This WAS a great gym and I have been a member for more than a year. I arrived for a workout this week to find a HUGE, regulation boxing ring right in the middle of the main floor...

Best Gym In Santa Monica!!! 8/6/2011

This gym not only has some of the best personal trainers around but they offer numerous classes like Boxing, Yoga, Beach Boot camp and always seem do be adding new and exciting classes to the schedule! I love the fact that its a boutique gym!!! I'm always greeted with a smile and a friendly hello! EVERYONE from the personal trainers, front desk staff even the cleaning crew is friendly. (obviously a plus!!) PROS - Always SUPER CLEAN! - Friendly staff and Amazing personal trainers! - Great selection of classes to choose from (not to mention the kids classes they offer) - The high ceilings and open area always makes for a enjoyable workout! - Good music!!! (if you're not feeling the jams they are always willing to put something you enjoy on) - Very nice new equipment... They also have an amazing little machine the ""InBody"" Body Composition Analyzer this makes keeping up with my fitness goals easy! - EASY PARKING!!! (where in LA is this ever the case?) one and only con- - Only one location... I wish there was one on every street corner. ******** All in all I absolutely LOVE this gym ( I would highly recommend this place to someone who is seriously looking for a gym they never want to leave!)*********** more

Awesome 5/10/2011

I have been in the Santa Monica area, north of Montana now for 6 months. Ive been looking for a gym with a decent class schedule and also offering good personal training. Not really happy with the results of my search until one of my neighbors told me about this awesome gym. Wow, was I impressed. I did the boxing class with Tye, which was not only a blast but really kicked my butt. Then i did a personal training session with Danielle and I honestly can say that it was one of the best sessions Ive ever had. Ive since been going to the boxing class on a weekly basis, and also done their bootcamp and Leanin up class(which I also love), but Danielle's training has really got me in the best shape of my life. Her training is fun and strenuous, but she is very thoughtful and doesnt destroy me to the point where I cant walk out of the gym. It certainly appears that all their trainers have a good following and Danielle has told me that the owner is very particular about hiring top notch people. The gym is also a cool place with high ceilings and great airflow as they keep the large overhead door in the gym open all the time. The equipment is the best and the members are like a big family. Cant say enough good things about Iron! more

Best Gym in Santa Monica 2/2/2011

I wanted to get back in the game about a year ago so I started checking out gyms in Santa Monica near my work. I looked at 24hr, LA fitness, Burn Fitness, Equinox...high and low, from cheap to expensive. more

In a class of its own 12/30/2010

This gym is a special place. The vibe, the staff, the equipment, the trainers, great parking, open bright environment, really unique classes, with more to come, according to mgt after the first of the year. This gym has such a great friendly community feeling and the owner keeps making the place better and better. Ive never been a huge gym rat, but Iron has inspired me to get in the best shape of my life! I know this review seems to lay it on thick, but seriously, anybody looking for a gym in West La, should give it a try and you will see what I mean. more

Great Fitness Place 11/22/2010

This gym really works for me. It's no frills and it's truly about being fit. You park outside and walk right in. It's small enough so you can get right to your class or your equipment for a great work out. I love Woody's boxervate class!! I have kids and can only work out a couple of times a week. This class is ideal for me since he changes it around and always provide a great cardio and muscle work out. I have truly learned the methodology in boxing and it is one of the greatest all around work outs have ever had. It keeps me in my 40's feeling like I still ""have it"". Thanks Woody!!! more

Like no other! 11/7/2010

This gym is simply an amazing place. Iron recently got beat up over a boxing ring they installed, but have since removed and the place really rocks now. Great selection of amazing classes, that apparently they are going to expand even further. Also love the great, friendly staff and the trainers all seem top notch and very open to helping even just to be nice. One of the cleanest gyms Ive ever been in and parking is so easy. Ive made a couple of cool girlfriends from this place and it seems that this gym has created a cool little community. more

Best Gym in Los Angeles! 10/30/2010

Ive belonged to this gym for about 6 months. In all honesty, I love the gym itself, but they installed this ridiculous boxing ring, that apparently was the workings of John, who is now the former manager. The ring is now gone! John has been fired and the owner, who is a great guy named Ken, has taken over the management. As a women who has worked out in gyms across the country, this is the best of the best. Atmosphere is second to none. the equipment rocks. There is a nice big open area for more functional training, which i prefer, and they have a very cool boxing room. Parking is excellent, and the staff is simply amazing. The boxing class with Woodie is one of the most amazingly unique fitness classes ive ever taken. He is truly a very motivating and warm individual. The feedback ive gotten on the trainers has been outstanding as well. more

Boxing at IRON 8/23/2010

I've been a member at IRON since it opened. This is a great gym! The best space I've seen, not to mention the cleanest, with all kinds of high-tech amenities, as well as the basics. The personnel, trainers and the owner, John, make me feel like they are glad to see me when I walk in the door. I love working out there! I know some people are upset at the recent addition of the boxing ring. Things may be a little out of order at the moment, but I know that IRON will make the new boxing ring feel as much as a part of the gym as everything else. Plus, it's kind of cool going to a gym with a boxing ring. Helps keep you motivated while working out. :) more

WTF 8/22/2010

This WAS a great gym and I have been a member for more than a year. I arrived for a workout this week to find a HUGE, regulation boxing ring right in the middle of the main floor. This is not a big gym, mind you, so it's as if the Starship Enterprise landed. Machines and free weights have been removed or shoved into corners to accommodate this behemoth. I understand that they are changing their business model and in today's economy, one must do what one needs to do to stay alive. However, the space is cramped and truly unworkable. I decided to cancel my membership. Now, they insist on charging me and additional $85 bucks because I am required to give 30 days notice. Nice way to treat long-time loyal customers and I am shouting it from the roof tops! more

WOW! 2/14/2010

Ive always been a serious gym goer and have been to gyms all over the country. This is one of the best gyms ive ever workout in. Great layout, great unique equipment ive never seen in a gym. The best boxing room in a gym that wasnt a boxing gym as its primary. John, who runs the gym, is always there and is as friendly and as helpful as they come. Ive been training with Holly, who has really taken an interest in making me better and workingout is a pleasure. The vibe is awesome with a great sound system and flat screens throughout and it has 30' ceilings inside so its very comfortable. I can say enough about this place. Makes going to the gym much easier! Pros: Clean, new top equipment, great vibe great helpful staff Cons: No whirlpool or steam room facilities more

Best Gym in LA 11/16/2009

If you are interested in getting in shape and being around the best people in LA than Iron is for you. The equipment is State of the Art, the trainers are knowledgeable and willing to help if you have questions (even if you are not buying sessions). The best part of Iron is that you can go into the gym every day and do a different type of workout every day. They even have a full BOXING gym with actual boxers teaching classes & training. There is no gym in Los Angeles that offers as much as Iron. Pros: Personal Training, State of the Art equipment & staff more

I was blown away! 11/3/2009

I accidentally happen to cross this gym while in Santa Monica. It was very clean and open with amazing equipment I've never seen before. I was actually able to park behind the gym and walk in the front door so that was nice. The staff was friendly, bubbly and very helpful and answered all my questions. I really need to start my morning with positive people and I think IRON is the place to do that to keep me motivated to stay in shape! and feel great. I was very impressed with the over atmosphere at IRON very upscale and again I loved the open space plan. Pros: great parking more

Location, Location, Location 10/26/2009

I've been at Iron since August. It's right off the freeway, I come in from Encino and work near the beach, so I'm in and out. Love the...parking lot. In and out. Probably the only place within blocks with no meter. Iron has every weight I need, but the best part is the machines. New video track treadmills - I've been at Bodies in Motion and LA Fitness by the 405/101, Iron has tons better stuff. Great vibe, John's gr8 too. Pros: Parking, New Stuff more

best atmosphere and a killer boxing room! 10/21/2009

Iron just opened and a friend of mine had told me to go check it out. I was blown away. By far the best gym on the west side. I gave my notice to Equinox and am joining Iron. Its clean and the equipment is so nice. It also has a boxing room that is unlike Ive ever seen in any other gym. I was so impressed with the boxing trainer who gave me a workout that i signed up on the spot! Pros: clean, beautiful place, the best boxing room in Los Angeles more
