    I stumbled into Ark Fit just planning to look around and tour the gym. I hadn't worked out in years after having a baby and honestly wasn't planning on jumping into anything serious. But while I was on the tour, the trainers encouraged me to try a class starting in 20 minutes. I was terrified, but I said yes.....and that one class reminded me that I could do hard things. It was exactly the push I needed (thank you Michelle and Tobias), and I signed up the same day (with zero pressure from anyone). Thank you Eric for answering ALL of my questions about membership and for being a welcoming presence while I nervously walked into a gym for the first time in years. What makes Ark Fit different is the people. The trainers don't just run a class, they bring the energy. They correct your form so you get better and stronger, and if something feels too hard, they'll modify it so you can keep moving. Every trainer has been warm, encouraging, and truly meets you where you're at. The members are all ages, and fitness levels, which makes the space feel welcoming and inclusive instead of intimidating. Plus everyone I've met has been kind and encouraging giving high 5's or a word of encouragement between workouts. This might sound like a paid ad lol it's not, Ark Fit sells itself. After just a few classes, you'll see what I mean. If you're reading reviews like I used to, wondering if this is the right place, I hope this helps. We all start somewhere. See you in class!

    I tried Ark Fit because of a good friend's recommendation. I've been there almost every day since. The coaches are extremely friendly and more than anything knowledgeable AND approachable. This isn't a dirty or intimidating gym. This is by far one of the best high performance athletic facilities you can find in OC. Everyone including the people who workout there are mindful of the equipment and cleaning etiquette (biggest pet peeve since I am a sweaty guy and always need to make sure I wipe everything a million times). The open gym 10/10, classes 10/10, staff 10/10, I just wish it was cross the street from my house. Either way 20/10 would lift here again!

    "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 and changed me for the better.

The results speak for themselves. The physical changes are noticeable, but more importantly, the consistency, energy, and overall mindset shift have been just as impactful. What truly sets this location apart is the coaching staff and the community. The coaches strike the perfect balance between motivating, encouraging, and keeping things fun (even during the toughest sets). They push you when you need it, support you when struggling, and genuinely care about your progress. Equally important is the community. What started as a group of people working out together has naturally evolved into real friendships. That kind of environment is rare and important to me. If it were not for the great people here, I would have stuck with my other Fitness membership. Speaking of which, in full transparency - I still have another fitness membership elsewhere. However, I have not touched it in months. If one is looking for a place that delivers results, keeps you engaged, and surrounds you with the right people - this F45 Tustin location is the place to be.

They have many class options but they do seem to get busy because they're waitlisted on the app. I managed to passport one Saturday morning. I liked the trainers, the vibe and the music. The DJ arrived for the class after mine so I missed out on that but I still liked the music. I noticed the gym was air conditioned which was different to mine. The instructor's were great at walking around and giving you tips on your workouts. The workout was amazing as always, it's really as hard as you decide to push yourself. So you could have an easy workout by doing body weight exercises or you could lift heavy. Easy parking in the lot up front.

    I went to my first class here through classpass. I took Pace & Press. It was a fun class and I…read morereally pushed myself past my comfort zone because I didn't know I could run AT ALL. The first half of the class was an interval training between walking, jogging, and running. And the second half of the class was strength training. I wish there was more guidance from the instructor for the second half but it was just following what was on the screen like 100 step ups, 90 plank shoulder taps, 80 something, 70 something, etc. It was kind of like F45 style but without the timer and stations. Since there wasnt too much guidance on that part, I felt like I pretty much paid for an interval training on the treadmill. I enjoyed the experience though and would be open to trying out a different class to give it a fair review of if I want to continue or not. I'm still giving it a solid 4 stars though because I pay attention to little details. This studio had HAIR TIES and TAMPONS and even face wash in their bathrooms for us girlies and it's not much but so thoughtful!! Also there are earplugs inside the studio room for those who think its too loud!!! I get headaches when its too loud so I felt so seen and understood by the studio. Also at the end of class, a staff walks around passing out COLD WET TOWELS so you can cool down. These are all little extras that really make a studio stand out so kudos to this place!!

The workouts are strong, but that's not the differentiator. The community is. You see the same people consistently, and over time it becomes a tight, supportive group. It's rare to find a gym where you actually look forward to who's going to be there, not just what's programmed. Programming is thoughtful and well-balanced -- strength + high-intensity cardio -- and it never gets stale. Chris (owner/instructor) is especially good at reading people and pushing you just past where you think your limit is. You end up doing more than you expected, regularly. There's also real connection beyond the floor. They organize occasional events -- I recently did a cooking class with ~20 women from the gym -- and it adds another layer to the experience. I've always been active, but this is the first time in 20+ years I've been this consistent. That's not accidental -- it's because of the environment. If you want a place that will push you, keep you accountable, and make you want to show up, this is it.

The instructor will then go through the workout and demo the moves, while explaining the timing. They always write a great workout that keeps you moving and incorporates some CrossFit movements. You then have the rest of class time to get through the workouts. In my experience, you have to keep moving to be able to complete the entire workout in the classtime, so it's a great challenge. They have two showers in the women's room if you need to shower before heading to work, but you need to bring your own towels. I personally love the workouts here, but I know it may not be everyone's cup of tea because it's a go at your own pace workout, so you don't have a group doing the same moves and timing as you.
