IRON Santa Monica - Santa Monica, California

Found Iron Fitness thanks to a friend using ClassPass. Dropped in for a lift and was really glad I did. This place has everything you might need.. and is awesome. Outdoor area with weights and plenty of open space, a ‘slam ball against wall’ section, upstairs cardio equipment, tons of strength free weights and newer machinery first floor.. everything was clean (so you felt good being there) and the space wasnt crowded at all

Brian at the front desk went above board to ensure we were looked after, big kudos!

Iron Fitness SM is an excellent place to call your “gym home.” The facility is well kept and clean, with a terrific collection of equipment to give your muscles the variety it needs to build a stronger body. The equipment is well maintained and in great condition. Members, trainers and staff respectful and the weights are always returned the the right place. Important for those who have ever trained at gyms where you cannot find matching dumbbells. Definitely a top notch fitness facility! And…there is free parking available!

Great gym for lifting weights. They have a lot more free weight equipment than the average gym and I never have to wait around for a squat rack. Cool little outdoor area too is fun to use to get some fresh air while working out. Definitely recommend for anyone who loves free weights

I have been training here for almost 2 years, the staff and trainers are very friendly and helpful, they have tons of equipment 5 squat racks and also an outside area. The recovery room with a sauna and cold plunge is pretty dope. Because the gym is low key you also see celebrities training here daily which is pretty cool.

The gym is small but has all of the things you need and is clean. In my experience it never feels overly crowded/overwhelming (though I suppose it depends on what time you come in). I've been coming here for about 6 months. I usually don't have to wait long or at all for a machine/station to be available. Parking is included which is nice.
My main complaint is that I wish they were open later on the weekends and week days.

Great gym, have been training here for over 2 years now. Members are great and so are most of the staff. Parking situation is great, which could be a pain at many gyms in the city or they try to charge extra. Huge variety of quality equipment, lots of free weights, and different areas to do different things. Quality cardio equipment too, a handful technogym treadmills, stair master, several bikes, assault bikes, Jacob’s ladder, etc. Outdoor area one of my favorite parts about the gym, I love working out under the sun.

And during my time here, you can tell the owner really cares about his gym, because he continues to reinvest in it on a regular bases, whether it was expanding the outdoor area, or adding additional free weights, changing out machines that’ve reached their useful life, and by adding to the overall offering. Personally, I don’t like working out in a huge mall-like environment, I like to zone in and get an efficient workout in, in a clean, well equipped, and welcoming environment.

My only two constructive comments would be, I believe the recovery room should be included in the membership fees, and they should charge people who book it a la cart who aren’t members, such as via ClassPass. And secondly, I wish they’d open at 5am again and close at 10pm M-F, and close at 7pm on the weekends instead of 5pm.

Least friendly and welcoming staff I’ve ever encountered. Asking to bring the music down gets you laser eyes, asking for paper towels in the bathroom is ignored.

Never seen a trainer around, but you often see people doing very strange things with the equipment.

Bathroom is filthy and small. Very expensive for what it offers.
