I’ve currently been a member at this gym since December of 2020 so roughly 9 months. This gym is perfect for people who love the classic old school style gym. If you’re a newbie, the atmosphere may be a little intimidating, but I assure you that everyone there has a great attitude and are always willing to help. During the busy hours it can get a little crowded, but I never have to wait long for equipment to open up and some members even ask if you want to work in with them! Overall great gym, great atmosphere, and great equipment.

I moved away and have been searching for a new gym. Through my searching I realized how great of a gym Ozark Iron is. The price point can’t be beat. I also loved the vibe and community I witnessed. I felt like people literally went to ozark to hangout with their friends and get big- it was awesome to see. I’m just an average guy who likes to stay in decent shape but this gym will cater to those who are more serious. Power lifting, body building, casual weight lifting, Functional fitness, this is the place you need to go. The owner invests in his members, but do everyone a favor and learn how to properly use the equipment. I got stronger here and you will too.

Lots of barbell equipment and space to deadlift, which is must for me. In previous gyms Ive had to wait on the one squat rack. The presence of the gigaChads working on their PRs is very motivating (read: I finish my workout as fast as I can before anyone notices how scrawny I am lol). The gym also plays good music over the speakers, so if I forget my headphones Im not stuck trying to max out my deadlift to Billy Joel! Theres no AC, but something tells me this is a feature, not a bug. I give this gym a 10, which is also my one-rep max for the bench press.

Not only a great place to gain mass but the staff is awesome. I forgot to change out of my dress shirt due to my absolute obsession with becoming the sultan of swole. Instead of turning me away due to some dress code *cough PF cough* they gave me a free shirt. As soon as I put in on my triceps grew three sizes and I was instantly injected with 3 scoops of whey protein and pre work out. If you wanna become the Gilgamesh of Gains try this gym on for size.

It is an awesome gym overall. Love the environment, amazing machines. There are always improvements when it comes to machines. Only cons would be that only one treadmill kind of works (finicky) and Theres no heater or air conditioning (which in the summer it can get really hot in the gym). They have fans in the summer. Around the cold season I have to bring layers to stay warm and this can sometimes be demotivating but aside from that, this gym is great and will continue being a member!! I really hope they can get a better treadmill though

Hands down the best in Fayetteville to train! People are nice and friendly and come from all walks of life. Will is a kickass dude and will do what he can to make your experience here a good one. Lots of strong dudes and dudettes training in this gym. Go check it out now!

Best gym in NWA, open about fees and multiple options if you dont want to commit to a year

Amazing gym I love the community here.

Great gym! Fair mix of bodybuilding, powerlifting, and Strongman equipment with the lions share being Legend Fitness equipment.

Awesome, newly dx type 1 diabetic, plenty of room to take a break if needed !

The owner, Will has created an awesome atmosphere. Great gym! Equipment is always clean and well kept. Probably not a place for everyone but if you take your training seriously and want to surround yourself around some strong lifters you love it. Lots of specially equipment for powerlifting, strongman, Condo. Will miss this place.

When you see classic pw our bb photos of those repurposed former commercial spaces where you imagine 90s rock playing while men scream and throw weights after sets, this is it. Its classic golds.

I honestly dont know how other gyms in the area can afford to stay open with this place being here. There is truly a family of folks in there and Will (the owner) treats everyone that walks through the door with the utmost respect. You wont find another gym anywhere like it. Ive been to a few gyms in the last ten years and this is easily the best one Ive ever been part of.

The best lifting atmosphere of any gym. Friendly faces and alot of knowledgeable guys and gals. Definitely the place to be to get in shape

Great place to workout!!

Excellent gym. Everyone is welcome, but be ready... Its at the more serious end of the spectrum. Owner is an awesome guy, and great to interact with. Highly recommend this gym as part of your fitness journey.

Awesome gym. Newer, first rate equipment, plenty of space and great price.

I recently moved to Denver, CO and realized I had never written a review for this awesome gym. I wish there was one just like it here!Seriously the best gym in the entire state of Arkansas. You wont find a more committed owner who puts your money to good use. New equipment is consistently added and maintained. Staff is on top of the cleanliness of the gym. The members here are extremely supportive and create a motivating environment. My only regret is that I cant give more than 5 stars.

Real weights, real people. Equipment is all nice and well taken care of. Staff is great and helpful. Other members are encouraging and helpful as well. Also, you’re allowed to add songs to be blasted over concert speakers. I’m not sure about you, but being able to turn on whatever song you want and have it blasted, beats headphones any day of the week.

Hello Ozark I’m from NC, Wilkesboro here for Tyson Foods orientation week. This gym was very welcoming and kinda had that local home gym feeling great weights and very clean! & Great music choices!

I had previously given this gym a bad review on account of the fact that my membership was terminated by an employee because I had left weights out on more than one occasion; having grown up in a private gym, this was a habit which I had formed, and I did it unconsciously. I would have corrected the habit if I had been made aware of my actions on more than one occasion -- of course, being unconscious of doing something means that one does not know when he is doing it. This is why it would have been nice if it had been brought to my attention more than once.I still think the termination was unjustified for the following reasons: [i] I was only approached about it once; [ii] I was given no warning leading into the termination; [iii] if either (i) had occurred again, or if (ii) had occurred at all, I would have been inclined to correct the habit. Instead, a particular employee used every violation in order to accumulate evidence against me (taking pictures, etc.), which he used to justify the termination. I do not know if the evidence was authentic (because, as I said, if I left weights again, I did so habitually and unconsciously). So, I think that the gym would benefit from a warning system. After a member violates one of Ozark Iron Gyms three rules, they receive a penalty (maybe more than one for the third rule); after a set number of penalties, their subscription is terminated. Otherwise, the choice is the whim of an employee such as the one who terminated my own subscription.Notwithstanding, after exchanging emails with the owner of the gym, I do not think he made the decision, or else was convinced by the employee who gathered the evidence. Seeing as the employee is likely only working here temporarily, and is the only person responsible for the premature termination, I will leave him out of account. I would rather support a classical style gym (as rare as they are) that allow an expendable employee to shed a negative light upon it.The subtracted star is for the lack of a proper warning system. If I ever find out that one has been added, I will edit the review for a 5-star.

Was in town for work and dropped in on my way to go hiking. Unreal atmosphere here. Super positive, people smashing PRs and having a good time. Plus only a 5$ drop in! Wish every gym was like this.

Ok so, when it comes to gyms this is what I want! The atmosphere and the equipment is high level and admirable compared to other gyms I’ve been too. It’s hard to find gyms like these and it is something this town truly appreciates. Thank you so much Ozark Iron!

Love love love this gym me and my gf have been going here for about a month. From day one everyone was super welcoming! We are probably the smallest people in there lol but I love the atmosphere everyone is getting at it, the music is a plus as well! This gym has literally everything you need! Name a better gym in Fayetteville you can’t ha! :)

I’ve been going here for awhile, this gym will for sure help me become a world class powerlifter with the environment that I am working out in. I have been to many gyms but there are few that I actually feel like I belong to. Best gym in the Fayetteville area 100%

Amazing place, great staff, tons of powerlifing equipment

Decided I would wait a couple months before I gave this gym a review. In the FAYETTEVILLE area most gyms want to sign you to long term contracts. This is the only gym that gave me a fair month to month price, which I needed because I am not from the area and am not sure how long I will be here. Its nice, the staff is nice and the equipment is even nicer. Everything you really need for a good powerlifting workout is here and there are always nice gym goers and staff that will spot you or answer questions if you have any. Also at certain parts of the day there are awesomely strong people that will let you hop in on a set with them and even give you advice on improving. Was pleasantly surprised. Overall great gym and good atmosphere for lifting and exercising.

Supportive community atmosphere with good prices and good equipment.

Youre missing out if you go to any other gym in NWA. Extremely nice layout with plenty of equipment/benches/racks for everyone. Ive been going religiously for two years now and I can say Will created something special here for sure. Might look intimidating from the outside but I promise everyone is extremely friendly and willing to give advice.

Probably the coolest gym in that area. Not that packed, great new equipment, owner is pretty much the nicest guy ever, and the place is SUPER clean. If you are a real lifter you will definitely go here. Its not as large, but its got everything you need for a solid workout.

Ive only been going here for the past 3 weeks and I already consider it the best gym Ive ever been to. Will who is the owner is a super chill dude, you can tell by just having a conversation with him that he cares about giving people a great place to lift and get in shape as opposed to just filling his pockets with cash.The gym is great and theres the right amount of equipment to do what you need to do, plenty of press stations, squat racks, dumbbells, etc. And hes adding more soon. All in all, I give it 5 stars without hesitation, cant thank Will enough for providing such a great atmosphere to workout in!

Love this gym, its full of serious lifters I never have to wait to use equipment because theres plenty of benches and machines for everyone. Once people are done with their sets they move on so the next person can use the equipment. Also very knowledgeable athletes in there that help with the gym to host lifting competitions for the gym. Brand new equipment, the gym is kept clean and friendly staff.

Nice gym, great atmosphere!

Good weightlifting gym. No gerbil machines or immodestly dressed women, although one guy had his shirt off. Seriously, dude you can still do cable crossovers with a tank top. Needs a second set of dumbbells. Plenty of benches

Its a good size Gym, even when busy It doesnt feel crowded. It has up to date equipment and is a gym that allows for REAL progress.💪😁👍

Yall... Ozark Iron Gym is legit. When you walk in it looks and feel like a meat head gym, but then you see the Power Hour class that is a mix of weights and cardio full of young women; many of whom are on the dance team at the U of A. And get this: none of the men were oogling them. The guys were all super focused on their workouts, and paying no attention to the beautiful women in yoga pants. It has an incredibly friendly and inviting atmosphere. Theyve got great trainers, and all of the equipment you could ever hope for.

Top notch gym! Great place to workout at. Lots of knowledgeable people, the staff are always pleasant, and more than willing to spot you.

I recently had to move to Dallas and wish I couldve taken this place with me. You wont find a better powerlifting-friendly gym and better atmosphere with the best quality equipment in NWA. The owner, Will, knows how to run the place and always keeps everything in top shape. Him and the other staff always take care of everyone and are very friendly. Before walking in this place I didnt know how to lift properly or know what a proper gym should be. Now I find myself judging every other gym here in Dallas using Ozark as a standard. Join this place and change your life and your expectations!

Its like a university strength & conditioning facility. Brand new equipment, very clean! Stop looking around and just go there.

Great facility, members share a mutual respect for each other not found anywhere else. Theres something for everyone here.

Obviously my opinion is bias because I own this gym. I put my heart and soul in this place and it shows. Come be a part of something more than just another fitness center.

My wife and I have been to multiple gyms in NWA and none have felt like home until we got to Ozark Iron. Everybody here is serious about training and it all starts with the owner. He listens to what people say about equipment and he actually puts money back into the gym in the form of new equipment and bars. Couldnt be happier. Ozark Irons worst bar is still better than most gyms best bar.

Huge equipment selection and great feel/environment.

Its usually hot in there, no locker room. But its good place to workout if you are a powerlifter or weightlifter.

This gym is the best place to get a real workout in. Great equipment! You could not find a better owner! This is the gym that you want to go too!

The best gym for powerlifting in northwest Arkansas. Its not too busy during the day either

Come here if you want to lift! Locally owned, none of that chain bs, friendly owner. Just opened, new equipment made in America! Good value! Only place like it in NWA.

The best gym in Fayetteville. Period...

The best to get serious about fitness. Awesome atmosphere, old school mindset of strength training, & a fantastic staff.

Theres a few machines that I like and thats about it. Good place for power lifters

Best gym in Fayetteville.

Knowledgeable owner, Im a personal trainer and a crossfit coach, went in to talk with him, and this gym is legit.

This gym is easily the best around Fayetteville. In my 4 years in NWA, I used the HPER at the University, Powerhouse before it went under, Fitness 4 Less, and Worlds Gym, but Ozark Iron Gym was hands-down the best experience I have ever had at a gym.To start, Will, the owner, is an extremely friendly guy and cares about creating an amazing atmosphere for his members; he can often be found at the gym and is easy to approach and converse with. The equipment in this gym is in excellent condition. Moreover, no matter what type of program you are on, Ozark Iron Gym has the equipment. Plenty of squat and bench racks, two platforms for deadlifts or clean and jerks, farmers and yoke carry equipment, and Atlas Stones.Finally, the monthly membership dues are top notch for the value. I recently moved out of state and, to join an equivalent gym, I need to pay double or more. So, whether you are looking for your very first gym or you are considering switching, I highly encourage you to swing by and take a look around. You wont regret it.

Great old school gym. Nothing but free weights!
