All gyms are similar right? Yes and no. What you are getting with IPA is a community like no other gym youve been to. It is understood that items such as weights and equipment are an important part of a workout, however the reason why IPA stands out from the rest is because of the simple fact that there is a tremendous community of amazing, supportive people who make it a priority in their lives to visit with regularity and make it a part of their routine. This is why this gym is so special. When you look beyond all the things commonly advertised in the industry (facilities, equipment etc) understand the primary reason why you will improve and get stronger is an environment that keeps you coming back time and time again. This is where IPA stands above the pack, as it is a special place unlike any other because of its one of a kind community. I can say with certainty that the experience of being a member has been transformative in my life and is something I could not imagine living without now.

I started going to Ironbound probably about a year into the pandemic. I was doing at home workouts but as one knows who lifts weights it’s hard to stay in shape, keep your strength & stay motivated when you don’t have the proper tools. Not only has Ironbound helped me gain my strength back & PR on almost all of my lifts but they have given me a community that is full of support. The motivation & team like spirit really helps to keep me going. I highly recommend for people of all levels of fitness. The workouts are challenging but can always be scaled.

This is an amazing fitness studio that will encourage novices and challenge experienced participants to achieve more from their workout routines. I strongly believe that I would not be able to achieve the goals I have set for myself without Ironbound Performance Athletics (IPA for short), the owner Josh, the instructors and my fellow classmates!I started at IPA after period of inactivity due to a knee injury and Josh with his well trained staff helped me ease into classes with modifications that allowed me to gain the strength and confidence that has propelled me to maintain a regular discipline for over 2 years.The workouts change daily so its never boring, the instructors all bring their diverse insights and the sense of community keeps you encouraged, supported and accountable.IPA is available on the ClassPass app which works for me since I typically travel for work often but I am sure its more cost effective to be a member. Also, the member portal they have makes it easy to book classes and allows for more flexibility if your schedule changes.

I took a class at this place through ClassPaas, I could say this is the most unorganized fitness place I have ever been to. The trainer initially explains you the workout (workouts are pretty good) and then hes just on the phone or the laptop doing his own stuff. Does he check if the clients are doing the right form?: NODoes he help if the clients are stuck in an exercise and are not able to do the workout?: Absolutely NOIts surprising that it has good reviews, they really need to learn how to conduct a fitness class, other than the trainers being on phone all the time.

IPA has gotten me into amazing shape and has helped me build a great community of friends in Jersey City. Josh, the owner is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also a great teacher and mentor. If I ever move from Jersey City, I will continue to pursue kettlebell and conditioning work in the same way Ive been taught here at IPA. Highly recommended for anyone at any level of fitness.

IPA is a great fitness studio! The classes are full body, kettlebell heavy circuits. Ive been going for a while now and ive never been fitter.

Had a class here through class pass and I’m glad I made it. The place looks new, however it was pretty crowded when I went. Even if there was a lot more people than I thought can fit there, the work out was pretty spaced out and there were no issues with a big class. I think the workouts were challenging and interactive. There was some team work and people seemed to enjoy working out there. I would def go back. Friendly staff and nice people at class, made the vibe a good one.

This place is a gem. Great value for the money and you get a good workout with good people. I unfortunately had to cancel my membership due to personal obligations, but would definitely go back when I can.

Josh is a great owner and trainer. Sign up for the 30 day trial price and you wont be disappointed. Great community and team oriented classes

I signed up for the $99 kickstarter (includes personal training sessions) program and am now a devoted member of IPA. Joshua is a thoughtful and dedicated trainer that keeps the workouts fun and engaging, but always gives me the push I need. Would recommend IPA to everyone looking to improve their fitness level!

Just started a few weeks ago but i love this gym. Josh is a great trainer and his kettlebell workouts r awesome

Best hour of my day!Just finished the first month, $49 trial, here. Amazing!!! Josh, the owner and instructor, is very knowledgeable, professional, and encouraging. Workouts are designed to work for all fitness levels so there is constant room to grow and push yourself which the positive group will help you do.Just moved to the area from near Morristown and I also looked at Base and did their 7-day trial there (as if you can try anything in 7 days?) and was very turned off by the typical gym membership BS. Even offered to pay for the full month to try it, they wouldnt budge. NEXT! Crossfit Jersey City was silly expensive because... why charge less if people will pay more? Franchise royalties are expensive.Such a great value for the $160/month for the Group classes that max out at 20.

Great environment, work outs make sweat, every session has a different set up, which helps your body to work more, Josh is a great coach and students are friendly, no attitude, great classes.

Friendly people, good workouts
