I have been going to this gym for a while now and I would like to say that the gym might look small but it has enough machines and such to finish a good workout. Iron Fitness has plenty of cardio machines as well! The front desk is very friendly and are very helpful. The prices are reasonable considering the location and 24/7 access, and I like how Iron Fitness has a student discount too! However, one downside is that some machines tend to be always under maintenance. For example, the plate-loaded seated row machine has been under maintenance for who knows how long, as well as the leg extension machine and the back extension machine. Also, the sink in the washroom on the left has been somewhat broken for a good while. Water sprays back on your legs whenever you try to wash your hands, hopefully that gets fixed soon.
So unlike the other gyms. This is a hardcore strenth traning gym. You can only smell the iron and the sweat. The atmosphere makes you push yourself to training. The price is good. And don't worry about the closing time. The gym even opened on power outage night.
This gym is an amazing local small business gym that not only has that old school muscle man free weight feel but also welcomes the casual gym goer too. IMO, the gym should be supported for standing up to top down political pressures in past years while keeping the ongoing needs of their member’s health and wellness in mind! The owner is a great guy who resolved a billing/membership mishap personally for me. On the customer care front, they hit home runs there too! Excellent gym, very nice staff, and a 24 hour open option that cannot be beat as it is self-guided with a key fob on your schedule any time any day despite rain or snow. Gyms like this need to be kept alive because the big chain gyms were disgustingly cancelling memberships based on personal choices in the winter of 2021/2022 while this amazing gym treated everyone equally despite the choice they made with their bodies. No discrimination or segregation at Iron Fitness Markham. Definitely get a membership here if you live nearby! Thank you again J!
Positives: lots of equipment for weight lifting and cardio, nice helpful staff, 24 hour access. Negatives: not very clean, disorganized, no proper space for stretching, warm/ups cool downs etc
Hardcore gym. Good equipment. Its a small gym though it is hard core training facility. You can use chalk. This is where real lifters go to train. You see bodybuilders and powerlifters there all the time. Just the bathrooms are not that great though otherwise a great place for serious lifters.
Shout-out to Jay from Iron Fitness for helping me out on a Sunday night in my time of need. Iron Fitness is a spectacular gym with spectacular people. Will definitely be coming back next summer.
I spoke to a representative (Female) of the Gym in reference to joining, Her unwillingness to provide service was baffling, I asked about the contract rate for students and non students, as i am moving internationally and need a gym to frequent. Her responses included lip smacking and being generally rude, The gym looked like a solid contender for what im used to in the states though the price is considerably higher even with its lack of amenities. I have family and friends who i intend to train with and will have to put this gym as a strong NO until the customer service matches the equipment inside.
One of the best gyms in Markham. Great for all lifters and fitness fans. Very supportive community and environment to lift in, changed my life.
what's good: you barely ever have to wait for equipment even when it gets busy, everyone's very nice and accomodating, no one complains about chalk usage/noise, 24/7 access, very motivating/inspiring environment as there are lots of serious/accomplished lifters who frequent this gymwhat could be better: wifi is inconsistent, the equipment could be replaced sooner (most of the stuff that was bad got replaced recently though), music is a little cringey sometimes. Also wish they still sold merch like they did in their first year of opening :(
