Tied for the best gym in Hampton roads. There is 3 (soon to be 4) IA locations. And each has their own vibe. Kempsville has a great atmosphere, a good balance of all around equipment. Tires, stones, a yoke, sleds, and logs of you want to go “strongman” but primarily set up as a body building gym. They have enough cardio eq to go around except at peaks house. The staff is always friendly. Towers and sanitizer are always plentiful. If you’re a gym newbie, you will grow here. If you’re experienced, you’ll find your people here.

Military members beware!I have called numerous times and sent emails to cancel membership due to change of duty station. It’s now a year later and they are still charging me so enjoy your workouts but make sure to be aware.

This is a great gym for serious lifters. Not for everyone. I do PT there. I would join.

I LOVE THIS GYM,,, they keep it EXTREMELY CLEAN and well trained staff are supportive and friendly. Being open 24/7 makes it even more appealing. They have been consistent in improving the gym overall as well. My only complaint is that there are to many people on their phones and on the machines, benches updating their IG or Facebook profiles please address this concern,thank you going forward.

It took a while for me to get comfortable working out here but now its all love. There are plenty of machines to use as well as free weights.

Great facility, great staff, energy here is amazing. Wish we’d get rid of the Walmart and make the gym bigger.

I’ve been a member for years now (time includes the other location) and have never had any complaints about Iron Asylum. The Kempsville gym is very clean, the staff are always friendly and helpful, the equipment available is also diverse, and having the place open 24/7 accommodates my night owl schedule very well. I couldn’t recommend a better place to go.

I am a 16yo inline speed skater. I come here with my teammate, and even though we play an abnormal sport, there are plenty of things to challenge us. Along with a good environment and friendly people.

Truly can’t recommend this gym enough! My time in Virginia was short lived but this place was what kept me together. Immaculately clean, friendly staff, equipment is top of the line, inspiring people, and judgement free zone. I am in absolute awe of this place, it’s set a new standard for what gyms should be. Thank you IAK!

I love the facility. A good amount of racks, platforms, benches and machines as well as a great aesthetic layout.but it’s come to my attention that with many of my peers as well as myself being in competition prep for the next few months, many of us are forced to train at the other locations that are a bit out of the way. Even when visiting Castleton and Norfolk, there ends up being a wait to use competition powerlifting equipment.Really hoping to see additional competition racks and kilogram plates to aid lifters whom are training to competition standard. Many other powerlifting gyms in Virginia offer this equipment but don’t offer the same level of depth and facility as Iron Asylum.I really believe it would put Iron Asylum definitely at the top as the best gym in Virginia.

This gym is the best in the area. It is really clean, and they have individual spray bottles and rags when you walk in for you to keep with you during your workout at the Kempsville location. Staff is nice, almost everyone who works out there is built (which can be super motivating), they have big fans for ventilation, the equipment is great for serious weightlifters, and it has great aesthetics inside. Thank you, Iron Asylum!

I can’t recommend this gym enough, I’ve been a member for over half a year now and I feel at home at iron asylum.I have grown so much because of the environment, members and staff at iron asylum, but I started out on the smaller side unlike other gyms that I won’t mention this gym is actually a “ judgement free zone. “Everyone from members to staff are super encouraging and always helpful.Go get a day pass and try it out, I bet you’ll sign up for a membership before you leave.
