Buys trash equipment publicly trashed members and guests when their faulty equipment almost causes injury. What a trash heap

Awesome only one bike but never had to wait to use it! All of the equipment none of the crowd! Everyone is there working out so you don't have to wait on some youngsters phone to go dead before a bench is opens up! Plus only gym in nwa to have the nautilus lat pull over! It may be hammer strength but works same!

In almost 30 years of working out i've never been in a gym this good. The free weights in here are unmatched by anything i've ever seen before. I don't even know how many bench presses and power racks there are but probably 15 or more of each. Lifting platforms in the back and dumbbells up to 150 lbs. There are more free weight pieces of equipment in here than most commercial chains have across their entire nationwide gym chains combined. As with any quality gym there is a board with members lift records. Wish I lived here to be able to train at this gym more often.

I had the pleasure of visiting this gym while traveling for work. Im able to visit many different gyms on my travels and I can happily say ; I was lucky to have found Ozark Iron.This isn't your LA, Crunch, or Esporta, and I'm sure that's the way the owner and members like it.Ozark Iron is successfully keeping alive that old school appeal that has been lost in recent times. Though, I have to say, it is not old school in the sense the equipment is old and rusty and the owner doesn't want to put any money into it, so the gym just claims "old school". No, Ozark Iron has all the appeal and the equipment to match: all the deadlift platforms, squat racks, cables, free weights, machines, and open space you would need to get in a great work out.Additionally, i can happily say: this is not the place where you have to worry about Addison and Tristen side eyeing you like you just knocked over their starbucks non fat extra froth latte "pre work out" because you grunted mid set and your tomato-red head looks likes it gonna pop off bc your actually putting in some work.- throw a scoop of RYSE in there Tristen and join the party. No, This feels like a place that respects the grind and welcomes the struggle.From PR's written on the walls in chalk, soon to be erased and re-written I'm sure, to chalk hand prints 10ft up the wall(BTW Ozark who TF u got there jumping that high lol) to the friendly and inviting staff( I was there on a Tuesday night for the lady and gentleman that were very kind and excited about where they worked)- This gym screams pride in the progress. No frills, just what u need to get gritty.So if your in the area, I suggest you give this place a visit, put in some work, and start writting your name up on that wall.Great gym, great experience. Thank you staff, and thank you Ozark Iron. I will be back.

I supported this gym since I first moved to NWA, recommended it to everyone who was looking for a great place to workout and even posted it on my social media accounts. I had nothing but incredible experiences with the staff and all of the members, then one day I came in to workout after having been gone for months and found out I was banned.I was extremely embarrassed, but I am a small time celebrity in some circles, and I have stalkers who have gone to businesses before and have made complaints about me, so I politely left and asked for the owner to contact me so I could resolve the issue. The complaint stated that I had been harassing women, which never happened. Again, I hadn’t even been there for months prior to the complaint, so I assumed it was just a simple misunderstanding.Since then I have reached out to try to resolve the issue again and I have been refused.I understand that a private business has every right to refuse service, so I’m not upset at all by their decision to keep me out. What I am saddened by is the complete lack of professional courtesy. I am a combat veteran and a father who believes in direct communication.My intent in writing this review is not to ruin anyone’s business, but rather to let other people that are considering going here know how disrespectfully and poorly conflict is handled in this gym.Conflict is commonplace in gyms like this and I hope that it is handled better in the future.

Is it the absolute best bodybuilding gym I’ve ever been to? No, but it’s clean, well maintained, reasonably priced, and the staff is polite. They have a pretty good selection of your standard classic machines and also some fancy ones. I’d definitely go back.

Overall pretty good first experience. They were having trouble with their computer system though which cause a wait of 20+ mins. Hopefully it gets fixed soon, but still a great gym

This place is the “only” gym I would and could give 5 stars. I travel a lot and hit gyms all over the country. Great equipment great staff and atmosphere. Iron and sweat, easy to stay motivated in this gym.
