Iron Core Gym

My son joined the kids summer program with Sel &he's loved it! Can't wait for next summer with hopes she continues 🤞🫶

This is Texas. South Texas at that. And summer time. This gym was apart of my blue cross blue shield fitness plan so I figured I'd slip planet and workout here for a day. Got signed up for an account, super easy. Guy was very friendly and explained everything well. The front room was a little air conditioned? Had some older cardio equipment which was nice. But still rather dated. But it worked, and that's what's important. Walked through to the actual gym, and was at first excited. Then very disappointed. It was that old school iron plate, ivanco dumbbell, smells like grit gym. Then I started to notice how badly maintained the machines are. The ones that had the padding in any sort of operational order were out of order. The ones that you could use, mostly, we're so far beat up I was a bit grossed out and didn't do a lot of the machines that I wanted to. That being said they did have sanitation bottles everywhere for you to wipe down the equipment. So it was clean. They did have two smith machines and a couple power racks, which were in good working order. And all the bars themselves had great knurling and we're pretty nice. So the Texas thing? Why say all that? It's an open air, no ac, and a few poorly placed fans gym. It's uncomfortablely hot. Most everyone smelled okay but honestly it was too hot to get in a good workout. Had the machines been in better condition it might be a little different. But unfortunately with the state of the machines and how hot it was I'm going to cancel my membership, mostly because I wouldn't be utilizing it. If they had the machines re-covered they machines wouldnt be that bad. Friendly. Absolutely. Clean? It was despite the padding on some machines Well maintained and worth coming back? For this reviewer, no.

What a gym !! Great atmosphere people are friendly. I’ve been coming to this gym for about 1 yr and love it , it’s like a huge family here . Highly recommend this place to everyone. I rant this gym to all my friends and colleagues clientele..Recently they opened a shake bar and it’s so so good . Thank you Iton core for all that you do . It’s not unnoticed!❤️

This is the best gym I have ever been too. The owners are so friendly and talk to everyone in the gym and make this gym feel like home. The employees are so encouraging and hard working. The environment is so encouraging and uplifting. I’ve been here the last couple of years and have made progress here because of how comfortable I feel coming here. Everyone treats each other with respect and helps each other out. HIGHLY recommend this gym. I also feel safe when I come here late at night or early in the morning.

Very picky about gyms, but I actually had a great experience at iron core. They had good machines, good amount of dumbbells, and a good atmosphere. Came in on a day pass and the front desk was super friendly and helpful which I really appreciated! However I did find the actual gym section wasn’t the cleanest (people not wiping down their machines) but every other part and the restrooms were clean, so no complains there. I definitely will be back!

The previous gym I was at before I felt a little judge and I didn’t have much motivation. When I first signed up at iron core , I felt very comfortable and I liked that during the process of signing up it was easy and fast . My first day there I felt very comfortable and not judged by anyone there . I like knowing that everyone is to themselves and it’s an old school gym. I also like that their Instagram page shares your story when you tag them ,I think that’s really neat and nice of them ! I would suggest this gym to any of my friends or family !

1000% recommend Iron Core --- They consistently update their equipment and has everything I look for in a serious gym. The community is friendly, and the owners are incredibly kind and go above and beyond to ensure your comfortability and meet your fitness needs.
