Awesome gym, drove 3 hours to make it there a few years ago and had a great experience. Everyone was super friendly and inviting as soon as you walk in the door. Great equipment as well! Looking forward to another trip very soon!

First and foremost Zach is a good dude and genuinely cares about people’s health. I have hit him up multiple times for different types of information and he is always willing to go above and beyond. In addition, he continuously improves himself on not only a physical basis but a mental one as well. He challenges himself on levels that are extremely difficult which is an attribute to his lead by example mentality. If you want to get better, this is the guy who will help you do it.

Haven’t been able to make the trip out to Indy yet, but it’s coming soon. The men out at Iron Valley Barbell have served as some of the biggest inspirations in my life and helped me to perform better in the gym. The knowledge they put out, FOR FREE, has aided me immensely and I appreciate what they do more than they know.

If you are in need of an environment that produces physical and mental growth, Iron Valley Barbell is the place to be. The facility itself is an amazing environment to lift in and the community of lifters is like no other. I've trained in many gyms in the area and Iron Valley is second to none.

Great atmosphere at IVB. Zach will help any lifter at any level improve their positioning on the big 3 (or any movement).Everyone at IVB was willing to let me work in and offered advice/verbal cues throughout the lifts (even though I had to strip plates to train with them lol).

I have not been to the gym personally but Zach and his whole staff always puts out great content on social media and through that alone I have gained so much knowledge and insight into lifting. 100% recommend this gym and hope to make it there myself some time soon
