Ozark Iron Gym

I’ve been going here for awhile, this gym will for sure help me become a world class powerlifter with the environment that I am working out in. I have been to many gyms but there are few that I actually feel like I belong to. Best gym in the Fayetteville area 100%

Real weights, real people. Equipment is all nice and well taken care of. Staff is great and helpful. Other members are encouraging and helpful as well. Also, you’re allowed to add songs to be blasted over concert speakers. I’m not sure about you, but being able to turn on whatever song you want and have it blasted, beats headphones any day of the week.

Love love love this gym me and my gf have been going here for about a month. From day one everyone was super welcoming! We are probably the smallest people in there lol but I love the atmosphere everyone is getting at it, the music is a plus as well! This gym has literally everything you need! Name a better gym in Fayetteville you can’t ha! :)

Excellent gym. Everyone is welcome, but be ready... It's at the more serious end of the spectrum. Owner is an awesome guy, and great to interact with. Highly recommend this gym as part of your fitness journey.

I honestly don't know how other gyms in the area can afford to stay open with this place being here. There is truly a family of folks in there and Will (the owner) treats everyone that walks through the door with the utmost respect. You won't find another gym anywhere like it. I've been to a few gyms in the last ten years and this is easily the best one I've ever been part of.

The owner, Will has created an awesome atmosphere. Great gym! Equipment is always clean and well kept. Probably not a place for everyone but if you take your training seriously and want to surround yourself around some strong lifters you love it. Lots of specially equipment for powerlifting, strongman, Condo. Will miss this place.

Was in town for work and dropped in on my way to go hiking. Unreal atmosphere here. Super positive, people smashing PRs and having a good time. Plus only a 5$ drop in! Wish every gym was like this.

I had previously given this gym a bad review on account of the fact that my membership was terminated by an employee because I had left weights out on more than one occasion; having grown up in a private gym, this was a habit which I had formed, and I did it unconsciously. I would have corrected the habit if I had been made aware of my actions on more than one occasion -- of course, being unconscious of doing something means that one does not know when he is doing it. This is why it would have been nice if it had been brought to my attention more than once.I still think the termination was unjustified for the following reasons: [i] I was only approached about it once; [ii] I was given no warning leading into the termination; [iii] if either (i) had occurred again, or if (ii) had occurred at all, I would have been inclined to correct the habit. Instead, a particular employee used every violation in order to accumulate evidence against me (taking pictures, etc.), which he used to justify the termination. I do not know if the evidence was authentic (because, as I said, if I left weights again, I did so habitually and unconsciously). So, I think that the gym would benefit from a "warning system". After a member violates one of Ozark Iron Gym's three rules, they receive a penalty (maybe more than one for the third rule); after a set number of penalties, their subscription is terminated. Otherwise, the choice is the whim of an employee such as the one who terminated my own subscription.Notwithstanding, after exchanging emails with the owner of the gym, I do not think he made the decision, or else was convinced by the employee who gathered the "evidence". Seeing as the employee is likely only working here temporarily, and is the only person responsible for the premature termination, I will leave him out of account. I would rather support a classical style gym (as rare as they are) that allow an expendable employee to shed a negative light upon it.The subtracted star is for the lack of a proper "warning system". If I ever find out that one has been added, I will edit the review for a 5-star.

You're missing out if you go to any other gym in NWA. Extremely nice layout with plenty of equipment/benches/racks for everyone. I've been going religiously for two years now and I can say Will created something special here for sure. Might look intimidating from the outside but I promise everyone is extremely friendly and willing to give advice.

Decided I would wait a couple months before I gave this gym a review. In the FAYETTEVILLE area most gyms want to sign you to long term contracts. This is the only gym that gave me a fair month to month price, which I needed because I am not from the area and am not sure how long I will be here. It's nice, the staff is nice and the equipment is even nicer. Everything you really need for a good powerlifting workout is here and there are always nice gym goers and staff that will spot you or answer questions if you have any. Also at certain parts of the day there are awesomely strong people that will let you hop in on a set with them and even give you advice on improving. Was pleasantly surprised. Overall great gym and good atmosphere for lifting and exercising.
