Gaby S 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so friendly and very lively gym . I was there only for about a week . I had to move to another gym only because they were not open after 1pm on weekends. I'm not criticizing. It's just that my work schedules were mostly during weekends so I missed a lot of my sessions. The machines here are the best. There are a lot of old school machines even the modern gyms doesn't have . Lastly I love the leg machines here . The muscle activation is something else . The allignment and configuration of those machines are just perfect. I'd love to go back again . Plus they helped me out with my PR test.

Fantastic experience: I cannot rate Ironman highly enough! If you love training then you’ll be spoilt for choice here-every body part has multiple fantastic options! The owner is a multi time bodybuilding champion and has trained 100’s of bodybuilder’s to championship level! There is an atmosphere conducive to hard training and world class equipment !! The bodybuilding Mecca of the North without any doubt!!

Fantastic experience: A superb welcome here by wonderful staff, where as a first visit they treated me as a friend. The gym is floors of the best equipment for both fitness and bodybuilding, well worth a visit.

Laur 94 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Honestly the best gym I’ve been to by far! I travel from Essex every so often and always make sure I make time to visit. No nonsense, serious training gym for people who really want to see a change in their body. The staff are really friendly and are happy to offer advice. There’s lots of choice of machines to work with. A handful of machines are exclusive to the gym as the owner designs them himself to target specific muscle groups and they really do work! All I can say is, if there was an Ironman near me I’d be way beyond the point I am now in my training. Highly recommend!

Adam Smith 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Tried it for a day, it's an amazing gym for those serious about their workout! The people are knowledgeable and extremely encouraging, there is loads of equipment to choose from and the music gets you really pumped (mostly heavy metal from what I heard). If you are serious about body building then you have to give this gym a try.

Colin Peterson 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: My favourite gym in Preston, great atmosphere and has all the equipment necessary. Reasonable one-off training costs or monthly memberships with no yearly contracts. Well worth checking out.

Adam Murray 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you like pop music and standing around talking about the soaps etc this gym isn't for you. This gym has a dungeon feel to it, with heavy metal screaming out of the speakers (No Britney spears here) and the clanging of metal from the equipment inside. The gym is very well equipped, although basic, it has everything you need. The support from the trained staff will give you advice about training what to do and when to do it. Also nutritional advice so you can get the most and best from your body. This certainly is a Hardcore gym, the staff are friendly and the other gym users are great too. I would highly recommend anyone serious about Bodybuilding. This is your gym.
