This gym, WOW!! Ive never been to a gym before but I decided to join the 6 week challenge at Iron Empire. I have driven by them many times and always thought about joining but never stopped because, who wants an overweight, non athletic lazy person where people go and are serious about their health and bodies. Was I ever wrong. Sure I was intimidated my first day, walking in and seeing all these people with defined bodies, working hard, sweating, doing their thing. Then as I looked around I saw people just like me. Those that wanted a start and needed help doing it. Iron Empire did just that. They brought me and others in. They showed us how to eat better with meal plans and recipes. The trainers on site took their time and patiently showed us how to do the routines outlined in our custom workout plans. They pushed us respectfully, allowing us to listen to our bodies and do the best we can. And most of all they keep us accountable, to each other and to ourselves. Regardless, if you are a beginner, to advanced or anywhere in between, Iron Empire will help you get the results you are looking for. They did it for me. In 4 weeks I lost 24 pounds and reduced my body fat from 28.8 down to 24. Thats a 19% loss of fat, now adding lean muscle. Ive never looked and felt so good as I do since I joined 5 weeks ago. I recommend this gym to anyone looking for a home gym. You wont be disappointed.

This place is great! The equipment is brand new and state of the art, and the space is big and open. This gym is very friendly to avid strength athletes, so powerlifters and bodybuilders will be at home here. But if youre not a meathead, dont worry; the staff is SO friendly and kind, they will help you with anything youre not familiar with and do whatever it takes to make you feel at home. In fact, the staff is the single best element of this gym. They know their specialties well, and love to share with the members. I mentioned the equipment - Ill keep it short by saying that there are pieces here youve never seen before, and they are brand new. The staff will educate you on equipment youre not familiar with. Its a playground for avid strength trainers, and there is some cardio equipment too. But forget the treadmill; they have ropes and boxes for jumping and astro turf for pushing the sled/prowler. Thats WAY more fun than the treadmill anyway! This is the gym the NH Seacoast needed!

Iron Empire is the best gym Ive ever been to. Its a new gym that supports every style of fitness so theres something for everyone. The equipment is fantastic and the community is even better. It may look intimidating when first walking in but everyone is more than willing to give you a hand with either a spot or just some advice. The staff are top notch and truly masters of their craft, theres always something to learn from them. The new technique they practice called body tempering is game changing and youll only find it here in this region. After suffering from a couple injuries, through PT & body tempering I was able to get back to lifting a lot sooner. I cant say enough good things about this gym.

I love everything about this gym. The people are great. The trainers there are extremely knowledgeable and have helped me tremendously in my progress as a lifter. There is different areas in the gym for Crossfit, Strongman, Powerlifting, and bodybuilding. The equipment selection is very vast. I can say that Ive never had to wait for a machine. Since I am also a football player I like pulling/pushing sleds on the turf strip. In a nutshell this gym is perfect for everyone. If youre a competitive athlete or someone just looking to improve health and fitness starting at whatever level, this gym is the perfect place to achieve your goals.

Ive been waiting for this gym to open since January and it didnt disappoint!! If you are a serious lifter this is THE place to be. There is equipment here that you wont see.....GHR, only one of 2 gyms in NH to have a reverse hyperextension (the other is 40 miles/1hr from Dover), the only gym to have an inverted leg curl or a mono lift. I could go on!! Unlike other gyms around the staff actually knows what theyre talking about, lol. They know a bit of it all from powerlifting, bodybuilding to athletic training and nutrition. You really need to go check it out for yourself!!

My lifts have increased substantially since switching to Iron Empire a year ago and much of this is due to the excellent specialty equipment and services that is catered to lifters. The staff is committed to your progression and you can expect honest, knowledgeable feedback when carving out your weak points, plateaus, or techniques. It may sound hokey, but if youre looking to enhance your performance and achieve your goals, this is the place for you.

Greatest gym in the Seacoast area for people who actually want to get things done. This isnt your typical commercial gym where 50% of the folks are hogging machines and working their jaws more than their bodies. Iron Empire provides a place to workout for anyone regardless of age, skill level, or overall goal. It is a rarity to find anyone in here without a t-shirt drenched in sweat from working their tail off to get things done. I love Iron Empire!

This is the best gym in the seacoast, so much thought put into specific equipment for bodybuilders and powerlifters as well as a jungle gym. Trainers at this gym are very knowledgeable in these specific areas and are more then generous in the gym!! The owners of this gym are in there regularly and very friendly and filled with knowledge as well!! Clean, sanitary, and a friendly enviroment. If you want to make progress i highly suggest this gym!!

This gym makes me want to keep coming back, every day. There is a great mix of people with different goals and fitness levels, the staff is extremely helpful and friendly with a great deal of coaching and training knowledge. The specialty equipment is unlike any average gym, and the staff are more than willing to show you the correct form and use. Ive learned so much from being at this gym just under a year already, and it keeps me motivated!

One of the best gyms Ive been to, very helpful, acknowledge, everyone who goes their are great.. other gyms Ive been to dont make you feel welcomed. Iron empire does, Ive tried cross fit, kettlebell, each make you feel uncomfortable, iron is almost like a family. Every helps out, and pushes one another. They trainers are by far the best Ive meet and trained with. I highly iron empire, not an intimating gym at all.

Anyone looking for the gym that will help change their life for the better than look no further! This place has helped me learn so many new things about working out in general and I cant say thank you enough to the owners John and Jennifer for bringing this amazing gym to the area. The people here also make it feel like a second home, everyone is willing to help you out regardless of how experienced you are.

I started my squats and bench press "career" here. Good and impressive equipment, well trained staff who will be 100% ready to help/train/teach you, whats important - home-like atmosphere. If you want to learn training technique - thats the right place. If you bored in your old gym - Iron Empire is the right place. I wouldnt change Iron Empire to any other gym unless they will blacklist me :)
