Written by the company

Arca er Danmarks største udbyder af holdtræning af meget høj kvalitet. Vores tilgang til træning er unik og vi tror på, at du bliver bedre, sundere og stærkere af at træne med os. Arca betyder box på latin. En box er meget mere end et træningscenter og her er vi fælles om at træne. Fælles om at udfordre kroppen, lege, løbe og svede. Vi er ikke et fitnesscenter. Her er ingen spejle, ingen instruktør med mikrofon og ingen, er overladt til sig selv. Arca startede vi, da vi drømte om bedre og sjovere træning end hvad du kan finde i de gængse fitnesscentre – og fordi det ikke passede ind i deres verden. Vi ville bevæge os, uden at blive begrænset af æstetik, maskiner og monotone workouts. Derfor er dét, vi laver hos Arca ikke noget, du finder andre steder. I dag dukker tusindvis af medlemmer op hver dag op og træner, og selvom vi nu er at finde i alle de større danske byer, er det stadig din lokale box, du træner hos. Vi tilbyder ubegrænset træningsmuligheder i alle boxe og du bliver altid taget godt imod, uanset hvilken box, du træder ind i. Hver eneste box omfavner det helt særlige træningsfællesskab, hvor du kender din træner og hilser på ham og hende, du træner side om side med. Kom ned og træn med os i en af vores 20 boxe i Danmark.

Arca - Sundere. Stærkere. Sammen

Written by the company

Hos Arca er vi fælles om træningen. Dig og din træner – og resten af holdet. Sammen knokler vi for at blive sundere og stærkere. Vi bruger vores krop til dét, den er skabt til, udfordrer den og lærer nye færdigheder.
Træning hos os er sjov og effektiv træning. Vi træner funktionelt og intelligent, så vi både styrker kroppen nu og på lang sigt. Vi bruger alt fra sjippetov til kettlebells og tilrettelægger træningen så alle kan være med.

Not baby friendly

I bought the membership to use Arca MOMS and Baby WOD trainings. Unfortunately, the facilities and trainings are not baby-friendly - lots of dust and dirt on the floor, the music is way too loud for the little ears.

Fine trainers and program, but won't recommend the membership for mom and baby activities.

Mass- trainings, lack of quality

Since May 2022 until October 2022, I was a member of Arca. From the beginning the experience was somewhat questionable due to several reasons: lack of individual trainer feedback during group classes, overcrowded training facilities and lack of focus on possible injures for unexperienced participants. Arca put a lot of focus on mass-training and less focus on quality of the training for individuals. An unexperienced individual has a high risk for long-term injuries as all trainings are not really focused on techniques, but rather on speed and quantity of people coming to classes. Mass- training principal is not good. money-making and lack of trainers- drives the overall quality down.

Hi there

We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your time at Arca!

It is difficult to create a program that is adapted to all individuals. We always take members injuries into account and and do everything we can to customize the program for these members.

It is completely fair that you do not want to train with us, if training in classes is not for you. However, this is a big part of our concept :-)

Have a great day,
Team Arca

Fraudulent business practices

Their business model is scamming people with a terrible product. Their equipment belongs in the junk yard, and if you try to cancel the membership they’ll do what they can to squeeze money out of you.

I happily paid for the extra two months, but because i wasn’t aware that i owed extra (as they failed to inform me, on purpose) i was charged insane penalty charges. This is done on purpose and i doubt the legality of this practice.

Don’t fall for their advertisements.

There’s a reason they’re not allowed to be affiliated with the CrossFit name anymore.

Hi there Julius!

We are sorry to hear that you feel this way. However, we do not quite understand where the critique is coming from, since we have read our e-mail correspondences from the 22 of August and there is a cheerful tone and we answer all your questions :-)
When you sign-up for a membership, you accept our terms and agree to our cancellation procedures. :-)

All the best,
Team Arca

Good workouts - bad pricing

I like the workouts but the prices are crazy expensive. I was a member but then had to stop because it was expensive, then I was able to start again for a short while but have now had to fully stop, because of the price. Almost nothing in student discount. And they really should have a membership cheaper for only classes as I never use open gym which I believe is the same for many others.

As all previous commenters say

As all previous commenters say - a robbery. You don't use the service, cancel subscription yet Arca continues to charge your card for at least 1 more month.

In 2022 this kind of service is insanity. Imagine netflix charging you an additional year if you wanted to stop subscription (499DKK / month is substantial)

Arca won't refund membership never used

I had signed up for 2 months free. Now, when the free months ended, I was converted to a paid membership. I had not attended their classes once, so I asked them for a refund, and was told that wasn't possible.

And when you cancel, you have to pay for the remained of the month, plus one additional month.

So one week in, I'm forced to pay for 2 months of a service I never did or will use.

Not coming back, and won't recommend you do either.

Hi Anders,

Thank you for your review.

All our memberships are running unless the member actively cancels the membership. Our notice period for cancellation is the running month + a month.
This is written in the process of signing up and is also stated in our membership terms and in the email with the receipt that we've sent you.
We are sorry if you do not feel informed well.

Best Regards,
Team Arca

They are scammers and purposely covert…

They are scammers and purposely covert to get all your money - I got on their 2 month trial, cancelled a week before the end but they charged me 499kr anyway. I can live with this, despite it being annoying, expensive and not obvious in the first place. BUT, a week later they charged me again 499kr. That’s 1.000kr over 1 week.

Totally money hungry and immoral. Awaiting a response from customer service to fix this.

They say free but they charge you without telling you

I have became a member for their 2 months of free trial membership. I have not been able to go to Arca even one single time however I can see that they have charged me a full membership amount even in the first month. If I wouldn't check my bank account, they could have charge me more. Stay away from this company.

Despite saying per mail I was no longer a member, I just discovered Arca has charged me for a several months. It’s currently also impossible on the website to to recover your membership login. So now, I got a membership I’m not using and being charged for it, even though I was promised back in January (4 months ago), that I wasn’t a member anymore.

Robbery at ARCA

I purchased an offer for ARCA however I cancelled a month later as I was not happy with the service. When I cancelled the service I was charged for that month and now I am being charged for February knowing that I will not be using the service and that I have waived it. A robbery.

Worst Gym around the WORLD; Company with NO MORALS

Firstly, I have lived all over the world (Chicago, Shanghai, Frankfurt, Quito, and now Denmark). I have always been a CrossFit gym goer. That being said, I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE come across such a horrible gym. The gyms are super small, the equipment is lacking (to say the least) and outdated! Furthermore, The rooms are crude and unclean (having customers semi-spraying things down is just not good enough...). This gym in DEFINITELY NOT worth 465 DKK per month (even if the only perk they have is that you can go into any one of their lame gyms). When I cancelled the membership, apparently, they had never received the cancellation on their system (so its always the customers fault so make sure you SAVE ALL your transactions). I had to cancel my membership twice. Then you have to take your membership off hold and pay two months of full charges once you cancel your membership as their policy (which no one ever reads) states this (any way they use to make money). Even unsubscribing to their website is difficult as I had done this three times, to no avail (adverts still kept on coming). So, if you want to divorce yourself from this company, you need all the luck you can get. Lastly, THERE IS NOBODY, i mean nobody, TO CONTACT WHEN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. So, to talk to people about errors in the system, is just non existent (good luck!). I have been fortunate to have a membership to the best gyms in the world (like Project One/One Nation in Shanghai where you get well known crossfit athletes frequenting there and olympic weightlifting champions train you), to the worst and most crappy gym that I have ever come across (which is ARCA). Never recommend this gym to anyone....

Hello Loli,
So sad to hear that you didn't enjoy working out at Arca and that you didn't find our service satisfying. Out system didn't cope well with lockdown/re-opening x2, and we're fixing the problems now, but very sad to hear about your experience.
If we can help you with anything, we're answering emails at kontor@arca.dk - you can't reach us by phone, but we're always answering emails.
We hope you've found a gym that fits you :-)

I canceled my subscription a few months ago. After the lockdown, 2 × was debited, which is also ok due to the closure.
Repeated attempts have now been made to debit ...
Customer service is lousy ...

Hi Franziska,
I'm sorry to hear that you've had a bad experience. And it's definitely not on purpose that there's been withdrawals from your account after your cancelation! I can see in the system that you've had two memberships - that is probably why you've experienced withdrawals - because one of them was still active. But send us an email at kontor@arca.dk, then we can find a solution about a transfer back to your account.

Hope to hear from you.

Kind regards,
Team Arca
