Best Gym near Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

I love the new equipment PF added to their Gettysburg Pike Mechanicsburg location. These free weight racks are much better for advanced lifters and there's plenty of them to use. The additional cable machines and new turf area are nice too.

I have to give a HUGE shout out to Dora, she’s super friendly and nice! Also, the two gentleman up at the front desk on 10/22/24 (I unfortunately didn’t catch there names, one was wearing a black shirt and one was wearing a white shirt 😬), SUPER friendly and informative - this was during AM hours. These 3 people have made my experience so much better at this place! Smiling, warm and very welcoming. They all deserve a raise! The gym itself is wonderful. (I do my workout and leave, not talking to many people). Friendly staff is a major key part in running a business like this one!

Great Design on this location! Nice attention to detail. Jon, the overnight guy, was *deep-cleaning* the machines like I can't describe! Awesome 8-) this rack of accessories will get 80% of your fitness accomplished

All PF sites are a little different. The machines are basically the same with some slight modifications, but the layout is generally different in all given the space being used. After we got used to this PF, it was great. The staff is friendly, the facilities are clean, and the atmosphere is conducive for exercise and focus. Highly recommend. Enjoy/disfruta! 💯 🔥

Great place for all levels of fitness. I take my special needs son with me, and the staff are always welcoming. Plenty of equipment. The back corner gets a bit clogged with those who like to stare in the mirror, but you'll have that anywhere.😆

Love this gym! All the trainers work with you at your skill level to help you achieve your goals. I am a beginner and I feel so great at the end of a workout! Everyone is really friendly and nice and will help individually coach you to help reach your goals. Zarin Ahmed

I love this gym! Everyone is so friendly and will help you reach your individual goals through individual coaching. I just started working out, and I feel great after a work out session at Power Train.

Staff are amazing... my daughter loves her trainers! The muscle she's built since going has boosted her confidence in softball and soccer!

I’ve been training at the Mechanicsburg location a little over a year now. Alaina and her team are amazing! I always feel challenged, yet supported in my workouts and they always help me prepare for whatever I have going on whether it’s a OCR race or just keeping up my strength until I sign up for something else. The trainers always take a genuine interest in your well being and want to see you succeed. If you aren’t sure about lifting or personal training, bootcamp classes are a great way to dip your toe in and get acquainted.

Power train is great! The staff is very friendly and they always push you to do your best. I recommend Kae as a trainer, she makes sure your experience at Power Train is great.

The music is always lively so when I forget my headphones i don’t feel too sad! The equipment is pretty new as it seemingly rotates every few years! There is this new dress code it that helps to remind me that yes this gym is located on a Christian campus and comfortability doesn’t need to mean I get stared at while trying to work out!

The fit center is super clean and very well laid out. The staff is always friendly and wait times for machines/free weights are never too long. Accessible for students and community members!

Awesome environment for people of all levels of fitness and experience. The Falcon Fitness Center has something for everyone whether that be bikes, treadmills, pelotons, group exercise classes, free weights, or racks. The workers are all so kind and helpful with anything you have questions about. I undoubtedly recommend this gym for anyone!

Great atmosphere, great equipment, great workout. Scanning in can be a little difficult and it can get crowded but it's a gym so that's expected. Overall great place to form new habits.

is a great experience and great environment. awesome equipment with even more dumbbells and countless machines. clean and organized and is simply a great place to train!

this is the best gym i’ve ever been to! everyone inside, workers and people just working out, is extremely polite and make you feel welcomed. their smoothie bar is absolutely amazing and have wide range of flavors, and I could go on forever about the establishment. if you’re wanting to find a new gym or start getting into fitness, ARK is the way to go !

Today is Thanksgiving and I am truely so thankful to be a part of the Ark Family. This review is long overdue, Ive been a member at so many gyms in my lifetime and it’s definitely hard to put into words how amazing this place is. Starting with the owners, Noah and Hannah. They are so genuine, they do so much good for the community and deserve all the flowers. When you walk in through the door, they go out of their way to greet you by your name which is impressive In itself. I don’t just feel like a gym member, I really do feel like a family member. I personally go at 5:30am every day, before work, and am greeted every morning by a staff member named Ron. Simply put, there is no better way to start my day then walking in and saying good morning to him. He is Uncle Ron, and I’m very grateful to know him. His presence is naturally motivating and you don’t find that a lot these days. The equiptment they invested in is absolutely incredible. If you aren’t familiar with “Prime Fitness” look it up. From my knowledge, No other gym in the area has PF equipment. It’s an absolute game changer and worth all the hype. I don’t remember the last time I had to wait to use anything either, because theirs so much variety. And I’ve also never come across anyone who wasn’t inviting me to work in sets with them. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Such a great community. The trainers with NGPT are all top notch as well, and are always there to help with any kind of questions, even if you aren’t paying them. Last thing I want to touch on is the cleanliness. Everything is always so clean, the bathrooms are clean and weirdly always smell good. There is sanitizer and disinfectant spray in every corner of the gym, And as someone who has turned into a “Post Pandemic Germaphobe” these little details are very important to me. ARK fitness is less than 2 min from my house, and as long as they remain open. I will forever be a member and I will forever be an advocate for them. If I could give ARK Fitness 10 stars, I absolutely would. Even though I don’t want the gym to ever get over crowded like some other places in the area, I reccomend them without hesitation. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Highly recommend coming to this gym. They are constantly updating and adapting. They love listening to their members and making sure they’re taken care of. The quality of what you get when you sign up for this gym as a member is out of this world. They are also the nicest people you will ever meet and the community is amazing. They also do personal training at the gym and they are the best trainers ever. Sign up!!!

I used to workout at Crunch but it was so overcrowded I had to change my workouts every single day. Ark happens to be right down the road from me and my friend from college is a trainer here (Malaki is the most knowledgeable person in the gym hands down) I literally have only been 3 times since I just joined but feel inclined to leave a review already. This place is freaking amazing I have no other words. I have never seen equipment like theirs, they’re so welcoming to all the members, the lighting is awesome, posing room is super nice, I don’t have to wait for a machine, their attachments are unique, the place is clean, and best of all, I believe the owners are Christians. Some of the faith based stuff really encourages me because the two greatest things in life are God & the gym, ha ha! Only thing I’ll add: locker rooms or extra bathrooms would be great so I don’t have to feel bad for taking forever to change into my gym clothes…… But thank you Ark Fitness for your existence, I’ll be praying God sustains your business and blesses you through it!

This fitness center is the best around. I’ve had memberships at a few other places but none compare to Ark. The staff are super friendly, as well as the members that go here. All around good equipment for any type of training your looking for. There are never big crowds and there is always enough equipment to use. The friendly environment creates a great community feel to it, and the smoothie bar is the icing on the cake. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to work out that makes you feel welcome and motivated and not just another number in their system.

I just went to a competition that about 5 of their teams were in and they all did fantastic! I was in shock at how well they did and the stunts I saw. Very good coaching, very good team. Wish I lived around here because my daughter would go here. Great job.

I've been going here for 4 years years and my granddaughter has learned so much!

Great coaches

Great Staff.. Owners are Cool.. willing to help you if you have any Question. Great Facility..

great coaches

I was looking for a way to strengthen my core and improve my balance after a total knee replacement, and found Mechanicsburg Kung Fu Center through a recommendation by my chiropractor. The teaching team is incredible, I feel welcomed and supported, and classes are convenient. I would encourage anyone at any level of fitness to try tai chi at the Mechanicsburg Kung Fu Center!

Brian is an excellent master in teaching Kungfu. My children learned with him as younger age (6) and continued to now. He is very thoughtful, patience and explained to the kids not only how to be discipline, enhancing health , but also to be a good person. Especially with children in Autism Spectrum, he is very understandable and tried to encourage them to participate with peers. It is not easy to find the place where is willing to teach the kids in spectrum without judging. Mechanicsburg Kungfu center is needed place for all the boys and girls with or without disability. Highly recommended parents to enroll their children to practice in this place!

I started at Mechanicsburg Kung Fu center a few months ago. The instructors and everyone in the classes are incredibly helpful and patient. If anyone is looking for a place to help with mental and physical health while also learning something fun and unique, I highly recommend giving it a try.

I started attending Tai Chi classes 6 months ago and love the classes. Brian is a terrific teacher and makes learning fun as he breaks down concepts. Other students are welcoming and helpful. Classes really help with better body mechanics and awareness.

My oldest son joined the Mechanicsburg Kung Fu Center about 2 years ago. Just recently my youngest son has joined. Brian/Sifu Lahr has been a great instructor, role model and all around good person to both of my boys. I could not be happier with how well they are doing inside and out of the center with better self-control, confidence, and respect. An additional bonus to the center is Sifu Wagner. He, too, has been a good influence. I would highly recommend joining the Kung Fu Center if you are looking.

I was fortunate enough to get introduced to cycle by Myka Mills at another cycle studio. I am not a big fan of doing traditional cardio, and was encouraged by her to try it. Well… I now have taken 62 of her classes until she eventually had an instrumental part in helping to start and build NGX from the ground up. They say that excellent instructors significantly impact the success of the other students/instructors. I’ve seen her pour into her team of instructors and it’s evident that her passion for cycle is REAL! I’ve been attending Hannah Snyder's classes because it's really the only one that currently fits my schedule and because she's converted me into a metalcore fan. So not only am I huge fan of her playlists, but her classes are challenging for cyclist of all experience levels. If you've been waiting to try cycle, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. Myka and her team will give you an amazing experience that will have you coming back for 62 classes or maybe even more!

I have enjoyed my cycle classes here! The instructors are all so encouraging and passionate! They encourage you to push yourself but also understand if you have limitations or you just are not feeling well that day. They care about each person who walks in for a class and do their best to uplift you. Definitely recommend giving it a try!

I stepped away from my health journey for many years. When I made the decision that it was time to make it a priority again, I knew I needed help. I'm a USMC disabled veteran so the thought of going back into the gym after all the years of not.....was a bit scary. I knew I was a LONG way off of where I once was and that reality was a tough reality. I reached out to Next Generation and scheduled my first workout. The process was so easy and very comfortable. I met with Myka and told her EXACTLY what I was feeling and what I needed to be successful . She listened. She heard me. THAT meant so much to me. I've gotten my first month of training in and did my first spin class today. I LOVE it. It's not easy but that's okay. The support I have felt from this team of people is EXACTLY what I needed. I'm excited to see where I'm at in 6 months......I'll be back to give ya an update. LOL. If you are looking for people who will take the physical health journey WITH you, these are your people. I know they are mine!!!

Ark has changed my life for the better. This gym has such a wonderful community, and I felt like I fit right in when I first arrived. Anthony is a wonderful trainer and has helped me become stronger and happier with myself. I would fully recommend Ark Fitness to anyone who wishes to workout in a gym and to definitely choose Anthony as a trainer if they want to start working out with a personal trainer.

I cannot recommend Next Generation Personal Training enough! After having a baby, I was struggling to lose weight and get back into shape, but my trainer, Steven, has been an absolute game-changer. He is incredibly supportive, patient, and always takes the time to make sure I fully understand each exercise and plan. His positive attitude and encouragement, especially celebrating the small wins, have really kept me motivated. Steven is extremely knowledgeable and always responds quickly to any questions I have. On top of that, Next Generation Training is affordable, making it even more accessible. I’m so grateful for Steven and the whole team!

Great facility and program for parents of children with mental and emotional disabilities. I would recommend this service to any parent with children that are as such. As it says on the front, it really is great for not only creating in their minds a value for physical fitness but in helping these individuals learn to focus in their daily lives, harness their energy in a healthy way, and maybe even discover some hidden talents along the way! Instructors are skillful and very nice.

Love this service, the staff, and (most importantly) the benefit to our special needs population!!

Terrible owner very aggressive

I like going their
