It was years since i stepped into a gym, in addition to recovering from knee surgery - i could…read morehardly get down to the floor and getting up was worse. After area research i contacted Joe at Iron House to talk through membership, costs, equipment and using their in-house trainers. I will simply say this gym is a throwback in every positive way to what a gym should be - nothing fancy but everything you need; it was exactly like all my favorite gyms rolled into one - enough wieghts, cardio, machines (including some not found in other gyms) and fitness accessories (bands, steps, mats, sticks, heavy balls, etc). Most important i never felt uncomfortable. or judged - especially given my limitations - every staff-person and member was focused on their workouts and staff duties, and all were respectful and always helpful. This gym "vibe" is best captured with me struggling to stand up while at the same time the morning group classes - intense, difficult, and demanding - were going on in the designated area and I never once felt "less" or judged - always smiles (not sure how they managed to smile!!) and hello. Enter Anna or better known as "Coach" to many in the gym who use her personal trainer services. Anna was the perfect blend of understanding (adjusted equipment and moves to my level), motivating, encouraging and yes tough as she needed to be - i went from day-one needing help laying down and then getting up, to 3 sets of 3 different exercises, to workingout on my own. At home I could once again climb stairs (from one stair at a time) and had more energy at work. Joe has built a community (both in and out of the gym) and regardless of whether a member took part in other activities, everyone is also welcomed. Lastly a shoutout to Bruce who faithfully opened the gym every morning, even while recovering from his own surgery...

They sponsored "IHF Moves 4 Autism", where members and local athletes participated in different events (run/bike/run duathlon, lift-off, fun run, thruster/run). All proceeds were donated to the Mayer Center at Middlesex Hospital and The Nest in Deep River. Both support or employ children and adults with autism. Then there was a motivational competition for all members. You just needed to show up for classes to participate - easy!! I love my gym community! I have made great friends while maintaining my physical health. If you're looking for a great gym, this is the place!

I've been a member at JE in Old Saybrook after getting recommendations from 2friends 3 yrs ago…read more I'm so glad I joined. I always disliked exercise and half-heartedly joined gym classes over the years only to get bored and drop out, or get injured (over-exuberant at Yoga!). At 64 I realized how much strength I had lost over the years and decided to take a chance at this gym where I had truly individualized instruction, modifications if something wasn't working for me and I saw progress which gave me confidence to continue. A bonus is the camaraderie of the members and instructors. It's more expensive than other gyms but those never worked for me. And getting older, preventing injury is much more important to me than spending a little more money. Plus I like it and I'm sticking with it, a first for me.

I have been a member of this club for over one year now and I enjoy the atmosphere, and the club…read moreowners Liz and Herb are very nice people. Most recently however, the club has been in decline. A promised new treadmill to replace one that is broken for over 2 months has not been replaced. Signs over the cleaning wipes say "take one only" ...the one wipe that is sticking out is usually dry with no disinfectant on it is...really one only! Since joining this gym I have brought my own disinfectant wipes because many times they are out. I like this gym and I enjoy my interaction with the owners, again very nice people. Please ask for help from members if you are having difficulties, I think that you will be surprised at the helpful response that you may receive. I (we) want this gym to succeed, but you need to reach out to members for suggestions on how to make this club better and be successful. A new club will be opening soon down the street and another club may be opening near by soon...it's time to be proactive and make Anytime Fitness stand out...helpful input is only a step away! Succeed or not...it's in your hands! Best Regards ... Mark

Awful... Wanted a gym that would give me 24 hr convenience so I signed up for a free week pass and…read moreto learn more. This would be great if the staff was actually ever there when they say they will be. Went by on day one only to find out they have different summer hours (which were not mentioned on their webpage), then went by again during said summer hours only to find out still no staff to enroll with or talk to. Doors only open for FOBs so no way of even going in to the front desk. Called twice and no answer. A nice gentleman let me in and on the staff door (which is INSIDE the gym) has a note from the incompetent staff member with a phone number to call incase of an emergency or urgent matter...lol guess their not in the business of getting new members... The 24hr convenient gym is actually the most inconvenient gym I've ever encountered. Thank goodness there are other and more professional options in Old Saybrook!
