This review is long overdue. I went to this gym about 3 years ago and I went for almost a year. You may wonder why I am making a review now if I haven't been in so long, well the reason is because although I have moved on from this gym because I moved out of the area, I have taken the lessons bob taught me, with me. He is truly knowledgeable in proper form and the training I acquired from him have transcended across time and gyms I have gone to since then. I started to go to a new gym in the area I live in now and although the trainers there are great they do not compare to the proper training I received from Bob. Even when working out at other gyms not affiliated with bob I am always complimented on my form and technique. Anyways if you're looking for a gym that is really going to slow things down, to learn the basics and push you to be the strongest you can be I recommend ITG. read more

I have been a part of ITG for 3 years now! Before ITG, I was afraid to step foot in a gym, but Bob & Blanca really take the time to teach correct form, & push you to reach your goals. This place really made me love working out & has allowed me to reach/ push for my goals! Endless thank you to the coaches for the dedication they have for their craft, the ITG classes, & for helping me be better in the gym! PS- se habla español asi que sin miedo al exito!!

I have been going to ITG for 2 years now and I love it! I can literally consider my coaches as family and the friendships I've made from just going to class are unbreakable. I've met so many amazing people and mothers trying to get there bodies back.

Plenty of txt messages as to why I was missing class. They really do treat you like family! They know what they are doing and jotting falls through the cracks.

I have been a member for ITG since last December going on for my 1 year! Absolutely the best gym I have been too by far. The coaches are AMAZING!!! I definitely recommend anyone who has been wanting to start the weight-loss/strengthening program. I was very skeptical when starting as it looks intimating but with the all the great people that workout there it makes it more comfortable and you definitely feel more confident especially because the coaches Bob and Blanca keep a very close eye on everything to make sure we are properly training and correcting our forms as we continue to improve. You will most DEFINITELY see results as I have with my own body. Come check out Iron Therapy Gym for a trial if interest! #BodiesByBobSoula read more

I just started my classes last week but so far I have had a great first impression. I joined Iron Therapy seeking some kind of solution to my struggle with maintaining a healthy weight, small appetite. When I got there I quickly realized it was the perfect place to get a bbl without the surgery lol With just the 3 days at iron therapy my appetite has kicked in and I love all the advice and help given by coach Blanca and coach Bob. It's Good vibes & the other members have all been super welcoming and very helpful. Everyone is really supportive and looks out for each other. Of course I also get an amazing workout in as well!!! read more

I've been part of ITG for a little over a year now. It has been hands down the best decision I could've made. I've lost about 50lbs so far with their style of training and I've learned to love fitness. I started with 1:1 personal training with coach Blanca, she is absolutely amazing!!! I eventually transitioned to online and I at times pop into the classes. While the classes can seem intimidating, they are so much fun! If you are thinking about it, do it! Coach Bob is also amazing, he truly cares and takes his time to correct your form even with 10+ other people in the gym. When I've gotten injured, he's helped me modify the workouts as well. My overall experience has been amazing, it's worth every penny. If you're looking to loose weight, tone up, be part of a true gym family, and have coaches who care about you... SIGN UP!! P.S they also speak Spanish and play Vicente Fernandez during class so it's a major plus read more

Iron Therapy Gym - 2 YR JOURNEY - Boot Camps Near Me - Concord, California

I'm eternally grateful that I found Iron Therapy as my weekly gym. This is where I learned how to bench press, deadlift and squat properly. Starting with only being able to lift the bar alone, to now adding heavier weights and becoming stronger overtime. Bob and Blanca are amazing coaches that really know their craft. Thanks guys!!! read more

Joined the program about six months ago and I'm so happy I did. Not only am I looking better I'm feeling better. Bob helped me not just get where want to be physically but is continuously helping me to make this a lifestyle. The meal plans are great and it's a lot of food not a starvation diet like most places offer , and he tailors them to you personally! The work outs are super fun, they are usually a group work out where you have the support from your piers and can motivate each other. He makes it fun and sometimes even competitive, but fun competition. My favorite is tug o war! And when ever I have questions about food, ways to stretch or anything he always is there to help and is actually pretty good at responding despite the amount of clients he has. Bob is truly dedicated to his work with us and has gotten to know all his clients on a personal level from what I can tell, he really cares and is passionate about what he does and us. I would recommend working with bob if your serious about getting fit and not just losing weight and want to live a healthier Lifestyle ! read more

Iron Therapy Gym - Boot Camps Near Me - Concord, California

Iron Therapy Gym is my HOME! I love this gym! Love the The Trainer and his Wife It's definitely a gym where you will be held accountable so unless you're looking into lifting heavy and really committing in order to get results, don't join until you're ready. This place is great. Great energy and environment overall. Has it's ups and downs like any other place out there but it's worth it. I went here 3 years ago for about 6 months and left. Biggest regret ever, came back 9 months ago and I've been going strong! I can't wait to see what 2 years does for me! Thank you Bob and Blanca read more

Iron Therapy Gym - 9 months progress. - Boot Camps Near Me - Concord, California

I spent 6 months coming to this gym and even though it wasn't that long, I have to say that it's hands down the best gym I've ever been a part of. Coach Bob and Coach Blanca really watch for proper grip, proper form and really push you to do better. They are both passionate about what they do and you can tell they really do love this gym and appreciate every one of us. read more

Met Coach Bob and coach Blanca back in 2020 and I've learned so much about lifting with proper form and technique. They are truly knowledgeable in all areas of health and fitness. We decided to sign up my younger brother for personal one-on-one training with coach Blanca and he's made a DRASTIC TRANSFORMATION!! read more

I've been coming here for about a year now & all I can say is if you stick with it you will see results after results! Bob is SUPER knowledgeable in weightlifting & nutrition, he is a SUPREME motivator & he knows how to make the classes FUN! I love coming to his classes because of the encouraging atmosphere; no matter what level you're at, you will be cheered on for each accomplishment you make! If you haven't checked out this gym, you're missing out! read more

This is the second time I've tried these "boot camp" fitness classes and what separates Iron Therapy from all the others is Bob! I have always had a nagging foot issue whenever I would attempt to get into shape which would lead to me giving up and quitting. My previous instructor never took the time to consider what I needed when it came to this and I never felt like he cared about my overall health. This is where Bob comes in. I decided to give Iron Therapy a chance was because a friend referred me and seeing all of the amazing "Before and After" pictures on Instagram was motivating. Bob has taken the time to listen to my issues and personally work with me one on one to avoid me giving up. He pushes me to keep going, but never pushes me too hard to a point where I get hurt. Bob keeps me motivated and accountable with text messages and I can't say enough how helpful he has been to my confidence with exercising especially when it come to lifting weights. I'm the person that always avoided any kind of free weights in the gym because I felt stupid and didn't know what I was doing. I have learned so much from Bob in this regard and no longer feel intimidated by the weights. I have recommended Iron Therapy to a few of my friends and have even brought one to his cardio night classes he offered. Bob is amazing! read more

Super power gym,with powerful team

I decided to join ITG about 7 months ago and it was honestly the best decision I made! I decided to try out a class when the coaches were offering a day pass and I'm not going to lie it was an intense workout and the first few months I struggled but both Coach Bob and Coach Blanca were super helpful from the beginning, helping me with my form and motivating me to keep going. ITG is honestly the best gym I have ever gone to, the coaches are Amazing! But another great thing about ITG is the community it offers, everyone who works out there is so supportive and pushes you to do the best and be the best version of yourself. If you are willing to give it your all and put the work in you will 100% see the results, as I have seen with my own body and confidence. I highly recommend anyone who has been wanting to start the weight-loss/strengthening program to come to ITG! You won't be able to find another gym as great as this one! Para mi gente que quiere encontrar un gimnasio, se habla español tambien! read more

I really want to give him 0 stars, Coach Bob is an antiprofessional, unaccountable and lazy. On several occasions he leaves all the girls waiting for him to arrive and open the gym to give us the class and he never arrives, when several of the girls drive up to 30 minutes to arrive with him and he does not even have an apology and not an excuse, simply He doesn't care about his clients (but lest we warn us that we can't go, why does he charge us an extra $ 5 for not canceling) and if he doesn't go and leaves us waiting for him, nothing happens !! 0% recommended !! read more

I have been training with Bob for the past 7 months and I have been blown away by the physical and emotional gains I have made. My body has completely taken on a new shape, and my confidence is shaping along with my curves! The workouts are never the same and they are challenging, while being extremely fun at the same time! He will make sure you know what you are doing in a gym, your form will be on point. He has great advice for nutrition and genuinely wants to see everyone succeed. He takes great pride in what he does and his motivation is contagious. Very positive environment. There are more than a handful of people who have been training with him for years and I can see why! If you are ready to put in the work, you will be blown away with the support you will receive along your journey. Thank you Bob! read more

I'm not trying to sound like a commercial and this isn't one of those things where I have to post about the company as part of my contract. I'm posting simply because I want to. I was way overweight and in the worst shape of my life. I was tired all the time and put little thought into the food I was putting in my body. On this journey to improve myself, I've been blessed with people who have helped me reach my goals. I need to give a major shout out to Bob Soula for your knowledge and expertise in body mechanics and teaching me the importance of lifting weights and eating right. Bob doesn't just run a gym...he really cares and wants me to succeed and has provided me with personal training, a meal plan and accountability. The name couldn't be any more fitting. It's part of my routine, my self care, and my therapy. It's a different type of gym with REAL training, REAL accountability and REAL change. Thank you Bob and Blanca for being you and caring so much. read more

This is an updated review to my review when I first started in October 2018: THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST DECISION IVE MADE IN ALL OF 2018! I'm feeling sexy again, stronger, slimmer, most importantly healthier and better than I've ever felt in the past 3 years. Thank you Bob the trainer/ owner for making my goals reachable and fun! I look forward to coming to my classes and I've upgraded my membership to a YEARLY contract. That's how much I love this gym. They got me for life! I will post before and after pics soon ! read more

For the past couple of weeks I have been training with Bob Soula. He is literally the best person to go To! Bob has been super motivational and has helped me feel confident and healthy again. He gives awesome meal plans and is really passionate about what he does. He's very supportive and goes above and beyond to make sure you're supported to reach your goal. I have tried many other places and no-one takes care of you're fitness goals like he does . I guarantee you'll see results. read more

Bob is da man! Not only is Bob knowledgeable and motivating, his prices are very reasonable. Thinking of going to a personal trainer could be intimidating, but Bob makes it fun and light while holding you accountable and kicking your butt at the same time. I've been doing boot camp and personal training for 5 weeks now and have noticed SO much change already! What I love about this program is that you lose weight the RIGHT way. You don't have to eat like a bird to lose weight or be healthy AND you don't have to spend hours on the boring treadmill to shed inches. Bob has answered every question I've ever asked with a very educated response; he definitely knows his stuff. If you want to lose the weight &keep it off on top of looking good &FEELING good join the bootcamp! I joined all by myself and have met some amazing women who all push you and make it fun! read more

Bob has been a great personal trainer from the start. As soon as I contacted him to join his personal training and bootcamp, he took the time to meet me and figure out how he could help me reach my goals. In fact he made me realize how much more potential I had. He is able to work with individuals (not anymore) and groups while making sure we all are getting the right training. He has homework for us that has kept me on track. The workouts are intense but it is what I need (if it was easy everyone would do it). I love how I feel after every workout which keeps me motivated every single day. One of my concerns going on was how to properly lift weights and keep good form. Bob Soula has thought, assisted, but most importantly, reminded me that practice makes perfect. I cannot wait to continue my fitness journey with they help of Bob! Finished my commitment with Bob in the beginning of July but paid off whole month since I had made a lot of progress. I was anxious towards meeting my goals for the wedding so I stopped with I T but it helped a lot I learned a lot but had to change it up. read more

I give him no stars. This man says his the best in the east bay I think not. I left his bootcamp after he fat shame me saying that if I was so heavy I could do better. When I told him to stop he said it was reality. His rude and disrespectful. Don't waste your time read more

Bob is an amazing trainer. He is very motivating and encouraging. If I ever felt weak (w food choices) he is always there to give me better choices. The Bootcamps are so good, very challenging but once you do it you feel amazing. I am so glad i joined xftb wouldn't trade it for anything else. It's a great program to reach your goals not only will you have an amazing trainer but amazing support system everyone there is so positive, motivating and encouraging. read more

Bob is the best trainer out, hands down! He is great at what he does. He pushes your body in a positive but strong approach. He has tons of knowledge in training and diet. He taught me how to really work out and actually takes the time to explain and show you the right way. Also, such a easy going person and makes working out fun! BOB IS THE BOMB!! read more

I should have done this a week ago. My gym did not open last Saturday due to missing keys. I go to a Zumba class at a nearby facility. I arrived WAY early and did not just want to sit in my car. I went to Iron Therapy and asked Bob, the owner, how much he would charge me to use his stairmaster and free weights. After I explained my situation, he told me "no charge, go ahead". As I was climbing, I watched the ladies there going through their workout. It looked pretty amazing and everyone was having a great time while working really hard. Should I ever want to change gyms, this is where I will go. Great guy and I looks like an rewarding training method. read more

Bob Soula has been my personal trainer at Snap Fitness in Walnut Creek for about 8 months. When I first started with him I couldn't even do a sit up or push up. He has worked patiently but effectively with my limitations as a 40 yr old female who has had 7 different abdominal surgeries over the years. Working with Bob has changed my outlook on how I view my eating habits as well as not being afraid of using weights at the gym. I appreciate all the motivation he gives me and recommend anyone just trying him out because there's no way I would've been able to do this on my own. Thanks Bob for making me feel strong & in control of my body again! read more

Okay, so this guy is no joke! If you are looking for that extra push and motivation his boot camp is the place to be. He is super cool, fun but will push you to get the work out in. I struggled with some of the workouts (I am a first timer) but he made sure I was not left behind and proofed to me I was able to complete it (yay me!). The rest of the group are super supportive and helpful! Awesome environment read more

I started working with Bob around 9 months ago. I have chronic spine/back and other health issues and simply wanted to try to get stronger. Bob keeps me motivated and customizes my program as needed depending on how I'm feeling. I am stronger, feel better, and experience less pain. Even on the pain days, we get work done. And while my goal was not to lose weight (I haven't), I've lost noticeable inches and gained muscle. I'm hoping to try boot camps soon, when it's warmer. Thanks, Bob! read more

Been doing the program for a month now and been getting great results. Bob (trainer) is always available if you have any questions to help with weight loss goals. I highly recommend this program if you want something different that will get you results and wont bore you in the process through out your journey. read more

I have been training with Bob for close to five months now and have seen incredible results. Not only am I loosing weight, I am also gaining muscle and eating healthier than ever before. Two years ago, I sustained a severe spinal injury which left me with disc herniations in my lower spine and neck. This injury left me partially disabled, unable to walk for several months, chronic sciatic pain and with osteoarthritis but after many months of medical care and physical therapy I was able to gain most of my mobility back but lacked strength in my back muscles. That is where Bob comes in! I initially was very worried about lifting weight lifting and working out with such intensity for fear of relapsing but Bob has helped me every step of the way. He has showed me how to lift properly, adjust exercises to meet my level and worked individually with me to ensure I didn't make my injury worse. Not only has he helped me reach my physical goals but he has also helped me gain the confidence I lost in myself for so long. His attention to his clients is remarkable and he truly commits himself to make each workout unique and fun. He brings a lot of energy and is constantly being innovative so no two workouts are ever the same! If you are looking for a trainer that goes above and beyond and has 10+ years of experience Bob is your guy! His boot camp style classes create a community feel so you never feel alone when learning a new exercise. Highly recommended! read more
