AJ has been fantastic. She made this middle aged woman believe in herself and is so motivating I can't wait to go to the gym and challenge myself each week. She also pays attention to when I may not be able to do my best (bad day, injury) and helps adjust the workout. Her encouragement makes the workouts easier 💪!!

I've been coming to Iron Legion for almost four years. I wanted to go to the gym, but I didn't feel comfortable at other gyms and it was a chore to make myself go. A friend suggested I do a free consult. That was it. I've never looked back. Every coach made me feel welcome and encouraged me. I no longer care about the weight on the scale, just the weight on the bar. No weight loss contests here, just Community lifting everyone up.
Coach Kaleigh has made me stronger in so many ways. She believes in me more than I do some days. She is so full of kindness and joy that I barely notice she's kicking my ass. She turned me into a powerlifter!
When I wanted to take my squats to the next level, I also started training with Trevor. He is funny and kind and his well thought-out workouts will leave you tired, happy and more powerful.
I no longer dread going to the gym. I can't wait to get there for my group sessions with the best people and the best coaches. And if I walk in feeling shitty, I always leave with a smile.
This is not just a gym. This is Community. They empower their clients and make the community stronger by giving back in so many ways. When you walk through these doors, you'll never want to leave.

I’ve been working out with Andy Tucker for about 3-4 years. He’s a great coach and kind person. He pushes you to do your best and adjusts as needed. If I’ve had a particularly difficult day at work or I’m tired he adjusts my workout accordingly and gets me back to where I was the next time. He’s taught me that progress isn’t linear but it doesn’t mean I’m not improving and getting stronger. I’m lifting more and feeling better than I have in my entire life. He’s excellent at his job! And he’s fun to train with too!

Iron Legion is an amazing place with an amazing community. I feel very lucky to be part of this community and in particular having the best coach I’ve ever had, Kaleigh. We started with Kaleigh about 3 years ago with no powerlifting experience and my wife this past month set a state record in powerlifting. Long live the Legion.

I am 73, started going to the Westbrook gym in July. Hadn't been in a gym in 30 years. I am recovering from a stroke followed by 10 difficult months in the hospital/rehab. I am definitely getting stronger, walking better and have more confidence in my recovery. I highly recommend Grace, my wonderful trainer.

I first got involved with Iron Legion through Operation Change, their annual fundraiser for Make-A-Wish Maine. The level of support and encouragement this family of gym-goers and trainers displayed was so inspiring, I knew I wanted to sign up for some training. Coach Kaleigh is a perfect fit for me. She puts up with my nonsense, while pushing me to be better than I think I can be. She puts an emphasis on safe, correct, movements to make sure your form is right before you start to build. I am stronger, and more confident, since joining, and I know that’s how my peers feel, too!

I started training at Iron Legion a few years ago with Meg as a 37 year old mother of 5. I was tired of not having any energy or feeling strong . I started training one day, then two then three and finally four and have been hooked ever since . Hooked on the people, the atmosphere and the way it being here and training with Meg has transformed me both physically and mentally . Iron Legion and the people here have helped me gained some of me back after losing it a bit in motherhood!

I’ve been working with Coach Meg for two plus years now and she’s been amazing helping someone with persistent back problems grow and gain strength and confidence not just in lifting weight but in everyday active life movement - from hiking to sailing to picking up a kid. Just amazing support and coaching!

Coach Kaleigh is hands-down one of the most encouraging and knowledgeable coaches I’ve ever worked with. She brings real energy and joy into every session, which makes the workouts not only effective, but genuinely fun. She knows how to push you in the best way—never overwhelming, just motivating—and she always meets you exactly where you’re at. I’ve learned so much from her, and I always leave feeling stronger, more confident, and excited for the next workout. If you get the chance to train with her, take it! 💪✨

Coach Meg is amazing! She helped me get back to feeling strong after having two kids! She challenges me, and also makes adjustments during each session depending on how I am feeling that day. Iron Legion is a welcoming place for all, no matter where you are starting from. 10/10 recommend!

I’ve been doing personal training sessions for over a year, working with Meg, but also had the opportunity to work with Grace! Both trainers are incredible and have helped me a lot. Since starting there I have noticed a great difference in not only my physical strength but also my mindset towards the gym. I look forward to my sessions with Meg and love that I’m challenged every time I go in. The atmosphere is so inclusive and geared towards empowering anyone who walks through the doors. 10/10 recommend.

I have been an athlete and active most of my life and have done all sorts of work outs. However I was always intimidated by weightlifting. Alli has made weight training so comfortable and fun! I know I am doing things correctly with her guidance and wonderful motivation.

I found Scott and the gym after an achilles tear at 58. I had not lifted weights in over 15 years prior.
Not only were they more knowledgeable than my PT sessions, I am in a groove with great training and mentoring around techniques and workouts. A highlight of my week is going to the gym. Lot’s of energy and you feel welcome from day 1.
A high character gym and staff. I call it an investment in myself

What started as a couple session has quickly turned into a family session because we love it so much! The intake process was easy we were contacted the same day by Scott and had a session booked that week we’re consistently getting good feedback from Coach Allie who does an AMAZING job of coaching two adults and two teens on a Saturday morning. The atmosphere here is 100/10 they don’t just care about your ability to lift heavy although that is a perk they care about your goals and wellbeing. We have seen so much progress in our lifts since starting it’s been amazing to get the feedback and change little things throughout the week to continue to improve. If you’re hesitant about lifting or getting into lifting start here they’re everything you need.

Iron Legion is more than a gym. The community and support you get from your coaches and other members make you feel like you’re part of this big family.
I do TRAIN with Ali and Kaleigh and they are amazing! It’s a great drop in class to get your heart rate up while working on building your strength and core. They are always switching things up so it’s never the same or gets old. The coaches are there to cheer you on through the workout and I love that anyone can do TRAIN no matter the age or level of experience it can be tailored to you.
These workouts have helped me not only get physically stronger but also mentally stronger too. -Jena

Alli is the best coach! After having a baby I truly didn’t think I would ever be into working out again, Alli changed that for me. I have never been stronger and more confident than i am now. She is so encouraging and her knowledge of exercise really helps. She really has helped make me feel so badass!

Iron Legion is perfect for my needs. Close to my home, a huge choice of personal trainers, everyone’s so uplifting and non-judgmental. They’re big in the community, they put time and effort into make a wish foundation. I’ve had a handful of Different gym Passes in my life and never found a gym that fit.
Iron Legion Not only has been a perfect for me but my trainer Coach Trevor has been amazing. He has taken the time to train me for the last 2.5 years. The longest I’ve ever stayed with it. He has completely transformed my body, my outlook on working out and eating. My eating habits have completely changed. He’s so positive and will push you and teach you along the way. I am filled with so much more confidence and I’m so happy when I look in the mirror and how my body has turned out. Not only that it’s such a positive experience. I look forward to starting my days there. It starts my day on a fresh happy note. I highly recommend Coach Trevor or any of the other coaches at iron Legion.

Iron Legion is hands down one of the most welcoming and uplifting gyms I've ever been a part of. From day one, the vibe has been nothing but positive and encouraging—everyone here is genuinely kind, supportive, and rooting for each other, no matter where you're starting from. It is evident that Scott has a special ability to cultivate a strong sense of community with both coaches as well as members of the gym.
Coach Trevor deserves a special shoutout. He's been incredibly helpful and patient, working with us to find a routine that fits our needs and goals. He somehow strikes the perfect balance between supportive and challenging—always pushing us to grow (and let’s be honest, to absolutely kick our butts in the best way possible!).
If you're looking for a place that feels more like a community than just a gym, Iron Legion is it. Highly recommend!

I initially started working with Trevor in preparation for my wedding, but I ended up continuing for several months afterward, and for good reason. From day one, he made the gym feel like a much less intimidating place. As someone who was never fully comfortable in a gym setting, that made all the difference.
What really stood out to me was how fun he made the experience. Workouts were challenging, yes, but never something I dreaded. He brought great energy to every session and always made the effort to connect beyond just the workout aspect. It was clear he genuinely cared about building a relationship and helping me reach my goals in a sustainable, enjoyable way.
One of the most impressive things was watching him interact with such a wide range of clients. No matter your fitness level, background, or personality, he has a way of adapting and making everyone feel welcome and supported. It gave me a lot of confidence knowing I was in such capable hands.
If you're looking for someone who not only knows what they're doing but also creates a space that’s motivating, inclusive, and enjoyable, I can’t recommend Trevor enough.

AJ is an amazing trainer. She listens to what is being said and will adjust the program accordingly to accommodate any injuries. She is very motivating and provides positive feedback throughout the entire session. She watches closely to correct moves to help ensure the exercise is completed appropriately preventing any injuries. Sometimes I look at her when she provides me with an exercise, telling her there is no way I can do that, she encourages and guides me through any challenges I have. I really enjoy working with AJ each week and would recommend her to everyone!

I’ve been training with AJ for over a year now and have loved every minute of it! Before I started, I was not too familiar with lifting form, weight racks, etc. - AJ has been so patient, teaching me the ropes while increasing strength week to week. Would highly recommend Iron Legion (and working with AJ!) if you’re interested in getting a good workout in, becoming stronger, while also learning the ins and outs of the strength-building world!

Since I am about a 2 hour drive from Iron Legion Strength Co., I am not currently a member. This distance does not limit the reach that this awesome gym and its coaches have on people’s lives. I was introduced to "Coach AJ's Holistic Nutrition Self Help Guide" and I LOVE it! It has been a great resource for me, not only for the information that is provided but for the encouragement and grace throughout the documents. I enjoy that it highlights all the pertinent information but gives the additional resources to dig into for when I have time or need more information in a specific area. My current wellness journey often shifts due to undiagnosed physical constraints and this guide has helped me to focus on the things that I can control. I am grateful for this resource and the care that AJ has given to its contents and to me through our conversations.

I started training at Iron Legion Westbrook with Grace Factor. Grace has been awesome, she kicks my butt in the gym every time. And even better, after telling Grace I just got my certification as a personal trainer, she hooked me up with an internship at Iron Legion Scarborough, and I couldn't be happier. Thanks, to Grace, to the owner, Scott, to my new boss, Andrew, and everyone else from the Iron Legion community. You guys are the best!

The coaches at this place are incredible. Knowledgeable, passionate, and down to earth. They target your strengths to make them stronger, and ask questions every time they see you to help you get past your weaknesses. Whether you’re lifting 20 lbs or 400 lbs, there is no judgment here. But if you stick with them, you’ll be heading towards 400!
I've been an Iron Legion member for over 5 years, attending whenever life and time allow. Whether it's couples sessions, one-on-one personal training, group fitness classes, or online coaching, Iron Legion consistently provides an exceptional fitness experience. The gym fosters a supportive, welcoming community that truly cares about its members and helps me stay accountable to my fitness goals.
For the past couple of years, I've been training with Coach Meg, primarily through an online personal training program with in-person check-ins to work on proper form and technique. Coach Meg has been incredible—she understands my needs and has helped me recover from multiple injuries while working toward improving my endurance for long-distance running and getting stronger through strength training.
Iron Legion and Coach Meg have been key to my fitness journey, and I can't recommend them enough. If you're looking for a top-notch gym with amazing coaches, this is the place. A+ service, 5 stars, highly recommend for anyone serious about fitness or just trying to find out what fitness means to them!

If you are reading these reviews, want to make a change, aren’t feeling yourself, need a place to start, or maybe you are like me and felt overwhelmed, confused and needed something to guide you- please do yourself and the universe a favor and get Coach AJ’s Holistic Nutrition Guide. This isn’t JUST about food & nutrition, her guide helps you live a better life. I would go as far as to say that this is a gift from AJ to humanity and the more people that read it and share this knowledge, the better off we all will be. I am a 42 year old perimenopausal woman and I was struggling for quite some time with many perimenopausal symptoms (irritability, night sweats, poor sleep, weight gain, complete hormonal chaos really…and more). I thought I was eating and exercising fairly well but I felt the worst I ever had. I was about to reach out for a medication or a few to help with these changes that were happening in my body. I really felt lost and helpless. The people I talked to about it all suggested taking prescription medications which I REALLY didn’t want to do. As a last effort before calling the doctor I decided to reach out to AJ and read her guide. I had no idea how many of the “healthy” things I was doing actually were making me feel sick. I was never taught how detached the current way of living is from nature and all of the toxins and hormone disruptors I was surrounding myself with. AJ’s guide helped me realize that if I treat my body as nature intended, feed it what it needs, it is so much happier, healthier and living is easier! Her guide is great because it is so concise, easy to understand and you don’t have to figure it out. She’s done years of work and translated it into simplified, shareable information that is so powerful and impactful. AJ is so inspiring, her heart wants the best for you and your health and you will feel that and WANT to make changes. This guide does not make you feel like you need to do “work”, it helps you understand how to give yourself what you deserve. She gives you just enough information as not to be overwhelmed but then also provides links and resources if you want to do a deep dive. I instantly made some minor changes to my caffeine, food, life, surroundings, and I was able to support my system enough to come off from Synthroid, had breast cysts that went away, many symptoms improved, and I even dissolved my business because it didn’t fit into my new healthy mindset. The guide is informative and serves as a catalyst that will get you thinking and on a new journey. It will open doors to concepts you didn’t even realize existed. Her guide has helped me in so many avenues in my life and it has been a literal life changer/saver for me and my family. AJ’s guide has opened a new door for me, I’m aware and informed and I hope this review helped you decide to do this for yourself. It’s such a small price to pay for a better life, you deserve it!

Coach AJ is more than a personal trainer. Consistently, she goes above and beyond in her abilities to educate upon and coordinate movements that improve strength capacities. She also has an interest in holistic nutrition which matches well with her holistic approach. I struggle with staying motivated, and tend to call it quits after a couple months of starting a new training program, but AJ’s encouragement and endless optimism and energy has helped to keep me on track in my fitness journey. She is also just an amazing personal all-around. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I started at the Iron Legion a few years back, I was in my mid fifties and wanted to do something different but didn’t know where to start. I went in thinking of a goal in mind but that goal idea changed to something completely different after a few sessions and now my goals have been met and new ones have been created. Coach Trevor is who my son and I train with, he keeps it real and fun. He creates new and fresh plans to help us get to the next level. I don’t know who gets more excited when we reach a personal best, him or us. If you are looking for something to get you motivated then the Iron Legion is the place you are looking for.

For years I've had mobility and knee issues plus I've struggled with my weight. I've never been comfortable with going to the gym due to many factors. But when I saw an ad for Iron Legion Strength Co offering the first workout for free I figured why not. That's when I met Jon. Him and the rest of the Iron Legion crew made me feel so comfortable and welcomed that I knew this wasn't your ordinary gym.
After just 4 weeks working with Jon my mobility has improved at least 80% and I can trust my knees because they feel so much better now. I can't imagine working out at any other gym. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. Best decision ever.

I came to Iron Legion after graduating from 2 years of post-op physical therapy. Coach AJ is the best cheerleader that I didn’t know I needed! She is always looking out for safety and even made some modifications when my back was acting up so I could still do a safe workout. Iron Legion is a super supportive environment, especially for people who aren’t “gym people.” Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. I love being challenged every week to get stronger with no pressure or comparison to be like anyone else. Training at Iron Legion has vastly improved my physical and mental health. So glad I found this place!

I came to Iron Legion last July after spending several years trying to get over one injury or another, one flair up of joint pain after another. I have many health issues but I so wanted to work out and get strong as I could see my freedom and independence in life slipping away, if I didn't do something soon. I was slowly losing my ability to do things for myself and having to rely on others for help. I knew AJ from my previous job (she was actually my boss and the wonderful person who hired me). Thankfully we had kept in touch thru Facebook. I had great respect for her and she continued to be patient waiting for me to get to the gym. She never once pushed me, she just offered ideas and told me to let her know how she could help.
AJ has turned my life around in just 7 short months. It has not been easy and I have had to work hard. Sometimes it felt like 1 step forward, 2 steps back. But she was always there encouraging me (even when I was ready to quit) and today I am so much stronger than probably I have ever been in my life and I am 62 years old!!! I still have hard weeks, but I show up and put in the work with AJ's loving guidance and I feel more empowered than ever. If anyone had told me 8 months ago I would be doing weighted squats, I would have told them they were nuts, yet here I am! We really don't have to get old!!! I always said I would never get old, but it was starting to happen and thanks to AJ and Iron Legion (and my workout ladies) We are reversing that damn aging process!!!! Stop thinking about it and just do it!! You will thank yourself for putting you first! Thank you AJ and my wonderful gym family!

I've never been a gym person but Iron Legion is not your typical gym! I've had a few different gym experiences over the years but never felt comfortable and was always intimidated.

AJ always listens and asks for my input when designing programs and gears training sessions to my abilities and goals. I’m 39 with a lot of extra weight, a wonky back and a bad knee and she always encourages me and makes sure I’m comfortable and capable throughout the whole process.

I have been training with AJ for almost a year now, and I have nothing but positive things to say about her and everyone else I’ve encountered at Iron Legion. I started with the goal of just wanting to be stronger, and AJ has dialed me in and taken me to a whole other level. She is really great about checking in with how I’m feeling and modifying the workouts when necessary. She also gets excited when I’m ready to add more weight and is always finding new ways to challenge me. I leave every workout more energized and in a better mood than when I arrived. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to coach me through this past year and I’m excited to see what we can accomplish in year 2!💪🏼

I love this gym! As a way of introduction I had a training with Lizz and instantly felt at home. Lizz is kind and encouraging while also excellent at challenging us. I am already addicted to the Lift classes and the Train classes.

I have only good things to say about the Iron Legion gym! First of all, I am eternally grateful that they made it possible for me to come train there even though I was only visiting for two weeks. Second, the place is full of motivational and healthy writings on the wall, which just sets the right tone for a space which people turn to in order to become stronger and healthier versions of themselves. Green flags everywhere. Third, my trainer Lizz took such good care of me while I was there—from the first consultation throughout the sessions, she helped me improve even though we only had such a short time together. I simply had a blast. Even though I have a tendency to be quieter and more observant in new social situations, the trainers as well as the other people in the class made me feel welcome and included from the start. A huge thanks to Lizz, Jon and everyone who I had the pleasure of working out with. I hope I get to come back one day!

I found Iron by driving by and seeing one of their stickers in a window. :) BEYOND thrilled I found them. I'm learning new things, being challenged, and making lots of gains. It's awesome this gem is in Westbrook. Catie is an amazing trainer and creates dynamic workouts besides being detail oriented and an excellent coach. Come workout with us!!!

Everyone I’ve interacted with has been super friendly and helpful, and the gym has such a positive and supportive vibe to it. As someone that never considered myself to be strong or someone who could do weight lifting, coming here is something I look forward to every week. Coach Andy gives me everything I need from instruction to positive reinforcement, I feel like I am investing in myself and it’s paying off. I’ve learned a lot about form, safety, and I am challenged every week to go a little further. Andy has turned something that I used to find overwhelming into something that empowers me and I feel confident in.

Never have I been a part of anything that I’ve so easily made friends, laugh and feel so encouraged. Yes, we lift weights here, yes we work our butts off, but that mentality is because of the community I am surrounded by and the amazing coaches! Shout out to Coach Lizz for always making sure I have the right form, and that I’m always pushing myself by “suggesting” a different (higher) weight! I never thought I’d say this, but I’m a power lifter and it’s all because of Iron Legion!

I was lucky to find my platonic ideal of personal trainers, AJ Macomber, at Iron Legion. I started as a novice weight lifter looking for a trainer who could teach me proper form on a variety of movements, how to build a program for myself (or what programs on the internet are worth trying), and basically to teach me as much as possible about weight lifting so I could one day work toward my goals on my own with confidence and competence. Not only did AJ deliver on all of these fronts--with her truly endless wealth of strength training knowledge and her grace as a leader to let your goals and wishes guide the process--but she is a big, bright star of a human being. Kind, powerfully intelligent, client-focused, and inspiring, AJ embodies the mission statement of Iron Legion. Simply cannot recommend her--or Iron Legion--enough.

I just hit my 1 yr anniversary of training/lifting at Iron Legion. This year has been transformative for me! The stars aligned when I met Coach AJ! From day 1, the connection was immediate. Anything you could ever want in a trainer, she brings to the table: knowledgeable beyond belief (mind, body and spirit), patient, strong, encouraging, funny and always ALWAYS 100% present!!
I've learned more about myself and strength training than I thought possible. And I have fallen in love with lifting. It's because of AJ and all the other supportive & collaborative coaches at Iron Legion. Do yourself and your concept of longevity & strength a favor and walk thru their doors! You will not be disappointed. #liftforlife

I’m so grateful for having found Iron Legion! Such a warm and supportive environment. My entire family trains with Kaleigh, who is not only beyond encouraging, but also incredibly skilled at working with our unique injuries and circumstances. I feel stronger than ever, in a way I wasn’t sure was possible given past experiences I’d had with limitations because of a knee injury. I notice both in and out of the gym that I’m feeling stronger, more stable, and have more stamina than I have in a long time. Workouts at the gym are fun and go by quickly, but also totally get the job done! I always feel like I truly belong there, and never feel self conscious about the level I’m at or communicating with Kaleigh about what my body needs on any given day. Love it there!

Iron Legion Strength Co. is way more in the gym. They live by their motto “Lift Heavy Be Kind” not just by talking the talk but walking the walk. Between the annual Operation change charity deadlifting to helping local families during the holidays. When you walk in the gym, everyone greets you by name and with a friendly smile. Jon, the manager is eager to answers questions and assist you. A special shootout to my amazing coaches Andy Tucker and Trevor Gallant who truly inspire and encourage me to continue my 142 lb weight loss after a horrific experience at a different gym. Would recommend this place and Andrew Herman the nutritionist to absolutely everyone. When you are there, you are family.

I train with AJ at Iron Legion and she’s phenomenal. I was so intimidated to join a gym because I didn’t know how to use gym equipment, how to have proper form doing different exercises, and I also just didn’t know where to start. I looked for a trainer and found AJ online. At the beginning, she helped me build the foundation of strength training. At this time I’ve been consistently working out with her for 10 months, 2x a week, and I feel so confident. I have learned SO MUCH! I truly feel like my life has changed and improved since I started working out with her. Every week I look forward to my sessions because I know I’m going to be uplifted, supported, and in a positive environment. If you are looking for a passionate and knowledgeable coach look no further!

Started here because I was stuck in a dead end job, new mom and just generally feeling like the 9-5 was going to be my end all be all. Walking in I was so nervous, I wasn't sure who I was meeting and what it would lead to so I walked around and knocked on a few doors looking for Kaleigh. Then I saw the sign on the wall "check your coats, insecurities and doubts." And I did just that. Kaleigh came and greeted me and we got started right off. Just a little over a year later and I am gunning for a 200 lb deadlift and haven't felt more like myself since I walked into that gym and found my trainer. What they're doing here is fantastic and I can't wait to see what comes next!

I’ve been seeing AJ for almost a year now at Iron Legion and wow I never want to go back to solo sessions at big box gyms. AJ’s knowledge is incredible! Her programs are fun, creative, and well tailored. When I had a hip injury AJ was quick to give me alternative exercises, several different kinds of stretches, as well as her patience as I worked through it. She knows how and when to push her clients. My confidence at the gym has skyrocketed because of the building blocks AJ has provided. I’ve never seen such an attentive trainer before. She listens to any concerns I have and answers my endless questions. I am so grateful to have found Iron Legion and AJ. I work smarter not harder during every workout and my growth has been immeasurable. The gym itself is friendly, encouraging, and just fun!

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!

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!!

Working with a trainer and powerlifting are two fairly new experiences for me. Both things kind of scared me but so did the idea of aging without doing everything I can to increase my strength. Iron legion was highly recommended by a family member so I reached out. Every single time I walk into this gym I feel supported, encouraged, and strong. Coach Kaleigh is knowledge and caring. She asks questions, listen to the answers, then builds program accordingly. I can’t imagine this strength building journey without her!!

I had a botched back surgery in 2008 and have struggled with chronic pain and weakness since then. It was very difficult for me to engage in consistent exercise.
Andrew H. at Iron Legion is helping me to understand how my body and muscles work. I have been working out with him consistently for the last 8-9 months. As a result I have less fear around movement, have more strength and a greater range of motion. I’ve even started adding workouts at home. He has shown me that movement really can help with pain relief.
I would highly recommend him to anyone especially if you’re recovering from an injury or want to get moving again.

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!!

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.

I walked in with zero confidence and no experience in a weight room. Now I walk in confident and ready to tackle any workout no matter how I’m feeling that day.

The whole staff and community of lifters at Iron Legion are so supportive and encouraging. Would highly recommend coming in even if it’s just for a consolation to see if the Legion is a good fit for you.
I also want to give a huge shoutout to my amazing coach Kaleigh. She has become a great friend and has truly taught me that being strong is feminine and that no matter the setbacks you can still get stronger!

What do you look for in a gym? Here is what I look for and found at Iron Legion Strength Co.
1)a clean gym
2) well maintained equipment
3) knowledgeable staff who explain why and how certain a exercise is working various muscle groups
4) small class size, no more than 6 members per coach. In a hour class, you receive feedback and encouragement from the coach
5) coaches who are 110% committed to my fitness goals
6) coaches who know your name and will text you to check in on your progress
7) members who cheer and encourage you during your workouts
8) I can use chalk and swear
I have lifted for over 30 years and have always wanted to compete in a powerlifting competition. I never felt I was good enough, but that changed this March. I competed and I owe that to my Iron Legion Strength Co. family.

Looks like your traditional gym. Squat racks, weights, bars, dumbbells... its all there. Thats about where traditional ends.Its the people that separates them from everyone else. Down to earth trainers. Trainers who genuinely want you to succeed. Lift heavy be kind is not just some slogan to pull people in its a mantra. I dont think in all my time in gyms I have had every trainer in a facility say good morning or hello when I walk by. I walked in after a back injury and had zero confidence in my ability to lift anything. Working with Lauren Strong I have already surpassed any expectations I had of feeling strong again. Her patience and consistency keep me coming in every week. Lift heavy be kind. You cant ask for much else in trainers.

I have been to many "gyms." Iron Legion is the only one I actually look forward to going to. Figuring out how to lift weights on your own can be intimidating. Perhaps that is why I never really "lifted." A few months back I decided to give Iron Legion a try to add some variety to my workout routine. I still run, do boot camps, yoga, etc... but weight lifting has become my FAVORITE! Iron Legion is not like big box gyms that want your money. (No commitments) The trainers are so kind and are invested in your progress. Nothing about being at Iron Legion is intimidating and people of all shapes, sizes and levels of fitness go. They offer women and men's (separate) groups every day multiple times a day so fitting in a workout is accommodating to anyone's schedule. They also offer private and semi-private personal training. Each workout is designed around a main lift: squats, dead lifts or bench press with complementary exercises. I always have a sense of accomplishment when I leave and can't wait until my next workout.

Iron Legion is a preeminent leader, not only with strength training, but also with supreme customer service and kindness. From day one training with them, you feel inspired to be your best self. No judgements passed. Clear goals, and technical advice on lifting heavy, but safely. As a health care provider, I would strongly recommend my patients to seek their guidance. I have a renewed interest in weight training with their approach, which attacks not just the physical aspect of strengthening, but also fortifies the mental side of things.

I have been a member of this gym since August of 2018. This has been my first and only experience working with a personal coach and I cannot say enough how much I love it!! All of the coaches here are so nice and friendly and make the environment fun and welcoming. I never once felt intimidated coming here as they work very hard to keep the gym a warm welcoming place. For me it’s the little things like how friendly and supportive everyone is. We celebrate each other’s accomplishments and it truly feels like a family.
I feel very fortunate to be a part of this gym and that it has come into my life. I would 100% recommend Iron Legion to anyone!

I never thought I'd join a gym -- I have my own simple set of weights etc. and have been doing a little lifting and exercising, here and there, at home since age 12. I had seen an ad on Instagram or FB and had seen the shirts "Lift Heavy, Be Kind" around the time, a few years ago, that I was interested in moving past my objection to "the gym." Personally, I was not accomplishing or gaining the physique I wished to have from "hitting the weights" every now and then, for five maybe fifteen minutes, and then not again for an extended period of time. So from being witness to my lady's personal fitness interest I got the nerve and made the connection. I first met with Lauren for my intake. Right off, I got a great feel from the old mill location, old wooden floors and weight machines and racks in every room. Then I chose a Men's group over personal training and have been Coached by Julian in a group once a week for almost a year now. And Love It! Just a bunch of dudes pumping iron, bright and early.
The incentive and guidance from the online community is incredible. Scott and the Iron Legion staff are A1.
Also, (total side note) my mother asked at Christmas if I was "still going to that gym I had told her about in the spring?" I told her, yes. And she replied, "Well, It Shows!"

This is a unique environment! The badass, knowledgeable and accomplished coaches continually educate, motivate and challenge. The group environment under the direction of coaches, is unlike any other lifting/gym experience I have known and I am pleased with the gains month after month! I am so grateful to have found this gym and blessed to be part of the Iron Legion Strength Co. family! It has been a life changing experience!

I can’t say enough about this place. I’ve always been a relatively active guy with pick up sports leagues, running, etc. but never felt comfortable going to the gym to weight train. I’ve never experienced the “right” way to lift. How far apart should my hands be on the bar... how much weight should I try... how the heck do I move these guides to the right height... these are questions that I asked myself while staring at the weight equipment. So end result, I never lifted because I felt too intimidated and overwhelmed. I started with Iron Legion almost 2 years ago. They take the time to understand your goals and your comfort level. Within the first 5 minutes of meeting with one of the Trainers, I was at ease. We tested weights to find out where we should start and set goals to progress. I can say after almost 2 years of going twice a week, I couldn’t ask for a better Trainer or gym atmosphere. They promote such an inclusive environment that there isn’t an ounce of intimidation. If you’re looking to get started, definitely check them out.

Working with the trainers at Iron Legion has been life changing for me. They have helped me to become physically and mentally stronger. They know when to push me harder and encourage me with every step of the way. They take time to really individualize each clients plan to their needs. Every single one of them is incredibly friendly and helps you feel right at home. It’s super convenient to get to which I love and offers a wide range of hours and flexibility. I wholeheartedly recommend Iron Legion to anyone and everyone and can say they are the best of the best!

I have been going to a variety of gyms over the last 25 plus years but I have never had the positive results like I have had in the last year and a half since I have been going to Iron Legion Strength Co. Cori and all the other coaches are so knowledgeable and encouraging and at the same time know how to push me beyond what I ever thought I could do. I am stronger now than I have ever been and can’t imagine my life without my workouts. Thank you Scott for making your dream a reality!

I've been working with Andrew at Iron Legion for about 2 months now. I love this place - so much so that I despise early mornings and now eagerly wake up early on weekends for a Men's Life session. On top of the group sessions - which are fun, full of energy, and a great workout, I meet weekly in a one on one session with Andrew. One on one's have been great as I learn form and on how to build a comprehensive workout plan. All of the coaches are amazing - know your name, throw out encouragement, and make it a place you want to be.
I've worked out for years, but with the coaching and sessions I actually am confident in what I am doing and feel like I belong in the gym. I feel better about myself and have never felt stronger.
100% give it a try if your sick of the old, lame ways of training and gym "classes" that are uninspired and predictable.

This gym changed my life and continues to do so. All the trainers are amazing. I have been going to Iron Legion Strenght Co. for 3 years now. The encouragement, support and friendships are like no other gym. It's a family! Everyone makes you feel welcome no matter what size you are or level of fitness you are at....everyone is treated the same. When you are down everyone is there to pick you up. Scott, Alex, Corey, Lauren, Marisa, John, Julian and Andrew you rock and have changed my life! Thank you!

Amazing place and coaches! So much more than just a gym- try it and you’ll love it! If the thought of strength training or lifting weights intimidates you, this is the place that will make you feel comfortable! If going to the gym makes you self conscious or want to roll over in bed under the covers, this is the place where gym days will become your favorite days!
If you are feeling out of shape, overweight, insecure, fed up with other gyms, unmotivated and unhappy, curious about trying something new, if you’re a pro or a novice, if you have a PULSE, this gym is for you :)
You will be welcomed, supported, challenged, and fulfilled- you will be the strongest you you’ve ever been.

This place totally changed my life and the way I think about health and fitness. The physical strength is only a small part of the positive changes I’ve seen since joining over a year ago. I was never comfortable in a gym environment but the entire team at Iron Legion makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk through the door and they stop at nothing to make you the best version of “you” you can be!

The gym rules say it all. Joining the Iron Legion is a health resolution you’ll keep for life. Life Heavy Be Kind!

The thing that sets Iron Legion apart from other gyms in the area for me is its people. The trainers are some of the best humans you'll ever meet, who show genuine passion for their work and the clients they support, all while pushing you hard to reach your goals. The people who train here emulate the attitude set forth by the staff, supporting one another in and out of the gym, creating an environment that is motivating but non-competitive, where regardless of your ability, age, and background, you feel that you belong. I have dozens of cheaper gyms or ones with more bells and whistles within ten minutes of where I live, but none of those things matter if the environment is a place you don't want to go. The energy and community at Iron Legion is bar none.

I have had a roomful of gym equipment and weights at the house gathering dust for several years. 5 months ago, I decided I needed to make some changes and dusted off the gym gear. I quickly realized that the stuff I thought I remembered from high school was no longer there. I needed help. I reached out to the folks at Iron Will (now Iron Legion) and set up an appointment.
My goal was to learn to use what I had at home - different that what most folks are looking for. I was not looking for daily or weekly sessions at the gym, I wanted to learn to use what I already had with guidance. I was fortunate enough to get paired up with Andrew. We had a great initial session and put together a basic plan for me to try at home. From there it just took off. I meet with Andrew monthly, but we interact on a regular basis. He reaches out to me, checking in asking what is working, what is not, any strains or pains etc. He then comes up with a new plan each month based on any changes, feedback and or goals. At the session we go over the new plan together, working on and reinforcing form and technique.
The planning, follow-up and support for my personalized program is fantastic. Check them out, they will not let you down. They will embrace you, support you and encourage.

These folks know what they're talking about! Come one, come all attitude. You can be young, middle aged, old, too skinny needing meat on your bones, just right, very overweight, whatever ! You always feel welcome and everyone is there for one purpose. To be strong. To fuel your body. They hold you accountable. They understand when life happens and you need a break. The owner Scott does these amazing blogs about life choices we all make that is empowering. I've never seen a place have so much comraderie. You will not be disappointed one iota for giving this place a chance to enhance your life. You'll walk away stronger physically AND mentally.

Seriously, there's only 5 stars to rate, but I want to give them like a billion... simply put, this place rocks. Not just the atmosphere, but also the kickass coaches and support they give you. The fact that you can go to an All Women's class and have training specific to meet your needs is really the best. I love the camaraderie and the way that they will push you to meet your goals. Plus the playlist are sick :)

This gym is just awesome. The trainers are so supportive and so friendly. I've been training with Marissa one on one since October and recently started the gauntlet (HIIT) and absolutely LOVE that in combination with strength training! It's made a huge difference in how I feel and I'm confident by next month the difference will show in how I look as well! The gauntlet is a 30 minute workout of 8 exercises (60 seconds of exercise 30 seconds rest, 2 times through). Love love love this place and the people that make it all that it is!

This is the best gym I've ever been to and Ive managed to stick with it for more than a few weeks. I love this gym because they are encouraging and they push me to work harder. If you've been considering a lifting regimine try IWS. I was a total novice but have been taught accuracy and form over reps and gains. They consider the whole person and really push for a change in diet to gain all you can from your sessioms at IWS. I have no current plans to ever leave this gym so if you decide to give it a whirl, I'll see you there, Welcome!

I can't possibly say enough good things about Iron Will Strength Studio. My strength training journey is fairly new, but I'm so glad I started it there. Why? Friendly, knowledgeable trainers who take a genuine interest in their clients, and a fabulous camaraderie that's off the charts! "Can't" and "impossible" are not in the vocabulary, and every time I leave there I'm not only physically stronger, but mentally and emotionally as well. It's never too late to try something new, or find your strength. This is the place to begin!

Iron Will Strength rocks! This place has changed my life forever, I was one of those cardio guys that never lifted weights. It has been quite a process to experience the change in me since I've been lifting. I feel better, stronger and look forward to lifting twice a week. The trainers are all super nice but very motivational.

I came to iron will shy, uncertain, and self-conscious. There are so many positive women at iron will of all body types pushing you to be your best, so that all soon faded. I have grown so much and have seen others grow around me as well. I can confidently say I am stronger, I look better, and I feel great. Is it weird to say I actually look forward to working out??!!

Started going to Iron Will a few months ago in a quest to lose weight and found so much more. The atmosphere is infectiously positive, the trainers are all positive and love their jobs. The group classes have been a great fit for someone that would love to lift weights but looking for the support of others and under the wing of a trainer. They can be a bit pricey because you are going for personal training but you can go at your own pace, group classes are much cheaper when you get there and depending on your finances and supplement with home/gym workouts and your first visit is free. Also they have a monthly on your own time workout called the Gauntlet which kicks my ass, 8 stations, 60 second work and 30 seconds rest then rotate, after two circuits through anyone would get a huge workout. Tons of love for this place.
