Old School Iron Gym — Local services in Brook Park

I am being nice by giving it a 1 star I went in about two weeks ago to look around and asked the front desk for recommendation for personal trainers told her what I was looking for and she acted completely clueless and didn't know what she was talking about then she finally pointed towards the board after 10 minute of awkwardly standing their waiting around got a personal trainers number who goes by big mike contacted him when got home after some back and fourth we schooled a consulting day met up told him my goals and schooled it for next week Tuesday comes around and I realised I wouldn't be able to make it on time because of the massive traffic jam that plagued my freeway and so I did the respectful thing and told big mike I would be late he said sorry I cant do it today then because I cant take you in that late we should reschedule I said I understand and I told him the days I can do he never responded after so a few hours later I texted him again telling him act times I am available. and he never responded so the next morning I called old school iron and asked them about big mike to see if he was available to talk and the front desk said no so I asked the front desk if you could tell him I called the person said sure I told her my name and was hoping maybe he would finally respond he never did you lost a customer at your gym because of your personal trainer I already took my service elsewhere...

One of the best gyms in NE Ohio, especially if your focus is strongman, powerlifting, or aesthetics based.

Really good selection of standard and unique/special machines and cable attachments. The front desk and cleaning crew are always working hard to keep up the inviting environment and cleanliness of the locker rooms and gym area.

Reasons for the 4⭐️ and not 5. Some of the alternative (non-machine) equipment is in abysmal shape and is pretty embarrassing considering how good the rest of the facility is. If you look at pictures that show a nice availability and assortment of medballs, foam rollers, yoga mats, PVC pipes, Swiss ab balls, plyo boxes, ropes, etc. the nice equipment is reserved for the personal training locked area. All of the other equipment of that type in the main turf area is subpar quality, incredibly beat up, or flat out broken and unusable. It’s surprising because the other equipment is fixed quickly, but that area is a graveyard of broken equipment. Lastly, the personal trainers set an lazy example and are big offenders of leaving plates on machines when their clients are done and shift to a different machine; pretty simple and basic gym etiquette not displayed or modeled by OSI associated employees.

Pretty cool they have an in-facility chiropractic and PT office and offer a variety of recovery services in a specialized room. Haven’t tried, but looks like a pretty nice set...

Emily is truly the gold standard of personal trainers! Her expertise, enthusiasm, and personalized approach transformed my fitness journey. With Emily's guidance, I achieved results I never thought possible. Her ability to balance challenge and support is unparalleled. Emily's passion for fitness is contagious, and her energy is infectious.

What truly sets Emily apart, though, is the warm and welcoming atmosphere she creates. Working out with her felt like training with family - she's that supportive, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your success. I couldn't recommend her more highly! If you're looking for a trainer who will help you unlock your full potential, look no further than Emily. 5 stars isn't enough - I'd give her 10 stars if I could! Looking forward to more sessions with her! Thanks...
