I tried this gym out as an additional option for a place to train. Since beginning to workout here 8 months ago there have been many improvements. Some newer equipment has replaced some of the older stuff. The layout has been improved. More cardio equipment has been purchased. They have increased the cleaning frequency.Overall it’s a really good gym. Lots offered for every style of training. The owner and the general manager seem to really care about their members. I’m glad I gave this place a go 💪🏼

This gym is the dream gym (for those who wanna get big). Has all the powerlifting/bodybuilding necessities. Atmosphere motivates me to lift heavier. if you expect a treadmill go to planet fitness. Only thing I’d want for this gym are dip belts but other than that my favorite gym so far

So It’s been a while so I went to get a guest pass because I have been to this gym in about a year. And when I tell you I hate how the new gym is. You would think it’s more space, but it’s not. Also the guest pass fee has went from 10 to 15 and I don’t understand why when they don’t even have more space. Everything is cluttered. Also when I got my guest pass, the brunette haired lady seems to have the worst attitude for no reason. I’ve seen her there before the location change but her attitude needs to be checked. I hope she’s not a manger or something because that lets me know that the gym isn’t cared for as much if the person greeting you when you first walk in has terrible customer service. Do better.

Its alright i think its positive for the community and the prices seem fair if your into boxing and want to go to the gym

If you are serious about weight training and fitness this gym is like NO OTHER. Full boxing ring, speed bags, heavy bags, ropes, many squat racks and killer weight machines. This gym is for men... not boys. If you want to run on a treadmill, go to Planet Fatness.

I like this gym. It has space a lot of equipment. However, there are a lot of issue with people NOT re-racking their weights. I wouldn’t mind moving them if I could lift the heavy plates. :c

Its a lowkey very adequate gym, a little pricey, however very worth the money for strength training

Love the old school gym atmosphere

Good vibe here. Something about this gym that makes you want to grow! Get that last rep, do 1 more set, make progress! Ive only visited twice and Im switching gyms to come here.

Great gym! Its a comfortable, yet motivating atmosphere. One of those places where you can go without the fear of judgment. No one stares at you. People just mind their own business and listen to the loud music playing. More importantly, these folks are an asset to our community. Theyre making changes to better our community. You wouldnt believe all the work and effort they put in to keeping kids off the streets, feeding and clothing the homeless, supporting local families. They are involved in the community. Their hearts are in the community...and they ask for nothing in return, not even acknowledgment. If you want to go to a real gym and know that your membership fees (very reasonable, by the way) are going toward a good cause instead of lining the pockets of the owners, check out The Beast Sports Center. See what theyre all about. You wont be disappointed.

The owner Stephanie is a genuine person. My boxing coaches Nick and Tim are very knowledgeable and will motivate you to be the best. They are also humble and will put in the work with you. Whether you just want to get in shape to improve your self-esteem or compete at any athletic sport, you should definitely consider checking this place out!

Love this gym and atmosphere!

Best gym I been.

Love this place so much!!! Great people, lots of equipment, and great trainers

This gym has entirely too much drama within it.

We need more gyms like this one around. Great gym!

Best gym in the world. Everyone there is so nice. Best gym if you want to train hard or just want to look better. Could not recommend this place enough.

Great gym! We’ve partnered with them on many occasions to bring great content for their audience to bring more exposure to the facility! Great dynamics of a gym! Everyone should be there to get great results!

By far the best and most hardcore gym in Gainesville and surrounding area. But dont be intimidated, great people and lots of experience. This is the place I lost over 100lbs at and changed my entire life. Not just my personal but business as well. This is therapy for me! Thank you Beast Sports Center!

The equipment is old and most of the time it doesn’t work.

I’ve been going to this gym for more than 5 years! Old school atmosphere definitely helps the gym stand out! With all the trainers, coaches, classes, and people, it’s hard to leave a gym with that much. Just about every other gym in the area charges crazy membership rates for nothing!

Great place to train or work on just you getting stronger. Olympic train or MMA or weight lift in every wayThe staff are pleasant and respectful and helpful. I am a woman and I go to make myself stronger and form up a bit. Thank you Iron Beast gym.

Everything you could need 1 stop shop!

This is the best gym around! I’ve been training here for a little over 5 years and honestly it doesn’t compare to other gyms! You can get all kinds of training here, CrossFit, boxing, powerlifting, or just your everyday exercising needs. Great atmosphere overall to workout!

I love the the amount of free weights at the Beast. The Bags for boxing and kick boxing are great too. The owner is super kind and really wants the best for all who use the Gym.

Place was cool. Love their gym rules banner! Not too many gyms that believe in those gym rules anymore. I wish it was closer. We got a few unwelcoming looks by some ppl that occupy the gym but the front desk area people were cool. Would definently return when Im in Athens again

Awesome gym. Its a real gym to lift in, not some LA fitness crap where people come hang out and try to pick up girls/ guys. In fourteen years of lifting this is the best public gym Ive been to hands down. Highly recommend.

Membership has doubled since I started and every few months they tell me I didn’t pay and want to charge me extra (I’m on auto pay) bathrooms and gym smell worse than a gas station bathroom.

This is a wonderful place to train and get fit the staff here are excellent and very supportive. they are always pushing me to do better than I did before.very swell place.

The owner is always willing to help out. great staff and its a gym with a lot wrestling mats and a mma cage. Stephanie helps out my girls wrestling club. I love the staff and most of the people working out there.

I’m new to the gym and so far I’ve had nothing but great experiences! I love the bootcamp classes they are really motivating and push you but I also like that I have 24/7 access to workout when I can’t make it to a class.

I expected more from a gym that’s been around since the birth of Jesus. Dirty equipment, dirty bathrooms and racists people, almost thought I was at Coachella. Thought we were living in the future with better values but it turns out if your muscles are bigger(or have better steroids) you have the right to do whatever you like.

Ive been at this gym for over a year and I love it. The people here are warm and welcoming and will help push you to reach your goals no matter what they are. 10/10 would recommend.

Best gym in the area hands down. wont find another one like this in a 50 mile radius. got everything you need for powerlifting, bodybuilding, or just general fitness. also prices are great and they have a good staff of people

If you are looking for an overpriced gym with old and dirty equipment, this is the gym for you! Not only does this fabulous establishment offer less than optimal equipment, but its staff always seem to forget they are on shift, lack in training, and above all have attitude problems. Ive had multiple incidents with the staff. One even accused me of not paying my membership! To prove my payment I had to show my cards billing history, and the wonderful lady did not even apologize! Completely inexcusable and unacceptable! Worst gym experience i have ever had.

Massive Fan, old school gym, geared towards pushing it, no matter what level you are at, its accommodating towards all types of training, and im super thankful to have it. Put it this way, I WANTED to take the time to go on here and write this review for them. Steph the owner is great.

Nice people here.. very spacious

Best hardcore gym in town

The equipment and the staff are nice although the folks here are more racist than Arkansas on a sunny 4th of July day. Not to mention the money hungry owners who rip off minors instead of making sure their clients would prefer a porta potty over their restrooms. That’s all I’m saying thou

Best place in town definitely

A proper meathead gym. Loads of free weights, racks, and benches. Not much cardio. No yoga. No frills, but awesome if youre looking to pump some proper iron. Old school.

This is a great gym. There isnt another gym around that offers what IBB does. This gym isnt about the fans and frills, but they are about being healthy, getting better, and results. The equipment isnt new, but its good, and theres more than enough. There is something for everyone here. They have a boxing ring, free weights, Smith machines, free workout areas, a massage room, etc. The cardio deck is small with only a couple of machines, and the restrooms could use some work, but the cool thing is they are always improving the gym, even the restrooms. The memberships are EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE. They are really under charging for memberships, and you dont have a contract. If you want to just hang out in a clean gym, this isnt the place for you. If any of the qualities I mentioned above are, then come join the best gym Ive ever been in.

Got kicked out for cancelling my membership and asking for a refund. Terrible service and super disrespectful staff up front. Not to mention numerous racist comments that have been ignored on the Facebook page. Would not recommend this place. 4 weeks and still no refund after numerous calls and emails. Very upset and disappointed.

Extremely helpful staff with great experience. The atmosphere was amped and got me going and the assortment of machines and racks was huge!

Iron beast gym has the best variety of free weights and machines. It is a mashup of a powerlifting, strongman, bodybuilding, crossfit, and MMA gym all in one. Youre free to be who you are. Male, female, fit or not, beginner or seasoned vet, everyone is welcome. Real gyms are in warehouses.

Best Hardcore Gym in town! Only place worth training in North Georgia if you are a true athlete.

I go here on the weekdays and staff here are super nice..

Best gym in Northern Georgia to get a good workout.

Awesome as it can get for a real primal training session

Old school gym, great environment, friendly staff and knowledge trainers. What else could you ask for??

Great space for women to train!

The people working out are nice but they charge you $100 for three months for $100 I could get a 6 month supply of Herbalife and stay home, the owner is the devil, and the restroom are filthy

Terrible staff, terrible gym...etcI highly recommend ANY other gym. Seriously.

Great place to work out

Everything you could ask for in an Old School gym!

Good facility just prices are a little high

Good old school gym

Would not recommend

Great enviroment

Awsome place

Best gym in town!!!

Strongest gym

Very good place to exercise and nice
