Old School Iron Gym: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great gym great culture.. but dont buy a day pass just pay 4 a week or month and that way u can try everything! They have some great machines! And some fun strongman equipment.
Fantastic experience: Went here a handful of times while I was in Cleveland for work. The gym is fantastic, and there is a great range of equipment available. I really appreciate the number of available deadlift platforms and squat racks. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and I had no issues working out there.
Fantastic experience: Best Place on Earth!
Fantastic experience: So I visited the place just to scope it out. I plan on renting a lane tomorrow so I will continue this review after that.
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Numerous machines for any muscle that you can think of. And sure training with a personal trainer is the best . Big Mike is the Best!
Positive experience: 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 of offerings.
Fantastic experience: The widest selection of machines, coaches, and classes. It is the best environment and always able to workout unbothered.
Fantastic experience: This is the gym you want to be at. Tons of old school and modern equipment phenomenal environment and great staff. Whether traveling or a local, there’s no other place to train period.
Fantastic experience: Great gym but the trainers area could use some love
Fantastic experience: 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 again Emily!
Fantastic experience: Great place to train. Best in Cleveland!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Cleveland
Fantastic experience: Looooooooooooooved it. Everything in a gym I need it plus more much more
Fantastic experience: Have been to a ton of gyms and I have to say this is probably the best one I’ve been to. New member for just a few months now but it’s always clean and has a ton of awesome equipment you do not typically see in other gyms
Fantastic experience: My friend Rob used to love working out especially here. He recommended this place before he stopped working out. I'll get him back! Great Gym 10/10.
Fantastic experience: Been a member since 2020. Excellent gym! Excellent staff and a great atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Best gym around
Fantastic experience: Very friendly the host up front was nice and helpful.. will return
Fantastic experience: Best damn gym in The Land. Has virtually anything you need and a BIG space.
Positive experience: Great gym but the elliptical and bike machines are broke
Fantastic experience: Will definitely be in there next time I’m in town
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym! Rolling for the first time excellent fundamentals class. Can’t wait to come back!
Negative experience: The people there are friendly and I like the equipment, but there’s lots that are broken. Also, the roof leaks constantly and dirty water will just drip on you. There’s buckets everywhere to catch the water instead of just fixing the roof. Half the cardio equipment is broken and the fans have a solid 3 inches of dust on them. It’s honestly becoming a health hazard.
Fantastic experience: Great place, people are great, lots of equipment and trainers to work with.
Fantastic experience: Just started attending this amazing gym, I invested in a P.T name Errol, he is amazing as well. The gym, the atmosphere, the people are all awesome.
Fantastic experience: Official West side Barbell affiliate gym with a huge selection of equipment and room to workout. The atmosphere is relaxed but really makes you want to push yourself too. There are a lot of really wonderful, strong, athletic people that workout here and work here. They have a huge private training facility, athletics area and trainers who are knowledgeable and accountable. Whether you're just strength training, powerlifting, doing mma, or looking for a badass gym this is your place.
Positive experience: This gym makes "TOO" much money for failed equipment and torn items. Money pit fr, but the people are ok
Fantastic experience: Awesome!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Cleveland for sure
Fantastic experience: Massive gym. Tons of equipment. Worth a stop for anyone who needs quality strength equipment.
Fantastic experience: It’s a good gym. It’s a little pricy some might argue, which to a certain degree I’d agree. However, keep in mind you are paying for a lot of floor space (the gym is pretty spacious). Lots of different types of equipment for various body parts that some gyms wouldn’t ever have. But most importantly it’s the experience/atmosphere you are paying for. The vibe in this gym is like no other. The older equipment, the graffiti on the walls, loud music playing, it’s just a whole vibe in itself there. I’d recommend at least trying a day pass there to get a feel for it if you’d like it, then consider purchasing a membership from there.
Fantastic experience: This is a real gym goers gym. One of the biggest selections of equipment I’ve ever seen while also having plenty of options for traditional lifting. OSI is my happy place.
Fantastic experience: The Best OSI GYM In Ohio I Love it Friendly Staff and The Owner is Awesome and Very Clean Happy Place make your Workouts Done ❤️
Negative experience: fairly expensive and negatives outweigh the positives. lots of breakdown that make equipment nonfunctional and hate the amount of adjustable equipment that is fixed in a position I cannot use. love the space, but if you not a “gym culture” person this ain’t it
Fantastic experience: Great old school gym. Staff and members are some of the best I have been around in the country
Positive experience: I've been coming here for years and it's slowly becoming a wannabe influencer gym. People set up cameras everywhere, stand around and take pictures flexing in the mirror all while hogging machines and weights. And don't even get me started on the people that claim three machines at once for super sets. I've had my workouts cut short on numerous occasions because people just will not move on and stand at the same machine for 45 minutes. Every bench is taken, or has a literal line waiting for it. There's a lot of very nice people here but the bad outweighs the good. Unfortunately after 6 years I'm switching gyms
Fantastic experience: Exactly as described - old school iron gym. Older machines but functioned well. The place was clean and not too busy. $16 for a day pass though.
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Ohio and personal trainer Dejan amazing and the nicest person!!!
Fantastic experience: I got a guest pass for the day and it was $16. Well worth every penny. This gym has a wide variety of leg and back equipment. There was not much for a shoulder or chest day, but that wasn't a big issue for me. I was very impressed with the equipment selection from Nautilus, Icarian, and Strive! There are two areas of free weights so you're able to go to different areas during busy times.
Fantastic experience: Superior, as usual! Filled with beautiful people and badass equipment. Everything you need!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in the NEO (maybe even Ohio), equipment wise and atmosphere. More than enough equipment to keep you moving if something you were going to use is taken. This gym is not your typical gym, you will be motivated just by walking through the doors. Good vibe and good people to help you along the way.
Negative experience: 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 thanks to big mike
Fantastic experience: Feel like home, friendly atmosphere
Fantastic experience: Serious machines for workouts definitely recommend this place for it
Negative experience: I’ve been a long time member of this gym here is the reason why I’m giving it one star. This gym needs to be organized again some other equipment needs to be updated because it’s breaking down frequently and come on man arrange the 1980s put some more lights in there.
Fantastic experience: The absolute BEST GYM I've ever set foot in so far!!! ALWAYS enjoy the atmosphere and equipment is TOP NOTCH!!!
Fantastic experience: If there was a 10 star rating , they would get it. Great place.
Fantastic experience: Best free weight, strongman, powerlifting, and anything else you need in the Cleveland area!
Fantastic experience: Great place! Wish they had one down in SW FL.
Fantastic experience: Best gym around for sure. All the equipment uiu could use, some really cool pendulum prices for back and legs. We always make sure to train legs because of the power squat pro
Positive experience: I’ve never seen the amount of machines and professional equipment at any other gym in this area.
Fantastic experience: The most ridiculous freaking Awesome gym I've ever visited!!!!!! EVER!!!!!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic environment
Fantastic experience: Best public powerlifting and bodybuilding gym in the tri-state area
Fantastic experience: Hardcore environment! Great equipment. Serious lifters. Definitely the place to workout if you’re seeking an intense gym when living or visiting Cuyahoga county, Ohio. Shout out to my boy, ‘Big Mike’ Ely, fellow IFBB Professional Bodybuilder and personal trainer there!
Fantastic experience: Great place to get in a workout whatever level you are progressing towards. Staff and trainers are too shelf!
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Even when its crowded there are plenty of machines or dumbells available
Fantastic experience: I love this place! It's got a good feel, awesome equipment and good people! A place where you can socialize with other like minded folks and just get your work in! I'd give it 10 stars if I could!
Fantastic experience: Best gym that there is in the area. No contracts, no hidden fees, no cancellation fees, etc… not to mention the equipment that no other gym in the area has. The environment is results driven and the people are nice. The owner knows the members and he doesn’t view members as dollar signs. Best gym hands down
Fantastic experience: Best gym. If you’re into lifting and are looking for an asthetically pleasing gym, look no further. This tops every commercial gym (if you love lifting), there is an abundance of equipment and the gym is very spacious. From day 1 I’ve felt welcomed from the front desk to the friendlt faces in the gym. If you’ve been thinking about switching gyms and stepping up your lifting routine, this is the best place for you!
Fantastic experience: Amazing equipment and great atmosphere, if you aren't having a great workout you're doing something wrong.
Fantastic experience: Full disclosure, I'm new again to the gym life and really focusing on being healthy as I move into my late 30s. That being said, this is an amazing gym for all skill levels. The staff and trainers are great and there is every piece of equipment you could ask for. Sure, it gets busy and sometimes you wait a few minutes to rotate into a particular piece but it's really not terrible. Can't speak more highly of them. 1 year update: Still here. Can't fit through the door without walking sideways. My kitchen is full of healthy food, protein powder and gains. My wife stares at me a lot more. The pump is pumpin'. See you in a year.
Fantastic experience: Great gym for the serious gym goer.

Fantastic experience: TJ is great!

Fantastic experience: I'm a beginner when it comes to working out in a serious manner, and was really skeptical about joining at first. I'm glad I did though, this place is killer! They seem to have everything you'd need to fully train, everyone is kind and more than willing to help you, and they even have trainers as well! New or long time lifter, I'd check it out!
Fantastic experience: Seemed pretty down to earth, clean, lots of equipment for the muscle heads, cardio equipment. It looks like they have equipment for every exercise. I took a zumba class.
Fantastic experience: My all time favorite Gym!

Fantastic experience: Tamkia was a great instructor
Fantastic experience: My all time favorite Gym!
Fantastic experience: Old school iron gym the best gym in the 216
Fantastic experience: It love this place it reminds a lot of the old bodybuilding gyms of the 90s I am new member former competing bodybuilder and current YMCA I am fan of hammer strength weight loaded machines and learning from my trainer who is a competitive powerlifter Highly recommend this place for old school lifters and bodybuilders
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and has everything you could want
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best serious gym in the area. I started going to OSI when they were in Kam's Korner, and they were the best gym around back then as well. Now that they've moved and expanded tremendously, there simply is not a better facility in the area for serious lifters. There's at least 5-6 deadlifting platforms, if that's and indication. I'm so thankful this place exists and has done so well. The owner is a really great and humble guy as well. Really can't ask for more.
Fantastic experience: Imagine the best possible gym. This place will likely surpass it with atmosphere and equipment alone.
Fantastic experience: Amazing atmosphere! and the gym is big enough that you can do your own thing, and not feel intimidated by the power lifters...
Fantastic experience: Phenomenal facility with a TON of equipment and very nice pieces of equipment that alot of gyms do not have. I'll definitely be back !
Fantastic experience: Solid gym!
