I am 61 and I am in better physical condition than I was in my 40s. Thank you to Jordan and all the coaches at IFA.

"I joined Iron Forged Coaching three months ago and have been thoroughly impressed. As an older adult, I value the small class sizes and the personalized attention I receive during every session. The trainers are true professionals who prioritize safety; they understand my specific strengths and weaknesses, so I never have to worry about injury. The sense of camaraderie among members makes every workout enjoyable. If you're looking for quality strength training and real fitness results in a supportive environment, I highly recommend this gym."

Iron Forged Coaching is exactly what I was looking for in a gym. Before Iron Forged, I struggled to motivate myself and stay consistent with my workouts. I hated going to crowded gyms and when I did workout, I never knew what I should do and defaulted to the same exercises I was comfortable with. Iron Forged classes not only helped me stay consistent and motivated, they also took away the constant stress of figuring out what to do. The workouts are structured so they never get boring and also allow for progress to be measured. At Iron Forged, I was able to get stronger and I also grew more confident with a greater variety of exercises. They also helped me get my nutrition on track and helped me understand how to better fuel my body for the goals I had.You can’t beat the environment at Iron Forged, where you’re surrounded by a great group of people looking to work hard and improve each workout. The coaches are all knowledgeable and supportive. They care about progress, but they also care about everyone as a person. I’m so glad I joined the Iron Forged family. They helped me reach my fitness goals, create new goals, and helped me gain confidence both in and out of the gym. I highly recommend Iron Forged Coaching!

If you have goals to become a healthier and stronger person in the new year then take a look into the Ironforge gym and personal trainer Jordan Finlayson. Working with Jordan has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Before we started an exercise program, Jordan met with me to make sure that he understood my reasons for beginning a program and what my goals were. During a workout session he makes sure that I understand what we are doing and why and has been extremely supportive and flexable. He has not only helped me to become physicaly stronger but has also helped me develop better nutrition, gain more sleep and manage stress. My personal experience has led me to believe that Jordan and the Ironforge gym are one of the best kept secrets in Fayetteville. I am so grateful to have found him and I am now on my way to becoming the best version of myself.

Very thoughtful effort in each workout. Every subsequent workout raises the difficulty bar slightly so that a couple of months of training and you suddenly surprise yourself in what you have accomplished. Jordan and Andrew are the BEST!!

Iron Forged Coaching is wonderful! They’re professional but still like a family. The coaches and the program helped me hit my goals in less than two months! I was able to raise my physical fitness scores and significantly improve my strength and endurance. They also helped me build strength around old injuries so I can workout more consistently. I definitely recommend Iron Forged Coaching!

Iron Forged truly help me get to where I am at with my heath and fitness. The programming instilled consistency not only in my fitness but life in general. The nutrition plan was easy to follow and provided great results.

I used to think I hated working out, but now I get sad when I miss a class. When I started last year, i could barely get off the floor, bad circulation, depressed, sick, tired all the time and with Iron Forged Coaching's 1 on 1 and small fun and challenging classes, I have lost almost 70 lbs and am stronger at 48 than I've ever been and has completely changed my life. With the physical and mental strength from the help of Iron Forged, I gained the confidence to expand my fitness routine to Pilates, yoga and even did a Spartan race! Thank you Iron Forged. You the man.*edited to add* My 20 year old son also did a 120 day program with 1 on 1 and classes. The physical and mental transformation in just that short time was impressive. When he moved, i am pretty sure he was more upset leaving his Coach and Iron Forged behind than the rest of his actual family! lol

Amazing community and support from the coaches.

2024-04-11T15:49:20.094Z

The support and guidance you get from all of the coaches here is phenomenal. At 48 years old I am stronger and leaner than I ever have been. I owe it all to Iron Forged Coaching!

This is best gym and coaching program I've ever experienced. The coaching staff is phenomenal and very supportive. The goals I've achieved inside the gym have made me feel better in daily life and given me the energy to chase my toddler. I can actually play with her now and not feel like I'm dying. It's wonderful to have the support to create a healthy lifestyle I'm going to be able to maintain. I can't say enough good things about this place. If your on the fence, just check it out, you won't regret it!

Amazing coaches, amazing classes, and the friendliest group of folks to work out with!!!

2023-07-17T20:31:11.354Z

I really enjoy the coaching and personal attention to my fitness goals. The trainers definitely know how to push each individual to their limits. It’s not an overwhelming place like most gyms in the area and the classes and personal programming always offer something new to keep you engaged and wanting to come back. It keeps me accountable and I have really enjoyed the community I’ve built there.

LOVE MY IFA FAMILY! If I could give more stars I would. It is one of the BEST decisions I have made in my life. When they say, "Welcome to the IFA family," it is sincere. A small gym with BIG heart. Excellent supportive coaches to achieve personal goals. But it's not only the coaches. The people, your gym family, surround you with the same support. This family works together to get you through the next 10 burpees when you're struggling. Fun and laughs are just a bonus. I highly recommend. Please come and join, promise you won't be disappointed. Thank you all!

2023-05-27T20:29:15.817Z

Outstanding place, people and programming. Definitely wish I would have started years ago!

2023-04-24T18:08:51.475Z

IFA is great for getting folks not used to regular workouts/going to the gym, and making them actually want to go. Takes out a lot of guess work as the coaches are there in group workouts to make sure you’re doing the movements correctly and in a way that you’re building and avoiding injury. If you’re on the fence go to a community work out and you’ll see it’s super chill.

Phenomenal program ! Great team of athletes at all levels of fitness. Loved all of the coaches. It’s worth the time and investment.

2023-03-20T16:14:05.985Z

I love the Staff and people in the gym. They truly make you feel like family and only want what is best for you and the journey you are on. If you put in the work the staff will make you better.

2023-03-04T18:25:02.997Z

Iron Forged Athletics has taught me how to be consistent in my workouts and how to lead a healthy lifestyle. The training goes beyond the workouts; with weekly emails with nutrition tips and guides and coaches that are always available for advice and guidance. IFA is the best place to become the athlete you want to become. I have reached so many goals that I thought were impossible! I highly recommend IFA to anyone looking to start a new way of living or to reach new goals!

Joined 12 weeks ago and based on my physical condition and a previous injury chose the personal coaching program. I love this gym, the coaches are extremely knowledgeable and everyone…members and staff are very welcoming. I’m in a LOT better shape, improved flexibility and adherence to the program. 5 plus plus plus stars. If you’re serious about getting into condition THIS IS THE PLACE!!!!
