Overall it’s a very good gym. Amanda is very friendly and so are most of the people that go there. Unfortunately now there is a powerlifting group that goes in the afternoons and if you are using one of their benches or squat racks you have to get up when they get there. One of the guys works there now I guess and apparently if you aren’t paying him for a training program then you can’t use certain equipment while he’s there. Go anytime before 5 or on the weekends and it’s a great place.

This is the best gym I’ve EVER been to. And I’ve literally tried them all. Planet, anytime, LA, lifetime, MEI, YMCA, etc. and nothing compares. The equipment selection is amazing. Everything is clean and organized and always easy to find. Even when it’s busy there is always room and equipment and you never feel like youre in the way. The staff is nice, professional, and knowledgeable.

Great family owned gym. Service and equipment top notch. Love the inside outside over head doors.

Thanks for letting me drop in! I loved the facility and will be back for sure.

I’ve been working out for just over 30 years now. I’ve worked out in more gyms than I can count and I’ve got to say, Barkes Fitness LLC is by far one of the best places I’ve had the honor of working out in. The atmosphere in this place is the best in town, period. When I walked through the door for the first time last Spring, I knew, I found my new home/gym. If you live in the Fisher, Noblesvilles, Indy, Pendleton, Fortville area, do yourself a favor and check them out.

The best gym I’ve ever been to in my life. The vibe in here is just completely different! Everyone is so friendly and motivational. Owners are AMAZINGGGGGG people very welcoming.

Welcoming gym to all. Whether just getting into lifting and working out or a long time gym rat, very friendly and inviting. Locally owned and operated. Owner and her family also workout! If you are tired of the same old thing try them out!

I love this gym! The owners are amazing, they care about their members and are always looking to find ways to make your experience better. I wish I could give more stars!

Great place to workout, I enjoy the atmosphere every time I go in to workout. The people there are great and the staff does a fantastic job taking care of the facility.

The place where you feel like family and the music is always good even if you forget to charge your headphones !

A great spot to train with like minded people. When youre here youre like family. The only spot to train in Indianapolis

Best gym

This place is AMAZING!! Big Ben and Amanda really know how to create an amazing friendly atmosphere for getting an awesome work out. Also, the one on one focus with nutrition and exercise programs are customized and built around my specific needs. Like no other gym Ive ever attended! Thank you so much for the nutrition plans and personal training sessions! Total Game Changer!!

These people are all super fun and motivating. They push you but are very supportive. They are super knowledgeable too. The gym has lot of equipment and its really clean and laid out well. I havent worked out that much and theyve been really cool about explaining what to do and correcting my form.

Life changing experience. If you have a family if you have a crazy work life balance this is the perfect place for you

One of the best, if not the best, gym in Indianapolis. The owners are genuine and personable, the atmosphere is incredible and they have some of the most useful equipment you can find. I also love the fact that it has 24/7 access. Seriously, check it out!

Barkes Fitness is everything I needed for my fitness journey! Amanda and Ben have trained and challenged me to meet my personal fitness goals. My knowledge base has grown and they are there to help you reach your goals every step of the way!! Best trainers Ive ever had!!

I trained at Barkes Fitness for a few months earlier this year. The facility was great, had everything you could possibly ask for, and was clean. The trainers were also knowledgeable and personable. I was also set up with a meal plan that (when followed) gave me the results I wanted. Leg day on Saturday mornings was a beast, but well worth it! Pro tip: listen to what theyre telling you!

I found The Gym a little more than a year ago now looking for a place that I could finally feel at home, little did I know that in such a short span of time Id come to feel so at home that I find myself there as much to work out as I am to spend time with my amazing gym family. Crazy.If youre looking for a light hearted, yet highly motivating environment with a vast mix of equipment and a team that will go above and beyond the call of duty to see you reach your goals then this is the place for you!Did I mention we have a giant chalkboard goal wall?!

This is my home away from home! I have been with the Barkes duo for a year and a half now and I couldnt be more grateful. Between the family atmosphere and amazing workouts I wouldnt chose anywhere else to work on my dream to compete!

Clean and lots of variety. From bottled water to towels in the shower rooms, it’s nice to be at place where owners care!

A lot of people ask how much time I spend at the gym everyday, prompting my query: Are you asking how long Im there? Or how long I workout?This gym has room for the old school bodybuilder, the modern power lifter, the Olympic lifter, the yoga enthusiast, the silks performers, and anyone else who wants to join the fitness family.Hell, the gym even has a mini kitchen if you didnt get your meals prepped ahead of time, a massage table, break room, and a sauna.The kids room is a highlight for the little ones and accents the fact that the gym is a family friendly environment.Speaking of family, I need to answer my question. I spend about 3 hours in the gym. I catch up with Ben and Amanda for the first 30 minutes, if theyre free, workout for an hour, perform any challenges Ben poses (Ill get around to my 1000 birthday burpees soon...), then either play with the kids or converse with other gym members in the break room for an extended period of time. As a member for almost 2 years, the staff and many other members have become my extended family. ❤️Its a gym of people who are serious about fitness but can sit back and enjoy life. Sense of humor is required.

Great environment to come in and train hard

This place has changed my life. I have been working out with Amanda a little over 2 years ago. She is somebody I would consider a sister to me. She pushes me even when I dont want to do it. I have never been this healthy in my life. I owe everything the Ben and Amanda for accepting me and my crazy life I have. ♡

Awesome facility. If you want it. They have it. Elite trainers and world class equipment.

Small local gym with a great community!

I went to Barkes Fitness to speak with Ben. Immediately I was greeted by a member with jokes and laughter. This is not your traditional gym where you go to feel uncomfortable or afraid to give it your all. As I spoke with Ben, I watched members chatting and assisting others as they worked out. Very cool atmosphere.

After 6 months, I feel healthier and more knowledgeable about nutrition and fitness. Thanks Amanda for getting the best out of me!

Im so glad I found this place! They helped me get my nutrition on track, and they have helped me improve my technique; I have learned so much. Its such a comfortable atmosphere. I actually love going to the gym now!
