Great equipment, super clean, locker rooms and showers were great and nice atmosphere over all.I highly recommend.

A true place to all around better yourself. Great community and vibe here. Everyone wants you to win. Definitely check it out

Good environment but the rest is subpar. have tried to reach the owner about some issues multiple times but receive no response. Other than that its a decent gym, although it is small

Having been a member of pretty much every gym in the greater-Indy area I can say, without a doubt, that Zach has truly created something special at IVB. Unlike typical gyms, IVB surges with positive/encouraging vibes and has a true sense of community. Very much like your own health and wellness, what you get out of IVB is what you put into it!

I started coming here recently, and I am blown away at the community atmosphere and positivity that I see here. This isnt an ordinary gym, its something special.

This place has a great environment. You walk in, and you feel like its time to get stronger. You talk to the owner Zach about his vision for the place, train with the people there, jump to a lifting session. Ive never seen a place quite like it. I 100% recommend it to anyone. Whether youre looking for a new gym, need some top of the line training, or are just tired of going it alone in your fitness journey this is the place for you.

I have belonged to gyms in multiple areas of the country and even overseas. There is not a better gym than IVB. Everyone in that place wants to see you win from the owner to the trainers to the everyday members. If you are in Indiana, this is THE gym

This is an amazing gym with every piece of equipment any person could need. Logs, chains, stones, heavy dumbbells. But what makes the place special is the atmosphere. The entire gym stops for PR attempts and nearly every workout can turn into a personal training session at any time with Zach and his crew. The members can help all levels of lifters with form and are very welcoming to new faces.

Best power lifting gym in Indianapolis.

Have not been to the gym yet but I have been consuming Zach’s content and observing what’s going on in Iron Valley Barbell for a couple years now. He has created an environment at the gym that that will benefit anyone who wants to better themselves physically or mentally. On top of the gym atmosphere, Zach is a real master at his craft of weight lifting. Through his knowledge and experience he is able to improve the strength of newcomers as well as seasoned lifters. If you’re anywhere near the gym I would give it a shot and if you have any form of social media I would give Zach and his gym a follow.

Incredible place to be. The gym has so much support and love towards the positive growth of every single person that walks through the door. Everyone there is incredibly knowledgeable and will do their best to help you reach your goals!

One of the Mecca’s of strength sports. Zach is one of the most knowledgeable coaches in strength sports and his gym show cases this having many different tools to assist strongman and powerlifting/bodybuilding training alike. There’s not a single person in this building who does not want to see you reach your goals. The atmosphere/equipment and the location make it a 5/5.

Iron valley barbell is the best strength gym in Indiana. The atmosphere is amazing. In the instruction is next level. You won’t find a gym with as helpful and knowledge Members anywhere else in the area. This Jim is on the level of mash elite when I trained out there.

First and foremost Zach is a good dude and genuinely cares about people’s health. I have hit him up multiple times for different types of information and he is always willing to go above and beyond. In addition, he continuously improves himself on not only a physical basis but a mental one as well. He challenges himself on levels that are extremely difficult which is an attribute to his lead by example mentality. If you want to get better, this is the guy who will help you do it.

I travel thousands of miles to visit Iron Valley Barbell. Id give it 10 stars if I could

Haven’t been able to make the trip out to Indy yet, but it’s coming soon. The men out at Iron Valley Barbell have served as some of the biggest inspirations in my life and helped me to perform better in the gym. The knowledge they put out, FOR FREE, has aided me immensely and I appreciate what they do more than they know.

Never visited but dealt with Zach via twitter helping my HS power lifters. Great help at no cost! Would love to visit someday, seems like a great place to lift and learn.

Anytime I go in there you feel like you’re in a family atmosphere. I’ve gone to a couple seminars Zach’s run also and the amount of knowledge and insight you receive is incredible. This is place to be if you wanna get and be better. As a lifter of any kind and as a person in general

Zach & his team are truly one of a kind. I am from jersey & not only does Zach & the IVB crew have top notch customer service but their knowledge, patience & committed attitude to the iron game & as well as life outside the gym are the reason why I look forward to coming out to Indiana every year. They made me believe in myself & also believed in the crazy ideas I’ve always had. love this place & love the people inside more !!

Awesome gym, drove 3 hours to make it there a few years ago and had a great experience. Everyone was super friendly and inviting as soon as you walk in the door. Great equipment as well! Looking forward to another trip very soon!

Incredible gym ran by an incredible guy. Owner cares about each person that comes in and will do everything that he can to make you not only physically stronger, but also mentally stronger and just a better person overall. Best gym around. Must visit.

One of the best environments for a gym I have witnessed. All about getting better together, and the staff knows what there talking about when it comes to fitness. You will achieve the results you’re looking for at iron valley barbell! Culture is top notch.

Haven’t made it to the gym yet, but Zach’s optimistic attitude and outlook on life positively impacts me everyday inside and outside of the gym! Along with a great attitude, he has more knowledge in the lifting space than anyone I’ve came across. Would highly recommend everyone check him out!

If you are just now starting to dabble into the fitness community or even if you have been doing it your whole life, this is a place where you want to look into. The owner knows a thing or two and is always willing to help you grow in and outside of the gym. Feels like a second home because everyone in there is passionate, friendly, and willing to help you when you need it. 1love Win. The. Day.

Awesome group of people! Very welcoming environment as well. It does matter if it’s your first time lifting weights or you’ve been doing it for years. They treat everyone the same. #1Love

Provides amazing advice on Twitter. I’ve been following @ZachHomol for a while now and he’s a great source of fitness advice and motivation. Highly recommend you check him out. I only wish I lived close by to the gym so i could check out the gym and learn from Zach in person!

Zach and the team at Iron Valley Barbell do an amazing job of motivating and training people both in and out of the gym. I have not been to the gym itself, but have been following their content on social media for some time now and can honestly say that they have helped me in my fitness endeavors. This is particularly true because of all of the content Zach provides showing different positionings and giving helpful cues for different lifts. Great guys, great content.

First time reviewer long time member here. If you want to become the greatest version of yourself... do yourself a favor and train at IVB. From the motivating staff to the top notch equipment you will recognize gains at a pace you havent seen before. Keep calm and lift on.

I was at the first power lifting meet held here. The atmosphere was so motivating and and everyone was so supportive of eachother. Zach is a daily motivator of mine and shares positive lifestyle advice and tips everyday that helps me get the best out of myself. Would highly recommend.

While I haven’t been to the gym yet, I had the pleasure of working with Zach as my one on one online coach a few years back when I was just getting into Powerlifting which I’ll openly say is one of the best decisions I ever made and have been following the progress of the gym via social media ever since. The knowledge and content he continues to provide has helped me become a much better lifter/person and as a personal trainer myself I have been able to better serve my clients as a result.Overall, Zach and everyone at Iron valley Barbell are a unique and positive influence in the Fitness industry that I highly recommend to anyone looking to start their fitness journey!

Zach and his crew at Iron Valley Barbell are legit. I’ve purchased one of their training splits and it was great, incorporated lifts i didn’t normally do. IVB social media presence is great too. They are always posting great free content and tips from Zach himself (he’s jacked).

Iron Valley Barbell is a gym with excellent staff and knowledge. No matter what fitness level you are, Iron Valley Barbell will welcome you and help you on your journey. Excellent social media influence including helpful tips for lifting and daily motivation!

If you are in need of an environment that produces physical and mental growth, Iron Valley Barbell is the place to be. The facility itself is an amazing environment to lift in and the community of lifters is like no other. Ive trained in many gyms in the area and Iron Valley is second to none.

Zack has been one of the biggest influences in my life for at least 7 years now since he was down in West Virginia with me. I’ve watched him overcome some of the hardest adversity and he always handles it with grace, making sure to share his experiences with those who look up to him so we know we can do it too. He shows the boys how to become men. I’ve lived my life in a way that would make those who look up to me very proud, and it beautiful to see someone else ahead of me who does the same and does it even better. Thanks for all you do zack, you’re a real King.

Thank you carnal, for showing me how to provide a better cue on activating lats in the deadlift! The squeezing lemons is my go to now when reaching or thinking lats. Even more so, when you went over the power of association that is highly underrated when it comes to training. I agree with you 100 percent, and have been around individuals who push me or see differently to learn and grow exponentially. I couldnt be more grateful for your content.

My first time at Iron Valley Barbell was whenever I traveled for a podcast with Zach. I had the opportunity of training there afterwards and it was an unforgettable experience. The love, positivity, and passion that each one of the members I met were unreal. Everyone is a person there and I personally found that beautiful.

Best gym in the area! The owner is the realest around, super knowledgeable and kind. He reaches out and checks on me from time to time and I’ve only been to the gym once, but he stays in contact which is something that no other gym owners have done for me in the past.Plan on making a trip out again soon!

Awesome place! Atmosphere is indescribable! Zach and staff are great people! If you haven’t been, take the opportunity to go.

I promise you won’t regret a moment learning from Zach! He’s spreads a great message of all walks of life everything from a personal point of view to training.

Zach, Jay and all the guys at IVB are amazing! Have helped me in and out of the gym! I’ve trained there twice and I can’t wait to go back. I learn so much from them!

Top notch dudes always willing to help. No matter what the goal is. Stronger, leaner, motivation, etc. probably would help mow the lawn if you asked nicely.

I have not made it to IVB yet but I have been watching and consuming Zach’s content for the last 2 years. He has something special brewing over there in Indy and is making this world a better place day by day. You can tell even without meeting the guy he truly cares about people and everyone who supports him!

Been to the gym one time and it was an unbelievable experience. The IVB is there to help each other and push each other new levels each and everyday. Working with Zach online has been awesome as well. He’s always checking in on you whether it be to check in on your program or just to see how your doing. Great friend!

Have not been to Iron Valley (goal of mine though) but I have used countless tips and ran many of Zach’s programs. With that being said, his contest is one of the best in the game and I have never been disappointed with anything he has released!

There is no other place like Iron Valley. This place has provided a second family for me from day one. I will forever be grateful for Zach and the IVB family!

I haven’t been able to make it out to the gym yet, but I benefit from the content that they put out daily. Through the emails, social media, and programs this group puts out, my knowledge of all things fitness and lifting related has greatly increased. They’ve got something special out there.

When i first came to the gym, it was on a planned trip from CA. It exceeded all expectations and was thankful for the hospitality from Zach and the team. Fast forward a yr and now im living here to learn as much as i can from the team, in the gym and all aspects of life.

Zach is awesome! Even when you arent at the gym he provides constant interaction through Social Media so you can listen to his tips and expertise at your convenience. Positive Energy place!!

Haven’t been to the gym as I am located in Denver Colorado but 5 stars for his online content. Zach and his team are always 100% real and put out legit content. He is a positive influencer to the fitness industry.

I love this gym! 24/7/365 hours of operation. The guys who run the place are very kind and want everyone to be successful, and not just in the gym, but in life, as well.

Very knowledgeable when it comes to fitness. Many experienced individuals with the same goal in mind, help us all out with love and knowledge for us to work on our fitness, lifting and conditioning.

I have not been to the gym personally but Zach and his whole staff always puts out great content on social media and through that alone I have gained so much knowledge and insight into lifting. 100% recommend this gym and hope to make it there myself some time soon

Haven’t been to the gym yet but making it a point to get there this summer. However, the information, content, and everything coming out on social has helped me tremendously in the gym and would highly recommend anyone to check iron valley out.

This place has not only changed my outlook on fitness, but life as a whole. Everyone here is eager to learn and teach. With their help, I had lost over 30 pounds in three months and hit PRs on all of my lifts. It is an incredibly welcoming and motivating atmosphere. Oh, & did I mention theres a dog?

I have only been to the gym once, but I have consumed ALOT of valuable information from the whole IVB Team across all forms of social media. It’s not your typical gym where the regulars look down on people who come to visit and aren’t a familiar face. When I was there Zach, Jay and Dylan all took time during the workout to stop and point out some things they felt would benefit me in terms of tweaking form. Very knowledgeable group and I can’t wait to make another trip back!

Zach is one of the strongest dudes i’ve ever met...but most importantly, he is a man who cares about humanity. Truly down to earth and cares about helping EVERYBODY! He is leaving a legacy that will be talked about for years to come. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to chat w/ him...and his advice and direction has helped me maximize my potential in the weight game! A true gentleman and my appreciation cannot be put into words. 👆🏼❤️ to the IVB community!

Zach was able to help put on some serious size to my frame. I used his programming for a total of 6x months and put on a solid 9 lbs of muscle during that time! Couldn’t have done it without his programming and nutrition!

Zach and the IVB Crew are absolutely incredible. You will love the energy, inspiration, and expertise he provides. World class!

Atmosphere like no other. What most would call “meatheads” here, just so happen to be some of the most supportive, knowledgeable, and caring individuals around. If you haven’t experienced IVB yet and you are passing through or local to Indy....GET THERE!

Zach and the other employees of IVB are committed to building a culture of winning, both in the gym and in life. They encourage members to be their best, whether in a lift or in a friendship. Consume every bit of content these guys put out!!!

The crew at Iron Valley are legit as they come! I’ve been loving the ebooks Zach has been putting out. I haven’t made the trip to Indy yet but real soon. I know for a fact I won’t be disappointed! WINTHEDAY!

Iron Valley Barbell has a friendly, welcoming environment plus loads of new equipment. I always get a great lift in when I’m there!

The owner will open any one with open arms and go out of his way to help you with anything. It doesn’t even need to be gym related. Highly recommend stopping in and meeting him and the rest of the IVB crew.

Crazy intense atmosphere with very knowledgeable trainers. They have everything I needed for my lifts and they people are fun to lift with. It also helps they have a lovable mascot to run with you

These guys have more knowledge about what they are talking about than any other place I have searched. I always get excited when I see a new Instagram photo or video because it can educate me well on what I can take to the weight room. The place always looks like it has a great atmosphere and I’m excited to see what the future holds for Zach and his crew!!!

Great gym, and even greater people! Dont be intimidated by the hardcore atmosphere of this strongman/powerlifting gym, the people there are the friendliest youll ever meet, and there are opportunities to learn every time you step through the door. As far as equipment goes, they have everything youll need to get strong...and then some. Check it out!

There is truly no gym like Iron Valley Barbell! The knowledge and motivation that is accessible is comparable to none other.

Very knowledgeable personnel. Great place for training your whole self— mental and physical

Zach has a genuine approach to fitness. He truly is happy for others success in fitness. I learned how to properly back squat from Zach’s website and that has saved me a lot of injury.

Great atmosphere for strength and powerlifting training. Day passes available when coming in from out of town.

This place is the best. Good energy all around.

Zach is an amazing coach and role model. Would 10/10 recommend him to any HS or College athlete looking to up his/her game!

Love this place, tons of knowledge, great people, awesome atmosphere! If youre in Indy I would HIGHLY recommend this place for a lift! Plus they have a great gym dog spike!

Mike Terzo introduces me to Zach’s gym. Iron Valley Barbell is a beast unto itself. You’re working out in a gigantic garage with all sorts of equipment. You’re going to learn techniques you’ve never learned before. Everyone is friends and helps everyone there. It’s a gem and a one of a kind.

Ive never been to the gym. However, the mission and values that Zach and his team create and push to their following is priceless. The amount of content I have used to expand my knowledge on weight lifting, I have gained all for free. Zach is constantly utilizing Instagram and Twitter to spread his knowledge, values, and beliefs. Visiting IVB is a must on my bucket list!

Not your conventional rec center or community center. Ironvalley is a place to get motivated by driven individuals who practice what they preach! Felt totally welcome as someone new to lifting and as a woman too, definitely not just a boys club. Be sure to give Spike some love while youre there, sweetest dog ever!

IVB is a great gym whether you are new to fitness or a competitive lifter. The atmosphere is encouraging and intense.

I would give this place 10 stars out of 5 if i could. This gym is what everyone says it is. There is so much knowledge within the 4 walls of this place that you would have to try HARD not to get better. If your in town for a couple of days and need a great place to train, this is it! Dont let the chance to be better slip by!

This gym is special. It not only has a great environment but everyone there wants everyone else to succeed and hit their goals. Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere, everyone wants you to get stronger here and will help you out if you need it! Ive personally set a lot of PRs here due to the encouragement and knowledge of the staff, would highly recommend if youre in the area to check them out!

No other place like it, anywhere. Unbelievable atmosphere and everyone there are just genuine people trying to better themselves and help others do the same.

Zach gives incredible guidance and motivation to achieve ones best self! Highly recommend!

Has some of the best coaches out there, they are extremely supportive and motivating. If anyone is ever in the Indianapolis area I highly suggest going to this gym.

Zach is an awesome guy, super straight forward, from what I’ve gathered, works hard in and out of the gym, has been a real helping and guiding hand in my life over the last few months!

Having researched Iron Valley Barbell on the web I see all the hallmarks of a high level facility. Most definitely will stop in if Im in the neighborhood.

Zach and Iron Valley Barbell crew bring an energetic, educated and anecdotal approach to strength and fitness that will thrive as more people of discover this wealth of resources.

Love the atmosphere at IVB. Zach and his staff are not only great people but awesome to work with and super knowledgeable. I usually work out at home but gave IVB a try from finding them on social media, definitely did not disappoint. Would recommend this gym to anyone. Looking forward to the Power Jams in a couple months. Can’t wait to see what all they achieve this year.

IVB is the place to be! The amount of authenticity, knowledge and value that Zach and his team provide cannot be beat! Weather it is online or in person, they help soooo many people!

The knowledge floating around social media via this place is insane. Great guys, great technique and platform to help reach other people.

Amazing people, amazing atmosphere, this gym is built to make you an overall better person- physically and mentally.

Zach is an inspiration for many and has so much knowledge about lifting. Haven’t been to the gym personally, but just from watching his YouTube and instagram videos I have learned so much from him

The best gym Ive ever seen, great environment great people you will get stronger. There is so much motivation here great place 10/10 would recommend.

This is the type of Gym you do not see everyday, between the welcoming atmosphere and the hard hard work being put in, this is the type of gym that made you want to train in the first place. Wish there were many more gyms like this across the US. 5/5!

Every trip to IVB is addicting, and the environment is always perfect for anyone from beginners to the best athletes...everyone is helping everyone!

Great atmosphere focused on growth, go here if you want to change your life.

This is the place you go to get better both in the gym and outside of it. You’ll work the hardest you ever have surrounded by people that somehow push you further.

What’s there to be said about Iron Valley Barbell.. it’s unlike anywhere else in the world. The energy in the gym is next level, there’s something special that goes on between those 4 walls. Any piece of equipment you need, be it strongman, bodybuilding or Powerlifting, you’ll find it there. Beyond the equipment though, is the incredible people at Iron Valley. I started following Zach on Instagram in late 2015, and it’s safe to say my life took a turn for the better. The knowledge and content he provides is second to none, and he never asks for a penny in return. He genuinely cares about every single individual he interacts with, and let me say, that’s rare to find in someone. When I was finally able to make my trip to IVB this year, he welcomed me with open arms like I was a lifelong friend.Iron Valley is something special. And I can say, with no doubt, you’re not going to find a better Gym & Crew in the Midwest, let alone the States.

IVB should have a location in every city, so I could be a member. Knowledgeable, fun, positive environment, clearly evident even when engaged with through the miracle of the internet.If you want to elevate your training look no further.

I love this gym. The environment and people there are the best.

The programs Zach makes are both great and easy to follow. After following powershredz, powergainz, and BSL I’m up from 135 lbs to 185 lbs on body weight. All my lifts have at least doubled, and I’m much more confident and overall happier ! He’s a motivator on all forms of social media and is always helping his followers, so easily 5/5.
