Reviews of Iron Athlete Gym (Gym)

mathew abraham

This is an old school gym. No frills, no fancy machines, hardcore and straight to the point. Barbells, dumbbells, squat racks, machines in a large open setting. I didn't use it but I know they have a lot of personal and group functional strength training also. I loved it. The atmosphere is all about training and the people are very knowledgeable, nice and positive. This is a great place for newbies and a great place for experienced gym rats.

Top notch equipment, very well run. No dumb rules like "don't slam weights" or "no gymtimidation". Suited for all types of training, from High School Athletics to powerlifting (I love the Texas Deadlift Bar) There are many gyms closer to my house but the 20 min drive is worth it.

This gym changed my lifting experience. I am a student athlete, and it has always been a struggle to get a good lift in over winter break. That is until I found Iron Athlete. Their gym has all of the equipment that you would find in a College Varsity weight room and even much more. The atmosphere is judgement free and everyone seems to be working towards their own individual goals. The owners and people who work there learned my name the first day that I came in and were always super helpful and friendly. I would recommend this gym to people at any lifting experience level, who want to get their body right in an uncomparable positive environment.

Love this gym, and the Women’s Strength and Conditioning class is amazing- great group!!. I’ve been getting up for the 6am class 3 days a week for 6 months. Sara is a great coach- she knows when to push and when to smile and encourage.... I would never do the types of workouts/lifting we do in class on my own. At 42- I am stronger than I have ever been. Highly recommend this gym.

I've been working out with Sara and the morning Women's Strength and Conditioning group for over a year. I've loved every minute of it. I'm stronger than I've ever been and am always motivated to keep coming back. Sara always challenges us and is focused on using proper form. Highly recommend this gym !

Matt Powers

Iron Athlete has a great staff, training programs and atmosphere. Jim and Sara run a top notch facility, thanks!

Jeff Tucker

We were there for a powerlifting competition. It was well run and the gym looks like a good place to work out.

Joann Lanetti

Sara and Jimmy are awesome owners and trainers. If your looking to get stronger and leaner this is the place to go. There’s something for everyone, classes, group training and personal training. I’ve been personal training and taking classes for over 5 years with them and have never felt and looked better!! Love this gym!!

John Hicks

Best gym in lansdale

Evan Famous

Great gym if you are planning on lifting heavy. They have tons of squat racks with tons of extra plates/bars and tons of free weights. Plenty of open space for stretching as well. Highly reccomend!

Emily Alexander

Very small

Samuel Griffin

Fantastic gym. Perfect for everyone but especially ideal for anyone focused on fitness or strength training. Prices are very reasonable, no long term contracts or cancellation fees or anything like that. Staff is very friendly. Sara and Andrew were both quite helpful. Equipment is very nice. Plenty of well-maintained barbells for Olympic lifting. They have 6 power racks, 2 Olympic platforms, 2 deadlift platforms, plenty of pull-up bars, a dumbell area, plenty of room for CrossFit/cross-training, and all the machines one could need. They even have 2 ghd machines, which are hard to find sometimes. Very convenient hours for a family run gym. Very laid-back atmosphere, which is perfect for me. Never too crowded as far as I can tell. I will be a long-time member.

Darren Taylor

Amazing facility with a family atmosphere. Owners are terrific people with the knowledge to guide and help at all times. Simply put best price around for what you get! Love this place!

Lori Eder

I love this place! If you want options, they've got them! Awesome staff and a fun facility with equipment you won't get at other gyms. Excellent value!

Brian McCarthy

I dropped into Iron Athlete while traveling and it was perfect. It's a large facility with all the equipment I required to continue my home training routine away from home. LOVE the turf and sleds - something very hard to find these days. I'll be back anytime I'm in the area.

Tyler

This place is on the money! Has a great vibe and is super clean. Great trainers that are always willing to help and give you encouragement. Do not sleep on this place. Awesome for all ages and experience! #ironathlete

I love the place!! Best local gym we had in years!

Anthony D'Annunzio Jr.

I’ve been with Iron athlete for almost 2 years and absolutely love this gym! Never had to wait for a squat rack or bench, ever. I also use their Olympic weightlifting platforms and bumper plates which I haven’t seen at any other local gym. They also have other training options available such as turf for sled pulls and prowler pushes, kettlebells etc...., also haven’t seen this at any other gym outside of a CrossFit box, which is nice. On a personal note, Jim and Sara gave me some great coaching for my cleans which helped me tremendously! Highly, highly recommend Iron Athlete!

Jenna Messerschmidt

I have been going to iron athlete for years, before they made the move to this new amazing location! The best thing about this gym is they really have options for everyone! You can just go on your own anytime and use all the traditional equipment or check out some of the different things most gyms do not have like prowlers, tire or battle ropes. If you want a little guidance of what to do you can have them make you a program to follow. If you are a beginner to working out or just want someone to give you the extra push you can personal train! Plus they offer some classes!! I worked out here and did the classes during my whole pregnancy and then right back at it after I delivered. Great gym and trainers!! Everything you could want in one place!

John Fenstermacher

I just finished my first month at Iron Athlete and can say what a great gym this is. Sara and Jim are great, very knowledgeable and willing to help with any questions you may have. My biggest regret is that I drove past the gym almost daily and never checked it out, don't make my mistake and go see what you are missing. First boot camp next week!!!

Charlene

Simply put, this place makes my head happy! Sara and Jimmy have cultivated an atmosphere that welcomes and inspires. The programming keeps me engaged and constantly challenged; the variety of equipment keeps it fresh and fun. The new space is awesome. Check this place out!

Mandi Mohr

Iron Athlete provides a fun training atmosphere that can get you out of a mundane routine. The energy in the gym is always high and makes you want to work harder and lift more. Sara and Jimmy are awesome... eager to challenge you and always helpful.

Gina B.

Great gym! Lots of space, clean facility and plenty of equipment (3 deadlifting platforms, 3!) Sara and Jim are excellent teachers and are always willing to help and answer questions.

Christine DeLongis

This gym is awesome. I do the Women's Strength training 3 days per week at 6 am. 'Love Sara and the workouts she creates for us. love how she motivates us and the camaraderie of our group really keeps me motivated. This is a great gym!

joe calafati

The owners, Sara and Jimmy, are fantastic! The gym is spacious with all the free weights, and machines plus classes you could want. If your in to fitness and cross fit this is the place for you. Need a trainer? No problem. Jimmy and Sara are the best in town. Everyone I have meet at Iron Athlete has been very friendly and easy going. What a fun place to work out! Highly recommend. -Joe C.

William Aja

A great gym for powerlifting. They have plenty of squat racks, 1 Deadlift platform, 2 OLY platforms, a turf area, some cable machines, and plenty of Dumbbells. They have Ohio Power bars, Deadlift bars, and a few specialty bars including safety squat bars. Their leg press machine is no joke, and they have a reverse hyper machine as well as a glute ham raise machine. The membership is definitely reasonable and the atmosphere is perfect. Friendly people, lots of knowledge shared, and all around a great gym. I love coming here!

I am a recent member of the gym and looked for this type of gym in Montgomery County so I could train differently then the normal offerings from chain gyms. I have trained for many years at many types of facilites and this is one of the best GYMs for putting in hard work. The people are fantastic, the work ethic incredible and the workout offerings are plentiful with a lot of Racks, Deadlifting (w Bands), a full compliment of Kettlebells, a Reverse Hyper and much, much more. Put in the work, results are here for you. Need help just ask, does not get better!!!!!! In addition, my best part; my son ( 13 years old) is enrolled with the summer program so he goes with me and is learning fundamentals, gym etiquette and developing his skills (instuctor led) that will last a lifetime all at affordable pricing for both of us. Sarah and Jim have put together a fantastic Gym, created a GREAT CULTURE and are DEEPLY PASSIONATE about their members getting the best results possible while having a great workout experience every single visit. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

The atmosphere at Iron Athlete is one that is welcoming and inspiring to lifters at all levels, from novice to elite. The staff is friendly and more than willing to help you. The equipment is topnotch. You won't find a better gym in Lansdale.

Amanda Crouthamel

Iron Athlete Gym is wonderful. I’m an avid weight lifter and when I moved I couldn’t find a gym that catered to my weight lifting style of workout until I found Iron Athlete! It’s 100% a no judgement zone, everyone who works out here is incredibly nice and helpful. The founders of the gym are very welcoming and really make me feel comfortable every time I walk through the gym doors. I highly recommend Iron Athlete Gym to anyone looking for a new gym in the Lansdale area.

I have been to the majority of gyms in the tri-county area and this is by far the best gym I have encountered. Whether you are looking to lose weight, are a power lifter, are an athlete training for a specific sport, or have another goal, Iron Athlete has the equipment and space that will allow you to push yourself to meet you're goals. Not only is the facility cleaner than any gym in the area, but Jimmy and Sara prove to be friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and they will give you great ideas for workouts. They take the time to know each member on a personal level resulting in a very enjoyable experience. The atmosphere will give you the extra motivation as all members are very friendly and encouraging as well. If you are looking to join a gym or are dissatisfied with your current training program, I would stop in Iron Athlete.

Caleb Gibson

I love training here, wouldn’t want to train at any other spot! Love the atmosphere and the community/friendship that are built

Zach

No water fountain, no mirrors, equipment from the 60s, this is the worst I have been to Vietnam.

Maria Doheny

Trainers are amazing--- positive & motivating! I am new to the gym experience and have gained confidence, strength and speed since training here. NOT a typical cookie-cutter gym...focus is on achieving personal fitness and strength goals here led by knowledgeable and engaged trainers!

Kelly Longstreet

I've known Sara and Jimmy for years now and have trained with both. Great coaches that really care about helping you reach your personal goals. The new gym is great and caters to everyone . If you are looking to get a gym membership this is the place.

Andrew Boland

Best gym around town! Nice staff and awesome equipment!

M Win

Iron Athlete is an amazing atmosphere in which to improve yourself! There are so many different kinds of people there, it is obvious that all are welcome. The staff do a fantastic job creating a workout tailored for you and your goals. I’m so thankful this gym is in our town!!!

Patti Smith

Really love this gym. My go to in Lansdale. Only reason it’s not 4 stars is the hours - I’m a night gymmer so the weekend hours are wonky for me and sometimes on Friday nights, I’m rushing to get my workout done because they close early and I have a killer commute. But if you’re a morning person, this gym is great! They have equipment that other gyms in the area don’t and a very laid back vibe.

Erik Bergey

this place is amazing it made me strong and has really nice people great place.

Matthew

Not good no water fountain

Anne Vezina

Great gym, great people, great work outs! The new location has plenty of parking spaces and is so welcoming. Sara and Jim are always there to help and push you and there is always a workout on the board if you are unsure of what to do. never boring! I am really looking forward to start the new year in this new location.

Mark Fuse

Iron athlete has everything I could ever ask for and more. The equipment is all in great shape and the layout is perfect. Everyone is very friendly and professional and always willing to lend a helping hand

Michael Darcy

My time at iron athlete has been nothing short of amazing. In the time of a little short of a year I went from 115 to 200 pounds. Iron Athlete is not just a gym it’s family every time I walk in the gym I know everyone in there and all are different shapes and sizes. There accepting of everyone. And everyone there is rooting for you to succeed.

lea anne welsh

Jim and Sara are amazing people and truly care about their members. I have been a client since 2010 and work out 4-5 times a week. The people are great, it is a fun environment and most important, their clients see results.

Sean Brennan

Great Gym! Sara is amazing! She knows her stuff! I deff recommend to anyone...all shapes and sizes!

Brian Hafler

Great gym with great people! It has everything for hardcore lifters and beginners. Much better environment than your basic commercial gym.

pAul Czeresko

I’ve been a member for about three months now and it’s the best gym in the area. It’s well-stocked for powerlifting and athletic conditioning alike. The staff are friendly and open to suggestions. Everyone here just wants to be a better version of themselves.

Dean Landers

After over a year of training at Iron Athlete, I can say that I will not go anywhere else. A dependable, helpful staff who I'm proud to call friends, well-maintained equipment, good music, and an attitude where everybody wants everybody else to succeed makes this the place to be at 5am or any other time. I've gone from somebody who was afraid to deadlift, afraid to squat, and overall very weak to a person who can walk into this gym, grab a squat rack or a platform or some dumbbells and get to work. It comes at an affordable price, and the hours are great. It's obvious that it's a place for lifters, and it's a place to better your life.

Kari Diamond

Roomy, inviting and loads of equipment for whatever level lifting you are currently at. As a 40 something female I work hard here with excellent guidance and am pushed beyond what I can do on my own. All ages will feel comfortable and will find a workout that suits you or do your own thing! Come on in and talk to one of the trainers!!

Paula Angelucci

Iron Athlete has proven to be the first gym with its inspirational Trainers / Owners to really help me move the needle on my level of fitness, strength , how I look and feel ! Jimmy and Sara as partners challenge you and support you through your journey. This gym has a program for all ages ! My daughter works out here as well and is as addicted and obsessed as I am ! The members are welcoming and inclusive and support you as you begin your workout Journey . Coaching is a piece of my professional life and many days after a class ... I will take what Jimmy and Sara has inspired us with to push and challenge us harder to my team at work ! I HIGHLY recommend Iron Athlete ! This is the first google review I have ever done - I was inspired to share my insight with others around IA !
