Testimonials
We want to hear you roar!
“This gym really stands apart from every other gym I’ve joined in the past, all thanks to the crew who run it. Classes and training sessions are fun, challenging and personal, and I’ve never feel intimidated. It’s a great space for all body types, ages, and fitness levels, for queers, for lifters, for new parents who want to work out with their babies, and for people who simply want to feel stronger in their body. Would 100% recommend if you, like me, don’t think you vibe with gyms. This place is great.”

“Iron Lion is one of my favourite places to go to work out. I have been at this gym for close to 2 years and I have never stayed at any gym for that long. Not only are the coaches amazing to work with I also made many lasting friendships. The classes are always a great work out and I feel energized at the end. I recommend this place to everyone :)”
Janine and Nia
“Iron Lion is unlike any other gym I’ve tried. The owners Steph and Ron have cultivated an environment that feels great to be a part of; there’s a great sense of community. Gyms I’ve tried in the past felt alienating, especially being a young woman. Iron Lion made me feel extremely confident and comfortable in myself and my body. Highly recommended!”
