I cannot understate how much I enjoy this gym. It has everything Id say a good gym needs. Its a small, no frills, old school style, black iron gym, with the essentials needed to get fit. The staff is friendly, the equipment is awesome and the gym is perfectly spaced. I highly recommend it to any serious lifter
Fantastic gem of a gym. Has everything you need from squat racks to machines. No unnecessary frills, just a great place to workout out. The community of regulars that I encountered were always friendly too, cant go wrong with this place. Owners are super friendly and respond quickly to any messages.
Its a gem. 24/7 access to most free weight equipment for a very competitive, no contract monthly fee.
Great gym if you want the no frills experience. All the essential equipment is there, the gym is never too packed like LA fitness, and theres no distractions, TVs and non-sense going on around you. Because the gym is open 24/7, you can always find a time that fits you and there are plenty of times you can get the gym to yourself. Highly recommend if you live in the Fairmount/Spring Garden/West Poplar area
Convenient location, great hour 24/7. Monthly membership affordable. Recommend to anyone who live close by.
Great staff and gym. Gives you everything you need for powerlifting, bodybuilding and general fitness. The essentials done well. Also a great price for 24/7 access to a safe and clean gym.
I was in town for a couple of days and stumbled upon Iron Works Fitness. The gym is great and has that old school golden era vibe. Zach was very helpful during my time being there. Will definitely be back whenever Im in Philly again
One of the best no-frills, no bs gym in town. If you love lifting weights then this is the place
Great experience at this gym. Friendly staff, all the equipment you would ever need, and a good vibe for anyone serious about weight lifting. Would recommend to anyone.
Awesome gym thats not too crowded.The brothers who own and run the gym are really helpful and easy going.Would recommend for anyone
The gym is great. Will definitely be back.
This place has everything you need for weight training, highly recommend!
Great equipment and great hours. Never too busy either.
Has everything you need for powerlifting, 4 squat racks. Its perhaps a bit on the tiny side but you really cant beat the price and location near CC. Its 24/7 and you can almost always get a rack, owner is super nice and always around too.
Old school gym feel. Never overly crowded and has all of the needed workout equipment in good condition. Friendly staff. 24 hours is a plus, and you can control the Bluetooth if you want. All around great spot
Good gym, good price, easily accessible (at any time) and has what you need to do what you need to do. Definitely for people that just want to lift w/o any B.S.
This gym is packed full of all the equipment that any bodybuilder would need but is welcoming to all levels of fitness. The owners and staff are all physically fit and very knowledgeable. I take any advice that is provided knowing that they just want to help and see me improve. The facility is super clean and I love the location. Ive been to many large commercial gyms but when I go here, I truly feel like I am apart of a family that will help me along my fitness journey.
Solid gym with all the heavy lifting equipment you could want, and plenty of racks to go around. The owners/managers are nice, welcoming and responsive. No frills in terms of amenities, just a place to go and lift stuff. I’d love to see more space for open turf space for warm-up and equipment like bands and foam rollers.
Super nice place with awesome owners
An amazing lifters oasis with all the equipment you need for weightlifting and more. Pristine gym, kept in great condition. The owners are very kind, hardworking, and full of integrity. If you want to support small business while getting fit, this is the place for you.
Awesome gym. Great equipment and so clean and nice looking. Price is amazing for how close it is to city center. Definitely the best bang for your buck here in Philly.
Been training here for the past year and it’s definitely the best value in center city, especially for those who train with primarily free weights.24/7 access, showers and bathrooms, WiFi, quality equipment including dedicated 2 deadlift platforms, 4 squat racks, barbells, and bench presses which means never having to wait or work in with other gym goers. Very affordable and clearly stated monthly dues, no contract required, and no shady hidden fees or cancellation procedures. Owners are super friendly and easy to get in contact with. Gym is clean and never too crowded.Great environment for training for powerlifting, and the owners even held a competition last year at the gym. However, there are also treadmills and a selection of weight machines that should satisfy your average gym goer regardless of your fitness goals.There’s a free one day trial available so I definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in the area.
I stopped in for my first lift on a Saturday, which was free (every Saturday from 11am-3pm!) and I was extremely impressed with the facility and staff. As a competitive powerlifter, finding decent equipment in the city can be a challenge, but they had everything I could possibly want! Their bars and plates are top notch and I usually dont use machines, but they had some really impressive machines/attachments for accessory work. On top of that, their music was on point and the 24/7 availability with on-site shower is clutch. Super convenient to get to from the Broad Street Line as well!
I signed up all my employees for this place and they love it! Friendly, clean environment . Feels like home! Everything you need in a great location.
Great no-nonsense gym. It has everything you need and nothing that you don’t need.
Very clean gym. Opened during holidays too unlike the franchise gyms. Has everything you need for strength training. Theres spots to do deadlifts and they even have a hex bar too if you dont want to use barbellTwo treadmill and two elliptical. Not really a place for cardio but just gains!
Iron works has a great atmosphere and feel to it. If I lived closer, this would absolutely be my daily gym. Can’t wait to go back and the owner is great!!
Loved the feel to this gym! Even for woman just trying to stay fit and tone- this is the place to be. Great people running it also.
Fantastic 24 hour gym. Mostly focused on free weights. Multiple power cages for compound excercises, 2 deadlift platforms, Jacks for barbells(which for some reason most gyms dont have), and plenty of weights. The only criticism I have is that the wifi currently has connection issues. EDIT/UPDATE: wifi has been fixed. This place is the real deal.
Great people, great equipment. They have unique cable grips to help destroy your back in the best of ways.
Great local work out spot with reasonable pricing, the sign up special is awesome! Open 24 hours so super convenient!
Love this gym. 24/7 access and really nice equipment
Well-equipped, no-nonsense gym with friendly managers and clientele. Seldom very busy.
