5 stars for Manny!!! Manny the front desk attendant has been our no 1 dude since he started. Not only has he provided service over and beyond the call of duty, but he's been friendly and warm with every conversation we've had. He helped me retrieve a lost airpod, helped me secure my membership, and has been an overall great and pleasant presence for this gym. In addition to Manny simply being the best, the gym itself is great. I've been here as a guest many times, and have finally committed to a membership. it's clean, it's fun without being obnoxious, and it's got all the equipment i need and then some. overall, a great experience, and a great workout. Thanks Iron!!

Editing my rating to add the details that are necessary. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! They use dirty tactics to trap you into a contract that’s never actually provided to you. The only way to cancel a membership is to call the phone number in the contract you sign on day 1. That contract is never provided via email nor hard copy so good luck getting a hold of anyone to cancel. I also don’t recommend any personal training from here. I never got what I was promised from the trainer. No personalized workouts or meal plans that I paid $500 for. This whole place is a scam. I tried having an adult conversation with the ‘Accounts Manager’ but she’s been rude, refuses to acknowledge that I never got what I paid for and lied about having provided me with a valid contract. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere that’s actually worth the headache.

In town for a few days for work and figured I would give this place a try. This is a no frills gym but it's clean and has an outdoor area as well. Loved that it was a no nonsense kind of place. Not trying to impress anyone except those that are serious about getting a workout in. I came back the next day as well. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in town. Towels, lockers and showers were also included. Heavy bags to hit and plenty of kettle bells if that's your thing.

Visited booking thru classpass. Gym is dusty, need deep clean. Old equipment that needs replaced. Bath rooms are gross! I do not plan on returning.

The gym has really strict rules that are not accommodating for powerlifting. There is no chalk allowed in the gym, no bags allowed on the gym floor, and management can be really rude if you do not know the rules (they don’t tell you them until after you sign up). The place was also very overpriced for a small gym with all amenities used as up-charges. The only solution for me was to cancel my membership.

I’m a visitor for 1 month. Expensive for 1 month at $200, especially given the level of service and facilities. They rarely have any towels (and the ones they have are tattered). The staff don’t even know the password to their wifi network. They’re college age.Pros: Equipment is fine. Not new. Generally clean. Not too overcrowded.

Since the lockdowns ended, Equinox was getting too busy for me to justify the ~$300 a month cost. Iron LA is equidistant from me and half the cost. To be Frank, I’ve always been more of the “let’s just workout” type than the “let’s hang out, hit the sauna, shower, talk to the girls, etc.” so it was a pretty easy transition for me.Iron has basically everything you need, although for some essential workouts there’s only one machine (ie Incline Barbell), so I end up modifying my workout on the spot more often. With that being said, there’s plenty of squat racks. Cardio section and stretch/ab sections are good and never full.

I visited here on Sunday, 07/12/2020, one day before they closed again due to government regulations regarding COVID-19. They gave me a free day pass to check them out.The gym has two floors and is equipped with everything you will find at any other gym; treadmills, rowing machines (only one), weights, dumbbells, kettlebells, med balls, etc. This is a quiet place to work out, and free parking at the back. Easy to get in and out. Women's restrooms were clean. You will likely find this gym run-down if you come from Equinox Club.The bottom line, this is a basic, no-frills gym.

New to the area I wanted to try a few gyms. IRON was great with friendly staff and all the equipment I normally use, and I could try it out for FREE. I had gone to 24 Hours on 31st and they wanted to charge me $25 to try it out - what a joke.

A very dirty gym. I asked multiple times to have someone clean it better. When I talked to the owner in person (I believe it was Don) on my last day he didn't even bother to spend an extra minute of his time to do a walk around and immediately dismissed all my complaints. I have never seen such a strong resistance to make the place better. The bathroom is literally filthy, but the owner said "it was not possible". It was so dirty I had to take paper towels and wipe down the sinks. Crazy how a gym that struggles to get to a certain number of membership subscriptions doesn't even care to retain the current ones. I cancelled mine as I refuse to literally be sitting in a pile of crap and, being a female, I don't want to support a very ignorant man who owns this place.

Hesitate to give the 5 stars it deserves because I don't want it to get overly crowded. Nice community, all the equipment you could want or need. Recovery room on-site, and parking! Downside would be small bathroom/shower area but I don't use that but in case you do, it's available but small. Love the outdoor space too. I spend most of my workout outside pretty much solo.

great gym for people looking for an upscale place to use free weights. Much nicer than others.

Excellent facilities, very professional staff and management. Couldn't have been happier with my experience at IRON Santa Monica. I joined in Sept 2021 and with the help of my trainer Brandon I was able to shed 80 pounds in less than eight months ... steady and sustainable weight loss and consistent progress. I would recommend IRON and Brandon to anyone starting out on a fitness journey or wanting to go to the next level of strength and power.

The gym is absolutely great. I used it while in the area for work.Good racks, platforms, and plenty of space.$25 for a day pass seems is excessive though.
