I like the fact that Iron Forged does not feel like a meat market; everyone seems to be there for a common purpose, to be healthy, fit, and strong.Best gym I have ever been to.

Iron Forged is what you call a judge free zone. They offer their expertise, and they strive to make you a better version of yourself. I LOVE that it is barely ever packed. They have great equipment, but i wish they had more. Overall, i definitely recommend this gym. One of the best ive ever been too!

Iron forged fitness is an amazing gym. I’ve never enjoyed going to the other gyms, but I can honestly say now I do. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. The environment is fun and the work outs (the classes) make you feel amazing afterward. I’ve been a member for about six weeks and I have lost 12 inches and look forward to seeing what I can do with another six weeks with the help of the trainers. Join now, you won’t regret it:)

New to the Jacksonville area and was looking for a gym. So glad I settled on Iron Forge. They have quickly become family. Staff remembers your name and greet you when you come in. workouts are tough but satisfying. I meet one on one with a trainer, Clara, once a week. Clara is the best! She is sassy, fun, and challenging.

Iron Forged Fitness is where you want to be if you want to succeed in your fitness goals! I have never met a more knowledgeable and friendly staff. The facility is clean and has great equipment.My trainer, D’Artagnan, is the BEST in Jacksonville. I have had trainers put me on program that are not really meant for someone with my physiological body differences, and I have ALWAYS failed at those programs. Coach D works with my natural body mechanics and gives me adaptations vs limitations. He is patient with me and can read me enough to know when it’s time to call it quits for the day.My children train with Coach Tim, and he is such a good role model for anyone to look up to! Coach Tim works to tailor the workout to my boys to gain the results we’re looking for.Coaches Kristine, Clara, and Hope are always on hand to answer questions and to motivate you!Jennifer works hard to keep everyone on track with their nutritional goals. I know I can pop in any time to get advise or just to chat.Iron Forged Fitness has something for EVERYONE! Come by and join our gym family!

I’ve been coming to Iron Forged for almost two years now, and I still absolutely love it! Staff is always extremely helpful and friendly, the other members are all friendly and helpful offering advice on all aspects of weight training. Equipment is all in amazing shape or brand new and the gym is upheld highly in the eyes of prominent lifters in the industry as well. The only gym I recommend in the area for weight training.

I scheduled an appointment to get my 7-day free trial and when I showed up for the appointment there were three girls standing around the desk area. I was held at the front desk for over 5 minutes while they tried to find who made the appointment. Poor communication for sure so I just left. If they cant get their act together its definitely not a gym I want to belong to. I just had a reply from the business owner and what he said was a lie I did not storm off rudely I said on my way out the door thats okay see you his second lie was when he said I was a no-show five times I never did that I had to call and reschedule multiple times due to the fact that I had family coming in and emergency doctors appointment. This owner is rude as you read his replies to others and I am so happy that I did not give them the opportunity to show me around as I would never want to be a part of this organization. If you note anybody that has a bad review he bad mouth them in return which is a poor way of doing business. Thankfully I was smart enough to turn myself around and head out the door. Those that stay with this gym may God keep you safe.

Today marks 1 month since I joined the IFF tribe. I want to give a shout out to two amazing trainers. 1st of all my personal trainer Kristine, who has kept me accountable and constant with eating right and drinking enough water. Thanks to her Im pushing past my comfort zone and truly feel myself getting stronger both physically and mentally. Then theres Trainer Hope. She leads the group workouts.Her morning classes are a great way to start the day.Since Ive joined there has not been one workout that hasnt left me sweaty but accomplished. The other members in the class are all super nice and encouraging. I highly recommend anyone looking to change their life for the better, to join the tribe as well! Maybe Ill see you in class.

All the trainers are attentive, not just yours. Everyone noticed my progress and gave complements and congratulations. It really is a family.

Absolutely best gym you’ll go too! It’s the best experience in all areas of from the gym staff to members. Every one here makes it feel more like a family while also being a top notch gym with lots of different gym equipment and can help you meet whatever goal you want to make, wether it’s getting stronger, losing weight, or just getting healthier. 110% recommend!

This gym’s intensity is almost overwhelming at first glance, but after I took my first fearful step of committing to a healthier life- I’ve not only achieved and surpassed goals I never thought possible but I’ve also grown a true desire to see my future achievements. And the people here are REAL, 💯percent. From the best of the best trainers to each and every member who is right there with you, giving it their all. It’s not a gym, it’s an invaluable sense of community, unbelievable support system and the sense of pride it instills in me to be and do better each and everyday!!!

The staff is always friendly and available. If I need any assistance, they will stop what they are doing and take care of my needs.Super clean. The best gym in town. They have equipment no other gym offers locally and their trainers are superb. They care about my fitness goals and strive to help me reach them.

I love this gym. I had started with IFF and then did go to another gym. While the other gym was ok - it did not have the care and family feel that IFF does have. All the trainers know you by name and care for you to ensure you are lifting correctly, do the exercise correctly and push you to be your best. Weight and inches I am loosing, but my confidence and strenght I am gaining.

Iron Forged Fitness is a great place to be to accomplish your health and wellness goals! I love this Place! I can’t thank you enough, the motivation, energy, and drive just seems to take over walking through the door. The facility and equipment are great, everything one needs to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle or compete at the highest level. The management and staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and care about all of their family members that come through the door. The staff continues to keep the facility clean at all times and the trainers always seem to have something new to challenge you. Iron Forged Fitness offers professional service with certified trainers, Group fitness, and proven training strategies. So, if you are looking for a home, to not only build strength in your abilities, (not just to keep up) and the confidence to surpass your wellness expectations. Iron Forged Fitness is the place to be!

This gym offers everything! I think the trainers are the best part of the gym- they are very helpful and energetic and always encouraging members to reach their goals- I was not expecting that when I joined and never experienced it at other gyms. My second favorite part is that it is 24 hours and well lit. The gym also has great partnerships and deals with other local businesses. The gym is well maintained and cleaned- the fitness center does not stink. If you’re worried about wasting your money- trust me you will not!

I cannot believe I did not walk in and become a member at this gym when I moved to the area almost 3 years ago! This is by far the cleanest, friendliest and most comfortable gym i have ever been to. The facility and its equipment are always clean and organized and the staff are incomparable to anywhere else! If you have ever even had a thought of joining i encourage you to go and check it out for yourself!

Absolutely LOVE this gym!! The people who work there are so awesome and it legitimately feels like a family! I will say though, it is rather expensive. But you cant really put a price on the family vibe and how CLEAN the gym always is. They have so many different pieces of equipment to choose from so you can vary your workout.If you can afford it and want a very comfortable and clean place to workout, this is the place for you!

Iron Forged Fitness feels like family!They never fail to greet me at the door with a smile for me and my kiddos!The daycare staff is fantastic and my kids look forward to seeing them each day.The gym’s fitness classes are fantastic and inclusive for all levels.As a mom who was beginning working out for the first time since having 2 babies, I was nervous, but I was welcomed by everyone!Do yourself a favor and say yes to IFF! You won’t regret it!

Where do I even start with this GYM... Aka my 2nd home! I have fallen in love with this gym, staff and trainers. IFF has helped me take my health and life back, when I started this challenge 6 weeks ago, I was in a rut and wasnt sure I could get out of it, but I did thanks to IFF! I am now a healthy and stronger person.

This gym has maintained everything and more that we needed in a fitness facility. About 8 years ago, work and seniority took care of working out peacefully during work hours, so when I seen a newspaper flyer about this place I was ready to sign up site unseen. The next day, their grand opening, we signed up and have never left! Theyve aged very well as a veteran owned establishment amongst the franchise chain gyms. The true, family connection vibe from the owners to the staff make it very personal when paired with your goal of success, so failure is not an option when assisting with your fitness needs.

Ive been a member for over a year now. The staff and trainers are amazing. Come see for yourself. Youll love it!

This gym is more than a place to go and get your swole on. It’s a family!! Since I’ve been going there, I have created more friendships I could ask for. The trainers actually care about their clients and members, they are very welcoming and always take their time to help everyone. Members aren’t just a number at Iron Forged and I am beyond thankful for everything they have done for me while being a member there.If you have been on the fence about joining, do it! You won’t regret it.

Iron Forged Fitness is the best gym I have ever been apart of. I have always been intimidated by gyms, but this one has changed my mind. To me, it’s one big happy training family. The trainers and members are the greatest. Everyone is motivating and pushing you to become your best self.

IFF is a great gym with knowledgeable and experienced trainers. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. If you want results. IFF is the place to get them.

Ive been with iron forged for a month and a half now and have nothing but great things to say. Ive bounced around between gyms and tried perosnal trainers since moving back here but the stars aligned when I finally decided to check out iron forged. Everything from the professionalism of the staff, cleanliness of the gym to the friendly and family atmosphere, it has been a great experience so far. Shutout to my perosnal trainer Clara, shes been keeping me accountable and has been working closely with me on my progress, very relatable and friendly. The Owner, Jennifer, was very informative of everything Id be getting into and the fact that she greets me everytime she sees me make feel like Ive been coming to this gym forever. I have never looked forward to going to work out as much as I do now being with iron forge. I plan to be with this gym for a very long time.

There are no words that could ever describe what iron forged and their team has done for me. From day one in this gym I have always felt like part of the family and the commitment this team has to offer is unmatched anywhere else. In every moment where I have struggled there has been someone for me to reach out to and if I ever needed help or had a question about something it has always been answered. The gym can be a scary place for most people but IFF makes it feel like a community ♥️

I absolutely love this gym. People say it takes a village to raise a child...it also takes a tribe to raise you. Those at IFF are always supporting you in your fitness journey and through so many avenues, from working out, nutrition, and then someone to listen to you. Everyone is there for you and wants to see you succeed. It is Amazing.

I originally joined IFF in Jan 2020. Rejoined after COVID with personal training with Tim. I signed up for a 12 week program and saw amazing results. I have continued since ending my 1st program. All the staff at IFF is super friendly and actually care about your goals and actively help you work towards them. My trainer Tim has been amazing through my lack of self confidence in the gym and just complete lack ofKnowledge with the equipment and movements. IFF has given me a new self confidence that I can accomplish anything I put my mind too. Currently sitting at 37 lbs lost and over 12% BF lost since July 2020. If you are looking for a non judgmental gym and staff then IFF is the place for you. Thank you IFFJohn Lewis

If you are not from the Jacksonville area and need a gym that has EVERYTHING this is it! You will not be disappointed.

This gym has become my home away from home! Joining has truly been the best decision I’ve made this year. I would recommend it to anyone!

This gyms staff greets me everyday with a smile when I come in. They are super clean and the staff is very polite. Good equipment and motivating trainers. It’s like joining a family because they care and get so close with the members.

This gym continues to be the motivating force in my journey towards health and fitness. The trainers are positive, encouraging, knowledgeable, and non-judgemental. People of all fitness levels and ages use this gym. What I really enjoy at Iron Forged Fitness are the 6 week challenges. You develop new friendships with other health-conscious people, and gain knowledge on fitness, nutrition and dieting strategies which will guide you towards success. Since joining in August I have lost @30 pounds. I look forward to losing 50 more with IFF!

For the past few weeks has continuously failed to adhere to the recommendations of health professionals and the governor. This location continuously Employs folks to run the front counter that won’t wear a mask and won’t ask the members to wear one either.

Iron forged fitness, where to start :DThis gym from the outside seemed scary and intimidating to me at first glance. But I promise you it is the most welcoming and warm supportive fitness and wellness setting I’ve ever experienced.It is clear that all the staff truly care about you and your individualized goals. Between the interval weights training classes and mind/body classes there is something for everyone here and many humble people to guide you along your journey. If finances hold you back from committing to yourself, look at this as an investment in you and your future. Prioritize yourself and put yourself first by taking the plunge and heading to Iron Forged Fitness, you won’t regret it!

They say it takes 21 days to make something a habit, I think thats wrong. I just finished the 6 week challenge through Iron Forged Fitness and it was not a habit until about week 5. The 6 week challenge was my first experience with Iron Forged Fitness and it has been wonderful! The style of workout classes was something that I was not accustomed to doing, but there were modifications that the trainers were always willing to offer. There was something different every time and it never got boring. The workouts were great, the trainers were great (music could have been better-my personal taste though) the facility was clean and neat, always greeted with a friendly face, and great encouragement. The reason I gave it four stars is because there was such a demand on the trainers for the amount of participants in the challenge and the amount of challenges that were going on that you sometimes had to wait to get feedback on information you were needing. I would certainly recommend this gym and the 6 week challenge to anyone. It has been a great comeback and reset for myself and Iron Forged Fitness got me started!

I was a member for about a year and half while in the area. Excellent gym with a wide variety of equipment for everyone. The gym is always clean and well taken care of. Trainer D is the best. Highly recommend him if you want to take your lifts to the next level. I will miss this gym and will compare the rest of the gyms I go to with IFF.

Great place to work out.Clean. Friendly staff. Engaged Trainers. Fun programs.Signed up for the 6 week challenge. Goal 1 was to win my money back. Goal 2 was to do this challenge with my wife and support the cause. Around week 2 it became about being able to move better. By the end, it was about getting my life back.The classes I went to, mostly coached by D., Haley, and Bethany, were intense. They motivated and encouraged, but they also paid close attention to everybody in the class. There was no sacrifice of form or safety in order to get more reps. They quickly demonstrated alternates to the planned workout for anybody who was unable to perform the planned movements. They were professional, casual, and engaged.Kristin sent us texts often through the weeks, asking how we were doing, asking if there was anything we needed or that she could do for us. I deviated from the diet plan a little and never got all the sleep I was supposed to. She passionately, yet graciously, encouraged me to be mindful about the impacts those decisions could have caused. She was always excited to see us, always encouraging, even when she was at the gym late into the evening and tired.If you are looking for a place to help you get out of a slump, this is the place. Start with a class or commit to a fitness challenge. There are great programs to get into from there. For sure, give em a try.

I have been a resident here in Jacksonville for 10 years. I have been to every single gym from Golds to planet fitness- and nothing can top this gym. The atmosphere, the staff and just everything about this gym is beyond wonderful. I found my home away from home and I’m never leaving! ❤️❤️❤️

I love this gym!!! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The personal training is awesome, I can’t say enough good things about Joe. In the few months I’ve been going, I feel like a totally new person. I’m stronger, more confident, and making progress everyday. I’ve never felt out of place, the staff is very welcoming. I also love that they offer childcare. Hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to!!!

This facility is a Mighty Mouse gym packed into a fantastic family environment. I have been going here for over a year and the staff and trainers have been nothing short of incredible. The equipment is always kept in great shape, the members are all extremely respectful, the trainers are well versed in all areas of their trade. There is no stereotype cliques, no grunting gorillas hogging the weights, it is a completely different experience then you will encounter anywhere in the area. If you’d like a cross training style workout, they got it! Strongman training, they got it! If you just want to step in and change your life with some overall fitness goals, they can greatly assist you. I have attended each one of the classes, been a part of the early morning crew, and even the closers, and there is never a shortage of equipment or space to go around. Their business model is solid and their advice is sound. I’m here almost every day between 4:30-7:00am and the flexibility that this gym offers with their 24/7 access is well worth it! I have, and would, suggest this gym as the premier training facility in Jacksonville. Thank you IFF for your commitment to health and excellence.

Great place with a great atmosphere. Everything you need to get in a workout in one place.

I honestly don’t know what to say about tonight as it was my last workout of the 6 week challenge. I was at a loss for words as we finished up our session this evening leaving the gym. It is quite bittersweet to have the program come to an end as I am excited to see the results on Monday but am also super bummed that I cannot maintain a membership as I am moving in a few weeks. I have enjoyed this experience so much and am grateful to have found iron forged fitness when I did. It was the perfect next step at the perfect time. The people here have truly made the experience above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. I was pretty nervous when I first started coming in to IFF. Typical newbie vibes. But EVERY TIME I walked in to their facility I felt welcomed and part of the family.

Do you want a change? Do you need motivation and people around you who will push you to success in whatever goal you are tying to accomplish? Well then this is the place for you. I’ve never been apart of anything this challenging physically until I stepped into this Gym and had my first class. I remember after the first day of my workout how winded I was...I’m recording myself after each class and I tell you from the first to the most current class the change in my stamina is tremendous. I have more confident and drive than I did before this. Not only is this place welcoming and well maintained the staffs, from the receptionist to the coaches are all so great. I recommend this place not just for the challenges but to make it your home gym. I am leaving North Carolina to fulfill my own dreams but if I’d stayed or if I shall come back this will be the gym I choose. I hope anyone to come in a try it out. Promise you’ll love it!

Extremely nice when going in for a membership, very helpful with all the questions we had. Can’t wait to work on my physique here. Jackie had great customer service and was very thorough with the tour and everything we needed!

If you are new to town, looking to up your game, or even lose weight and gain muscle, look no further! This is the gym for you! Not sure? Try their 6 week challenge! Not only will you learn valuable information about everything you need to know to succeed but you will also make a lot of friends! Everyone bonds as a team and it doesnt stop there! All of the teams get to know each other and cheer each other on too! Come and try them out, what do you have to lose? (Except weight and your envy of those doing what you want to be doing!) :) Make the leap, there isnt a better gym in town, especially one with awesome trainers, daycare staff, and the cleanest facilities ever! They actually go the full 9 yards here and then some!! Dont be fooled by the other places. Try them out for yourself, just do yourself a favor and go ASAP, stop putting it off!

If you’re looking for real results and want to make a change Iron Forged Fitness is the best place to make that happen! All staff are very professional, involved and extremely knowledgeable. In only 6 weeks with their guidance both in the gym and in the kitchen I lost 11 inches, 18.5 lbs, 7.3% body fat gone, and gained 2.4 lbs of muscle! Highly recommend to everyone and anyone looking for a gym and a life change.

I usually do not write reviews, good or bad. I make an exception when there is something that seriously ticks me off or more often when I have an incredibly stellar experience. Iron Forged Fitness more than fits the bill for the latter! Exceptional in every way you would want any business to be. Super clean with a large variety of equipment to choose from. They offer classes that are engaging and challenging. Best of all they have an awesome team of people! I am amazed at how they have put together this incredibly talented, helpful, caring group of individuals. It is a very welcoming and comfortable place. If you are looking for a membership, look no further.

I love it! The classes are my favorite and they are great if you are just starting out or advanced. Trainers are great at answering questions or giving modifications (if needed) and making sure your form is right. I have no complaints everyone is like a big family.

Came to Iron Forged from another gym in the area and am sad I ever wasted my time anywhere else. Been working out with Joe a few times a week, and after just a month I feel stronger and can already see the results. Wish I had joined iron forged originally, but am so happy I finally found my way there! fantastic staff and nice, clean gym environment. Joe is extremely knowledgeable and not only tells you what you need to be doing but explains why which I think is important. Nice to be surrounded by staff that cares about their clients! Highly recommend this gym

Iron Forged Fitness is way more than just a gym, it is a total support system of friendly, encouraging people! Everyone you meet will welcome you as part of the family! So glad I found such an amazing gym! My 15 month old absolutely loves the ladies that work in the daycare. They take great care of him! Ive really enjoyed participating in the Look Good Naked challenge! It has been such a fun way to get in great shape!

My first challenge and wont be my last! I have never felt so comfortable working out. Everyone have been so encouraging and helpful. Im a beginner and they took the time to teach me correct forms. The classes are hard but fun and its never the same. The group team environment pushed me to do more to keep moving. I highly recommend it! They take any fitness level and truly understand you .

I joined Iron Forged Fitness for the Say Yes to the Dress Challenge and I am so happy that I found this gym. I have decided to stay after the challenge. This gym is unlike any other I have ever gone too. It is more like a community that strives to make you a better person and makes you feel welcomed when you walk through the door. Jenn has worked with me on my nutrition and helped me reach goals in a month that I am extremely happy with. Thank you Iron Forged Fitness for making me part of your family.

Tried to cancel because I couldnt utilitize a vehicle anymore, they couldnt do nothing about it so now theyre basically just robbing my account every month, appreciate it, and I dont appreciate my money getting ROBBED from my account either.

Ive been here for almost 4 years and I’ve never felt out of place or embarrassed. Check it out!

Ive been going to this gym for a while now and its had such a positive vibe since day 1. Everyone is so welcoming. Ive never felt so comfortable at any gym. From the front desk to trainers to daycare the staff is amazing. They have all the equipment I could want and offer a range of group classes. Theres so much variety, its really what I needed to break my plateau. Ive had such great results since coming here. This gym has kept me motivated, even other members have been so encouraging. I love this place!

Went to another gym in the area for a couple years and wasnt getting the results I had been promised. Started taking classes and personal training sessions with Joe about a month ago and I love it! Hard workouts, but totally worth it and I have made more progress in a month than I have in the years I spent at the other gym. The gym is super clean, not crowed, and everyone that works out here is friendly and serious about their workouts. Highly recommend!!!

This gym is the best in town. Amazing staff with amazing people. Everyone is so supportive and caring about you and your fitness goals. The day care staff is wonderful with my child. So glad I found this gym.

Iron Forged is honestly such an amazing gym. The classes are great. I have access to a free gym on base but something that IFF has that it doesn’t is 2 hours of childcare included in the price and the trainers are so amazing. I joined the 6 week challenge and I’m on week 5 and don’t want it to end. I would recommend this gym to anyone that’s looking to get back into fitness like I was and that also has little ones. It’s a double win. I’m seeing such good results, the trainers give us workouts that push us in every way and I love it and I love this gym!

I absolutely love this gym. I’ve been going for a couple years now and I haven’t gotten tired of it. They change things up too. Recently there has been new equipment and they remodeled. The heart of the gym, it’s employees and trainers, are really what make this place. Anyone can fill a room with exercise equipment and charge people use it. This is a welcoming and motivating environment and It’s always clean. Your Best investment is your health. I’ve never regretted signing up.

So I want to share my experience with this gym. It is awesome. I started coming to the gym November 2016, 8 months pregnant. They had classes for me, I started out doing seated yoga. It’s for anyone who can’t do yoga on the floor. Karen is an awesome teacher. Then after I had my baby and 6 week check up they help guide me in right way to getting in the consistently. Year goes by, I join my first challenge with the gym, can you blessed. The trainers, the coaches and the staff were amazing. The attention and accountability they give was what I needed. I attend nutrition workshops which offer a lot awesome information. I’m at the end of this challenge and I love my results, and I love the gym.

Fantastic gym! The staff are friendly, supportive, and simply amazing! The 24/7 hours make it convenient and flexible to work out at your convenience. And, if youre looking for personal training...Joe is your man! Whether youre just beginning or looking to challenge yourself further, he is a master at understanding your goals, coming up with a personalized program, and pushing you to succeed!

Love this gym! The staff goes above and beyond for its members! They have an amazing training system that can get/keep anybody in shape. I love the members and the fact that I feel a part of such a positive, helpful, and loving family! Owners are local retired Marines and they are so down to earth....you wont even realize that you are talking to the owners. Childcare is amazing....my kids look forward to seeing the girls in the childcare and playing with the other children. I have such peace of mind while working out knowing my kiddos are in great hands and thoroughly enjoying themselves. Very modern, up-to-date equipment/training program, super clean, and love the infrared sauna! Best gym in town where you get way more than you are paying!

This is my third challenge with Iron forged fitness and I can not imagine going to another gym! The staff is amazing! I love the work out I get here! If it’s your first time getting back in the gym or if you are looking for a gym and want to try them out I would recommend signing up for a challenge. I love them! #5stars

Ive been a member of this gym for almost 10 months now.The staff and trainers are Amazing!!They are always friendly and care about every member.They keep pushing me to the next level, also they always provide encouragement to do our best.I feel stronger and healthier ever.

This gym has truly been life changing. 6 months ago, I started my journey at Iron Forged Fitness, and Ive since went down 3 pant sizes with their support and guidance. They offer numerous classes for any fitness level or interest, from yoga to Olympic weight lifting. Their trainers care and are very knowledgeable! They also have an amazing childcare team that are so hands on and trustworthy! I couldnt recommend this gym enough!

I could not suggest this gym enough! Everyone is so inviting and motivating. I look forward to my gym time everyday - they have all become friends. And you cant deny the results. Only 6 weeks in and Im seeing changes (physical and emotional) that Ive never seen before. The trainers truly want to see you succeed and work right with you every step of the way. And the child care is top notch! My kids beg to go to the gym with me :)

I am loving this gym! I started going after joining their most recent challenge, Drop It Like Its Hot. I was super nervous about starting to go to a gym, especially with as long as it has been since I have been to a gym or really even exercised. It has been an amazing experience! The entire staff are super helpful and extremely nice. I love the classes they offer and the trainers rock!

Very friendly staff, clean, well working equipment and awesome environment to workout in to meet your goals

After using 3 other gyms in Jacksonville I can confidently say Iron Forged Fitness is the absolute best. Immediately upon arriving I am always greeted. The trainers are friendly and actually care about my fitness goals. Prior to this, gym reps would show me around and then tell me prices. Joe took the time to talk to me about what I was looking to achieve then talked to me about how IFF can help me reach my goals and then went over all of my options.When I signed up Kristin also met with me for the body scan and measurements. She reviewed all of the details and discussed nutrition goals, went over calorie intake and macros, and I love that this was all tailored to my needs. I never experienced this anywhere else!After about a month of training I am so happy with my progress and I am really excited to see more results.

I cant say enough about this gym. The staff are exceptional and the gym is well maintained and clean.My trainer, Dartagan, has been wonderful and helping work through back issues and knee problems.This gym can help you recover from injuries or train you for competition.5 stars to Iron Forged Fitness

I Looove it!.. Great Staff!..I am doing my first challenge and its amazing! The coaches are always there for you, they pay really good attention to all your needs and always push you to do your best. Trainers are also super supportive and take time to teach the right forms for the workouts, the classes are challenging and fun! Honestly best gym i have been too!

Best gym in Jacksonville hands down! Family owned and run! Friendly, professional, CLEAN!!!!!!

I am learning to appreciate functional workouts. I used to go to the gym and head straight for a treadmill or an elliptical... no more 😜. With the functional workouts I have gotten stronger. I have noticed that my endurance has also improved and ❤️ the team of trainers that work with you. Not only do they each encourage you through the moves; they really help you look at the whole picture (fitness and nutrition).😍Thank you all for showing us that we can push through almost anything for short bursts of time.

I wasn’t really sure what to expect with Iron Forged but after hearing so many people rave about it I decided to check it out. I’m very familiar with the gym setting and have pretty much tried them all, but this place is so much different! IFF is like one huge family. Whether you’re in the challenge or a member you have so much support. The trainers know you by name and take a vested interest in their clients. I’ve never had to wait for a machine which is a huge plus for me and I appreciate the variety of classes offered. OH! Don’t let me forget about the childcare!! TWO HOURS of childcare per day is included. Total. Game. Changer. Honestly I don’t know why I wasted so much time before I checked this place out but I’m so glad I did.

Looking a for a quality gym to work out in? Look no further. Are you looking for a coach to push you to better yourself? Look no further.My wife and I joined a challenge at IFF 6 weeks ago and absolutely have enjoyed every aspect of the challenge.The staff will hold you accountable in all aspects. This is the only gym that I have been to in the last 4-5 years that I would actually show back up to work out or do anything again.

This gym is life changing! So motivating! Everyone at the gym is so friendly, the trainers genuinely care and want you to succeed in whatever goal you may have, and it’s fun! It is also cool to see people of all ages, shapes, and athletic ability all working out together. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking for a friendly place in Jacksonville, NC.

Update- still love this place 2 years later! I love the staff and the classes. They are my gym family and Id never imagine going any place else. They continue to motivate me to push towards those goals and never give! LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!This gym is hands down the best!!! The staff and trainers are incredible! They feel like family to me. I know they care about me and want to push me to reach my goals. And the classes they offer are amazing! You will definitely get a great workout in during one. They are the perfect mix of cardio and strength training all wrapped up with some fun. Its a very clean gym and I love being a member! Ive never left disappointed, and this place always puts a smile on my face- even after those really bad days.

This is a great local gym. They have so much to offer. The 6 week challenge is great for anyone at any fitness level. The coaches are motivating and knowledgeable. The gym is always clean and they have daycare!

The gym with a heart! They know your name and your health and wellness goals. You can walk in at any fitness level and find a program that will challenge you and keep you motivated. I would highly recommend this gym! Its different than any gym Ive ever belonged to and my only regret is that I didnt find them sooner! 5 months ago I was just getting back into working out and eating healthier and now because of their team, of the members, and the programs they offer I am stronger, leaner, and on my way to the healthiest Ive ever been!

Let me start by saying this gym is amazing!! From the first time I walked into the gym the staff and members were so welcoming! Mind you before this I always felt intimidated with the gym but I have grown to love this gym and love exercising! I enjoy all the classes they have to offer. I have been in 2 of their 6 week challenges and I will be back for another! Cant say it enough how great this gym!! I’ve not only gained amazing friends but family!!

Let me start by saying the gym is nice, always clean, the classes are great, and I absolutely adore the morning childcare ladies.Downside: pricing wise they are not competitive at all. They wont quote prices over the phone because it cost pretty much a mini car payment to take classes there. 196$/ A MONTH and thats with the mandatory 500$ downpayment applied. Unfortunately Im not joking. The 6 week challenge groups are 500$ (which can be used as your downpayment for a year contract afterward).Hope this helps anybody thats looking around for a gym!

It has been over a year since I have been a member at Iron Forged Fitness! With that said Ive lost 100 lbs with their guidance. Hands down the best gym I have ever been a part of. They have so much to offer from classes to personal trainings! They run amazing 6 week challenges which I have been a part of four of them just finishing this week off with the fit 4 u challenge. Coaches and staff they 100 percent care about your health and well being. I recommend this gym to everyone I know or meet!

Monolift, deadlift platform w/band hookups, competition bench, belt squat, reverse hyper, ghr, bands and chains, specialty bars and accessories. What more could you ask for? If you ask for them to look into a new piece of gym equipment, they actually will, and honestly the only gym I have ever been to where the “enhancement fee” actually went towards enhancing the gym with new equipment or replacing damaged equipment. super friendly crew and a great lifting environment!

Iron Forged is the IT gym. Functional. Circuit style. Cardio. Heavy/Olympic/Power lifting. Health and wellness. They have it all. It is a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. They do not have a big gym/chain type feeling. Iron Forged has an at home/local feeling with a great staff that is there to coach you to your goals and help in your fitness journey. And a HUGE plus, they have daycare for the parents looking to get a workout in during their busy life schedules. Great gym. Great people. 🤘

I love this gym! Everyone knows your day and cheer you on. This is my second challenge and probably not my last. I love all the wonderful people I have meet here. Best gym around period!.

I love this gym and all the trainers there! I’m coming to the end of my 2 challenge I’m sad the challenge is coming to an end but so thankful for the time I’ve had there, I definitely wouldn’t have be able to achieve my goals without the help and support of everyone at iron forged! If you are looking for a gym Iron Forged Fitness is the gym for you! I’m excited for the next challenge and hope I can become a member soon!

I have always been intimidated by the gym, but this gym is amazing. The staff here alone makes it worth it. They are all so encouraging and really take the time to get to know you. They are open to answer any questions you have at any time. The childcare is amazing as well. They are great with the kids there. I highly recommend this gym if you are in the area.

Today was my first day and i made it!!! The instructor was amazing and help me there and told me things I could do at home. I didnt feel intimidated they made me feel I GOT THIS !!! So if you need a place to get in shape IRON FORGED FITNESS is the place to be. Thank you Jen!!!!!

Absolutely the most amazing gym I have ever been a member of! The knowledge that the staff has is astounding! They care and invest in you, your health and your journey. They actually take the time to help and make sure youre doing the movements correctly making sure not to create injuries. If you need motivation this is where you need to be!

I came here when I was lower emotionally than I had been in years. The staff welcomed me and cheered me on. Going consistently and pushing myself led me to overcoming a lot of mental hurdles and becoming more physically fit. I am forever grateful for Jenn and Chris who run such a good place and the wonderful trainers.

I joined the challenge at IFF after a friend shared her personal results from doing challenges. I was nervous to do it because I thought the staff or other challengers might be intimidating. I was so wrong! Everyone has been more than friendly and the whole experience has been wonderful. The staff is knowledgeable and willing to help with anything you need. I would recommend this gym to anyone who is serious about reclaiming their health!

Been here for a while! Always available equipment! Always can go workout whenever I want!

The gym is very well maintained and has a great environment to work out in.

From the min I walked in the door at Iron forged fitness I felt so welcome! From the staff, trainers and gym members! I signed up for the drop it like its hot challenge and have not regretted it! I could never put a price on the knowledge I have gathered from everyone in the gym!!! This gym is not your average gym its so much more! So happy to have been part of it!!Amber Roberts

Came in looking for a good place to Train. I’ve been out of the gym for over a year. From the first moment I knew I found the right place. I was introduced to Joe Portillo and we discussed my goals and current body stats etc. Joe quickly developed a training Regime to push my limits. I am already seeing great results just after a few sessions. If your looking for a great place to start look no farther than Iron Forged Fitness and make sure and ask for Joe he will guide you in th right direction for all your fitness goals. Chuck Ray...

This is the best gym ever! Ive tried a few others and none have ever been so personable, friendly and just all around helpful. For someone really just starting a fit life the staff have helped me tremendously! They make you feel ok about your level of fitness and help you improve on it every time you walk through their door, no matter if youre seasoned or just beginning.

Had I not received orders I would still be training here, the staff knows almost everyone on a first name basis and the atmosphere is excellent regardless of what your goals are. I didnt have any issues cancelling my membership because all of the rules were laid out in the contract. Anyone saying that they had difficulty cancelling doesnt know how to comprehend a simple obligation.

What can I say about this gym...I’ve been a member for a little over a year now, they’ve made me love working out again. I no longer dread going to the gym in fact, I miss it when my schedule doesn’t allow me to go. Everyone there treats you love family❤️

I have been what one might call “gym-phobic” but after signing up and completing the 6 week fitness challenge (offered by IFF to the public at large) I amJointing this gym! I worked harder than I ever have, but I also received more support, education, direction and encouragement to seek a healthy lifestyle combining nutrition, exercise and recovery!

This is a great gym with committed staff, trainers, and coaches. Great, clean, and welcoming facility. If youre considering joining just do it - you wont regret it.
