ZANESVILLE, Ohio – A new wave of fitness culture has arrived in Zanesville, thanks to former Marine Kendall Kane, who has officially opened Arc Reactor Fitness on Grove Avenue. More than just a gym, this new CrossFit space focuses on building a supportive community where members push each other to grow stronger—physically and mentally.
A Veteran’s Vision Becomes Reality
For Kendall Kane, fitness has always been a passion. After serving as a Marine, he turned his dedication, discipline, and drive toward creating a place where people could train together and uplift one another.
“Arc Reactor Fitness has been a lifelong dream,” Kane said. “Being able to give back to my local community and continue to serve is something I’m very proud of and happy to do.”
The gym had a soft opening in July but officially marked its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony that drew members, trainers, and supporters from across Zanesville.
A Gym Built on Encouragement
Unlike traditional gyms where members often work out alone, Arc Reactor Fitness thrives on shared motivation. Kane explained the unique approach:
“We strive to get better together so no one’s in here just for themselves. They’re in here to help everybody else get better too. If I see you struggling through a workout, I might stop what I’m doing and work out alongside you. In bigger classes, you’ll have people cheering you on until you finish.”
This philosophy has already created a strong sense of camaraderie, turning workouts into shared challenges and victories.
Rapid Growth and Strong Support
Despite being a new addition to the local fitness scene, Arc Reactor Fitness has already gained around 130 members and features three professional trainers—Kane included. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, with members embracing the gym’s community-driven approach.
Kane reflects on the journey with gratitude:
“Seeing it flourish this quickly, for me, it’s been really cool and I’m very grateful for it.”
More Than a Gym – A Community Movement
Arc Reactor Fitness stands as an example of how fitness can be more than physical training—it can be about building relationships, strengthening mental resilience, and fostering a sense of belonging.
With a Marine’s discipline and a trainer’s dedication, Kendall Kane has created a space where Zanesville residents can challenge themselves and support each other every step of the way.
This is more than a gym opening—it’s the start of a fitness movement rooted in community spirit.
