FeV Iron Vault Gym

Experiencia negativa: Not enough floor space for mobilizations. Close quarters for the benches near the DBs.

Experiencia fantástica: Good gym. Heavy weights. No BS.

Experiencia fantástica: Great lifting gym. Not busy between 2-5pm. Super friendly staff.

Experiencia fantástica: My first time training in Iron Vault was in May of 2019. I don’t recall how I learned about the gym’s opening, but couldn’t wait to check the place out. I paid for a day pass online and went to check it out. I met James—the owner—that day, who complimented my squat depth (it’s gotten better, but dude made my day), and chatted a little about the gym. Instantly knew he was a capital fellow and I thought to myself, “I really hope this place makes it.” Unfortunately, I wasn’t in a place to join then as I was still a member of the Voldemort of Globo Gyms (hence, it shall not be named…except to say the gym name rhymes with Molds). Well, I’m a member now, and in those 5 years James has built a lifter’s paradise. Rogue Ohio Power Bars, a 28.5 Texas Power Bar, a gazillion multipurpose bars, Texas Deadlift Bar, Rogue Deadlift bar, Texas Squat Bar, chalk, ammonia, a log, wagon wheels, an Eleiko Combo Rack, power racks, half racks, a Rogue Belt Squat, a reverse hyper, a Transformer bar, an Elite FTS SSB, calibrated plates…phew. I know I’ve forgotten something…Oh, and tampons! You get the idea. The best part, though? A homely fat old relatively weak lifter broad like myself is perfectly comfortable here. I’m something of a lone wolf when it comes to my training. But I love to put in some work, get jiggy with it between my sets, talk to myself, and grind. FeV members and staff have been happy to let me do my thang, and you can’t ask for much more than that. Austin is pretty fortunate in terms of quality gym choices, but you can’t get much better than Iron Vault for the price, equipment, oh, there’s also AC. *cue hallelujah singing* Go get in a lift, support a quality, local gym, you won’t regret it.

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym and awesome atmosphere! I love that it’s not super packed during peak hours unlike other popular local gyms. Great lifting culture - if you’re someone who likes to do cardio as well they only have a few machines. Not a knock as this is something they advertise being a lifting focused gym.

Experiencia fantástica: I love this gym. Friendly group of diverse members, solid newer equipment, clean.

Experiencia fantástica: I love working out at Iron Vault! Loads of equipment and plenty of space and freedom to do your own thing and work on your goals.

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym for beginners and heavy lifters alike. In the 3 years I was a member I never once had to wait for a squat rack or deadlifting platform, and there are ample weights available for everyone. Membership is super straightforward and cancelling is just as easy as signing up. They also do a free one week trial with no commitment so you can check the place out

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend this gym for anyone serious about self-improvement. No-nonsense environment, straightforward membership, and zero social distractions. It's a focused space for dedicated workouts. Perfect for those prioritizing fitness goals over socializing.

Experiencia fantástica: No frills gym that’s CLEAN and calm with a respectful and friendly atmosphere !

Experiencia fantástica: The gym has everything you need literally people are always nice and helpful here would definitely be recommending it to people

Experiencia fantástica: I wanna leave a bad review so you all don't show up and overfill my gym. Haha. I do believe that they would just keep adding squat racks and more weightlifting space.

Experiencia fantástica: They have iron

Experiencia fantástica: Did a drop in day visiting from Canada and crushed all my strength goals.... Great gym for doing lifts

Experiencia fantástica: This is the best gym in ATX, hands down. I’ve tried other places, and came back because the communication from ownership, accountability, and availability, are top notch. The staff are awesome, and friendly. Nothing else compares. There is no substitute for the best.

Experiencia fantástica: Fev Gym is a FIVE gym Since the beginning of 2021 I have been going to that incredible gym, and I can say that it is the best gym I have been to in my entire life. I can train comfortably and effectively because the gym has a lot of quality equipment and a great environment. And many of my clients who have been training there for 1 - 2 years, when they first visited FevGym for the first time, have been fascinated with everything they saw in the gym and signed up for a membership without thinking twice. Since in the gym you can see: -Equipment - Cleaning and organization - Customer service (Jose, Tristan, Zach and Dorian are always very attentive, friendly and willing to help) - Environment of - Location of - It's 24 hours - Friendly competitions - A very friendly community In addition to the fact that the owner of the gym is a very cool and unique person, he appears in the gym as one more gym member, talks and laughs with the members, workout there, support you, and well, he is just great person because despite owning the gym he is very easy going and humble. If you are looking for a gym to workout. FEV GYM recommended x 10000 And if you go you will not only be one more gym member but you will be part of an incredible community

Experiencia fantástica: This is the most inclusive and supportive gym I’ve ever been to. Everyone is very kind and encouraging and approachable. There is lots of powerlifting equipment available and even at peak times I’ve rarely had to wait long to use something.

Experiencia fantástica: I tried out a number of gyms when I first moved to Austin and felt the most comfortable at Iron Vault! The community is amazing - everyone is respectful, courteous, and genuinely supportive of one another. The gym is always tidy and organized, and I never had to wait too long for a piece of equipment. If you're interested in strength training and want a no fuss, no frills gym, I recommend checking them out!

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym I've ever been to. The staff are chill and always willing to help, plenty of Olympic bar and racks to go around, and the culture echoes into even the member behavior. Everyone is kind and respectful. Everyone cleans up after themselves and reracks weights. It's a community. I'm another reviewer who is moving and I'm honestly emotional about leaving FeV behind. James, thank you.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice great gym

Experiencia fantástica: You couldn’t ask for a better community. Broad range of equipment. Plenty of squat racks. Clean and organized. One should take advantage of the spotters provided by the gym during business hours. It’s such a great perk provided.

Experiencia fantástica: I really have enjoyed my regular visits to Iron Vault. People are pretty serious about their workouts here, but still kind and thoughtful. If I’m near a piece of equipment, folks always ask if I’m using it. Front desk/spotters are all genuinely nice. Facilities are well maintained and clean. It’s easy to tell that the owners care about this place, not something that can be said about every gym.

Experiencia fantástica: My home gym for nearly two years. Could not be more happy with my experiences. Great people and good vibes.

Experiencia fantástica: I started at FeV when I was overweight, weak, and knew nothing about weightlifting, and I was incredibly nervous about joining a gym. Not only are the staff incredibly kind and welcoming, but the folks who work out at FeV are all respectful and polite. I've never had to wait for a rack in the year I've been here, and the owner and staff have kept the place open despite large scale power outages, internet outages, snow and ice.

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym. No bs, tons of weights, everybody is friendly, plenty of equipment. They have like 10 squat racks so you’re never waiting. Plenty of deadlift platforms too. Highly recommend this place!

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym, great owner, great staff, and great members. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: 5 days in but seems great. Front desk was a normal person and not an automated response receptionist like the big gyms. Proper equipment for real lifting if you were an athlete. No frills, perfect spot.

Experiencia fantástica: Probably the best gym I’ve been to. Tons of barbells, racks & benches. Unique equipment you don't see often like GHD and reverse hyper. Staff is always willing to help and everyone is friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym, super friendly staff.

Experiencia fantástica: This gym rules. This is a lifter's paradise. In my one year as a member I never once had to wait to use a piece of equipment due to there being a surplus and plethora of platforms, squat racks, benches, etc. Whether you are a gigantic meat head who can deadlift 1000 pounds or a scrawny newbie barely picking up the bar, this is the gym for you. Everyone is super friendly, fun and atmosphere is great. Fair price compared to other gyms as well. James, the owner, is super communicative about updates, events, and more.

Experiencia fantástica: Great Gym! They are very helpful!

Experiencia fantástica: This gym shifted my perspective on what gyms were and could be. One of the few establishments that still values customer service and enhancing their experience in any way they can. The staff are super friendly, the community is great, just a good gym overall.

Experiencia fantástica: Top quality small gym. No bells and whistles. Super great community too. Trainers are great too. 24hr access and hot showers are excellent.

Experiencia fantástica: This place rules. Plenty of room, any equipment you can think of, after hours access is great. An incredible bargain when it comes to monthly dues.

Experiencia fantástica: Solid, no nonsense gym. Great management, free weight focused. Highly recommend.

Experiencia positiva: I've been to most gyms in town (Hyde Park, Gold's, ABP, LifeTime, etc.) and after joining FeV a few weeks ago I can tell I'm going to be a member here for a while. This is a no frills, legit gym for actual weightlifting. There are plenty of squat racks, deadlift stations, etc. so I haven't had issues waiting for equipment, and people have been nice enough to let you work in on some of their more limited machines. The equipment isn't quite as new/nice as ABP's, but is more diverse: they have stuff like a hip thruster station, earthquake bars for stability work, etc. They also have tons of bands for mobility work, although space for this is very limited - the tight quarters along with limited warm-up options (e.g. treadmills / bikes) are really my only complaints so far. Hard to beat this place for $75 a month!

Experiencia fantástica: Best lifting gym ever. Seriously. It has all the equipment you’ll need as a weight lifter- MULTIPLES of benches, squat racks, platforms and cable machines. They even have a hip thrust setup. You’ll never have to wait on anybody in comparison to being in a commercial gym. Never had a problem with getting the workout I planned on even during “peak hours”. Staff is approachable and does an amazing job with keeping the gym clean.

Experiencia fantástica: This is a great gym. I'm somewhat new to Austin and don't know about other gyms in the area. Regardless, one of the best gyms I've ever been to. They have a ton of equipment and you'll never have to wait for squat/bench/deadlifting. Great place. James is also communicative about gym updates and is responsive.

Experiencia fantástica: This is probably my favorite gym I’ve ever been able to lift at.

Experiencia fantástica: Posted the 5 star review a couple months ago but figured I'd update it because I moved and just got around to cancelling my membership Dang dude I'm so spoiled, I signed up because iron vault was 3 minutes from my house and ended up with the best gym in town. No waits EVER for anything, 24 hour access Very sad that I'm moving and will probably end up going to golds or something

Experiencia fantástica: The hardest part of moving is finding a gym in the same realm as this one. Great staff with a plentiful amount of the best equipment.

Experiencia fantástica: I can't speak highly enough of this place, if you are in the area this is the only and best gym you'll have for likely the rest of your stay. Great crowd+staff, 24/7, every implement you could need, and you'll never wait for a rack in your life.

Experiencia fantástica: My favorite locally-owned gym that I've ever been to. They have have all the things lifters (novice all the way to expert) need in terms of racks and platforms. I really like it compared to big chains (e.g. Lifetime, Gold's, 24H Fitness.) No flash, no frills, no BS. The pricing hits a sweet spot too. James is extremely responsive and communicative on updates with the gym. Come get your lift on

Experiencia fantástica: Honestly, the best locally-owned gym I’ve been to and a part of. Staff is exceptional, owner is always around too and makes everyone feel welcome. The members are great and create an inclusive atmosphere . If you like to be left alone and not bothered during your workouts, this is also a good place for you. It’s super affordable and as a trainer, It’s the best possible environment to work in. All my clients feel safe, supported and welcomed. Love it so much and incredibly grateful to have such a safe haven to both work in and workout in. 10/10 would recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Full of friendly folks. Great place to actually get a solid work out without the bells and whistles.

Experiencia fantástica: In my opinion, this is one of the best gyms in Austin! There is so much equipment that you never have to wait to use anything. This is also a great gym if you want to lift heavy because they have everything needed for that. The trainers are very knowledgeable and the staff is great! I highly recommend this gym to anyone!

Experiencia fantástica: I've lived in Austin since 2006 and gone to a LOT of gyms around town. I always loved gyms that focused on weight lifting over cardio or just had tons of random machines everywhere. I found this place during covid and am so happy I did. They have tons of squat racks, bars and all the free weights and plates you would need. All of the employees here are awesome. Very friendly. Always willing to help or give advice. Everyone that works out here is very friendly and helpful as well. Even during rush hour gym traffic you can always find a squat rack or deadlifting platform open. This is hands down the best gym in Austin. It's meant for people that take weight lifting serious. I've never seen anyone have a problem at this gym. It's always clean. Always open if you are a member, and always a very comfortable atmosphere. This gym was a huge help in me losing 30lbs and I can't thank everyone that works or goes here enough. I'm leaving Austin and wish I could take this place with me. If you are looking for a serious weight lifting gym, this is the place for you. Great staff, great weights, great price. They will treat you right and you won't be disappointed you became a member. I know I wasn't.

Experiencia fantástica: Best trainers gym in town.

Experiencia fantástica: I'd prefer to rate it low just to keep it to myself, but then I'd be lying. It simply has everything I need for a good pump.

Experiencia fantástica: This is the only gym I’ve ever visited since moving to Austin almost a year and a half ago. And that’s because since the first day I knew this was the best gym I could ask for. Not only does it have top quality equipment, a clean environment, AND atmosphere control, it’s also a fantastic community. Truly a welcome environment for both beginner and expert lifters alike. Also the 24/7 access for members is just *chef’s kiss*

Experiencia fantástica: Clean, 24/7 access, well-equipped, and friendly staff. You won't find gyms like this in Austin.

Experiencia fantástica: The only thing better than the equipment and space in this gym are the people who go to it and work at it! Should be able to put 6 stars, if you're looking for a place to get your goals at - this is it

Experiencia fantástica: All the equipment is so clean and well maintained! The spotters are lovely as well. One guy was even nice enough to help me record one of my lifts :)

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to workout! Been going here a week for the days when Lifetime is too packed. Lots of squat cages, all types of people but never too busy. The best gym for "leg day"

Experiencia fantástica: Exactly the place freeweight lifters will want. Everything you need, and enough space and equipment to get it done. Definitely would recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: No-nonsense, respectful, classic style iron gym with plenty of equipment and space. I bought a day pass just to try it out and walked out with a membership.

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym!! Worth every penny. Will never go back to a chain gym again, support local gyms everyone

Experiencia fantástica: I don't leave many reviews but I love this gym! If you want no nonsense, good atmosphere and plenty of squat racks this is the place for you! I cannot recommend FeV enough!

Experiencia fantástica: The best gym I've ever had, by far. If you like free weights, primarily train SBD, or like using chalk or making noise in the gym, you won't find a better gym in the area, especially at this price. There's a reason much of the Longhorn Powerlifting team chooses to train here. On top of this, winter storm Uri showed me that the owner really care about the members. The only reason I wouldn't recommend this gym is because I never have to wait for a rack or bench and I don't want that to change. For real though, check this place out.

Experiencia fantástica: Had an amazing time training at @fevgym. The owner was amazing and super accommodating plus he is a veteran and I love supporting those that have served. It was clean, well taken care of, and a perfect setup, couldn’t ask for a better vacation gym. If you’re in Austin, it’s a MUST.

Experiencia fantástica: Super high quality weight equipment. Richard was incredibly friendly and I can only assume the rest of the staff is as well. Though the gym is lacking cardio, if you're going to a place called "IronVault" should you really be expecting that? I wouldn't recommend it if you're scared of loud noises, but if you're ready to move more into weight training and pushing 1 rep maxes then this is 100% the place for you.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome gym, originally started coming here because the other globo gym I was at let people not wear masks and this gym continued to enforce it as long as the CDC recommended it. Ended up finding the gym experience I had always wished for. Even during the busiest hours I never have trouble finding equipment. If you've ever gone to a box gym and wished they would replace all of the dumb equipment with barbells and platforms, then this is the gym for you. Also you can't really beat the price, especially considering it's 24 hours.

Experiencia fantástica: If you’re looking around for where to go lift, then stop looking and just go here! I was traveling on a weekend and stopped by. I seriously told my wife, if we ever move, I want it to be here near this gym! If there’s any reason I come back to Austin, I will always come back!

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely love this gym!!!! I 10/10 recommend to everybody!!!! This gym has turned more into family than anything! From the atmosphere and the people this place makes me feel welcomed and comfortable!!

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym in South Austin. Friendly staff. No frills, just power racks and hard workers.

Experiencia fantástica: This is the best gym I've ever had the luxury of being a member of. They have all the equipment I want, with plenty of racks, platforms, and dumbbells. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and they made me feel at home while I was in Austin. I don't write google reviews and I'm going out of my way to write this one, that's how great my experience has been here.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome equipment.

Experiencia fantástica: All the equipment is so clean and well maintained! The spotters are lovely as well. One guy was even nice enough to help me record one of my lifts :)

Experiencia fantástica: Loved this place , heavy lifters only this place motivated me to go harder just with their environment

Experiencia fantástica: What a great gym with nice people!

Experiencia fantástica: FeV is a clean, comfortable atmosphere place to lift. Good for lifters of all levels - I’ve been going the past 3-4 months and have absolutely loved my experience. Friendly staff that are willing to help if needed. I’d highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for a great local gym!

Experiencia fantástica: Impressive gym with the right equipment to get strong. Always many open pieces of equipment and was never crowded. Also the 24 hours access is a huge plus. Extremely friendly staff who remembered my name after just a few visits. Reminds me of what a gym should feel like. Friendly, local and genuine. Partners in your fitness journey. In addition, the staff and members were very diligent around cleaning the equipment during the Covid-19 era. Felt no fear using the equipment or risking any exposure. Highly recommend the gym!

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym for powerlifting, body building, and Olympic lifting. Many racks and benches, so no waiting for equipment. All Rogue bars and enough weights for everyone. James is a fantastic owner and listens to the customers. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful as well. No complicated contracts or upsells, has cheap day pass for only $5 available as well.

Experiencia fantástica: Hands down the best gym I've ever been to. The equipment is top notch, the music kicks, and the spotters remembered my name after a week of going there. I've never been so pumped to get in the gym!

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff. Like the atmosphere. For people that want to simply lift heavy, do their business, see results, and get on with their day.

Experiencia fantástica: Went in for a day pass yesterday. Incredible experience. The owner was great. Super clean spot. Tons of unique exponent & bars. Highly reccomend

Experiencia fantástica: With the Covid pandemic shutting down most of the gyms I am so thankful that FeV has remained opened for the community. This facility is always clean and organized and it's never overly crowded or filled with gym pervs (ladies, you know what I mean). The owner is extremely down to earth is he always greets people when he is himself training at the facility. The spotters are also very friendly and they are amazing at keeping the equipment sanitized. If you are looking for a new gym where squat racks, platforms and barbells are always available look no further, this place has it all. Oh and did it mention that they have 24 hour access? well they do and they can help you get it set up and everything

Experiencia fantástica: Old school gym. All the iron, bars, racks, and benches you need. More dumbbells than you can lift. No TV s. Members and staff understand gum etiquette. If you want cardio, go outside.

Experiencia fantástica: This gym is just what I’ve been looking for! It’s predominantly free weights, but they do have a fantastic cable station as well. Staff is genuinely customer concerned, and fellow gym goers actually practice standard gym etiquette as in re-racking and wiping down weights and stations. Amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: TLDR: Iron vault is a weightlifting gym with new equipment and excellent management. There are so many pros, I’m just going to list them out: easy sign-up, fair price, 24 hour access, helpful and friendly staff, roomy with plenty of weights to go around, not overcrowded, and painless cancellation. The only reason I’m not still a member is that I live north/central and there’s a gym 2 blocks away.

Experiencia fantástica: Want to say thanks so much for making a great gym. It was just the right atmosphere to get me back into the groove. I'm about 15 lbs lighter and making better choices, much thanks to re-establishing a gym habit at your gym.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome facility locally owned so its my new home for sure

Experiencia fantástica: This place is awesome! Super honest pay structure and everything you need to lift. 10/10 would recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Great layout, attentive staff, 24/7 access for members.

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym, mostly free weights and a few machines. The staff is super friendly and offer advice/workouts or help in spotting. Equipment is new and facilities are kept clean. They have hassle free membership/no contract or $5 day passes.

Experiencia fantástica: Love that the day fee is affordable and no harrassment or phone calls to get you to join. This gym is great and me and my friends love lifting there.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to lift, lots of iron, good bars, plenty of squat racks. If you are serious about lifting heavy iron, this is the place to be. Low price for membership and no commitment made it easy to try it out and I'm glad I did. I've been here for three months now and it was a good choice.the staff is knowledgeable and the crowd is great. Serious, respectful people who do their work and don't show off. Great environment! They are chalk-friendly and have bumper plates. They also put on regular form clinics on weekends.

Experiencia fantástica: This is the best lifting gym in South Austin. With only a $5 drop-in fee you should definitely give this place a try. The facility is fairly small but clean and stocked with everything you need to lift. The staff are very friendly. Unfortunately I had to drop my monthly membership but the cancellation process was extremely easy. A simple email request and my membership was cancelled within the hour. No hassle at all. Five-star customer service!

Experiencia fantástica: This is a new gym and is located in a good part of Austin. There’s man gyms in Austin, but this t I highly recommend. Great atmosphere, helpful staff, all the right equipment for any work out you are doing . Stop in and try it out . Amazing deals and guest pass

Experiencia fantástica: This gym has the perfect equipment and atmosphere to achieve fitness goals. Everything has an underlying tone of "doing it for the right reason" here.

Experiencia fantástica: Iron Vault has been absolutely wonderful! The facility is always clean and up to date. The staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend working out here!

Experiencia fantástica: i love FeV. there are so many racks and so many plates. the staff is exceptional. it's the best gym in south central austin for lifting.

Experiencia fantástica: Good power lifting gym. Devoted mainly to squats and deadlift. No frills. No real cardio equipment to speak of. Drop in price is only $5 and the first session is free. You should check it out if you're curious.

Experiencia fantástica: What a breath of fresh air from the traditional globo gyms! Every single piece of equipment is new and top notch. No expense was spared in outfitting this place - which clearly shows a great amount of pride in the business they have built. The vibe is SUPER chill. As a lady lifter I was a little skeptical about the douche-bagery I might encounter. I've been multiple times now and much to my chagrin everyone is pleasant, focused and the douchery non-existent. Don't hesitate to check this place out!

Experiencia fantástica: I'm a novice gym goer and this place is great. I was looking for a place focusing on more barbells than machines and Iron Vault is awesome! I feel safe lifting with their equipment.

Experiencia fantástica: Honestly don't think you can find a better gym. Brand new equipment, great atmosphere, awesome staff and straightforward price. So happy I found this place, by far the best gym in the downtown area.

Experiencia fantástica: If you like supporting small businesses, veterans, and a real gym then go here.

Experiencia fantástica: Phenomenal place to workout at I encourage everyone in the Austin area to check it out

Experiencia fantástica: This is a new gym and is located in a good part of Austin. There’s man gyms in Austin, but this t I highly recommend. Great atmosphere, helpful staff, all the right equipment for any work out you are doing . Stop in and try it out . Amazing deals and guest pass
