Iron Lion Performance — Local services in New York

I've been working out at Iron Lion since late 2022 and have never found a gym quite like it. I'm always excited to go to my weekly sessions, which after this many months of working out consistently is truly a feat for any gym. Their approach to semi-private training is really effective and they take a very informed approach to sports fitness, breathing exercises, and addressing body compensation tendencies to build you to a better foundation for performing the movements that align to helping people achieve their fitness goals. I'm constantly being monitored by one coach or another at the gym to make sure I'm moving safely and while I'm generally assigned to one or two specific coaches for each workout, it's not uncommon for a different coach to observe something I could be doing better and help me improve what I'm doing in real time to maximize safety and effectiveness. I also am about to complete an 8-week nutrition program with ILP that's re-shaped my approach to eating in a way that feels sustainable versus the fad/crash diet approaches I've tried and failed at maintaining results from. Also, as I am someone who struggles with chronic pain issues I've found everyone at ILP to be super knowledgeable about exercises to do and things to avoid, and my monthly custom program is designed with these things in mind to help not only avoid further aggravation, but actually progress toward no longer having the pain as a setback at all. All in all I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is chasing sustainable and progressive fitness goals. I see men and women of all ages, shapes, and sizes at ILP and each one always has someone (or several someones) who is observably, actively invested in helping them achieve their specific goals. It's really an impressive place and I consider myself lucky I get to...

Can’t say enough positives about the crew at Iron Lion. Chris, Jason, Haley, Ricky, Troy, Kostas, Destiny and Andrew are great people. They really do their best to give this place the welcoming community vibe that keeps people coming back.

This place is like no other gym experience I have had. Individualized programs and the most knowledgeable staff that is always there for one on one instruction. There are always fun monthly challenges and social events. It truly is a place I look forward to going.

Two years ago, I was out of shape and all kinds of unhealthy. Since joining Iron Lion, I’ve gotten in the best shape Of my life. I competed in a gym sponsored Strength Challenge, 6 Spartan Races (with other members and Jason) and began learning BJJ. It all started with the assessment with Chris (the owner). Every month since has been challenging and has made me seek new challenges inside and outside the gym. The coolest part is that the coaches can cater my monthly program to get me ready for any event coming up.

Lastly, if you have any kind of injuries but want to get back after it, this is your place. I had double hernia surgery a while back and was back in the gym after 2 weeks with a program to rebuild my body. I credit my fast recovery to the work I put in before the surgery and was back to deadlifting double body weight in 5 months time. I see the coaches working with people with more serious injuries than mine. everyone gets stronger if they stay the course and you will have the support and knowledge to get there.

Definitely, give this...

I had an amazing experience at Iron Lion Performance!

From the moment I walked in, their team made me feel right at home. The semi-private sessions they offer are truly a game-changer. Not only did I get expert guidance on addressing my back issue while improving month over month, but I also found myself establishing a consistent workout routine for a couple of years now. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and tailored each of my monthly program to my specific needs, ensuring I made progress while staying safe. I'm amazed by the results I've achieved and couldn't be happier with my decision to join this community.

As someone with a consistent back problem combined with a busy work schedule, I was initially hesitant about diving into establishing a consistent workout habit. However, the trainers' expertise and personalized approach allowed for focused attention on form and structure, and I never felt overwhelmed. Over time, my back issues started to improve, and I witnessed a huge boost in my overall fitness levels. The positive and motivating atmosphere of the gym kept me engaged, and I'm genuinely grateful for the transformation I've undergone with their support.

All in all, I can't recommend Iron Lion Performance enough for anyone looking to make a huge positive change in their fitness journey, especially if dealing with specific...
