This is an amazing fitness studio that will encourage novices and challenge experienced participants to achieve more from their workout routines. I strongly believe that I would not be able to achieve the goals I have set for myself without Ironbound Performance Athletics (IPA for short), the owner Josh, the instructors and my fellow classmates!
I started at IPA after period of inactivity due to a knee injury and Josh with his well trained staff helped me ease into classes with modifications that allowed me to gain the strength and confidence that has propelled me to maintain a regular discipline for over 2 years.
The workouts change daily so it's never boring, the instructors all bring their diverse insights and the sense of community keeps you encouraged, supported and accountable.
IPA is available on the ClassPass app which works for me since I typically travel for work often but I am sure it's more cost effective to be a member. Also, the member portal they have makes it easy to book classes and allows for more flexibility if your...
Read moreAll gyms are similar right? Yes and no. What you are getting with IPA is a community like no other gym you've been to. It is understood that items such as weights and equipment are an important part of a workout, however the reason why IPA stands out from the rest is because of the simple fact that there is a tremendous community of amazing, supportive people who make it a priority in their lives to visit with regularity and make it a part of their routine.

Read moreWhen I first joined IPA I admit I was intimidated. Not only was I an overwhelmed mom to a 3 year old, I was recovering from a severe shoulder injury and had never been to a strength class ever in my life - I had preferred swimming and dance type classes before. My first few classes were challenging to say the least but the support and kindness from the instructors and fellow members made me want to stick with it. I’m still here 2 1/2 years later and find myself significantly stronger and in better shape than I’ve ever been before in my life at 38. The classes are programmed with expertise and always allow for personalization regardless of what level you are at. I enjoy testing my strength now and thinking back to what I was barely able to do when I first started. I especially enjoy the camaraderie that I have with fellow members, we always encourage and...
