Great Gym! Has everything you need to get a good workout in and it's incredibly affordable…read more Joe, the owner, was awesome to work with! I was on a weird schedule since I was moving at the end of the month and Joe was awesome to let me try out the facilities for a couple days and then sign me up for a really flexible plan that gave me a good place to work out up until my moving day. It's pretty hard to find gyms that are that flexible with memberships, they all usually have cancellation fees or weird clauses to sign up etc.. But Iron Mine Gym was exactly what I was looking for in terms of a good neighborhood gym that has everything you need and doesn't charge you for anything you don't. Also, Bo, the dog is awesome and definitely adds a great element of atmosphere to the place whether he's doing his own cone attacking workouts (ha!) or just lounging around. Good equipment, friendly staff and patrons, easy parking, won't break the bank. Check it out!

So proud to be the first to review my trainer…read more My wife and I have been weight training with Mercedes for just over a year. I started after losing 45 pounds on a Keto diet and my wife 32 pounds. Since beginning my training I have lost another waist size and I have put on roughly 30 pounds of muscle. Its been a life-changing experience and we made a friend along the way. I am attaching the before and after photo for myself and a photo of my wife and me at the one year mark worth of weight training. Mercedes has been amazing. She motivates and drives us. She provides a meal plan and support. Outside of weight training, she runs bootcamps and other programs for groups. Strongly recommend!

I had a very frustrating experience here and want to share it so others are aware…read more It felt like there were people watching the parking lot closely. Someone from a nearby soccer business warned me that if I parked there, my car could be ticketed or booted and told me to move quickly. I immediately ran back, but in less than 30 seconds my car was already booted. The situation felt very aggressive and left little to no room for error. It gave the impression that enforcement is being handled in a way that catches people off guard rather than giving a fair opportunity to correct a mistake. I would strongly recommend being extremely careful when parking here or avoiding the area altogether unless you're completely sure about the rules.

It's a great little place fully equipped and staffed with really knowledgeable trainers. You can't help but love Lina and Pedro (the owners) 2 people truly dedicated to there members. What it lacks in size and flash, more than makes up for it with there welcoming, unintimadating atmosphere. (The owners have gone to great lengths to create such a non threatening environment) This is a phenominal neighborhood business for all to use from the new mom trying to get back into shape to the competitve bodybuilder preparing for an upcoming event. Give'em a look and see for yourselves.

When I come here, the staff and EVERYONE I meet along the way have become my friends and family. I understand there is so much else that the facility has to offer other than conversation and such, but when you're so comfy at a place like this you don't want to leave, and all of it is done right, and done well. My advice to ALL staff is... don't change a thing! You're all great!

I'm not very sociable when I'm putting my body to the test. So where there is character, there is also lack of professionalism when it comes to staff and the "regular" crowd when it comes to boundaries. In spaces like a gym I think it's important to keep in mind some people actually have responsibilities in life. While still being aware of the times I had none, I get it, but everyone's weight is different some people like to focus. So what I'd like to see improve is overall focus.

That was one of the best decisions I've made since moving to Logan Square because now I've been working out there for almost 3 months. Alex (owner/trainer) let me try my first bootcamp class for free and then I signed up for a 6 week challenge. There are also new monthly packages now and Alex runs different challenges all the time! Alex is a friendly, chill guy and he really takes the time to learn about your skill level and your fitness goals and then really starts to find ways to motivate you and push you to be better! He's incredibly encouraging and my favorite part is that he's on this journey with all of us too. Having lost a lot of weight himself, he understands where a lot of different people struggle in their fitness/weight loss goals and he's always happy to share tips and tricks for working out and healthy eating. I've met some pretty fantastic people working out here and they always make me happy to wake up at 5:30AM to work out! Everyone's at different fitness and skill levels but Alex works with every member to provide modifications to exercises or to challenge you further with certain exercises. Alex changes up classes everyday so there's lots of variety and he focuses on high intensity interval training. His classes are typically 60% cardio and 40% strength training. Go check out a class if you want to get fit!

I know I can expect a safe, comfortable, and clean environment to work out in. I'm excited to see Fit City grow and looking forward to some of the new equipment José is bringing in.
