I've been a member at Iron Mine for the last year and a half. The equipment is great, and I've seen them make continuous improvements with equipment maintenance and new equipment while I've been a member. I especially like having 24-hour access to the gym, knowing I could go at times that worked with my schedule.

I finally visited this gym after seeing it on IG for a long while. Went in on Veterans weekend 2023 and was sold. They have everything I need and some stuff I am barely learning to use. The staff are like brothers. The will help you anyway you need. Owner now has his own line of Prework and it's good. And they just upgraded all the plates. Tons of improvements daily it seems. New equipment and upgrades ate constantly happening. The other members are friendly and funny. I always leave with a great pump and a few hand shakes and high fives. Definitely worth a day, week or full on membership. They have some great trainers that know there stuff. One of the best gyms in Chicago.

Iron Mine Gym is hands down one of the best training environments I've experienced. The atmosphere is motivating and supportive, with an energy that pushes you to bring your best every session. The service was top-notch—staff were friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about fitness. The gym features a wide variety of machines, all in excellent condition, offering plenty of options for any kind of workout, from strength training to functional fitness. One of the standout features is the posing room—thoughtfully designed with great lighting and mirrors that show every angle, making it perfect for progress photos and fine-tuning your form. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, Iron Mine Gym delivers a top-tier experience.

Definitely one of the nicest gyms in the Chicago area, with a great selection of machines that you don't see every day. When I stepped into this gym, I felt like I was in one of Arnold's old training tapes and that's really all that needs to be said.

Unfortunately I can only speak on the gym itself, as I had purchased some unneeded equipment as Joe was making upgrades to the facility. In my limited experience with Iron Mine, Joe struck me as a very nice, outgoing guy and his passion for helping people to get jacked and stacked is clear.

I’m personally not a body builder, but I have felt very welcomed at Iron Mine! Lifting and running is a big hobby of mine! They have everything I need and even more. I got very sick of commercial gyms because I value gym etiquette and was searching for a place that valued it too. I started off using their day pass to get a feel for their gym and by my 3rd visit, I fell in love! Iron mine was exactly what I was looking for and I am extremely grateful I found this gym. I’m still getting used to seeing very built men and I get a bit intimidated, but they’re all very kind and respectful. I highly HIGHLY recommend!!

This is the best gym in Chicago! Iron mine has all the equipment you could ever need and then some. The equipment is always kept clean by members and staff and in the rare occasion that it becomes damaged Joe and the staff is always quick to get it fixed. The atmosphere is great and there is always someone willing to help you whether it's a staff member or a gym member. Joe has truly set the standard in my opinion on how a gym should be run and taken care of, and from what I've seen with all of his improvements and additions over the years is that he really cares and wants to provide his members with the best environment for them to continually grow and be the best version of themselves.

Joined this gym last month and it has been great. They have a great selection of new and vintage bodybuilding machines. They have top of the line brands like hammer strength, nautilus, prime and Atlantis. I got lucky because they just got a delivery of brand new Atlantis machines and they look great and I'm sure they perform great. They are constantly upgrading the gym and it's clean all the time. This is probably the best gym in Chicago. The membership is capped to prevent overcrowding. Members are polite and respectful towards each other and the gym itself. Join this gym if you can especially now with the new equipment. 5 stars all the way.

As a primary cardio addict, I decided to join Iron Mine with the hopes of finally stepping out of my comfort zone. Strength training was mostly a foreign concept to me. I’d been a member at other various gyms, without ever branching out in my routine. There is definitely something to be said about the energy and overall community of Iron Mine that makes you want to become the better version of yourself. For the first time, I felt motivated by those around me to tap into my own strength and see what could possibly come of it. As a female, you will NOT feel intimidated here. You will, in fact, feel welcome and eager to see yourself grow. 24/7 access and no hidden fees or hurdles is really rare! Take the leap, you wont regret it.

I joined about 10 months ago and was a little intimidated, because I am an older female still trying to build strength, and thought I would feel like I don’t belong. The owner, Joe, took a lot of time out of his day to show me around- you can tell he’s proud of his business and cares about constantly improving the facility. It’s really a great vibe, people are polite, friendly and serious about their workouts. Some people have gone out of their way to be helpful, most people just mind their own business and grind, and no one has been rude, unkind or intimidating. Very impressive selection of equipment, a posing room, plus 3 gym dogs.
Membership is straightforward- you pay the quoted price, no hidden fees, 24 hour access. Respectful filming is allowed.

When you first join Joe the owner takes the time to personally walk you through the facility and show you all the equipment and amenities. One key factor I love is that there is 24hr access for members with a fob and it has been nice being able to use the gym extremely early and avoid the crowd.

I have to mention unfortunately I will not be in Chicago for a year due to the military, but Joe and the rest of iron mine staff were very helpful and worked with me. Not any gym takes the time for their members, over all I will miss this gym but I am definitely coming back once I’m back from military business.

Joe was kind enough to show me around- I even had a few people come up to me and welcome me after. The community at this gym is nothing short of phenomenal and the equipment is impeccable. I have zero hesitation recommending this gym and will continue to come here anytime I find myself in the area.

I joined this gym 4 months ago and so couldn’t be happier. Joe the owner takes the time to personally walk you through the facility and show you all the equipment and amenities. There is 24hr access for members with a fob and it has been nice being able to use the gym extremely early and avoid the crowd. All the members I’ve interacted with so far early in the morning are considerate and rerack their weights unlike other places I’ve been. The gym is very clean and orderly and there is even a drop off for meal prep delivery from people with a subscription. Overall I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a bodybuilding or weightlifting focused gym.

The best lifting gym in NW Chicago and beyond. Also features some solid cardio equipment. Serious and well equipped, but still friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended for all age groups from teens to mid-life and beyond. Thank you, Joe!

Went and got a guest pass, owner was super nice. Great bodybuilding equipment and a great place for a weightlifter to get a good workout. One of the few gyms that felt welcoming from the owner to the members. Posing room is also super nice!

I don't usually leave reviews, but this is hands down the best gym in the Chicago area. The owner is super friendly and always goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome. The equipment is top-notch, and the vibe is awesome. You'll find plenty of machines and equipment that you won't see at regular gyms. Plus, the membership rates are really reasonable, and you get 24/7 access with a key fob. I highly recommend checking out Iron Mine if you have the opportunity.

I have so many positive thoughts about this place I don’t know where to start. This is easily the best gym I’ve been to since I started working out in 2016. The community and staff are unmatched, truly feels like a big family. From the day I walked in seeking a membership I felt extremely welcomed. As a female it’s hard finding gyms where you feel respected and not stared at by creepy old dudes and I immediately noticed a difference in mentality here. Everyone has a mutual respect for one another, everyone reracks their weights/cleans equipment. They have some newer booty builder equipment that isn’t found many other places as well as a posing room! The ONLY reason I left was we due to relocation issues and I’m so upset I had to leave 😭 this gym has me contemplating an hour drive just to be back somewhere I feel happy calling home

Love going to the gym, it’s definitely an escape from the real world. And just being able to really focus on my goals and gains. Def a gym to go to over the big name gyms out there. Staff is amazing and the equipment is top notch. It’s like going from a Prius to a Ferrari. Def recommend! Going to Iron Mine!

A year ago I looking for a place to recover from a surgery and Iron Mine has been perfect for my goals.I’m definitely further in my recovery than I would have been if I stood in a commercial gym. The clientele treats it like a place to put in WORK, there’s a variety of machines and the gym is clean. They just got a bunch of new weights and their doggo Bo’ is a friggin sweetie. Love going here.

I've been an Iron Mine member since March of 2023 and have too many good things to say. The atmosphere is unmatched, everyone there just gets it. Members are respectful, clean up after themselves and best of all everyone is very nice. No judgment if you will.

The equipment is top tier and a big plus is that this is a true 24/7 gym with key fob access. The staff genuinely cares about the gym and the well being of all the members. I've interacted with Mikey and Joe and they have both been great. The biggest investment one can make is on themselves and I can't imagine not coming here.

This gym is the bee's knees. It's a bodybuilder's dream. Iron Mine has it all.
Atmosphere? ✅
Free weights? ✅
Plate-loaded equipment? ✅
Pin-loaded equipment? ✅
Posing room? ✅
Members of all types and individual goals respect and support each other. 24 hour access with fair pricing. The owner, Joe, is fully invested in this place and it shows. He's recently expanded, added more equipment, and you can expect him to be in involved as much as he can be. The experience is already great, and he continues to build upon it.

Iron Mine is a no-nonsense spot for a solid workout. I've been here for 7 weeks now, and the atmosphere is all about getting things done and pushing to improve. The equipment stays clean, and the temperature keeps you comfortable.

There's a good variety of machines and weights, and I appreciate the new wall clamp for the landmine bar.

The spacing near the cable machines in the first room can get a bit tight, especially during busy hours. It's not a major issue, just something to be aware of during prime time.

The gym consistently makes changes, including adding more equipment and replacing old gear; any concerns about worn attachments or weights will likely be addressed promptly. Management is very open to feedback and conversations about improvements for the gym and each member's comfort.
