IRON GYM — Local services in Playa del Carmen

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Dream Gym for Any Lifter!

This gym is an absolute gem! If you're serious about lifting, this is the place to be. It’s not your typical commercial gym—it’s got that old-school, hardcore iron paradise vibe with a mix of new and timeless retro machines that you rarely see anywhere else. The maintenance is top-notch, and you can tell they take great care of the equipment.

Dumbbells go up to 80 lbs, with at least two (if not three) of each weight. Tons of free weights, barbells, and machines with so many variations that you’ll never get bored. There’s also a dedicated outdoor area with turf for calisthenics and some heavy tires if you want to mix things up. Leg day? No problem. There are plenty of machines to hit your lower body from every angle.

One of the biggest surprises? The music is actually amazing! I usually keep my headphones on at the gym, but here? Took them off. Loved the atmosphere, the hardcore energy, and the perfect workout vibes.

The hospitality was next level. Rodrigo at the front desk was extremely friendly, welcoming, and competent. Even with my horrible Spanish, he had Google Translate ready, making the sign-up process smooth and comfortable. You can tell they care about their members. The gym is well-organized, and they do a great job keeping it clean and tidy.

Now, if you're looking for a place to do cardio in an air-conditioned environment, this probably isn’t the gym for you—but let’s be real, you're in Playa, go outside for that! But if you're here to lift, maintain your training, and maybe even try some cool old-school machines that you don’t see anywhere else, this gym is unbeatable.

Oh, and the price? Only 250 MXN for a full week (!!). Insane value. I could 100% train here year-round without hesitation....

What am amazing little gym, it’s put together for bodybuilding. It’s not a pretty gym and it’s not super modern, it’s put together for you to grow. The owners are great and have a lot of knowledge. It gets hot but who cares your training it’s not the dr office. To the people who left bad reviews or only a couple stars are not what you would call hard. If your soft it’s not the...

Visité The Iron Gym y mi experiencia fue más o menos aceptable. Aquí algunos puntos a destacar:

Equipos: Las máquinas están un poco viejas y necesitan mantenimiento. Las mancuernas no están ordenadas y no se encuentran limpias.

Limpieza: Este es un aspecto crítico donde el gimnasio necesita mejorar. Nadie parece estar a cargo del cuidado y la limpieza de las instalaciones. Los baños no tienen agua y durante casi una semana no había jabón disponible.

Precio: Por el precio que se paga, supongo que está bien, pero hay otros gimnasios mejores en términos de calidad y limpieza.

Ubicación: Si vives cerca, puede ser una opción conveniente.

Recomendaciones: Es fundamental que el gimnasio mejore la limpieza, especialmente en las áreas comunes y los baños. Aunque no sea un gimnasio de súper alta calidad, la salud y la higiene deberían ser prioridades para todos los usuarios.

En general, The Iron Gym puede ser una opción aceptable por su precio y ubicación, pero necesita poner más atención en el mantenimiento y la limpieza de sus...
