit on Instagram and I scrolled their posts, everyone had same comments, they felt great, they were happy, they felt supported. So I decided to check it out and from the very first day I was greeted with a smile, I spoke to Stephanie about my concerns, pain still from my accident and she was understanding and checked on me during class, each time I go the trainers check on me, ask how I'm doing and it truly means everything to me, they listen, they answer questions, everyone I've talked to that goes there says the same thing, they love going there. It's not easy but I feel great every time I leave, no regrets. Can't wait to see how I feel 6 months from now. Thank you to The Ark Fit and their amazing team!

My girlfriend signed me up for the June Challenge. I was a little hesitant in starting, since I've never really worked out a day in my life. After the first day, I was even more hesitant to come in a second day. But after a few classes it started to get addicting. The instructors have been really helpful. I will continue my membership for my weight loss journey.

Lets be honest, we all know that exercising is not easy and finding motivation is hard but let me tell you this is the place to be. A little over a year and a half ago I started coming to The Ark to improve my physical and mental health and I have not left since, the trainers are awesome and the people are all friendly. It feels like a group of friends exercising together and all this thanks to the trainers that push you to say high to people. Let’s say I did not only improved my health but I have also made new friends.

A super cool place to exercise, with super prepared and friendly instructors (Stephanie, Matthew and Donald) who help you achieve your goals. I am really delighted with all the motivation I receive from the people who are in charge of the place, they are kind, charismatic and friendly. 100% recommended for people who don't know what kind of exercises to do to achieve their goals.////

Llevo 3 años conociendo ARKFIT, todo impeso como un regalo de cumpleaños y desde entonces me propuse mejorar mi salud física. Definitivamente puedo decir que es una de las mejores decisiones que he tenido, porque este lugar es como ir hacer ejercicio con amigos que te apoyan y quieren mirarte prosperar. Personalmente, he tenido clases con varios entrenadores incluyendo los dueños. Matthew, ha hecho de su gimnasio una comunidad donde nos ayudamos y apoyamos unos a otros. Stephanie, una de las entrenadoras tiene un dicho aquí que dice “no te compares con tu compañero tu progreso es tuyo solamente así es que no te des por vencido”. Donald, es un entrenador que es muy respetuoso y fácil de tener una conversación con el, cuando mira que ya no puedes el trata de animar y te hecha porras para que no te des por vencido. Todos los entrenadores que eh conocido son muy respetuoso y profesionales. También están al pendiente de todos cuando usamos equipo o haciendo ejercicios para que nadien se vaya a lastimar.

Personalmente este gimnasio no es un gimnasio solamente es un lugar que me hace feliz que me hace sentir apreciada donde conoces a gente que son amigables donde puedes tener una platica con el entrenador como si es tu amigo siempre le digo a Matthew que al hecho algo muy especial y es formar una comunidad donde no importa que clase tienes siempre tienes a un amigo a lado de ti que te apoya y que también anda sufriendo contigo porque aquí se suda porque se suda.

The Ark Fit has been my fitness family for well over a year now, and joining has been the best thing I could have done for my health, both physical and mental. They have created a fun, challenging environment that manages to be enjoyable and nonjudgmental. Everyone is friendly and as excited as you to start seeing physical progress toward your goals, whether that's muscle gain or weight loss. (Both of which have happened more naturally than at any other time of my life). Cannot recommend highly enough if you are finding yourself with COVID weight gain and want to find a group to help motivate you to find a healthier balance.

I have been a member since 2019 and I still am in awe of this place. I found them on Groupon and never looked elsewhere. There are so many reasons to love the ArkFit, from the highly trained instructors, the focus on doing your workout safely and the awesome music but I think it is also because Matt changes the timing and format of the workout every week so you are never bored and it challenges your body in a much more specific way. I have worked out my entire life and have never been in this type of shape. I feel great and I love to use this as my stress-buster. If you are reading this, give Ark Fit a try!!

This place has truly changed my life. I love the trainers, the people, the music, and the overall way it has impacted my each and every day. Throughout the week, each day focuses on a different muscle group to obtain ultimate full body fitness. The trainers, Matt, Stephanie, and Donald are motivating, friendly, and sometimes quite comedic, making working out more fun than anywhere else I have ever taken classes. If you need help or modifications, you can always count on John and Faith to be there to assist you every time. My ArkFit friends have become family and I look forward to seeing them every day. Working out daily has improved my overall daily attitude and the way I feel about myself and my life. I love ArkFit and highly recommend anyone who needs extra amazingness added to their life comes in to check it out. But beware, you might be leaving sweaty and sore, but it will hurt so damn good!

I tried it for a month since my gym closed due to COVID-19 so I tried this place out but unfortunately it wasn't for me. The hype was ok but most of the workouts were super easy; I was looking for something more challenging, competitive, and intense so I went back to my CrossFit gym once it reopened. But I had a good time.

They truly take their time to know each and everyone of their members as individuals! They also take the time to know each members' strengths and limits to truly push them closer to their goals with each class!
Also, they are doing a great job with safety precautions in regards to COVID. They take each member's temperature and have them sanitize before they are allowed in the gym. The staff also thoroughly cleans the gym and equipments before and after each class!
I would truly recommend Arkfit to anyone who is looking for a great workout with a fun and accepting team and community!

The Ark Fit is more than just a gym. It's a place to create goal and then crush it! It's a place to get advise on your health aspirations. It's a place to make new friends, and then cry with them once the workout is finished. The trainers here have your best interest at heart. They want to see you strive past your goals, and they are there along the way in and outside of the gym. The facility has nice, well maintained equipment that is taken care of and cleaned after ever workout, so feel free to leave it all out on the gym floor. I cannot praise these trainers and staff more for all they do day in and day out to keep the gym striving. They will make you feel right at home starting on day one. And did I mention your first 2 classes are free?! So stop by and say hi because once you have joined The Ark Fit, it's hard to go to anything else :)

I joined The Ark Fit in September, and it has been the best decision for my health and safety. As everyone knows, with Covid finding a safe and clean place to workout has been extremely difficult. Still, The Ark Fit provides its members with a sanitized facility after every workout class. As for my health goals, every trainer has been excellent. In the beginning, I was nervous to workout because I was a beginner at strength training, but each trainer took their time to help me become familiar with the correct posture and workout formats. If you are looking for a safe and fun place to help you achieve your goals, this is it!

I have never been able to fully commit going to the gym for longer than three months at a time. The Ark Fit has provided me a place where I feel safe from judgment and safe to push my limits. I also feel like I have a support system to help with nutrition and give me advice on other health aspects in my life I might have questions about. I always feel encouraged to push myself and keep learning. I’ve also learned how to listen and be more comfortable with my body.

I've been going here for 6 weeks and I have already seen great definition after 4 kids. Matt and Jasmine are really invested in helping you reach your goals. Matt has done a great job with helping me with my leg pain during work outs. By working out here, you get a personal trainer every-time for the same price of a monthly gym membership. The workouts are fun and always different. I love how you're in and out in less than an hour, but feel like you had the best workout. For moms and dads it's great that they allow children to sit quietly in the reception area, while you get a great work out. You don't just get your moneys worth here, but also a workout that gives you amazing results.

I can't say enough awesome things about the Ark Fit. I've done other bootcamps around OC and due to the large classes and maybe lack of trainer experience/knowledge, I always felt I there was a lack of emphasis on form and technique. That's not the case here! Matt is so great at making sure he goes over all of the workouts and shows proper technique and form prior to starting the workouts. He also walks around correcting members and encouraging us to keep pushing. It's perfect for all fitness level

The gym is super clean, I love the energy and the constant change in the class exercises and focus to always keep your body guessing. I did their 1 week trial and was so impressed I signed up and became a member. It's hard to find a quality boot camp with so many around OC but I'm so happy I found the Ark Fit! I recommend anyone looking around to give the classes a try. You won't regret it.

This will be my 2nd week of working out at the Ark Fit. For the past 15 yrs, I have tried so many different types of gyms but this place has made an impression on me!
The owners & the trainers emphasized on how to safely & effectively perform each workout. I really liked how they display the workout videos on the tv's which shows how to properly do each workout. The trainer is very hands on and helps you with your form. The atmosphere is welcoming! The gym is clean with brand new equipments & the membership fees are very reasonable. The workouts are fun yet challenging! What more can I ask for?!? Come & check it out! You won't be disappointed!
