Best place on earth if you ask me. I started at the gym as a guest at the Castleton location and then became a permanent member at the Norfolk location. There’s definitely a community and even during peak hours you can get a good work out in. This gym is definitely for all levels from beginners to intermediate and advanced.

If you were thinking of training hard and want to compete at a professional level, this is the place. You will find many people, many references to guide you to do the exercise. They have a great staff. They offer massage training services. It's always clean, has good music, and a good atmosphere. The people who train are respectful.

Iron Asylum Gym is easily one of the best gyms I’ve been to! The equipment is solid, the atmosphere is intense, and it’s perfect for serious training. No waiting for machines, no unnecessary rules—just straight-up hard work. The community is great, the gym is clean, and the music keeps you pumped. If you’re serious about lifting, you’ll love it here. Highly recommend!

Extremely clean gym with well maintained equipment that gets new stuff added every year.

I will say this is not the gym for the casual gym goer or people new to working out.
Majority of the people that go here are experienced Body builders, power lifters, Influencers and Military members.

The price while seemingly high at first is reasonable if you are willing to commit to a year(You don't have to recommit after your first year to keep that lower price, and you are able to pause that year commitment if you are a Military member for Deployment or TAD orders)

But the main selling point of this gym is the relaxed rules, you are paying to be able to use chalk, record videos, be as loud as you want and wear (or not wear) whatever you want. BUT with that people are respectful and are fairly good about not exploiting these rules or pushing the limits.

Gym is great. The workers there are super friendly and the equipment is great. Downsides, some of the young bucks that come in don’t know how to read cause, they’ll drop the heavy 100’s and end up breaking em. The amount of tripods in tripod alley is insane, most of the people will be cool about letting you know they’re recording or whatever. The females have a tendency to be doing jaw day cause they’ll be on equipment for 10 minutes talking to guys rather than using the equipment. The motivation is definitely there but the crowd makes a difference.

This is definitely an above average gym. It was clean and there was plenty of open equipment. The only drawbacks for me was the music selection they were playing (hard rock/heavy metal), which is unavoidable when working out with a partner and the lack of free standing straight barbells, which is something I use often when working out.

The Norfolk location is brimming people of various lifting styles, experience,and strength. The staff are some of the hardest working people there. Such as Tony who chats with me about my day as we share common interests and life views. Also Blaine who comes by and tells me to go for more. Either in the form of reps or more weight. Both pointing out that I've been growing and getting better at my own lifts. Making me feel like this is my home away from home. As I see them taking care of the space that I call my home gym.

This is a gym that geared well for people who want to get stronger as a whole, with plenty of squat racks , benches, and various machines for different part of the body. Not just cardio machines everywhere.
I personally like the strongman gear there as well as the calisthenics area as well. I would also love to see the power squat rack that they in the Hampton location for the Norfolk location.
Makes me glad as a father that there's a gym that I can grow my strength in.

Iron asylum is hands down the best gym in Hampton roads. Not only do they have top of the line equipment for strength training, they also offer submission grappling/no-gi BJJ classes. The instructor, Shannon, uses an ecological/game and task based approach to coaching and I have improved immensely since starting only a few weeks ago. Definitely come give the gym as well as submission grappling a try! You won’t regret it!

I’ve been a Coastal Virginia resident for 20 years and with the exception of some personal setbacks for extended periods, fitness has always been a big focus of mine. Most gyms in the area are pretty great, and I have a membership at another great local major chain. However, there’s just something different about Iron Asylum. It’s definitely your old school meets new school gym, where pretty much everyone who walks through the door is serious about their goals. You can’t say that about all of the gyms around here. Now you obviously have to pick your times because like EVERY OTHER GYM in the area, you are going to have your early morning and after work packed rush hours. But if you find the ability to be a little more flexible in your schedule, here, like everywhere else, you’ll find the right times to be able to get in and get an effective workout. Are there folks in there with phones and mini tripods taking photos and videos? Yep. I’m one of them. And it’s because fitness is a huge part of my life as it is theirs and it’s part of accountability, and sometimes just fun on social media sharing content with like-minded individuals. But so far, I haven’t, nor have I seen anyone be inconvenienced by another member who’s recording content. And everyone seems to make sure they’re respecting those around them. The place is pretty big, so, there’s plenty of room for everyone and everything…
Bottom line? CLEAN gym. HUGE variety of machines and equipment. NICE owners. FRIENDLY staff. And you absolutely cannot beat the price, it’s competitive with all other gyms especially given you get 24 hour access at some locations and get multi-location access. It’s at least worth a tour, you won’t regret it!

Gyms sick. Nice equipment, friendly staff, clean, sauna. Can’t ask for much more. Plenty of squat racks and benches and dead lift pads. Unique equipment like rope climb and gymnastic rings. Only gym I’ve ever been where I liked the music. My one complaint is that $15 for a day pass is robbery and they don’t do guest passes. If it was $10 at-least I would have gave 4 stars. Not sure what the monthly charge is but I’m not from around here.

It’s a good environment if you go during their less busy hours. During peak hours I can’t really get much done, there’s hardly room on the turf to stretch sometimes and the same cardio machines have been broken for over a month which is already very limited.
The plus side is it’s hard Not to feel motivated with the people that come here. You probably won’t feel like the biggest person here which I like. There are some members that ruin my experience tho because they’re rude. Whatever, it’s a lot of testosterone I guess

Norfolk location,
2 treadmills are broken, asked the staff to turn the sauna on and waited 10min and sauna never came on, 1 stair master is also broken, staff did not seem concerned when I told them that the sauna never turned on. Clean building and lots of weight lifting equipment. Just inconvenient at times waiting for certain equipment.

Update: Cleaning personnel need to pay attention more this has been sitting here for 24hrs. See picture.

Definitely one of the best gyms in the area if your a strength or physique lifter. Huge facility with lots of equipment.

My only two complaints

2. The bathroom/locker room has no seating or lockers inside.

Upon moving to VA beach area from up north, I had no idea what the gyms would look like here. Safe to say I was blown away by this place! Pretty much any type of training equipment you need can be found here. I also personally like the fact that loud music is being played throughout the gym. If you don't like that vibe, this gym isn't for you. All and all its an amazing value for the 40$ price tag. my only WARNING for those seeking to join this place....... if you plan to use the gym during the week between 5-7:30pm good luck finding any equipment to use. The place is a mad house.
