Iron Legion Strength Co.

Fantastic experience: My friend Alecia encouraged me to join her at Iron Legion in 2018. I had never trained before and wasn’t sure what to expect. I had always felt intimidated at the gym and at a loss of where to start. The Iron Legion team helped me create a plan that worked for me and didn’t pressure me to lose weight. I have had the opportunity to receive training from many of the coaches during my four years - they all have been wonderful teachers and motivators! I feel healthy and strong! I love this gym!!

Fantastic experience: Working out at the Legion isn’t anything remotely close to that stereotypical gym experience one might expect walking into a new gym. Let’s face it, it can be really nerve wracking to begin working out period if it’s not something you’re used to doing, but know you need to. It’s worse when the anxiety of going to a public gym cripples your ability to do so. If this sounds familiar, the Legion is for you. I see people from all walks of life progressing towards their goals within this community, and you can ask anyone of them about their coach and I’m sure they’ll be happy to tell you about them. I work out with Andrew, and let me tell you, he embodies all the above and then some. He leads by example, works every day to perfect his craft, shows up with enthusiasm every day, you name it. He helps me lift confidently and more importantly, safely. I went almost a decade without working out before starting at the Legion with Andrew, but now I’m hitting new strides every month it feels. I struggle a lot with depression too, so on days where I know I need to work out, I know I can show up and put my work in without speaking much of a word if I’m not feeling quite right. I’ll tell you what though, by the end of our session, I tend to have a renewed vision and energy for the day (it’s only 9am by then), and Andrew plays a huge role in supporting me through those struggles. So not only is he a coach in the gym, he’s a friend outside of it as well and it’s this level of “know your client” awareness that makes Andrew and the rest of the staff so valuable. So again, if you’re afraid of getting to the gym, the Legion removes that barrier making now a better time than ever to start becoming that next new and improved version of you!

Fantastic experience: I started at Iron Legion in late December of 2020; I'm not exaggerating when I say that it is the BEST decision I've ever made for my mental, and physical health. My Coach is Andrew Herman and he's literally changed my life! I started with some excess weight, but also some very debilitating physical issues...they are all GONE!! My back and shoulder pain is gone! My Nutrition has also totally changed, and it feels so amazing! I eat a lot; I choose differently than I used to, and Coach Andrew taught me how! He's been not only an incredible mentor and teacher, but a friend. My confidence, even my marriage, is better, because of my experience here. The whole staff is friendly, NON-JUDGEMENTAL, and amazing. If I could give this place Five MILLION stars I would!!

Fantastic experience: I would never venture into the weight room of a gym. I was scared of the big guys and loud noises and had no idea of what to do. Iron Legion is a super inclusive and safe place for people like me to strength train. Working with Coach Andrew has changed my life, I am stronger, more empowered and no longer scared of the “big guys”. He is super passionate about his work and innovative in his approaches to training. He identifies my weak aspects of movements and teaches me to strengthen them. He’s very curious about what’s going on with clients and helping to support them in most effective way possible. I also work with Andrew on nutrition. As a woman who has struggled with an eating disorder most of my life, our work feels like the most sane approach to rebuilding a healthy, balanced relationship with food. I’m in my mid forties and I feel stronger and more grounded than I ever have in my body. Lots of love and gratitude for Andrew and Iron Legion!!

Fantastic experience: In the middle of 2020, I found myself experiencing a dire combination of personal struggles and global trauma. I felt like I was at a crossroads in my life. Give up on myself completely, or try to make whatever change for the better that I could, and realize that if I could do it then, I could do it forever. That said, I was nervous. I had no idea what I was doing, and a fat nerdy guy doesn’t “belong” at the gym besides. That’s when I saw a post for the Iron Legion Strength Company. I had my doubts; half a dozen previous attempts at various gyms and fitness programs has let me down, and left me feeling like I let myself down. But their motto, “Lift Heavy, Be Kind,” was enough to push past my doubts, and give me a sense that maybe that was a place someone who wasn’t the “typical” gym type could still find success. 2 years later, joining that gym has turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. In some respects, it saved my life. The team at Iron Legion, and Coach Andrew H. specifically in my case, have taught me what I can do, have taught me to love and trust in myself and my body, and have taken my from a dude that couldn’t imagine enjoying a workout, much less looking forward to them, to a dude that gets grumpy when he misses one of his 3 weekly sessions. Props and a big thank you to coach Andrew, owner Scott, and the whole Iron Legion crew; I count myself lucky to be a part of your gym.
