Ironbound Performance Athletics

Fantastic experience: Great, inclusive and accepting community. Challenging classes but adjustments can be made for any fitness level. And everyone there - both the trainers and the other gym rats - is super nice and welcoming ❤️ S/o to my favorite instructor Melika for introducing me!!!!

Positive experience: Pretty good gym, with great classes, though some coaches can be dismissive and uninterested in your development, but the ones that do care are great. The upside is that the community has plenty of experienced members that are extremely good supporting you on your fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: The only thing I regret is not coming to this place way sooner! I just jointed a couple of weeks ago and I love it! Awesome coaches, helpful, making sure you do workouts properly! Friendly atmosphere! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I've been attending this gym for just over a year. I've tried many other group fitness classes in the area, and while they were good, my progress always plateaued. At this facility, there is an option to push harder and a chance to get stronger, safely, under the eyes of coach, who also demos the moves. Their is a vast range and size of weights, dumbbells, kettlebells, plates, and varied cardio machines like assault bikes, ski erg, rower and treadmills. There are enough class slots 7 days a week to fit with my work schedule. Things I thought I would never do, such as pull ups or run a faster mile, I attribute to this gym. Losing weight, feeling and looking better in clothing is nice too.

Fantastic experience: IPA is a great fitness studio! The classes are full body, kettlebell heavy circuits. I've been going for a while now and i've never been fitter.

Fantastic experience: When I first joined IPA I admit I was intimidated. Not only was I an overwhelmed mom to a 3 year old, I was recovering from a severe shoulder injury and had never been to a strength class ever in my life - I had preferred swimming and dance type classes before. My first few classes were challenging to say the least but the support and kindness from the instructors and fellow members made me want to stick with it. I’m still here 2 1/2 years later and find myself significantly stronger and in better shape than I’ve ever been before in my life at 38. The classes are programmed with expertise and always allow for personalization regardless of what level you are at. I enjoy testing my strength now and thinking back to what I was barely able to do when I first started. I especially enjoy the camaraderie that I have with fellow members, we always encourage and challenge each other.

Fantastic experience: All gyms are similar right? Yes and no. What you are getting with IPA is a community like no other gym you've been to. It is understood that items such as weights and equipment are an important part of a workout, however the reason why IPA stands out from the rest is because of the simple fact that there is a tremendous community of amazing, supportive people who make it a priority in their lives to visit with regularity and make it a part of their routine. This is why this gym is so special. When you look beyond all the things commonly advertised in the industry (facilities, equipment etc) understand the primary reason why you will improve and get stronger is an environment that keeps you coming back time and time again. This is where IPA stands above the pack, as it is a special place unlike any other because of its one of a kind community. I can say with certainty that the experience of being a member has been transformative in my life and is something I could not imagine living without now.

Fantastic experience: IPA has gotten me into amazing shape and has helped me build a great community of friends in Jersey City. Josh, the owner is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also a great teacher and mentor. If I ever move from Jersey City, I will continue to pursue kettlebell and conditioning work in the same way I've been taught here at IPA. Highly recommended for anyone at any level of fitness.

Fantastic experience: I started going to Ironbound probably about a year into the pandemic. I was doing at home workouts but as one knows who lifts weights it’s hard to stay in shape, keep your strength & stay motivated when you don’t have the proper tools. Not only has Ironbound helped me gain my strength back & PR on almost all of my lifts but they have given me a community that is full of support. The motivation & team like spirit really helps to keep me going. I highly recommend for people of all levels of fitness. The workouts are challenging but can always be scaled.

Fantastic experience: I'm a new student here. After two classes I'm in love. So many new toys! I really enjoy the programming. The work out is tough enough to challenge me but I can see that I have a lot of room for improvement. ************** Update: Been a student here for a few months. I'm stronger, faster and fitter. My jiu-jitsu training can be much more intense, I feel fully prepared for ski season, went rock climbing for the first time in a long time and felt super stable. What else can I say....come try a class.

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing fitness studio that will encourage novices and challenge experienced participants to achieve more from their workout routines. I strongly believe that I would not be able to achieve the goals I have set for myself without Ironbound Performance Athletics (IPA for short), the owner Josh, the instructors and my fellow classmates! I started at IPA after period of inactivity due to a knee injury and Josh with his well trained staff helped me ease into classes with modifications that allowed me to gain the strength and confidence that has propelled me to maintain a regular discipline for over 2 years. The workouts change daily so it's never boring, the instructors all bring their diverse insights and the sense of community keeps you encouraged, supported and accountable. IPA is available on the ClassPass app which works for me since I typically travel for work often but I am sure it's more cost effective to be a member. Also, the member portal they have makes it easy to book classes and allows for more flexibility if your schedule changes.

Fantastic experience: Several years ago I had a serious leg injury and while rehabbing decided to change my exercise routine completely. I found Ironbound Performance Athletics and am happy I did. I started out with the a few initial personal training sessions and then have continued with groups classes since. I love the format, pace, and variety of the workouts and the community Josh and the other trainers/coaches are building. I really enjoy the core work, strength training, and mix of cardio. Highly recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I don't know if I've ever loved a workout the way I love IPA. Every morning I come, I give my all (or do my best) and the encouragement I get from Josh & Matt keeps me from giving up. I suffer from upper respiratory illness and I'm used to needing an inhaler before/after too much activity. I've been coming for a few months and my breathing has never been better- I barely use my inhaler before or after classes now! Truly love this place and I thank ya'll for the growth!

Fantastic experience: This place is a gem. Great value for the money and you get a good workout with good people. I unfortunately had to cancel my membership due to personal obligations, but would definitely go back when I can.

Fantastic experience: Friendly people, good workouts

Fantastic experience: Had a class here through class pass and I’m glad I made it. The place looks new, however it was pretty crowded when I went. Even if there was a lot more people than I thought can fit there, the work out was pretty spaced out and there were no issues with a big class. I think the workouts were challenging and interactive. There was some team work and people seemed to enjoy working out there. I would def go back. Friendly staff and nice people at class, made the vibe a good one.

Fantastic experience: Josh is a great owner and trainer. Sign up for the 30 day trial price and you won't be disappointed. Great community and team oriented classes

Fantastic experience: Just started a few weeks ago but i love this gym. Josh is a great trainer and his kettlebell workouts r awesome

Fantastic experience: Great environment, work outs make sweat, every session has a different set up, which helps your body to work more, Josh is a great coach and students are friendly, no attitude, great classes.

Fantastic experience: I signed up for the $99 kickstarter (includes personal training sessions) program and am now a devoted member of IPA. Joshua is a thoughtful and dedicated trainer that keeps the workouts fun and engaging, but always gives me the push I need. Would recommend IPA to everyone looking to improve their fitness level!

Fantastic experience: Best hour of my day! Just finished the first month, $49 trial, here. Amazing!!! Josh, the owner and instructor, is very knowledgeable, professional, and encouraging. Workouts are designed to work for all fitness levels so there is constant room to grow and push yourself which the positive group will help you do. Just moved to the area from near Morristown and I also looked at Base and did their 7-day "trial" there (as if you can try anything in 7 days?) and was very turned off by the typical gym membership BS. Even offered to pay for the full month to try it, they wouldn't budge. NEXT! Crossfit Jersey City was silly expensive because... why charge less if people will pay more? Franchise royalties are expensive. Such a great value for the $160/month for the Group classes that max out at 20.
