Best gym I’ve ever been to. All of the members are incredibly welcoming and the owners are also some of best people I’ve met. Great variety of equipment that’s not in a standard chain gym. Truly a gym that puts members first.

Absolutely love this gym! I've been there since before COVID. They have good equipment and a great community. Ownership has always been very customer focused. I look forward to many more years at IPG!

Old school gym. Feels like home. Ron and Sondra run a tight ship. Always clean and tidy. The members know the drill and do a great job keeping things where they belong and wiping equipment clean after use. Plenty of equipment. I like it here.

IPG is a great gym. It's not a big gym but it has everything you need to get the work done. I've been working out there for about a year and have never had a problem getting on the equipment I need. The gym is always clean and the equipment is well maintained. If you looking for a gym to stand around a gawk and play with your cell phone, IPG probably isn't for you but if you're looking for a gym to go in and get the work done, IPG is a great choice.

Iron Plate Gym has become one of my favorite places to train. The atmosphere is motivating without being intimidating, and the team here is always welcoming. The equipment is top-notch, the gym is kept clean, and I genuinely look forward to my workouts. If you’re looking for a place where you can push yourself and feel supported, this is it.

Ron and Sondra are the best. They are amazing humans, and run a tight, safe, ship to ensure everyone who is a member feels comfortable and protected when working out! I have been a member for several years now. And, my husband was one of the first to sign up at their gym! They want members to feel safe and welcome and they do a great job at that. When you are working out and they are there - they greet you and chat with you! And, frankly - feel like family! We love it here and won’t go anywhere else. Men and women can feel safe working out, all while helping our service members have a place to go and hopefully find peace! Thank you Ron & Sondra! 🩷

This gym is fantastic! The facility is always sparkling clean and I never have to wait long for a machine. What really sets it apart is the staff—everyone is super friendly and genuinely helpful. The atmosphere is energetic but non-intimidating, making it easy for anyone to get a great workout in. Highly recommend checking this place out

We scheduled an appointment to look at the gym before joining. Ron was very friendly and helpful. There was zero pressure to join and he even mentioned a few other gyms to us that we might checkout before committing. We not only really liked the equipment available but also the safety precautions this company takes for their members. We have had a wonderful experience. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. The owners do a great job of ensuring it doesn’t get over crowded causing you to stand around and wait for machines. I have typically defaulted to planet fitness in the past but I won’t be returning!

I have been a member of Iron Plate for almost 4 years now, and it has been one of the best decisions I have made. As a veteran, I have found peace at Iron Plate. Strong sense of community as a veteran-owned business. The gym staff go above and beyond to keep the facility well-maintained and they genuinely care about each of their members and their journey. Can't beat a local 24/7 gym!

I’ve been lifting here since they have opened and I’ve enjoyed every second here. It’s a great gym with great equipment, great people and a great atmosphere I couldn’t ask for a better gym or better owners they take care of all of us members and treat us like family.

I absolutely love this gym!
My experience here has been amazing from day one. The space is super clean and very spacious, so you never feel crowded while working out. They have most of the equipment you could ever need, which makes it easy to switch up your routines and stay motivated.

One of the best things is that you can come at any time of the day it’s so convenient for my schedule. Overall, it’s a great environment, great setup, and I’m really happy with my choice. Highly recommend!

I really really enjoy this gym itself. Had a friend who was wanting to check it out. Really enjoyed it and was going to sign up after she left. Got a call from A very Hostile Lady sorry I don't remember her name. Calling her a Criminal I told her no reason for the hostility and told her we will leave and sorry for the situation and that yes charge me the violation fee. She hung up and I told my friend about what happened and went to clean up our work out stations before we headed out. She called back within 3 mins and threaten to call the cops, which she could clearly see i was being respectful to not leave a nice gym a mess. Just a crazy way for her to lose a new potential customer. Yes you can say I violated which ever rules that i didnt see. But Not everyone has normal work schedules so hard to come during the day. Either way the gym is nice with good prices 👌 just a really bad way to handle that and my friend won't be joining. (Addition) after reading some other reviews I seem to not be a one off who delt with this. Also before the this gym is primarily for Veterans comment is applied to this review, which cool. I am also one as well.

If you’re a fan of being left alone and comfortable when working out, this is NOT the place for you. Also make sure after signing up for the membership you wait for the owners direct and specific orders to tell you it’s okay to enter the gym. THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING as they do not have anything relaying this information to you and will instead call your number and act like you committed a crime with ridiculous attitude despite being presented with upmost respect. Overall, I think the abundant amount of bad reviews speaks for itself.

I went to this gym for 2 months while home from school. While the overall gym is ok, the customer service is not. After canceling my membership, I am continued to be charged monthly although I haven't attended in over 2 months. I have tried contacting to re-cancel after being told I was successful in doing so 2 months ago but have not gotten through to anyone. I am frustrated. Wishing I had gone to a more reliable and organized place. Contact me ASAP, I would like my money back, as this is a huge financial inconvenience.

I was searching for a new gym around the local area came across this hole in the wall place and figured it would be a good fit. Shortly after starting a membership here the customer service lady that I called for very basic information was extremely rude and unprofessional about giving me information further telling me that I need to find another gym and I would not be a
good fit at their gym because it's military people and veterans. I don't know any kind of business that would push away a customer before they even start! Further into the conversation she would not give me any information that I wanted told me I needed to read their rules and regulations which is fine but I never got a text message stating the rules that they have. So I just want to put this on here for future customers so they dont waist their time with unprofessional people and a very bad customer experience. Don't waist your time or your money.

Been going to Iron Plate for just over a year and it’s been the best gym I’ve been apart of. The owners are friendly and the facility meets/exceeds all of my needs. Super appreciative to have this non-commercial gym in our area.

I was a member at Iron Plate for well over a year. At first when I joined it was great and everythingwas so relaxed and care free. As time moved on the owners became more and more strict also controlling about everything that was done in the gym. They constantly mointored you over cameras to make sure that you did not break any of the rules even if it was a honest mistake. I and many of my friends who I got into Iron Plate would feel on edge and nervous that we would do something to upset the owners and their overly stict rules. When we did accidently break a rule we would in a matter of minutes recive a text ridiculing us for an accident. In once instance we called to apologize and never recived a response and was threatned to be put into time out. I came to Iron PLate to get away from Planet Fitness but endedup with my own personal lunk alarm. In conclusion, it was a good gym while it lasted but the constant nagging and prying eyes watching me while I lifted pushed me away to a better gym and facililty.

5 stars for equipment that I didn't get to use, 1 star for treatment by ownership that I didn't get to meet - averages out to 3 stars.

I hope that this is a 1 off story and will make the assumption that someone else would have a more positive experience during a random interaction with Iron Plate's ownership...

--

My brother in law is in the Air Force and just got back from deployment from Kuwait. I live out of town, but was back in the Milford area celebrating his return with our families. I recognized Iron Plate's dedication to the armed forces and police based on a picture of the flags that they have hanging in their gym. I thought this would be an exceptional workout given the reason I was back and the type of gym that Iron Plate seemed to be. I was excited for anything but the planet fitness I generally go to when I am visiting my parents. I wanted to chalk up and eat.

Iron Plate turns out to be a 24 hr scan in/scan out place.. No problem & nothing new - a lot of times these places have staff members present during the day. A member let me in and I asked if there was anybody present who worked there. No employees were present so I asked if there was someone that I could contact. I was given Ron's number (owner) by a member who was oddly nervous about upsetting ownership. I tried to call Ron several times and texted him asking if there was a way I could leave cash on a desk in exchange for a workout. I did not get a response so I continued hanging out, sitting on a treadmill 1 ft away from the door. The same member asked if I had gotten ahold of Ron. I said no and he gave me Sandra's number. I called her twice and she picked up the second time.

Sandra is married to Ron. I asked her the same questions that I texted Ron - since no one was there to take my electronic money/information, I was looking to make a cash deal to get a workout in. Sandra advised that they didn't do day passes due to tight insurance and that a $30 membership was the only way that I could get a workout in. $30 is very cheap for a month at an actual gym but is on the high end of what I was willing to pay for a single workout. While thinking about buying a membership for a single workout, I asked one last time if there was another way. She immediately became aggressive and said that I was trespassing and to get out of her gym. Alrighty then, walked out the door.

Roughly an hour later I am mid workout at Planet Fitness (the very one that I was trying to avoid) and my phone rings with a 513 area code. I answer, and it's the local police department. I could not believe it. I ran the police through the exact story that I outlined in the paragraphs above. I then told the police exactly where I was and that I would be there for the next 30-40 minutes if they would like to talk in person.

By way of the law, I am now formally banned from Iron Plate and am legally not allowed back. L-O-L, man.

Tough move by Iron Plate ownership given that I was originally very excited and was trying to give them money in exchange for a workout. I was contemplating signing up for a month long membership for *one* workout. I think that most people are good people, including Ron & Sandra. Although I will not play a part in it because I am legally not allowed, I wish your gym continued success.

The owners wife is constantly there and is a nag constantly looking at what are you doing and blaming you for things that aren’t your responsibility for four customer service I guess they don’t need the money cancel membership in the middle of the month we’re not wiping down a piece of equipment. Go someplace else get enough nagging at home I don’t need it at a place that I’m paying to join

Great gym with great owners. I would definitely recommend if you dont like the planet fitness atmosphere. Iron Plate has a hometown, slammin' plates atmosphere where you're free to put up heavy weight. But No matter where you are on your fitness journey, nobody judges you here. Grade A gym.
