Ironbound Performance Athletics

By far the best gym in the area! Great staff and varied workouts. 3 workouts a week keep you in shape.

I hate working out, but Ironbound makes me love it. It’s the only gym I find myself consistently showing up to. The workouts are different each day, and it’s a fun and welcoming environment. Special shout out to Courtney who leads the 9am classes—she helps with my form and pushes me to increase weights and get stronger! 💪 …

Great local community! All the members are very encouraging and welcoming of others. Coaches are wonderful and are very helpful in modifying movements so I could continue to workout safely during my pregnancy and beyond.

Great, inclusive and accepting community. Challenging classes but adjustments can be made for any fitness level. And everyone there - both the trainers and the other gym rats - is super nice and welcoming ❤️ S/o to my favorite instructor Melika for introducing me!!!!

Pretty good gym, with great classes, though some coaches can be dismissive and uninterested in your development, but the ones that do care are great. The upside is that the community has plenty of experienced members that are extremely good supporting you on your fitness journey.

Several years ago I had a serious leg injury and while rehabbing decided to change my exercise routine completely. I found Ironbound Performance Athletics and am happy I did. I started out with the a few initial personal training sessions and then have continued with groups classes since. I love the format, pace, and variety of the workouts and the community Josh and the other trainers/coaches are building. I really enjoy the core work, strength training, and mix of cardio. Highly recommend to anyone.

I've been attending this gym for just over a year. I've tried many other group fitness classes in the area, and while they were good, my progress always plateaued. At this facility, there is an option to push harder and a chance to get stronger, safely, under the eyes of coach, who also demos the moves. Their is a vast range and size of weights, dumbbells, kettlebells, plates, and varied cardio machines like assault bikes, ski erg, rower and treadmills. There are enough class slots 7 days a week to fit with my work schedule. Things I thought I would never do, such as pull ups or run a faster mile, I attribute to this gym. Losing weight, feeling and looking better in clothing is nice too.

When I first joined IPA I admit I was intimidated. Not only was I an overwhelmed mom to a 3 year old, I was recovering from a severe shoulder injury and had never been to a strength class ever in my life - I had preferred swimming and dance type classes before. My first few classes were challenging to say the least but the support and kindness from the instructors and fellow members made me want to stick with it. I’m still here 2 1/2 years later and find myself significantly stronger and in better shape than I’ve ever been before in my life at 38. The classes are programmed with expertise and always allow for personalization regardless of what level you are at. I enjoy testing my strength now and thinking back to what I was barely able to do when I first started. I especially enjoy the camaraderie that I have with fellow members, we always encourage and challenge each other.

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 it's 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 it's 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 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.
