The gym is always clean. The equipment is always in good working condition. The owners are always friendly and helpful.

Everything at the gym is pretty nice and even has a sauna! Ive only met with an employee ( probably the owner) once because Ive went at night. Although the notes I see sometimes are not enlightening and a bit profane. But the equipment is great to use but also A bit pricey.

Absolutely amazing gym!! Extremely clean and well operated!! They have something for everyone. One of the best gyms I’ve ever been too!

This is what a gym is supposed to be like. Friendly staff, huge facility, great equipment variety, and a community feel. I highly recommend coming here if you live or are visiting the area!

Its a great gym. 24/7 access. Lots of equipment. I mean...what more do you want? Pick up heavy things, put them back down. Repeat. Get swole.

Super friendly staff. Good variety of equipment and amenities. Fair prices.

Excellent equipment. Very clean. Can be busy at peak times

Anti vacc based on flyers posted in the facility. Its one thing to ignore masking mandates at a gym, but quite another to discourage vaccinations entirely. Proceed with caution.

Awesome place, clean and huge variety of machines, free weights and power lifting area.

Awesome place to get your fitness on. Large facility with ample equipment, machines, cardio, weights and area for less common exercises. Locker rooms a bit small, but rarely used. Great sauna and ideal location if your into pushing a lot of weight with various platforms and racks to accomadate. Locally owned and operated, thank you.

It is a great gym and has lots of machines. I can choose to hit every part of my body ..No waiting .Best of all the sauna is a plus ...Takes of my lactic acid no soreness after workout.

Excellent gym! Staff is very friendly and helpful

A great place to work out.

Friendly members and great equipment complemented with a productive atmosphere

The owners, Matt and Dave, are very interactive with their business. Clean facility, especially in the COVID era. Love the 24/7 access so you can catch a workout when it is a good time for “you.” Strongly recommend-great place to workout. A lot of friendly members as well.

Great gym, no fuss about it. Its just a straight up great place to workout. Open 24 hours

Its hard to find a better gym ANYWHERE in the United States. TONS of weights, plenty of weight machines, cardio for days, PLUS USAPL power lifting, Olympic lifting, and high quality supplements.

Really great gym. Love the owner and everybody else I’ve talked to here. Worth the drive away from campus for sure. Actual bodybuilding equipment too.

Great atmosphere and pricing. I would advise buying by the year if you can afford the upfront cost. Gym is very consistently busy, local owners Matt and Doug are a pleasure to chat with. Very clean with daily cleaning staff and modern machines with any equipment you would desire.

Great Gym , rates are reasonable for membership , 24 Hr access, small supplement shop , & plenty of Gym equipment. I would recommend this Gym to anyone just starting out to serious athletes.

Best gym ever !

I’ve been to a lot of gyms and this one if by far my favorite. Matt is a super down to earth guy and made me feel welcome from the start. I have been traveling into Bloomington weekly and Iron Pit is a definite stop each time! It’s a large gym but still gives you that grunt style old school feeling. Absolute great selection of machines as well. As Simon would say from American Idol, it’s a yes for me💪

The best gym I have ever belonged to!! The staff is amazing and very knowledgeable! It is very clean and has state of the art equipment!!

Great space, super friendly staff, great selection of weights and equipment, only reason not 5 stars is some of the equipment is alittle on the older side, but still perfectly functional, highly recommend!

I Have been lifting for over 12 years and have yet to find a more diverse gym. I think the greatest part about the pit is the culture. People are looking to improve, plain and simple. If you stick around long enough you will see lots of things that will inspire you from the people that work out there. There is a large spacious cardio area, competition benches, lots of squat racks, several Lifting platforms for olympic lifting, and variety of specialty bars and tools for experienced lifters to use. In addition they have a large selection of machines for bodybuilders, and an ever growing selection of equipment for people interested in strongman training. The Olympic weightlifting area is ran and coached by Wil Fleming a world champion weightlifter. I could not recommend him more if that is something you are interested in pursuing. The gym is superb and definitely worth the drive for college students looking for a more serious workout environment.

Best gym in town! Equipment is all maintained and clean. As a female weight lifter I feel safe and comfortable going into and leaving this gym by myself. Everything one could possibly need in a true lifters environment you can find here!

This gym is quite amazing. The staff here is always very nice and helpful as they will answer any questions you may have. Plenty of free weights, weight machines, cardio machines, and free weight equipment. Turf grass area for crossfit activities, sauna, showers, changing room with lockers, and even an on site physical therapist if needed. Plenty of Televisions near the cardio to take your mind off the fact that youre dying. 24 hour key entree is always nice.

Great place to work out and the staff is amazing!

Great place to work out. Meets the needs of everyone, from a regular 9-5 type person to serious powerlifters.

Best public gym Ive been to, and by far the best gym in the area if youre serious about lifting. Cant think of a single complaint.

Iron Pit is a great gym, Matt the owner is such a great guy, the equipment is great there, there is a efficient amount of equipment for everyone to use.

Great place to work out. Nobody who works out here comes in to show off their new spiffy work out outfit, there is no fancy cafe attached to the place, no tanning booths, its a gym folks. You want to work out with people who have the same idea, this is the place to be. Need some advice about some workout issue, ask Greg, hes there a lot as a personal trainer, oh yeah did I mention he is a world champion lifter as well as teaching at IU. Matt and Doug are great as owners, always there and also always part of the scene, Doug is in the middle of the power lifting scene most mornings. One final thought, if you are old, fat and out of shape as I am, nobody is going to make fun of you and your efforts to get better, in fact its the exact opposite at the PIT you get encouragement .

Super friendly staff! Matt made us feel right at home when we dropped in for the day while in town. Loads of racks & even a Sauna!

Best gym around for people serious about fitness! They have everything, from tires to flip and sleds to a cardio area with TVs.

Matt runs a great gym. Always helpful and the place is always clean.

Excellent gym. Has a great vibe and clean environment . Welcoming staff and management.

Im so glad my friend (who is been a member of the gym for over 10 years) recommended me this gym. It has everything you can ask for and the owner is extremely friendly and helpful.

This is a great place for exercisers of all types to get a work out. They have great cardio machines, lots of cable machines, free weights, a powerlifting corner, and an olympic lifting area. Despite having some serious bodybuilder types, it is not an intimidating place to work out at all. Everyone is really friendly that I’ve met here.

Everyone is awesome. No one will judge you or bother you you unless you send positive social signals or ask for help, then they will be very friendly, generally knowledgeable and usually pretty jacked.The equipment is great, they have several squat racks, more than a dozen barbells, plenty of different plates and dumbbell sets, kettle bells, lots of cardio equipment, rowing machines, stair climbers, etc.The atmosphere is good for serious minded people who are there to make some gains. Lots of steel and concrete. Upon entering, you can feel your testosterone levels spike.

Best gym that I’ve found in Bloomington for powerlifting. They have plenty of space, squat racks, specialty barbells, deadlifting platforms, and lots of weight.The gym itself is very clean and well maintained. The people that work there are top notch too.I’ll be back.

STILL many members NOT obeying rule to clean equipment after using! Very frustrating!

Lots of equipment. No judgement. Making gains here I didnt at others, and its cheaper for the couple package than what we were paying to be at Planet Fitness black card.

Great value! A lot of equipment and a nice sauna.

Iron Pit is the single greatest gym I have ever been apart of! The atmosphere has an old school nitty gritty feel that makes you want to get in kick your workouts butt! The gym is fairly busy from 3-8 as all gyms will be because most people are getting off work around those times! There is always something to do there with many variations for all your muscle groups! You should never run out of workouts to do or have to cut workouts short because of the business of the gym! There are 8 different areas to do your squatting ranging for squat racks to smith machines! The people that make up the population of the gym are all very kind and are not afraid to share the knowledge they have acquired over the years from all the other members! We are a group of people all trying to better eachother! Also there are many options for payments ranging from monthly payments coming out of your card to one single month for $45 with 3 and 6 month plans and a full year plan! Youre not limited on how long or short you are required to join! The two men who own the iron pit are both the nicest caring funny guys I have ever met! if you take the time out of our day to talk to them you would see the jeans they wear dont mean a damn thing!

Great atmosphere for those who really want to become healthier and more fit. Theres a huge variety of fitness and experience levels. Run by good people, and they have a ton of equipment, so its never hard to get what you need.

Most well equipped gym in Bloomington. The sauna is spectacular! The womens locker room is lacking a bit, however the rest of the gym is super pro!

Best gym in town. Matt and Doug are great. The facilities are perfect for a productive workout.

Open 24/7. Cheaper than most other places in town and its run by people that care about the community they have created. Plenty of options for all levels of experience.

This is been one of the best gyms around since 1995 when Matt and Doug open this place this has been nothing but great for the community. If you truly want to have a good workout and have some great personal trainers also this is the place for you 24-hour access and a great sign up if you need to shower afterwards there are three showers in the Mens room not sure about the womens room since I havent been in there

One of my favorite places on earth.Ive been at Iron Pit for about 5 years now. Its a clean, affordable, no-funny-business sort of gym. They get the basics really right, instead of trying to go with kitschy themes or trendy nonsense. Matt and Doug have created a truly welcoming environment for the bodybuilders, the powerlifters, the sportsballers, the operational athletes, and those newly embarked on a fitness journey alike, by providing versatile tools and a friendly place, instead of trying to play to one stereotype.I started lifting at Iron Pit when my joined my first civilian search-and-rescue, and realized I no longer had a bunch of well-muscled soldiers to back me up. My son started lifting there at age 12, as a geeky autistic kid, and Matt took a lot of time to help him feel confident in the gym, and random strangers even pitched in. Now I have a 15yo who values fitness and is really learning to take care of himself.

This amazing Gym is owned and operated by two of the greatest men Ive ever had the privilege of knowing. 24 hour access, clean and friendly staff. No matter your fitness goals, Iron Pit is THE place to go.

Amazing gym. Owners are phenomenal. Prices are fair. Cant beat it! Excited to see the new location.

Moved down here from Indy and was terrified I would end up having to work out at Planet Fitness until I found Iron Pit. Its 24 hours with keyfob access, and is in every way a dream for anybody interested in getting fit or strong. Lots of Hammer Strength equipment, lots of free weights, and great atmosphere.

I am moving soon and this is the ONE place I willmiss the most. The owners are amazing. My trainer, Jason Figley, has changed my life, teaching me the correct form when lifting weights and a nutritional program that I can follow for the rest of my life. I have been trying, with no luck, to find a gym like this in my new town. I am convinced this is a one and only type of gym. There are people of all ages, teens, stay at home moms, to 80 year olds. The atmosphere is exactly what you would want if you are serious about getting your workout in. This hidden gym is absolutely the BEST!!!

Best gym in Bloomington. Lots of equipment, never too crowded, friendly staff and gym goer. Excellent power lifting facilities with a decent amount of machines and cardio equipment.

Locally owned. Owners are knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly. Gym is clean, and offers 24-hour access.

The only gym in Bloomington that is truly helpful, caring and friendly. Join the IPG family

Amazing gym, tons of equipment, new location.

This gym is well over capacity. I started by trying to work out in the early evenings only to find it was overcrowded. My mistake, Its a popular time, I told myself. So I slowly moved my workouts back later and later into the evening. Always crowded. Always waiting in line. I finally get to the point of coming in at 11pm and its still packed. Good luck trying to find an open squat rack or bench. Instead, you will find them occupied by people who enjoy staring at themselves in the mirror or milling around the rack instead of actually using the damn thing. These people are occupying machines and racks while they text their friends. Ive lit a match to $120 (the minimum, 3-month membership) and I suspect that the owners (or whoever the old, obese folks are that hang around the gym in jeans) are aware of the issue as they appear to be in at all hours, also milling around and talking to the people using machines/racks further adding to the issue.A friendly atmosphere? Sure, if you consider friendly to mean being stared at by the people standing around not lifting the weights that they have racked up.A great place to workout? Possibly... at 3am. Presumably there might be few enough people in the gym at this time to NOT give the Fire Marshall a heart attack.I get that the point of a business is to make that money but its unadulterated scumbaggery to take peoples money when you know full well you are over capacity throughout the waking day. Its either time to expand or turn people away.If I could award this gym with a zero-star review I would not hesitate to do so.

Sweet place to workout

Favorite gym in town. Have spent countless hours here. Iron Pit for life!

If i still lived in Bloomington Id lift here. The owners are good people. The gym has decent equipment. Rates are reasonable. Ive never really tried lifting during rush hour so cant comment on that aspect. The locker room is nothing magical but its clean and gets the job done. If i could change one thing it would be the sauna. Co-ed saunas are pointless, as youre supposed to be naked (or wearing only a towel) when you use a sauna. Otherwise this gym is sort of what the HPER used to be, in a good way. If you are unaffiliated with IU or simply cant stand the students, this is the only serious weightlifting option in town.

Nice place.

The Iron Pit is kind of old school and a great place to work out. I was hesitant to go because I am so very far away from the competitive lifters that are a core part of the community of this gym. I have never felt anything but welcome. On the very rare occasions one of the serious weight lifters left more weights than I can manage to even move on a machine, it was handled with grace and humor when I asked for help.There will not be pizza parties. No one talks on their phone. It is a fine place to go be out of shape or amazingly in shape and work out. It is very mellow but quietly wlecoming. There is not formal no jerks policy but I have seen a couple of jerks come, but they go too. Or mellow out. It is a very no bs place to work on your next level, whether it is 20 lbs or 200 or more.All the trainers are independent. There is no up-selling or pressure. There is no judgement -- if you are there, you are working out, then you are in the right place.

Great place to work out, everyone is friendly, and its not a gym where people just seem to show up to show off. Im really happy I found this gym!

Glad to b back..its a start of normalcy for me👍💪

24 hr Olympic gym with friendly staff and patrons...go work off your stress after a warm up in the sauna!

A great place to get your life in shape.

Wasnt there

The new facility is incredible

Great trainers and equipment!

I cannot speak more highly of this place! I am a powerlifter and weightlifter who travels for work, and I have dropped in to dozens of gyms across the country...few are as affordable and welcoming as this. I need to work out very early in the morning when the gym isnt staffed, so Doug set me up with a guest entry key the night before. The drop in rate is only $8, which is a steal compared to the going rate of $20 for most barbell and crossfit gyms. To top it all off, there is both Olympic lifting and powerlifting equipment available in addition to all of the standard gym machines. Five stars, would love to drop in again if Im ever back in Bloomington.

Best gym in town with the best community of members.

I have had memberships at other gyms in the Bloomington area and none compare to the Iron Pit. They are equipped with a diverse range of training equipment and have the most courteous staff around. The Pit feels like a gym should, not a fashion show but a real training facility.

Best gym ever! For serious and novice lifters alike!

Great rates, 24-hour access, great equipment.

The best results of my life! Im so glad I joined!

Good friends, nice place to work out!
