Iron Allies Fitness — Local services in South Salt Lake

I’ve been training with Taylor for almost 3 years now, most of it at another gym. The last two months at Iron Allies fitness have been superior for several reasons.

1. The IAF gym has a lot more room! It’s very spacious and bright. Whatever equipment I need to use, I don’t have to dodge and squeeze by other people like I used to in a crowded gym.
2. The bootcamps/group training are fun - and I’m not even a bootcamp/group-type of person! I can be as much a part of the group as I want to be, either really social and laughing with everyone, or kinda off in my own little world Everyone - coaches and clients - is friendly and helpful, and not in a “pushy” sort of way. One-on-one training is always available too - that’s what I do mostly - so...options!
3. This is The Cleanest, Tidiest gym I’ve ever seen. All mats and handles are cleaned every day. Anything on the floor is picked up or cleaned up right away, in any other gym, you’ll come in and see bumper plates, dumbbells, barbells, and kettlebells leaning against a wall, under a bench, on the floor, and mostly not in order of ascending weight. Go to IAF and you’ll find everything where it should be, in order, racked, stacked, and it’s easy to find what you need!
4. The trainers have different personalities, of course, but they are uniformly positive and realistic. Your mobility, balance, and strength will be assessed at your initial visit, and no trainer will ever ask you to do something you cannot functionally do. For every exercise you do, whether you complete 1 rep or 30 reps, you’ll be encouraged and noticed for your effort. All the trainers see you as successful right out of the gate!
5. One of the features I most love about Iron Allies is the free Saturday Seminars. They’re really informative, and there’s plenty of time for questions. Some of my friends couldn’t come to the Saturday Seminar on Nutrition and have asked me when we’ll have another. It was really well-attended, all the attendees had questions, and all questions were answered. Nutrition is either totally neglected or under-emphasized at the several other big-name gyms I’ve been to. These people know the facts and will give them to you straight and complete!
6. Location, location, location. It’s easy to reach off either I-15 or I-80 (the I-215 city loop connects with both). I live 5 miles away and can get there in 10 minutes even using surface streets.
7. Last - and best...FUN! Fitness, health, and nutrition can be fun! Training can be a laugh a minute! If you want to incorporate a little stand-up comedy into your training, the clients and coaches will...

I've been with IAF for 6 months now and I've found my home. I cannot say enough how life-changing it has been. By far the best gym and coaching I've ever had! In 6 months, I've lost 13.6 lbs of body fat (9.3%) all while gaining 3 lbs of muscle. I didn't think that would even be possible for someone like me to lose body fat while still gaining muscle in such short time. But IAF literally supports you the whole way there.

I do the group classes and attend 5 times a week. It's so fun and the coaches are so supportive. Even though there are other people in the class doing the workouts with you, the coaches always come around to help you with form and safety. It's like having a personal trainer each day. I work with Taylor, Cori, and Kim mostly for classes and they are amazing!

Taylor coaches me and gives me the diet/macros to follow based on my body type and individual goals. I can text questions and meet every 4-6 weeks for a body scan to check-in on my progress. Seriously, if you follow the individualized plan they give you completely, IT WORKS! I've learned SO much from this gym. They've not just helped me get fit and reach my goals, but they engraved healthy habits in me that I will hold on to so that I stay fit.

Probably the BIGGEST reason why this gym has worked so well for me is the supportive environment. They welcome all body types and cultures. You can be who you are at this gym with absolutely no judgement. I brought my partner, Patrick to class and now he's signed on and loves it! He's also seen amazing results in the past several months. I love that the coaches know every person's name in class and they shout out successes we are having not just in the gym, but outside the gym too like for work/personal life. I've met some wonderful friends through IAF. Truly the best gym in Salt Lake. Trust me. You will...

They say that size matters, I agree, when it comes to health and fitness anyway. For many years I have felt uncomfortable about the way I look and having low self esteem didn't make things any easier. Well I came upon this advert on FB and just ignored it, it popped up again several days later, so I figured why not give it a shot, so I joined several weeks ago. It turns out that it was one of my best choices in life, I became a part of a family, the IAF family. Here I met amazing coaches, it wasn't just a job to them, it was a way of life for them helping people become the best of who they were. Nutritional menus to help us achieve a well balanced diet, and a workout that leaves you feeling rejuvenated. I have found myself feeling better about myself and confidence growing. People say that I always comes across confident, little do they realise the masks we have to don in order to survive. I still have my bad days, however thanks to IAF the masks are beginning to peel away just like the fat. Have you ever had anything free in your life? We at IAF are offering you not one but two weeks free trial, bring a spouse or a friend; two weeks for each of you.You have nothing to lose and everything to gain, great coaches like Jennifer, Heather, Cori and Taylor; sorry big guy ladies first. lol. A menu plan to help you eat right, an amazing workout and a fun atmosphere where people really care. And just as important you, feeling better about yourself, come on, start your journey of being the best you. I was recently told, "John have you noticed that when you leave the gym you always have a smile on your face, " for me that says a lot. I look forward to seeing you there, and even more so to working out with you on your new adventure. "We are all butterflies. Earth is our Chrysalis." -...
