This is the best gym in Minneapolis. I was surprised by how welcoming the staff and the other members are. They have the best equipment you will not find anywhere else. I recommend this gym for everyone, whether you’re a total beginner or a pro.

Very nice gym with a plethora of equipment and a nice staff! I have to deduct a star unfortunately because the gym is essentially one giant room, and their is a microwave people use to heat their left overs so the gym routinely smells like people’s re-heated leftover salmon or tuna which makes me nauseous while lifting heavy. I am talking the entire gym smells like it 😔

This is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to. I have never looked so forward to hitting a lift. I have been to many different chain gyms and nothing compares. Iron Alliance has best equipment, great snack and beverage selections, and friendly staff. 11/10 recommend.

I joined about 18 months ago and have since left. The equipment was solid and made some great friends. However, it was not long until cracks began to appear.
I made two complaints about significant issues including some truly bad behavior. Not only were my concerns swept away, but those that committed these bad behavior were part of the “inside clique”. Nothing was ever done to address the issues. This is a relatively small gym and you would think the owners would get to know nearly everyone. That never occurred and in fact often they ignored the members.
Sorry to leave but many have left.

Iron Alliance is unmatched in so many ways. I make the trip from St. Paul to Burnsville on the weekends--knowing that just merely having access to superior equipment is enough to make it worth the trip for me (my local St. Paul gym can't hold a handle to IA). I can honestly attribute a lot of my growth as an athlete and bodybuilder to having superior equipment available to me even just a few days a week. The community is next level, the atmosphere has never been anything less than warm and welcoming, and I genuinely feel at home when I walk in. Being around other individuals that train hard and take their growth seriously has had such a positive impact, too. Their involvement in the local bodybuilding scene is also next level--having been to numerous workshops and seminars hosted at IA, directly and officially affiliated with the NPC/IFBB has easily given me a leg up as a competitor--there's no where else locally that can give that kind of access and information. Iron Alliance is truly one of a kind.

I have nothing but good things to say about Iron Alliance! I've been a member for a little over a year now & I love the environment, the staff, owners and the athletes that go to Iron! Everyone is extremely friendly, I always feel welcome when I walk into the gym. They have a HUGE variety of equipment. I definitely recommend this gym to anyone who loves being apart of a healthy community!

Paid about $20 for a day pass, using a QR scan. If it’s your first time here, just ask the staff where the QR code is and they’ll point you in the right direction. There are no shower facilities, but they do have a refrigerator, sink, and space for your own meal or buy ready-to-eat meals

Staff is very helpful and friendly

Def worth it!!

i can’t really say there’s a lot of good to say about this gym.
1. the owners are stuck up and rude. they never talk to anyone else other than the people they train, they are not welcoming at all to their members which is funny because they always talk about how the environment of their gym is important but they act like they couldn’t care less which leads me into my next point
2. the environment sucks. i’ve heard one of their trainers talking poorly to her boyfriend about her client saying she shouldn’t be proud of her progress cause she still looks bad. both my friend and i had issues with people being creepy or rude there and both times we went to the owners they were very dismissive and rude. they seemed so annoyed we even brought it to their attention. they always say to bring things to their attention cause they can’t fix what they don’t know but then get mad at you for speaking up and change nothing. a guy was calling me a laundry list of names and being creepy and weird with other girls and the owners talked to me and said they didn’t know whether to continue to let him go there still. a lot of the people there have massive egos and think they’re better than everyone else. it’s not a place for growth, it’s just groups of grown adults in cliques.
3. the actual gym itself. all they have is leg equipment, their gym is so overcrowded you’re basically stepping over people every way you turn. they only have like 1 of each machine so you’re definitely gonna be waiting for awhile. their bathrooms are absolutely disgusting. it seems like they almost never get cleaned, i’ve noticed they’re cleaner on certain days and it depends on who’s working that day but they are almost always so gross. not to mention, there’s only 2 of them so again if you have to go to the bathroom or want to change (cause there’s no locker rooms ) it’s gonna be another long wait. they also never have the AC on, they only started turning it on around their show when they knew people were coming in cause they didn’t want people to see how hot it really is. it’s been 87° in there before and they won’t turn on the AC because it’s “too expensive” but then when their show comes, they’re closing doors and turning on the AC cause people are coming and protein bars are melting- good to know protein bars mean more to them than the folks who pay their bills.
honestly this gym isn’t worth it for the price you pay, you’re better off just going to a commercial gym like planet fitness

As someone who's spent 20 years in the fitness industry as both a participant and health and fitness professional, I flew across the country to witness this gym coming together, and it's nothing short of incredible. Heart and soul was poured into every inch of this facility. Having visited gyms across every corner of the United States, you will not find a better facility in the south metro.

I just joined the gym a few days ago because my previous closed. The staff is very considerate and helpful. It's nice to come to a place where there is gym etiquette; whereas at my last gym, people hardly ever re-racked their weights, put equipment away, or wiped machines after use. At IA everyone does. It's also inspirational that the owners are bodybuilders in phenomenal shape!

Iron alliance is a go to gym for me because the equipment is top-notch and the environment is always friendly. Not to mention, the staff is always kind, The gym is always clean, Their posing room is huge and everything is laid out very conveniently! Iron is a gym that I will go out of my way for when I am down in the Minneapolis area because most gyms have one or two good qualities but iron surpasses multiple qualities that a gym should have! Plus they have really cool merch plus & protein options!

I did a posing seminar at IA a couple years ago and I remember saying to myself "working out here is the dream"
It took a while to get that to work for me, but it is more than worth the 45min drive.

I recently started working with a trainer there and it has everything you would ever need. Not only the machines, but the people. Some of the people may look intense, huge and scary 😆 but I've witnessed firsthand that they are more than happy to give you a spot or show you how a certain machine works (there are a lot)

When you walk into Iron Alliance, you can feel that there is no judgement, because no matter where you are in your journey, you can feel that everyone is on the same journey and that's just to be better

I’m in the 40 and up club….prior to coming here I felt weak and had pain from old sports injuries. Maddie has been my trainer for over a year and is absolutely PHENOMENAL ….in a hip that is torn and will eventually have to have surgery….she has helped reduce my pain by over 90%….most days I don’t even notice it! There are a bunch of us 40 and up that come in the mornings that I affectionally call “the breakfast club”….we come in, handle our business and go live our lives. Love this place!

I started going to this gym a few weeks ago. The things that surprised me the most and have honestly helped me make gains are the equipment and the environment. I didnt know how much of a difference those would make on my training. Everyone here is really chill and focused on working out and making gains. The staff are all extremely friendly and super smart and make funny videos

Honestly what makes this gym the best is the s-tier equipment. Every piece of equipment I’ve used here feels top notch. You don’t feel weird or uncomfortable, especially on the leg and chest machines like most gyms like Lifetime or LA fitness, all have random machines that feel uncomfortable then just barbells but here, it’s like every machine is designed for bodybuilders or anyone wanting a good workout.

Today on a busy Saturday during my workout, one of the gym owners found me and handed me my wallet containing my credit cards and license, saying someone turned it in. That’s pretty insane and shows the character of the people who lift here and the team who could have easily ran up my credit card or just left.
Very happy i found this place

Great for all levels! Beginner to pro!

After working out at commercial gyms my whole life, I can say I wish I had a gym like this when I was starting out. If you’re a gym newbie, please don’t be intimidated by the amazing physiques you might see here! Everyone here is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and you will get a level of support that you would never find at any big commercial gyms.

Their equipment is amazing and they will show you exactly how to use them with no judgement and they even have tutorials on their Instagram if you’re too shy to ask.

Everything is so clean here and it’s just an amazing space. The bathrooms are really nice and have great lighting as well :)
The mornings are not very crowded at all and I always am able to get the equipment I need for a great workout. Pricing was also very straight forward and there’s no hidden fees at all which is rare to see at a gym!!

One of the owners, Paige, has made my experience here even better. I tried out Iron Alliance last winter before moving here and 8 months later, she remembered me! It meant so much to me and she is just a beacon of kindness. She and the other owners and staff really care about their gym members. I appreciate everything they do to keep the gym so clean and the kindness of everyone here!

I saw the great reviews and thought I would check it out, and it’s the best decision I’ve made since moving to Minnesota! I really hope this convinces you to at least try it out and I’m sure you will really love it.

I’ve been working out with my amazing trainer Maddie at Iron for some time now. I have noticed marked improvements in my physique at such a rapid rate.

Iron Alliance has turned into more than just a place to workout for me; the people and the passion here are truly infectious.

The pricing: what attracted me initially was the $75/month rate, but more importantly the “no hidden fees” B.S. that many gyms can’t promise. I gave them my CC and now I just get auto-billed. I hope that the rates do not change in the future as I think this is a great rate. I love that if I want a drink or snack from the front desk, they just charge it to my account.

The Staff: many gyms you may never see the owner’s face, but at IA there are 4 wonderful owners who are exceptional at interacting with customers and learning names. The trainers/coaches which include the owners are super personable, and they are great at giving everyone personalized programming while also instilling autonomy.

The Facility: The gym is full of great equipment and is kept very clean. The equipment is organized very well. In my time here, there has only once been a machine down for brief maintenance. There are day use lockers and rentable lockers, and coat hook. I usually use a coat hook, and I never have to worry about anyone stealing my belongings. Though there are only two single-person restrooms, they are always kept clean and if something needs stocked, the staff are super responsive to feedback.

The GEAR: Iron Alliance has some great merch, and always has something new. The designs and colors are always great gym attire. I love seeing so many gym goers wearing IA clothes. Coolest gym gear by far!

I also like the charging station (for phones/ earphones) and the scale which are super accessible.

This gym is exceptional in catering towards the body building community. I do not train in this discipline, but the access this place gives body builders is the best in the area. There is a whole room to practice poses, and the coaches here can give specific programming and coaching for these athletes.

Overall, IA is a super welcoming community. I can ask anyone for a spotter or to work in, and there’s never hesitation. I commute from home or from work roughly 6-30 miles each day and it worth it, I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.

Iron Alliance Gym is the best thing to happen to Minnesota. Jeff, Kirsten, Derek, and Paige are incredibly kind, positive, and motivating humans who have created a culture of inclusivity and support amongst members. You are always met with smiles and waves immediately after entering the front doors. This is the place to train no matter where you are in your fitness journey. Each machine has been intentionally selected based on the owners’ own research for highest quality movement pattern and range of motion, and there is a great mix of “standard” gym equipment and unique equipment that makes working out fun.
This is truly a place like no other. I look forward to working out every single day because Iron Alliance feels like a second home.

This gym is one of the best in Minnesota for lifting. It’s clean, open and has great machines for technical lifts! The space was well lit if you want to take photos and the staff was helpful.

I initially signed up for Iron because of the wide variety of machines - As a disabled individual I rely heavily on machines for my workouts. The variety and quality of machines is far beyond any gym I’ve visited, which has greatly improved the quality of my workouts.

Alongside equipment, another big draw to Iron is the strong sense of community and togetherness. I can say without a doubt that Iron is the friendliness and most welcoming gym I’ve visited - There is a strong current of respect and humility throughout the community, in which everyone, from IFBB pros to first-time gym-goers, is regarded with the same esteem.

I highly recommend this gym to any fitness level and to anyone looking to level up their training and/or sense of community.

Best gym I’ve ever been to, being an overweight man not knowing much when it came to working out, it was scary coming in here with my friend, one of the workers, a bald man with a beard I think recognized my fear of being in this new gym and came up and offered a tour and even showed me how to use a few machines, coming here for the past 2 and a half months has been amazing and unlike other gyms I’ve been to, everyone here is extremely friendly, being a fat man is hard being in the gym but when people come up and let you know that you’re doing a good job is very rewarding, if I could experience this place for the first time again I would do it 1000 times.

Best gym I’ve ever been to. Minnesota is plagued with chain-everything and to finally have an independent gym outside of the cities with modern, optimized machines and equipment is a godsend. The owners are lovely people and made me feel so welcome. I can feel a level of respect here between the gym members and the owners that isn’t present at the chain gyms in the area. I won’t be going anywhere else. I want these guys to do well. Thank you Jeff, Kirsten, Paige, and Derek for filling a huge void in the south metro with an incredible gym!

Amazing gym & owners!!!!! So many cool and unique pieces of equipment. Many of the machines allow you to adjust it so you can focus on different parts of the lift. I've never seen that at a gym. Its the first gym where I could reach and grip the handles for the leg extension machine too. There is a posing room, which is incredible if you're a competitor. Definitely a gym where it'll bring out the inner savage and motivate you to train hard. Do yourself a favor & check it out!

Can't say enough good things about this gym. I live about 30 minutes away but the culture, ownership, and quality make the drive more than worth it. The people you'll find working out there are all pursuing growth regardless of whether they're new or have decades of experience working out; the owners are incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and have hand picked a lot of the pieces in the gym; and the pieces of equipment that you'll find there are not only top of the line but are incredibly well-maintained. Would highly recommend checking this gym out (and then signing up for a membership when you get hooked after your first workout).

Iron Alliance truly lives up to its name. It has the best environment— from the welcoming owners who are there willing to walk through the entire gym to break down each piece of equipment and educate you, the friendly gym members who push one another to become better, and the elite equipment at hand. Every piece of equipment has been hand picked, no filler pieces, providing the best training sessions. Iron Alliance has quickly become my second home!

If I could give Iron Alliance more than a 5 star review, I would. Between the amazing equipment, cleanliness and atmosphere, I couldn’t be more impressed. The whole Iron Alliance team is so welcoming and open to showing you how the equipment works and tips to be successful when using them. If you’re looking for a gym to grow and learn all while being surrounded with a great community, look no further than Iron Alliance.

You won’t find a better selection of equipment at any gym in MN. The owners clearly put a ton of thought and effort into sourcing machines and designing the space.

All the benefits of a hardcore gym, but the atmosphere is very welcoming for people of any experience level.

I just have a deep love for this gym! It’s more than just a gym. This place has an amazing energy because of the owners (Jeff & Kirsten Zahler and Derek & Paige Dolgner). They are so welcoming, helpful and uplifting. The machines are top tier. This gym has machines that many gyms in the area do not have and I think that’s pretty cool!!! Everyone that comes here is so nice and they are such hard workers so it just feels good training here! This is the best gym ever. 10/10 recommend ❤️🔥

Went to visit with my wife to check it out. Met the owner and a couple of front desk people, all were very outgoing without being over the top. Nice. Fantastic facility very clean and well laid out, filled with a ton of equipment. Was also filled with a TON of people, all who looked much more advanced than me. Having this many folks so quickly is good for business, I hope it scales well with interest.

Hands down the best gym in Minnesota and probably the Mid-West. It’s filled with unique equipment and the atmosphere is unbeatable. Above all else my favorite thing is how great the ownership team and community is. Immediately after I joined I felt a large sense of community and support. The owners are always down to chat or help and they really get to know you as a person. As long as I live in the metro I will never lift anywhere else. This gym is great for all types of people, whether you are into iron sport or just looking for a good place to workout. Everyone is helpful and knowledgeable and equipped to help at all levels of fitness.

One of if not the best gym in the area. They did a hell of a job hand selecting all the equipment brought in and are still in the process of bringing in more prime equipment. I've had the pleasure of knowing one of the owners Derek Dolgner for probably 10+ years and he's a great human being who loves what he does and it shows. If your looking for a gym ran by some one who takes pride in what they do, look no further this is your spot.

THE VIBE!! It’s “bodybuilder central”. Everyone respects each other here and it’s clear that we’re all here to work. As a bikini competitor, the posing room is also essential 👌🏻. All of the new, unique equipment has really revamped my workouts! I wish they had showers, but as a new gym starting out, it’s pretty elite!
