This is by far the best gym experience I've ever had. The staff is so welcoming and the atmosphere is very comfortable. Not only have I improved physically, I've also improved mentally. Being active has helped my mental health tremendously. I cant say enough nice things about Iron Lion. You wont regret joining this gym and you'll be thankful every time you leave for making yourself one day better.

I came to Iron Lion after a year of difficult injuries. I had always been athletic but my confidence and strength had been negatively impacted. The trainers at Iron Lion are helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and dedicated. They met me where I was at to build out an individualized program and now I’m feeling the best I have in a long time! Iron Lion has set me up for health and I’m so grateful. Such a welcoming, upbeat community!

I joined Iron Lion in October 2021 to improve muscle tone and gain strength. Since I have been there, I have worked with all the trainers and all are superb. They fully assess your level of mobility and custom a monthly program that you follow under their guidance and supervision. The staff is knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed and can work out at your own pace. I recently injured my back (unrelated bad move), I could bare walk without pain. In the past, treatment for this would have taken an MD office visit and several PT appointments. I crawled into the gym and with a few breathing and stretching exercises, Andrew instructed me to do, I walked out good as new. AMAZING! Thank you, Chris, Rick, Hayley, Andrew, Elijah, Kostas and Troy for a job well done.

Seeing is believing! Up until 7 weeks ago, when I first joined Iron Lion, I had never before done a deadlift or a kettle bell swing. The trainers have been amazing, giving me the personalized training and guidance to achieve my goals, and even after just the first few weeks, I could already feel a marked difference. I have more energy, my lower back pains have gone away, and I've started to gain muscle and shed fat. It's boosted my confidence, and I feel great. I've never been one to look forward to working out, but I genuinely enjoy going to the gym now, both from the nice, positive people there (trainers and other gym-goers alike) and from the way I feel afterwards. A HUGE thank you to all the trainers, especially Chris, Troy, Elijah, Ricky, and Haley!!! I can't speak highly enough of Iron Lion.

Having lost and gained weight so many times over the last few years, I decided to make a change and join Iron Lion. Since starting my training I’ve lost 30 pounds and have been able to keep it off! Not only have I lost weight but I’ve also become much stronger, improved my balance, and made progress with an injury. All of the trainers are knowledgeable, patient, attentive, and genuinely care about members’ progress. Along with excellent trainers, ILP also has a tight knit community of members who are very fun to train alongside. I highly recommend training here!

This gym changed the way I look at fitness and the results are amazing. It starts with the trainers. Everyone at ILP is a pro. They work with you to create attainable goals and design personalized programs to help you get there efficiently and without injury. I saw them work with everyone from expert lifters to beginners at the most modest level, and across the board they were patient and encouraging while still holding everyone accountable. The atmosphere at this gym is special. It's full of positivity, and their outlook is spot-on. It's not about intensity; it's about consistency. It's not about how much you can lift; it's about lifting the right way. As long as you're giving your all, that's what counts. I can't recommend this gym enough. If you feel stuck or you want to improve your overall fitness, this is the place. They will give you everything you need to lose the weight or get that next PR. All you have to do is put in the work - and they make it pretty fun.

Came in here about a year ago before COVID after A post op for a labrum tear. Chris got with me and was able to get my shoulder back to 100%, and then some. Just rejoined post COVID and I’m glad to see they’re up and running. The workouts and training programs are detailed to your body and specific goals. The pre evaluation is a highlight to mention. They check your range of motion, flexibility and overall condition of your body and posture. The facility itself has everything you need. It’s a no nonsense weight training facility. With great trainers to pair along. All the trainers speak the same language in regards to their approach. They’re thorough, reliable, and most importantly, safe. Everyone is super friendly, there’s no ego, and definitely a place to grow as an individual.

Iron Lion Performance is Astoria’s hidden gem. I was recommended to Iron Lion by a colleague and I couldn’t be happier. The staff is not only professional, but extremely knowledgeable about fitness and human anatomy. The beauty of Iron Lion is that this gym is not a commercial gym. Everything is personalized, you are greeted by name when you walk through the door. In this gym, you are not a client but part of a family. I would choose Iron Lion over any other gym time and time again.

The Iron Lion team is truly the best. Great trainers who know their stuff. Really thoughtful about their programs and they get results. As someone who’s never been the strength training “cross fitter” type, it was intimidating for the first few seconds when I walked in, but then I met Ricky, Troy and the rest of the crew and everyone is so supportive, patient, and encouraging. They’ve built a great community with people of all ages, training goals, and experience levels.

I had an amazing experience at Iron Lion Performance! From the moment I walked in, their team made me feel right at home. The semi-private sessions they offer are truly a game-changer. Not only did I get expert guidance on addressing my back issue while improving month over month, but I also found myself establishing a consistent workout routine for a couple of years now. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and tailored each of my monthly program to my specific needs, ensuring I made progress while staying safe. I'm amazed by the results I've achieved and couldn't be happier with my decision to join this community. As someone with a consistent back problem combined with a busy work schedule, I was initially hesitant about diving into establishing a consistent workout habit. However, the trainers' expertise and personalized approach allowed for focused attention on form and structure, and I never felt overwhelmed. Over time, my back issues started to improve, and I witnessed a huge boost in my overall fitness levels. The positive and motivating atmosphere of the gym kept me engaged, and I'm genuinely grateful for the transformation I've undergone with their support. All in all, I can't recommend Iron Lion Performance enough for anyone looking to make a huge positive change in their fitness journey, especially if dealing with specific past injuries.

After taking a couple years off from working out, I recently joined Iron Lion - I can safely say this has been the best exercise program I've been a part of. I've had the pleasure of connecting with most trainers and they all truly cater to the needs of each and every person. The individualized programing makes it easy for any skill level to jump right in! The space is clean and has great equipment. In just over a month I'm already seeing and feeling results that I thought would take longer to achieve. Highly recommended!

I love Iron Lion!! As someone who has worked with private trainers and been in many gym environments, I can confidently say that Iron Lion’s approach is special. The coaches tailor each program to the individual’s goals and needs, and they make you feel comfortable - it is the opposite of the classic feeling of intimidation or judgment in a gym. They really make the gym feel like a community. I also can do multiple push ups from the floor now which is a nice perk 😉

I started at Iron Lion about 8 months ago and the experience has been amazing. I am much more flexible and a lot stronger. But the best part of the experience has been the coaches and the overall vibe of the gym. Just great people that are friendly and go above and beyond to help you reach your goals. I highly recommend Iron Lion , it has helped me stay active on a consistent basis (I have NEVER been a gym person) and I actually look forward to working out now.

I’ve always hated gyms. I join, go once or twice, mindlessly do the treadmill, and never go back. I know this doesn’t make me any different from a lot of people, but I’ve had an amazing stroke of luck: I stumbled onto Iron Lion. Now I LOVE going to the gym. The trainers work with you to design a program that evolves with you. Best of all, for a dummy like me, they TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO IT. This cannot be overstated. I can ask amazing trainers — among them Troy, Chris, Hayley, Elijah and Ricky — to go over an exercise with me 100 times and they never lose patience. This is the gym experience I’ve been looking for my whole life of being overweight and out of shape. I’m never going to be a professional bodybuilder but after a few months here I feel better than I have in years, maybe ever. I can’t say enough for how much I enjoy going here, chatting with the trainers, just the whole experience. I never thought I’d write a five-star review for a gym. I’d give Iron Lion more than that if I could.

Iron Lion is an excellent gym with amazing coaches! The whole team is knowledgeable and really cares about your fitness journey. I've felt more purpose and desire to workout after joining Iron Lion. The atmosphere is encouraging and people really want you to succeed. I can't recommend this place enough!

Iron Lion is an excellent gym experience — Ricky and the team go above and beyond to work with you to accommodate your schedule and your workout goals. I came in with an existing back injury and Andrew tailored my program to movements I could do and now 6 months in I’m pain free and am able to do all the things I used to have to turn down. If you’re looking for a custom gym experience with knowledgeable staff this is the place for you!
