Fitness & Gyms in Fayetteville, AR

“I am a track coach at a D1 college, I travel all around the country and go to CrossFit gyms all over. Mensch is my absolute favorite gym that I’ve encountered. First of all, they are amazing people, super accommodating and always so kind. The weightlifting area is perfectly equipped for anyone of any level, the CrossFit classes are well organized and they always have super supportive coaching, and the sauna room is one of a kind! Truly an *amazing* place to get a workout, if you are so lucky.”

“Great gym. High level coaches, great people, amazing amenities, the cleanest gym I’ve ever been to, and all while being the cheapest gym I’ve been to. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing fitness class experience! Personal training in a group setting. The smoothie bar is awesome! Burn is just such an amazing experience and you won’t regret trying it, you may even find your new favorite fitness community!”

“I just recently joined and I love being a member of OTF. The staff are always so motivating and positive. Thank you for helping me become stronger and healthier!”

“I’ve been listening to Zack Johanssen’s Muscles and Veggies podcast for a while now, and it’s hands down one of the best health and fitness resources out there. Zack combines his deep knowledge of exercise, diet, and overall wellness with real-life, actionable advice that I can easily apply to my own life. I really appreciate how he balances topics from resistance training and muscle recovery to diet tips, supplements, and even breath work—all in a way that makes them approachable and enjoyable to learn about. Implementing just a few of Zack’s suggestions on diet and timing for eating and fasting has made a tremendous difference for me. I’ve seen a noticeable reduction in inflammation, along with incredible improvements in both pain management and sleep quality.

Zack’s personal experience as a trainer and health coach shines through in every episode. His passion is contagious, and it’s clear that he truly cares about helping people live healthier, stronger lives. Whether you’re new to fitness or have been training for years, there’s something in every episode to inspire and guide you. I highly recommend his content or coaching services for anyone looking to improve their health, fitness, and overall well-being!”

“Not to sound dramatic, Diva Diva has been life changing for me.

Do you want to get fit in a workout that’s not boring?

Is it hard for you to push yourself at the gym?

Are you wanting to heal your inner child with play?

Do you want to reclaim your confidence and sensual self after trauma or divorce?

Have you never done anything completely for you?

These are one of a few years we connect here and PLAY.

Becoming a polist feels like a long game, and to be honest it is. You’ll get what you put in. But the pace belongs to you and there’s no timeline. And it is addictively FUN from the first class!!!

This community is inclusive and very body positive!!

Treat yourself. I can guarantee with near certainty you’ll be delighted you did.”

“Absolutely the best gym in Fayetteville. A wonderful community, knowledgable staff, nice equipment, a clean and peaceful space, and fun and welcoming group fitness classes that are always adapting to member needs!

I would absolutely recommend this gym to anyone new in town, young or old, or anyone who is hesitant about going to the gym in public (as I used to be). No matter who you are, what kind of exercise you enjoy, or where you are in your fitness journey, Clubhaus will do its best to support you and encourage you all the way.”

“CrossFit Commence was incredibly welcoming and approachable from the moment I walked in. I quickly found a group of women who took me under their wings, made me feel comfortable, and cheered me on throughout the workout.

Coach Dylan was wonderful. He took the time to break down each movement, made everything easy to understand, and offered modifications when needed so I could participate at a level that felt right for me.

There were so many friendly, encouraging faces, and the whole experience felt supportive rather than intimidating. If you’ve ever been curious about CrossFit but nervous about walking through the door, this is a great place to start. I will definitely be back!”

“After 25 classes as a 70 year old, I’m much more flexible, mobile and have better balance. I can now easily get up from the floor and I feel better physically. Barre3 is really working for me! The instructors/staff are friendly professionals who are all wonderful and helpful. Everyone is very supportive, including fellow attendees. I highly recommend Barre3 Fayetteville.”

“It's not the equipment or the environment, it's the staff. Helpful, warm, and friendly. I look forward to seeing them 3 times a week at the old folks gym.”

“Beautiful park! Great playgrounds, fairy garden and castle, tennis courts, gazebos, walking trails, fountains, swings, and even a city pool. Lots of trees and shade and near downtown. Some areas currently under construction.”

“Worked out here while I was in undergrad at the University of Arkansas and I can say utmost confidence it was the best gym I have ever been trained at to this day having graduated a year ago. I had been going to Planet Fitness and decided I needed somewhere to go that had everything I wanted, and Ozark Iron Gym was just that place. Staff was always kind and helpful, gym was always clean, and I always appreciated their effort to hold people accountable through requiring gym members to always rack your weights or putting things back where you left them. Made massive improvements in strength in this gym and would highly, highly recommend anyone in the NWA area to give it a shot, you won't regret it.”

“i love it here, so much space, always clean, and the night workouts are the best cuz there’s not much people and i am able to do what i need to do without any stress, i definitely prefer this one over the wedington one. and they added all new equipment and i really enjoy it, never have had any issues.”

“Always at least a good experience at this planet! I wish they updated cables and had more mirrors and dumbbells. Depending on time of day can be crowded. Always clean though!”

“I had a great experience at my recent pickleball Live Session ! Coach Sean was fantastic—knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging throughout the entire session. He explained techniques in a way that was easy to understand and gave helpful, personalized feedback that immediately improved my game. The lesson was well organized, fun, and worth every minute. I left feeling much more confident and excited to keep playing. I highly recommend Coach Sean to anyone looking to improve their pickleball skills, whether you're just starting out or looking to take your game to the next level!”

“I returned to Crunch a couple weeks ago after canceling my last membership about 2 years ago. I switched because it's the cheapest option for me as a student that has everything I need. I've had memberships at a ton of gyms in the area: Ozark Iron, CHOP Barbell, Anytime Fitness, Planet Fitness... All of which are great gyms too. But I will say, CRUNCH is a lot better than what it used to be. Here are the pros I've noticed, and the areas I think this gym could improve on:

•When I was last here, the place was filthy. I'm talking mold-growing-in-the-water-fountain filthy, toilet-water-everywhere filthy. The gym has definitely become much cleaner, although it can still be a little messy (paper towels on bathroom floor here and there), which I don't mind as much.
•Staff has been kind and helpful in my experience.
•Lots of nice equipment. I appreciate the deadlift stations. A smile gripe is the number of benches, but I was a bit spoiled at some of the powerlifter-type gyms I used to go to for much more $$, so I can't complain much. I go in the morning (6 am), and so far I haven't had to wait on any equipment. Previously, when I had my last membership, it would get pretty packed in the evenings, but I haven't been in the evenings recently.
•Con: The equipment is kind of all over the place. I understand it's a high traffic gym, but it's difficult to find plates or barbell clips sometimes. I'm about to buy my own clips at this point to save time and frustration. (edit months later: this is still an issue, and there's often random equipment lying around in random places. If you use equipment, please put it back. that's basic gym etiquette.)
•Sauna is a huge plus for me.
•I'm on the $16 monthly no-commitment membership. I've seen some reviews complain about extra fees if cancelling early—there is fine print that you must keep your membership for 60 days to avoid extra fees. So, beware.
•I had no trouble canceling in the past, as I always choose the no-commitment options. Hopefully that remains the case if I need to cancel for some reason.

I will update if I notice any change in my opinion. So far, I'm pleased.”
