This place is the real deal! Authentic. Welcoming. Honest. Michael the owner makes you feel at home. Even the intern, Angela, from UF was awesome. If you are looking for a new fitness community, or just looking to get your pump on, this is the place for you!

Awesome place! They have a huge area just for weightlifting. They have a bunch of kg bumpers, 15kg and 20kg bars with good whip and spin. Michael is very nice and allowed me to drop in with a moment's notice. Definitely check out this place!!

This gym is truly special, unique, and forever dear to my heart. Michael has truly embodied community, diversity, discipline, and safety with this gym. I have seen people from all ages, backgrounds, and athleticism at this gym and feel loved, wanted, and supported. I have recommended The Ark to many not just because Michael is an exceptional coach but because the work he does for Gainesville and its residents as well as to be up to date on holistic health education is a rare find. I truly recommend to try it - even though you may be sweating and hate burpees as much as I do, you'll leave with a sense of accomplishment and camaraderie.

My daughter works out at the Ark and I am occasionally in town visiting her or for business and the Ark has always been really great about letting me drop in and get an awesome work out in. Coach Mike and Sadie are really great about working closely with me to ensure I have proper technique and always accommodate the workout to my specific abilities. The Ark is such a welcoming environment no matter what level athlete you are. I have had such an amazing experience every time I have dropped in! I encourage anyone who is interested to try it out!

How every S&C facility should be run. Great equipment, simple and great coaching. If you want to actually make a change and get strong and lose fat, check it out. Incredible weightlifting (Olympic lifting) area!

Awesome gym. Professional and enthusiastic coaches. I feel strong in new ways.

More than a gym this is a school where you learn the correct foundations, essentials and details of Olympic lifting. You get 1-on-1 coaching throughout your movements to help you correct and improve every class. To add on to the great workouts, Michael's passion and professionalism will make the Ark feel like a second home, the atmosphere here is as friendly as it is motivating. And even if you miss a day you can do the calisthenics workouts (on the website) at home or in public parks around town. Community Fitness. Community enrichment. Let's get strong.
