This is the best gym Ive ever had the luxury of being a member of. They have all the equipment I want, with plenty of racks, platforms, and dumbbells. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and they made me feel at home while I was in Austin. I dont write google reviews and Im going out of my way to write this one, thats how great my experience has been here.
Absolutely love this gym!!!! I 10/10 recommend to everybody!!!! This gym has turned more into family than anything! From the atmosphere and the people this place makes me feel welcomed and comfortable!!
Super high quality weight equipment. Richard was incredibly friendly and I can only assume the rest of the staff is as well. Though the gym is lacking cardio, if youre going to a place called IronVault should you really be expecting that? I wouldnt recommend it if youre scared of loud noises, but if youre ready to move more into weight training and pushing 1 rep maxes then this is 100% the place for you.
Best gym in South Austin. Friendly staff. No frills, just power racks and hard workers.
Great place to workout! Been going here a week for the days when Lifetime is too packed. Lots of squat cages, all types of people but never too busy. The best gym for leg day
Awesome gym, originally started coming here because the other globo gym I was at let people not wear masks and this gym continued to enforce it as long as the CDC recommended it. Ended up finding the gym experience I had always wished for. Even during the busiest hours I never have trouble finding equipment. If youve ever gone to a box gym and wished they would replace all of the dumb equipment with barbells and platforms, then this is the gym for you. Also you cant really beat the price, especially considering its 24 hours.
Great gym for powerlifting, body building, and Olympic lifting. Many racks and benches, so no waiting for equipment. All Rogue bars and enough weights for everyone. James is a fantastic owner and listens to the customers. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful as well. No complicated contracts or upsells, has cheap day pass for only $5 available as well.
All the equipment is so clean and well maintained! The spotters are lovely as well. One guy was even nice enough to help me record one of my lifts :)
Exactly the place freeweight lifters will want. Everything you need, and enough space and equipment to get it done. Definitely would recommend.
I dont leave many reviews but I love this gym! If you want no nonsense, good atmosphere and plenty of squat racks this is the place for you! I cannot recommend FeV enough!
Great gym!! Worth every penny. Will never go back to a chain gym again, support local gyms everyone
If you’re looking around for where to go lift, then stop looking and just go here!I was traveling on a weekend and stopped by. I seriously told my wife, if we ever move, I want it to be here near this gym!If there’s any reason I come back to Austin, I will always come back!
The best gym Ive ever had, by far.If you like free weights, primarily train SBD, or like using chalk or making noise in the gym, you wont find a better gym in the area, especially at this price. Theres a reason much of the Longhorn Powerlifting team chooses to train here. On top of this, winter storm Uri showed me that the owner really care about the members.The only reason I wouldnt recommend this gym is because I never have to wait for a rack or bench and I dont want that to change. For real though, check this place out.
No-nonsense, respectful, classic style iron gym with plenty of equipment and space. I bought a day pass just to try it out and walked out with a membership.
Had an amazing time training at @fevgym. The owner was amazing and super accommodating plus he is a veteran and I love supporting those that have served. It was clean, well taken care of, and a perfect setup, couldn’t ask for a better vacation gym. If you’re in Austin, it’s a MUST.
It’s an ok gym. Just depends on what your goals are. In my opinion the monthly fee is way too much for a small gym with limited equipment beyond power racks and barbells. I’m not really sure what their goal is. Most gyms I’ve been to that cater to powerlifters have way more and better equipment but It’s the only option in South Austin other then Golds so they have that going for them. Maybe paint the plywood or something.
This gym is just what I’ve been looking for! It’s predominantly free weights, but they do have a fantastic cable station as well. Staff is genuinely customer concerned, and fellow gym goers actually practice standard gym etiquette as in re-racking and wiping down weights and stations. Amazing!
Loved this place, heavy lifters only this place motivated me to go harder just with their environment
Impressive gym with the right equipment to get strong. Always many open pieces of equipment and was never crowded. Also the 24 hours access is a huge plus.Extremely friendly staff who remembered my name after just a few visits. Reminds me of what a gym should feel like. Friendly, local and genuine. Partners in your fitness journey.In addition, the staff and members were very diligent around cleaning the equipment during the Covid-19 era. Felt no fear using the equipment or risking any exposure. Highly recommend the gym!
Went in for a day pass yesterday. Incredible experience. The owner was great. Super clean spot. Tons of unique exponent & bars. Highly reccomend
Hands down the best gym Ive ever been to. The equipment is top notch, the music kicks, and the spotters remembered my name after a week of going there. Ive never been so pumped to get in the gym!
With the Covid pandemic shutting down most of the gyms I am so thankful that FeV has remained opened for the community. This facility is always clean and organized and its never overly crowded or filled with gym pervs (ladies, you know what I mean). The owner is extremely down to earth is he always greets people when he is himself training at the facility. The spotters are also very friendly and they are amazing at keeping the equipment sanitized. If you are looking for a new gym where squat racks, platforms and barbells are always available look no further, this place has it all. Oh and did it mention that they have 24 hour access? well they do and they can help you get it set up and everything
Great place to lift, lots of iron, good bars, plenty of squat racks. If you are serious about lifting heavy iron, this is the place to be. Low price for membership and no commitment made it easy to try it out and Im glad I did. Ive been here for three months now and it was a good choice.the staff is knowledgeable and the crowd is great. Serious, respectful people who do their work and dont show off. Great environment! They are chalk-friendly and have bumper plates. They also put on regular form clinics on weekends.
This is the best lifting gym in South Austin. With only a $5 drop-in fee you should definitely give this place a try. The facility is fairly small but clean and stocked with everything you need to lift. The staff are very friendly. Unfortunately I had to drop my monthly membership but the cancellation process was extremely easy. A simple email request and my membership was cancelled within the hour. No hassle at all. Five-star customer service!
TLDR: Iron vault is a weightlifting gym with new equipment and excellent management.There are so many pros, I’m just going to list them out: easy sign-up, fair price, 24 hour access, helpful and friendly staff, roomy with plenty of weights to go around, not overcrowded, and painless cancellation.The only reason I’m not still a member is that I live north/central and there’s a gym 2 blocks away.
This place is awesome! Super honest pay structure and everything you need to lift. 10/10 would recommend.
Great staff. Like the atmosphere. For people that want to simply lift heavy, do their business, see results, and get on with their day.
FeV is a clean, comfortable atmosphere place to lift. Good for lifters of all levels - I’ve been going the past 3-4 months and have absolutely loved my experience. Friendly staff that are willing to help if needed. I’d highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for a great local gym!
Want to say thanks so much for making a great gym. It was just the right atmosphere to get me back into the groove. Im about 15 lbs lighter and making better choices, much thanks to re-establishing a gym habit at your gym.
Honestly dont think you can find a better gym. Brand new equipment, great atmosphere, awesome staff and straightforward price. So happy I found this place, by far the best gym in the downtown area.
Great gym, mostly free weights and a few machines. The staff is super friendly and offer advice/workouts or help in spotting. Equipment is new and facilities are kept clean. They have hassle free membership/no contract or $5 day passes.
Old school gym. All the iron, bars, racks, and benches you need. More dumbbells than you can lift. No TV s. Members and staff understand gum etiquette. If you want cardio, go outside.
Iron Vault has been absolutely wonderful! The facility is always clean and up to date. The staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend working out here!
Awesome facility locally owned so its my new home for sure
This is a new gym and is located in a good part of Austin. There’s man gyms in Austin, but this t I highly recommend. Great atmosphere, helpful staff, all the right equipment for any work out you are doing . Stop in and try it out . Amazing deals and guest pass
Im a novice gym goer and this place is great. I was looking for a place focusing on more barbells than machines and Iron Vault is awesome! I feel safe lifting with their equipment.
What a great gym with nice people!
Awesome equipment.
Good power lifting gym. Devoted mainly to squats and deadlift. No frills. No real cardio equipment to speak of. Drop in price is only $5 and the first session is free. You should check it out if youre curious.
What a breath of fresh air from the traditional globo gyms! Every single piece of equipment is new and top notch. No expense was spared in outfitting this place - which clearly shows a great amount of pride in the business they have built.The vibe is SUPER chill. As a lady lifter I was a little skeptical about the douche-bagery I might encounter. Ive been multiple times now and much to my chagrin everyone is pleasant, focused and the douchery non-existent. Dont hesitate to check this place out!
This gym has the perfect equipment and atmosphere to achieve fitness goals. Everything has an underlying tone of doing it for the right reason here.
I love FeV. there are so many racks and so many plates. the staff is exceptional. its the best gym in south central austin for lifting.
Love that the day fee is affordable and no harrassment or phone calls to get you to join. This gym is great and me and my friends love lifting there.
Great layout, attentive staff, 24/7 access for members.
Great gym in a very convenient location. I would recommend this gym to anyone.
Excellent new equipment, great layout & setup, friendly staff, very clean, well air conditioned, and great value.
If you like supporting small businesses, veterans, and a real gym then go here.
Phenomenal place to workout at I encourage everyone in the Austin area to check it out
