The Iron Asylum Gym

Fantastic experience: I joined the day it opened and it’s only gotten better and better. The owners have poured their heart and soul into this place and it shows. It cost a little more than your run of the mill corporate gyms but you get what you pay for. Yes there are contracts, and yes it is fully explained to you when you sign up, no lawyer necessary to navigate the language of it. All the equipment you could want and constantly adding on and improving.

Fantastic experience: The Iron Asylum is a great gym. They have enough equipment that you don't feel like you have to figure out what's a good time to go. I'm always comfortable when going. For a small business owned gym the owners makes sure they think about the customers and listen to any concerns I've ever had. My son actually wanted to start working out and I asked for advice to make sure it was safe for his age and they gave me great advice to help with a consistent workout. I highly recommend this gym.

Positive experience: My dad and I attended this gym for around 2 years. No issues until we tried to leave the gym. We both have been charged yearly club fees for SEVERAL YEARS after we have not had membership. Update: The fees were being charged due to the way membership is processed for insurance-based subscription. You have to jump through some hoops to cancel membership to avoid yearly dues. The gym gave my dad some trouble about cancelation, but I was finally able to get both of our accounts off. I guess I won't really know until next year if they charge again.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff. Owner is as real as they come. Deff great atmosphere for the best of the best, an people who wanna level up

Positive experience: Lots of old school equipment.

Fantastic experience: Not gonna lie, as a female I was skeptical of this gym. I decided to give it a shot and it turned out to be a great decision. This place is awesome! They literally have EVERYTHING and still growing!!! The owner is a great guy who’s always looking for ways/ideas to provide for his members. If you’re looking for a good place to workout, this is definitely your spot!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Longview hands down!! Best gym I've ever stepped foot in. Tons of equipment to do any style of training you choose. Great staff!! Owner is super cool. All around great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Old school great gym awesome atmosphere

Fantastic experience: The best gym to work all over with several different pieces of equipment to use.

Fantastic experience: I just went through the gym, I'm thinking about switching from the former Elite Gym now Pro Flex. The Asylum definitely has all the equipment needed and then some. I love that they have a section setup for nothing but calves. So many so called gyms have little to no calf equipment. Bodybuilding can be difficult in some of the fitness centers theses days.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in East Texas. Has the most equipment great staff love this place.

Fantastic experience: Good atmosphere. Great place.

Fantastic experience: Cool place

Fantastic experience: The best Gym in East Texas. More machines and equipment than any other place. If you’re not making gains here, it’s not the gyms fault.

Fantastic experience: The best gym to go to in Longview for all your hardcore lifting needs! They have equipment that you will not find in this city!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Longview hands down! Shep and Mike are the nicest! I've been to all the gyms in Longview and this beats them hands down

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town, not your fancy spa gym... This is a hardcore gym

Fantastic experience: I've only been working out for a year, over at Gym Box, but this is definitely a gym to help me get to the next level in my workout. Diverse equipment, extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff, and atmosphere, this gym has it all.

Fantastic experience: Strongman equipment and bodybuilding equipment it's a great gym to go to.Staff very helpful great to talk to great equipment as well.

Fantastic experience: Pros: Friendly staff, owner is super nice, there is a plethora of bodybuilding and strongman equipment that you won't find at any other gym. Price per month is slightly higher than other gyms, but the increase in quality definitely accounts for that. Cons: For those who work long shifts, the gym closes at 10, which in my experience is fairly early compared to most gyms. In addition, although there is a wide variety of equipment, there are only two squat racks in the entire gym, both of which are usually filled up.
