Was visiting family in the area and went to this gym as a IHRSA affiliate (discount from my home…read moregym). The gym was small, and hot. The cardio equipment is old and noisy. The locker room was clean but there was a mousetrap visible under the counter. All this would have been ok but the staff was quite rude to us as visitors. We were asked for multiple forms of proof for the small discount that they offer. We were not offered lockers or any help navigating the gym. We definitely will not be back!

Most importantly, this gym is family owned and operated for almost 20 years.

The heater motor burned out on Tuesday and NO repairs have been made and there is no information available regarding status. It is COLD in the gym. And with next week's forecast showing highs in the 20s, this is not sustainable. An indoor business like this should have HVAC issues resolved same day or, worse case, next day. We're on Day 4 and no workers anywhere. I plan to ask for a refund for any days where it is too cold to use the gym.

Every seen Dodgeball? If not, there are two gyms: Average Joe's, and Globo Gym. As the names…read moresuggest, Average Joe's is a bunch of "locals" working out at a modest gym owned by a "local", and GloboGym is the national chain that attracts models, celebrities, and world-class athletes with its state-of-the-art equipment, spa services, and chic design. IAC is most definitely the Average Joe's of the Kent Island area. (Note: Club1 is the GloboGym equivalent.) The owner of IAC is a jovial ex-wrestler who will make you laugh with his gruff humor and make you cry with his years of experience with personal training (read: torture). The equipment is good, if not a little dated and worn, and kept clean. On staff are friendly, down-to-earth trainers who will help you get in shape and feel like a hero for doing so. And for you busy parents, there is a small daycare service to entertain the kids while you train. The rates are very fair, and plans range from long-term (6 months) to month-to-month. If you work in the Narrows (area in which IAC is situated) you get a discount. The gym shares full shower and locker room facilities with the neighboring pool. All facilities are always kept clean as a whistle. The IAC is a great way to support a local business and get in shape with your friends and neighbors. As someone who grew up in the area, it was refreshing to run into my teachers, friends, and other neighborhood types there. Contrast that with Club1, where I always caught myself thinking (during my one week trial), "Where do all these beautiful jerks come from?" Indeed, most at Club1 would likely say (to quote White Goodman from Dodgeball): "Here at (Club1) we're better than you, and we know it.." The Island Athletic Club may made of a bunch of average Joe's, but they're my average Joe's, and I'll work out there before anywhere else.

Wether you're a boxer, powerlifter, weightlifter, or a bodybuilder this gym has it. It has a down to earth feel and even if you are a beginner, you'll feel respected and helped if you need it. No matter your fitness level, I would recommend DOVER Gym. If you're one to become motivated and leveled up from an atmosphere, this gym is for you.
