    This gym is as predatory as it gets. Not only will any contract you sign with them be worthless when they decide to increase weekly payments without you being able to opt out, but even if they provide you with a date in writing where your membership will be confirmed as ended they’ll proceed to keep charging you afterwards regardless. Garbage behaviour from the gym’s ownership and management, and I wouldn’t be recommending this gym to anybody.

    Gym advertises it’s self as wheel-chair accessible but unwilling to make comprises for disabled customers. Came to this gym with a disabled client, prior to the shift I wasn’t told we would be going to the gym so I wasn’t dressed in the appropriate attire. Half way through my clients workout a staff member came over and asked us both to leave as I was wearing jeans. I tried to explain the situation and explained I was not working out but supporting my client to workout, I asked if he could finish his workout and I would ensure I was wearing gym attire next time. The manger told us the only way we could stay was if I payed full price for a pair leggings at the reception. Very disappointing as the client had been a long term customer with a previous support worker and have never had this issue at alternative gyms in the past.

    No aircon!!!!! Tried casual visit+ then joined as member. 3 days in , it was a hot day. The gym was like a furnace. Asked to cancel my membership due to, too much heat effecting my anxiety condition. They said because i didn't write it in my medical status, they couldn't do it. Asked i want to cancel due to 7 day cooling off period. They said they dont have that. & I should have used more casual visits. Charged me $250 to cancel for 3 days membership

    It’s a great gym, but their direct debit system is genuinely robbery as well as extremely terrible parking areas, the equipments themselves are half destroyed or have been completely worn off so much that you can’t even see their weights. if the payment is 1 day late, they will block your access completely and charge you $10 extra which is completely unfair, as the very first time they don’t tell you when the payment will be even taken out. No gym in Australia will charge $10 or even $1 extra for being one day late. And this applies to contracts and no contracts. They should at least tell you what day the payments get taken out.

    Forget it if you're from out of the country. Requires AUS drivers license. Refused to work with me to use the gym while I'm in the area despite having a no-contract option. Not only did I offer to pay monthly in advance I even offered to pay more then the monthly fees but they wanted me to pre-purchase 6 or 12 months. Can't take advantage of the walk in while staff is there because I would only be able to come at night. 🤡 Show. Seems to me like this gym suffers from a complete lack of self awareness based on the other comments. I took my business to Training Day and they were more than happy to accommodate me. They greeted me with professionalism and pride in their establishment.

    Great gym! The new layout is a huge improvement. Staff constantly asking for feedback and member input to improve the gym - very refreshing. Great environment to train in, 100% recommend.

    Been at this gym since it was Muscle Factory years ago... equipment wise and the gym itself is fine but it’s the money and memberships. They have always shortchanged me by a couple of months every time my yearly expires and the last time this happened the guy at reception said he would call me back. I’ve called twice since to double check and gotten no call backs or revising of my membership. That was the 4th May, can’t be bothered going to a gym that keeps shortchanging you every year.

    I’ve been a member for a few years now. Good value for money, plenty of access to equipment when you need it and special offers that make it one of the cheapest gyms around. *Additional remarks 11/23. This original review was provided after a prize incentive by the gym for a visitors card in exchange for a Google review. Paying annually required making a trip to their main gym in the northern suburbs because the system or staff couldn’t manage it from the Ringwood location. This was doable while the gym was good value for money; however after continued price rices despite an ongoing lack of promised attention to equipment and property maintenance, gym membership no longer became affordable or tenable. Hopefully that situation has since changed.

    This is a well equipped gym with impressive quality gear. Maddy is bright, helpful and so positive, a winning attitude to the membership and visitors. Casual visits are encouraged and with membership packs to suit annual, monthly or weekly, Iron Kingdom has it all.

  • 5/5 Patrick M. 1 year ago on Google
    Been coming for a few years now, thoroughly enjoy working out in the warehouse aesthetic that the gym provides. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the prices are fairly reasonable. I have been dealing with fluctuations in my weight especially since COVID so I had recently taken up Boxing with Louis - included as part of the membership. With his skills as well as his ability to inspire and adapt to me, he has assisted me in going from 126kg - 106kg, a 20kg loss in 14 weeks. That and my commitment to getting fit. The facilities also help with developing and working on my muscle groups, plus the variety of food and protein options.

    Excellent gym, great equipment, great staff. Fairly new to this gym still but I like it. If you want to train in an industrial style gym away from the mainstream franchise gyms, then this is the place for you.

    Everyone is super friendly and it has a very chill but motivating atmosphere. The ability to do casual visits is also a plus as it means I can get into a good rhythm first before committing to a membership!

    Been going here since it opened up as Muscle Factory in 2015. It's recently returned to its former glory as there have been a few rebrands since opening, resulting in change of management and dropping the ball. Membership fees kept going up and overall quality of the gym declining. In the past year there have been noticeable improvements in equipment maintenance and overall cleanliness. The staff are very friendly and the improvements in the gym is a reflection of their attitude and pride in their work. Equipment wise, there's numerous good quality ones that cater for multiple disciplines in a large enough space that it doesn't feel cramped.

  • 1/5 Hyeju H. 4 months ago on Google
    Cheat payment with small money. Had a membership here for few weeks and I did freeze my membership for a week before leave. My membership started on Sunday, so the period should be Sun-Sat. But they charge extra money cause their payment day is on Thurday. I talked them about it and got a refund, but you wouldnt get refund if you dont say anything or didnt realized. Cause my friend also had same situation and didnt get the money return.

    It has improved a whole lot since new management! It’s a more comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Just needs slight improvements like better lighting and a full length mirror in the bathrooms. Also just louder music for a more motivating atmosphere. Other than that, I have no complaints!

    Would be a decent gym if machines and equipment were maintained. Alot of loose cables, seats and moving machines!

  • 1/5 Mel S. 3 months ago on Google New
    They charge $20 for casual entry on public holidays but don’t have any working water fountains (have been broken for months) and don’t turn on most of the fans on a 26 degree day

  • 3/5 Cin 1 year ago on Google
    Positives - •Great Equipment Range •Friendly Staff •Majority of people put their weights and bar attachments away . •Patrons seem to be courteous and mind their business here and have decent gym etiquette . Negatives - •Bodgy Sanitising Stations a chux and spray bottle witch doesn’t work. Please get wipes - please encourage patrons to wipe down machines and also use a towel . •No fans after hours so in summer you’re basically left to die of heat and lack of ventilation. •Funky smells in certain parts of the gym

  • 5/5 Relentless V. 4 months ago on Google

    Great gym to train in, except hard to find a parking spot sometimes.

  • 4/5 Ishitha S. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been going to irons since 2018. The gym offers great quality and a range of different gym equipment. Allowing any gym goer to easily complete any form of excerise program they have created. The environment is very comfortable and the staff members are always lovley and attentive when customers have an enquiry or concern. They have especially done a great job during the pandemic in ensuring that all equipment is keept sanitised and wiped down. However, prices back in 2018/19 were much more competitive. Although there is a wide range of equipment available..some are found to become a bit rusty overtime due to many people using it. But as a whole this gym is great and convenient due to the many locations around Melbourne that they own.
