Awesome place! We were over in Ocala for a week and ended up hitting the CrossFit classes all week as it was so good and the people very friendly.The owner and coaches were super accommodating, knowledgeable and helpful in all our sessions. It was also very easy to just drop in and pay per class.The regular members were also very friendly and generally a great atmosphere, especially as a foreigner.It's also a big space with good equipment and quality CrossFit workouts.Thanks To Ted & all the coaches! We will for sure be back next time we are in the US.

My husband and I enrolled our son in the kid's jiu-jitsu a month ago and she participated in four classes. Husband has a background in the martial art going back 15 years and was really hopeful that son would have a good place to start. The instructor seemed very knowledgeable about jiu-jitsu but at each class, there was total disorganization. For example, at the first few minutes, instead of stretching out a bit as a class, the 20 kids were supposed to cross from one side of the mat to the other in various positions. But instead of spreading them out or doing this in a circle, the kids were just helter-skelter and inadvertently hitting each other with feet and hands. This happened repeatedly and at each class. Basically, the instructor seems clueless on how to organize the kids for learning. He would ask them to circle around him to watch how to move, but instead of immediately having each kid to repeat the move, they would have to break off and each find a partner by themselves. Of course, the kids would pair up with someone they were more familiar with, so the new students were languishing. We feel that the instructor should pair up an experienced kid with the newbies so there would be a transition of knowledge. Eventually the instructor would pick up that the new kids were just standing around confused and he would amble over to try to teach the kids. But, again, said instructor seemed confused as how to ensure each move step was correct; he would try to push the arm or leg into position, instead of modeling one step at a time again. The last straw was class #4 when the instructor went to the far end of the mat to have a teen to try on a new gi for purchase. This took literally some 10 minutes of the class time, during which the kids were sitting at the end of the mat chatting. Why couldn't this purchase be done before or after class? A teen student at this time was apparently tasked with training the kids, but this teen was off on the side and just watching but not motivating or attending to the students. There seems to be no understanding of how to group the kids so they each have a turn and prove they understand the exercise or move. Finally, the atmosphere is atrocious, with the terrible din of crashing dumbells hitting the floor from a crossfit class at the same time. Weirdly, at the end of each and every class, the instructor would take time to pose the children for a group photo (why each class?). The Germanic "Wolf Brigade" and "Iron Legion" banners on all of the walls seem incongruous for impressionable children. The owner needs to reassess if this place is even appropriate for a kids' class, plus find and compensate a couple of actual instructors who know how to start the classes on time and organize the classes. Husband complained to the owner, who just replied, "ok". We withdrew our child and will take him to another Ocala dojo.

Great spot to do powerlifting classes, CrossFit, jiu-jitsu and more! Great trainers, fun friendly people to workout with. It’s definitely worth having trainers to help motivate me rather than just working out at home or a regular gym.Great equipment here too.

I have been a gym goer and worked at gyms in north jersey for over 3 decades. I won't go near. I often walk by on my outdoor workout. The large, obese, loud, obnoxious clientele is outside in back and near street. The often with their children run around the streets grunting and yelling. Maybe if they yelled less and focused on better eating and sensible workouts they would appear better. The clientele is an indicator of a gym Thumbs down, educate your loud obnoxious selves.

Stopped by Iron Legion hoping to find a jiu jitsu gym while visiting family in Florida and I am glad I did...The gym itself is loaded with quality equipment, motivational ambience/music and enthusiastic, friendly patrons & staff. There is an adjacent Cafe with delicious smoothies and bowls available as well for refueling and/or treating yourself during your session.All of that is wonderful but comes second to the actual jiu jitsu at this place. The instructor, Terrie, is profoundly knowledgeable and talented, and has a great teaching style and an obviously-deep passion for the art.If you're trying to improve yourself and are anywhere near Ocala, this is THE place for that. Check it out; you will not be disappointed.

I think many of the previous posts speak volumes about the level of fitness CF Iron Legion can take you to. I have been training here for almost two years and my fitness, nutrition, and mindset have all improved.However I’ll speak on the recent Jiu Jitsu program that was started. Being a beginner and only training sporadically over the years, training here for the last four months has been incredible. Coach Terrie is an awesome and knowledgeable instructor with years of training and real world experience. Coach Terrie also has experience in wrestling and various other forms of mixed martial arts. The environment is welcoming to all ages and levels of experience and everyone strives to make each other better.If you’re looking to learn jiu jitsu and also improve your fitness, I’d highly recommend CF Iron Legion.

Love love love this place! I started going 4 months ago. Knew nothing about CF!!!! And not once have I felt judged or awkward. On the contrary, the coaches are amazing! I learn something new each time. They teach and explain the movements so well. The owners are awesome too! I’m so so happy with my decision to start CF at this location! Yeaaaaa!!! Also, the owners have a café right next door (Brick & Iron Cafe) that makes THE BEST açaí bowls!! Check it out!
