Our Story

The Barkes Family

Amanda Barkes will tell you she and her husband have two things going for them; God and a passion for health and fitness.

​In 2009, Ben was working for a local gym in Indianapolis, when he received word the gym would be closing. After attempting a door to door sales position, Ben was encouraged to start his own small business as a personal trainer and encouraged Amanda to follow. Starting in a one car garage with no more than a big dream, passion to change lives, and a few small hand me down exercise equipment pieces, Barkes Fitness was born.

​It didn't take long before they needed more space. With caution thrown to the wind, they moved into downtown Indianapolis, to a 600 square foot studio. This served as home for the next year. It became apparent they needed to find a new space. To ask, "I didn't even question it. I knew God had a bigger plan for us then that space." So Barkes Fitness expanded to over 3,000 square feet. Here, Barkes Fitness brought small group training and yoga into the picture.
