NCFIT Iron Strong Athletics

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training here for almost 2 years now, and it’s truly been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I had never done CrossFit or lifted weights before joining, so I was definitely a bit nervous at first — but the community here is incredibly welcoming and inclusive, and all the coaches are truly amazing. A special shoutout to Coach Joe, who was so attentive and supportive when everything was new and unfamiliar to me — his guidance really helped me build confidence and improve safely. The programming is excellent — always challenging but adaptable, and it keeps things interesting. They also offer a running class, which completely transformed my relationship with running. Huge cheer for Coach Nora for helping me fix my form and actually start enjoying running (something I never thought I'd say!)

Fantastic experience: Having never done any sort of HIIT workouts, this gym helped me get into Crossfit. Never felt overwhelming and is super flexible for people (both beginner/experienced). Coaches are professional and will ensure your form is great, at all times. The programming is fun, and the time spent on warmup is very helpful to get body ready for intense workouts. I miss the gym for sure, now that I am moving out of the area.

Positive experience: Awesome gym! I love the trainers! But the only thing is that they need more flexible hours. Still a great facility, tho.

Fantastic experience: Iron Strong Athletics is such great place. Kept me consistent and motivated throughout my journey. All the coaches are amazing and always been very helpful and supportive. Special thanks to Coach Joe!

Fantastic experience: Coach Joe is amazing! Nice place, professional, feel welcomed. Also affordable price. Best xfit in the area

Fantastic experience: I recently joined here, and I knew immediately that this was the right place for me. The atmosphere is both friendly and genuine, with a community that truly understands and values inclusivity. After spending about 1.5 years at another location, I realized I needed an environment that is respectful and kind to people of all races and religions. Coach Joe and his wife are incredibly welcoming, and everyone here greets you with a smile. I also appreciate the flexibility to tweak and modify the WOD as needed. I'm thrilled to call this my new home and look forward to continuing my CrossFit journey here.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place, very friendly coaches..welcoming environment for everyone, doesn’t matter whether you are beginner or experienced..they know how to design your workout, how to push you to do more and more. Coach Joe, Erica, Coach Nora, Sam, Jodran, all are awesome..10/10 for their knowledge and willingness to understand you. I never did Gym or Crossfit in my life but this facility and coaches were so good to work with, i feel more comfortable and confident. Big Thanks to all coaches and members..

Fantastic experience: I was new to CrossFit but have to say that this awesome community, supportive coaches & Members teach you all the fundamentals & core movements. Kudos to Coach Sam, Jordan, Amanda, Joe and all the team for creating such a great environment to exercise and to know your body. Give it a try, this place is awesome ! They are so easy to work with, cancel your membership anytime (which I believe you will not unless you are moving out of state). Totally worth it, try it, you are gonna love it.

Fantastic experience: I went to Iron for a while when I lived in New Jersey. I don't live there anymore - and tbh, unrelated to Iron, crossfit and crossfit-type workouts aren't really my thing - but this gym randomly just came to mind and I thought, "gee, I hope Iron is still open. They're such nice people." and I'm so happy to see it is! Super friendly owners and a good community of people. Prior to going there, I thought crossfit/crossfit-type gyms were only for the super buff and serious. There's a place for those folks at Iron, but also a place for regular people just trying to get stronger! Five stars for Iron.

Fantastic experience: I'm so glad I found Iron Strong Athletics . It's great for people of all athletic abilites and ages. The coaches are very knowledgeable and make sure you execute each movement safely. The members are extremely kind and supportive of one another! Many people are intimidated to try crossfit, but Iron is for everyone!

Fantastic experience: Love this place!

Fantastic experience: Friendly coaching staff, organized programming and competitive pricing. This gym caters to all types of people looking for a competitive workout or starting to get into fitness. Joe makes it a point to ensure every member is spoken to and given attention at every class. Highly recommend !

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this gym for almost a month and I love it here. When I first came in to talk to one of the owners, after inquiring about the gym online, I was super intimidated by the environment because all I knew were at home YouTube workouts and I had been to another CrossFit gym prior and had a negative experience. However, coach Joe was very welcoming and made me feel at ease so I decided to try it out. The best part is that they let you try three classes for free before committing to a membership. The classes are challenging but the coaches will help accommodate the workouts to your fitness level and they are super knowledgeable and friendly. After training here I can’t see myself going back to a traditional gym.

Fantastic experience: My happy place. 4 years later and I still love this place. The community and support are like no other, I’ve never been healthier or in better shape. I love getting stronger and being better. Don’t hesitate to try it out and challenging yourself.

Fantastic experience: GREATEST GYM AROUND ! From coaches to members all around great people

Fantastic experience: Much more than just a gym- it completely transformed me. I’m a member for 3 years- lost 110 lbs in my first 18 months-now 60 years old and getting stronger and faster. The coaches and community are so positive, knowledgeable and dedicated that working out is fun. I’ve belonged to other gyms in the area. They were fine but the attitude was basically “there’s the stuff, knock yourself out.” At Ironstrong the coaches and community inspire and encourage while making sure your workouts are on point and you will not do anything to hurt yourself. You will get stronger, faster and improve mobility. The coaches are super energetic and amazingly well trained- not just in generic working out but also in specialties like nutrition, running, Olympic lifting etc. I highly recommend Ironstrong Athletics!!

Fantastic experience: a great place to be. Great workout community. the coaches are on point and are always watching to make sure your movements are correct to prevent injuries. highly recommended if you’re looking for great workouts with fantastic bunch of people

Fantastic experience: Iron Strong Athletics is the greatest fitness center I have ever belonged to. The owners Joe and Danielle and their All-Star coaches will welcome you, support you and challenge you. We get individual attention in energy packed group classes. The classes have increased my energy, muscle mass, endurance and overall physical fitness. We have the best community at Iron Strong!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Iron since August 2018. Immediately, I felt at home, not because I was familiar with the work outs or the equipment because that was not the case at all! The owners, coaches and all the members create a great space for all abilities. The owners, Joe and Danielle Fraser, have created a place where I’ve learned to meet challenges with confidence. I’ve never enjoyed sweating so much in my life! All the coaches focus on safety first and help you build towards all your goals. The community is friendly, and inspiring. Don’t hesitate to come visit. You will be hooked! My only regret is that I didn’t find it sooner!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality This place is the absolute best - everyone is friendly, kind, supportive and welcoming, and the classes are so fun and challenging. The coaches are amazing and really help you get to your goals and make amazing gains and progress! I'm so happy I joined and I can't wait to continue progressing here!!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been members since 2016. Clearly the programming, owners, coaching staff, community and results have been incredible for us to maintain our membership for 5 years. We joined as strangers but the inclusive community makes us feel like a part of a family. The owners truly care about their members and that showed through their adaptive programming strategy all through the 2020 quarantine. If you’re looking for a healthy lifestyle change and a strong community to support you then Iron Strong Athletics is your place!

Negative experience: The workouts and coaches (and co-owners of the gym) are awesome, but that's where the positive review stops. The gym feels like a "high school cafeteria" where everyone has their own clique -- if you are new to the gym, you are an outsider immediately. There is no "community" feeling unless you are part of this clique. The owners often have socials as a way to connect with new members, but other than the initial "Hey, how are ya" .. the whole thing breaks down into your typical "crossfit social hierarchy". If you are willing to workout in isolation (and be a lone wolf) this is a great place, but like most people who are "new" to the world of crossfit who don't know what's going on, the coach will keep an eye on you and your form, but don't expect any other members to be social towards you and be ready to be accept that you are entering a very intimidating environment (at least I felt that). Other than the lack of a "community", this place is cool.

Fantastic experience: This was the first gym I checked out and immediately loved everything about it; their coaches are amazing and supportive, workouts are challenging, and the overall community is welcoming and very genuine. Going to the gym has become fun, even at 6am. Recommended to friends, and will continue to recommend to anyone looking for a great environment to get in shape and laugh at the same time.

Fantastic experience: After a lot of gym hopping around, I finally landed in Iron… having never tried CrossFit earlier I was nervous and was not sure if this would be for me. But from the day 1 I felt right at home, the coaches are amazing, the programming is brilliant.. it’s challenging and will push you but the support from the coaches and fellow members is amazing. You feel like a super human who can accomplish things you never thought you could. The owners Coach Joe & Danielle take a lot of effort to make sure this is the best gym around. It’s been 3 years and have enjoyed the gym and I feel am in the best shape of my life.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever! Been going to Iron for about 4 years. The community is awesome! After going to different gyms for the last 20+ years, this was the only place I saw results fast and broke through plateaus! It was never intimidating because everyone was supportive, no matter what your ability, age, etc. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great gym!

Fantastic experience: Life changing fitness and personal training with a culture second to none

Fantastic experience: I've been with Iron CrossFit for two years now. I joined as someone completely new to CrossFit, and now 2 years later I have some experience with this type of training so I feel I can provide some perspective about this gym that would benefit folks wherever they may be in their CrossFit journey. First of all, the owners Joe and Danielle and all of the other trainers at Iron CrossFit are an amazing group. They are friendly, knowledgeable, patient and always emphasize safety and proper form. When you're new they take the time to walk you through the movements to make you feel comfortable, and in every workout they provide scaled options if you're unable to perform the movement or routine for any reason. As you progress, the program provides you the room to grow and challenge yourself. I've continued on with Iron CrossFit both because of the quality of their training regiment and the friendly and welcoming culture Joe and Danielle have established. Iron CrossFit truly is a community. If you join, and continue to come, it's almost inevitable that you'll make friends. People are warm and welcoming, and this is a judgement-free zone, regardless of your current fitness level, age or experience. Deciding to start CrossFit has been a game-changer for me personally. Because we log all of our workouts, I can see the progression I've made in the time I've been here. I also want to emphasize that I'm glad I made the decision to join *this* CrossFit box. The quality of the training and the quality of the members and staff make this a gym well worth checking out.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere. The best coaching. Great programming. Very nice people.

Fantastic experience: I came to Iron CrossFit about 7 months ago because I wanted to improve my overall health and fitness (as my long hours as a consultant was taking an overall toll). I first came to Iron CrossFit a little bit nervous (having heard stories about the intensity of CrossFit in general from others and with no prior CrossFit experience etc.). However, I found the Coaches extremely welcoming and helpful in ensuring my movements were done in correct form/safe and scaling workouts appropriately. The members are also kind, friendly, and helpful. Additionally as a newcomer then, I was able to take a few classes with no pressure at all to see if I enjoyed CrossFit and if it was something I wanted to continue with. All that to say is that I absolutely love Iron CrossFit-the challenging workouts, the coaches, and the members. So if you’re trying CrossFit for the first time or whether you’re a seasoned CrossFitter, don’t hesitate to try Iron CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: Friendly people. Great coaches.

Fantastic experience: Great programming, great coaches, great community. Pricing is also more reasonable compared to some other boxes I've been to in the past.

Fantastic experience: This place is everything that a gym should be. The community is fantastic, the coaching is fantastic, just everything's fantastic. There is a huge emphasis on form in all the movements, and there are periods of time before the WOD given to work on each movement, and there's always options for beginners: if it's weightlifting, use a lighter weight and work on form before you go heavy. If it's a gymnastic movement, like muscle ups, work on transitions or do ring dips, etc. Plus, there's always open gym hours if you need more time to work on a movement(s) some more. The WOD's are doable and always leave you feeling like you got a good workout. And the coaches really take it seriously and are always willing to correct your form and make it better. Thanks to the coaches, I've been able to accomplish more in a year and a half than I ever thought possible. ] Long story short, if you live in the area and are looking for a good gym, check this place out.

Fantastic experience: I love the sense of community and the attention to proper form and personal development.

Fantastic experience: Love it!

Fantastic experience: Great coaching. Great programming. Great community.

Fantastic experience: Great programming, great coaching, and great people! Every class has a diverse mix of athletes, all of whom are like-minded in their goal of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The feeling of accomplishment and sense of camaraderie after a class at Iron Crossfit North Brunswick is almost indescribable and must be experienced to believe!
