AM I REQUIRED TO WORK WITH A COACH TO BECOME A MEMBER? . . .

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IRON ARENA AND OTHER LOCAL GYMS? . . .

We are exclusive in what we provide. You won't find traditonal cardio equipment such as treadmills and stairmasters. We take pride in providing the best powerlifting equipment that the industry has to offer (the exact equipment found on stage at local powerlifting meets all the way to the IPF World Championship). This includes very specific platforms, racks, barbells, and plates. In addition, we have dumbbells up to 130 lbs. along with several selectorized cable machines. A full list of the equipment we offer could be found HERE.

Not every member of Iron Arena competes in Powerlifting. Despite that, they all have one thing in common. Everyone is on a quest to become a better version of themselves. They are here to TRAIN. Training (not to be confused with merely “working out”) is the formulation of a plan intended to achieve a specific goal. Once committed training becomes an integral part of one’s life. Simply completing a workout is failure. Conquering a training session is victory. Regardless of ones age, gender, background, profession or social status, the training environment does not discriminate, nor does it play favorites. We are limited only by our level of commitment. Our atmosphere breeds success. At Iron Arena you won't find people staring at themselves in the mirror or reading the newspaper between sets. You will find a team oriented environment home to many individuals looking to help one another whether that means, spotting, cueing or providing encouragement when someone is going for a big lift.

There is a fine line between being a hard-core gym and simply being filthy. We take pride in the cleanliness and organization of our facility.

COULD MEMBERS BRING FRIENDS, FAMILY OR THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHER TO TRAIN? . . .

Yes. However, this would need to be scheduled in advance. Day passes are available for $25. Guests are also be required to sign a waiver along with our Rules and Regulations. .

DOES IRON ARENA SELL DRINKS, PROTEIN BARS AND OTHER CONCESSIONS? WHAT ABOUT POWERLIFTING GEAR SUCH AS WRAPS? . . .

While this may change in the future, Iron Arena does not sell drinks or snacks. There is a beverage and snack machine on the first floor of the warehouse that accepts cash and credit card. While there are a number of gear companies we support we do not stock powerlifting equipment but we would happily help direct you where to go to purchase what you need.
