I am so excited for Iron Chapel Barbell to open! Ashley is an amazing personal trainer!! I’ve never experienced someone who is so dedicated to your success. She designs a personalized workout to you and wow will she push you, and she’s fun!! The gym is full of great equipment!

Anthony and Ashely are passionate trainers, that create client specific training. I have personally trained with Anthony for 2 years, and it has been the best choice I have made for my health and wellbeing! Their brand new gym is equipped to fit the needs of all types of fitness seekers! You won’t regret your joining in on the fun!

A newly-opened fitness facility in Ankeny is a hidden gem. The owners, married couple Anthony and Ashley, are educated fitness and personal training professionals. Their knowledge encompasses all phases of life including young high schooler’s fitness needs, all-around body builders, 70 year olds with double joint replacements to anyone else who wants to maintain or needs to lose weight and eliminate the aches and pains that come w/ age. They uniquely apply their vast knowledge and tailor workouts to each individual’s needs. They are impressive. Their new space is complete with the latest new equipment and is an inviting, friendly place to spend your time improving your body and mind. I can’t say enough about Anthony and Ashley (she holds several WORLD weight lifting records!) - compassionate and intelligent - They are committed to helping you reach your goals with encouragement and a plan you can realistically reach. We drive from West Des Moines to work w/ these two and it’s one of the best investments we’ve made.

The first three stars are for the facility. Clean, well-laid-out gym that’s high on functionality and low on BS. The last two stars are for the people. Owned by some of the most thoughtful, dedicated, and passionate fitness/strength professionals in the metro. Anthony and Ashley make this place. They take time to understand where their clients are at in their journey and then tailor the plan to fit the person. Their no-nonsense, blue collar approach to health and well-being is refreshing and worth experiencing for yourself!

Awesome facility and awesome owners. Anthony and Ashley are the best in their profession. I highly recommend Iron Chapel Barbell if you are looking for a gym.

Ashley and Anthony coached me at one of my first powerlifting meets and they were awesome. Their knowledge, support and energy helped me get the most out of my experience and while having a lot of fun.

Absolute best coaching! Whatever your needs are for training, they can take you to the next level. Top notch equipment in a great environment.

Ashley and Anthony have built this gym from scratch and you can tell it is their passion. Owners on site all the time if you ever need help or questions with anything!
