Amazing community and support from the coaches.
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. ... More

Amazing coaches, amazing classes, and the friendliest group of folks to work out with!!!
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.
Outstanding place, people and programming. Definitely wish I would have started years ago!
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.
I went from close to zero workouts a week, to a minimum of 3 every week. I haven’t missed a week, and I feel like I’m developing a lot of good habits, that I want to keep. I’ve also worked on what/how I eat with my coach. I’ve still got a ways to go, but I feel optimistic. I’ll be finished with my 12 weeks in a week, and I’m going to stick around for more training and classes. The coaches are gr... More

They work with people who are at all different fitness/health levels. They are nonjudgemental. I’m grateful for the work I’ve done with them. If you want to start building healthy, lifelong habits, I recommend these folks!! Less
Today is my one year anniversary at IFA and I am still very content here. The knowledge of my coach and other coaches plus the level of support provided are the reasons I am still at the gym.

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

Coming to Iron Forged Athletics was one of the best decisions I made in my life. Before I came I was already trying to get myself to make better choices health wise, but with them it was much easier. It was hard on my own because sometimes I found myself unmotivated and told myself I’ll get started later along with staying consistent on both food and different exercises. However after completing the initial 12 weeks I feel much better, more energetic, was able to ditch stubborn body fat I’ve been struggling since last year, improve my flexibility, and have become more proficient in my martial arts. Their program helped me whip myself into a motivator to strive for more than I ever thought possible before through consistent exercise and always being mindful of my diet. Thanks to that I’ve started to meal prep for the week and plan ahead for other meals I have in mind. If you’re thinking joining IFA or on the fence about it then I say go for it. You have great coaches who will help you achieve your fitness goals and in turn will help you achieve your personal goals, and the community will always be there to support you as well as one embarks on the journey for bettering yourself! Top marks all around here! Less

I work night shift as a nurse, had my annual lab work and figured that my triglycerides is sky high and cholesterol level at borderline. As a health care professional I knew that if I will not change my habits I won’t get results. So I started to look for a health fitness gym that will help me reach my goal without any discrimination. It’s my first time to enroll in a fitness program, I have been interviewed for assessment for them to dig in how determined I am to change my habits. The coaches of IFA are amazing, very friendly, professional and intentional in helping their clients achieve their fitness goal. I am also impress with the culture they have built in their class, they are all amazing, friendly and willing to help. It is a community that is conducive for learning . After finishing their 12 weeks initial fitness program, I feel great, and have more energy to perform my task. It is all worth it. Less
Trainers are awesome! The one on one time spent with the individual person makes everything so you can understand the workout and what it does for your body. Highly recommend!

Iron Forged Help Change my Life I am a 48yr old male who topped out at 245lb standing a whole 5’-8” on a good day. I realized I needed to make a change and used a traveling assignment Fayetteville, NC to do so. I looked up local fitness on google and called several places. Jordan at IFA was the only one who called me back and we spoke on the phone, set up an appointment. We met and I realized that if I put forth the effort this might work. The coaches there are simply the best, from my one-on-one coach Cody to the coaches in the classes, Erin, and Jacquelyn. Let’s not forget the owner Jordan who I had several classes with and like the other coaches was always there to help, guide and assist in anyway possible. They were all personably, kind, super knowledgeable and always had an answer to your question. The other members were like minded, supportive and a pleasure to work out with. In 12 weeks, I had lost 20lbs, 5% body fat and one pant size. After 6 months I was down 30lbs, and went from a size 40 to 36, I felt better, slept better, could bend over, and touch my toes, a feat previously unobtainable before. Bottom line, Iron Forged Athletics is the best place to go if you want results. Results you must work for, but if you put forth the time and listen, you will see results, hands down. Only negative is there isn’t an IFA in Michigan. Less
Iron Forge is more than a gym/fitness center. It’s an Amazing community of growth, wellness and encouragement!! This gym is for all fitness levels, from beginners to advanced. The coaches are Amazing they welcome you with open arms and tailor each workout to your fitness level and any disabilities you may have. If you are on the fence, here’s your sign to just do it😜🤣!!
Amazing no judgement zone fitness center! I can not express how friendly, welcoming and encouraging everyone is . The coaches truly care about your goals and are very attentive to your form, safety and modifications needed during class. The workouts are amazing and I enjoy the challenge of each class!
If you want to save you from you, start here. It began with a “no judgment” assessment, the workouts are scaled for where you are at and the community is encouraging. The nutritional mentoring and accountability with your coach is priceless. I feel better, look better and sleep better. Invest in yourself at IFA.
This gym is unlike any other. I've always struggled with intimidation, inconsistency and holding myself accountable when it comes to working out so I never went to gyms. I didn't think I fit the "demographic" and had no clue what I was doing in traditional gyms.

I'm super grateful to have found IFA and excited about the progression I'm already making 6 weeks in! Less
This is not a Crossfit gym, THIS IS A COACHING SYSTEM. The coachs at Iron Forged are some of the most knowledgeable people I know when it comes to fitness. They will work with you to see YOUR goals through, whether that be weight loss, to build muscle, to learn compound movements, or to improve what you want improving. I wouldn't go to any other gym in Fayetteville.
Great environment to work out. Coaches are friendly and supportive. Overall great community to be apart of.
I've been a member since October 2021. Jordan has been my one on one coach and has helped me build my confidence back. I still need alot and IFA is the place for me. Thank you.
I have tried gyms before. In fact when I joined I was paying for a gym that I never went to. The staff after you were a member didn't care if you came or went. Iron Forged is a "family". Now with Iron Forge, I look forward to going. It's a "family". Not only do the caches know who I am but other members. It's fun to work out now!

I'm so grateful to have found IFA. Even though I've only been a member for a little over a month, I'm already seeing real, physical results that I'm confident I wouldn't have without their tailored programming, supportive community, and skilled trainers. Erin has been crucial in helping me regain my confidence to weight lift again post-pregnancy, arming me with knowledge I wish the doctors would have after my c section in November. Even though I have a healthy history with fitness, specifically crossfit, getting back into it was a struggle with a new body and new routine. Jordan and IFA understood from the get go, making sure my goals were reasonable while still holding me accountable. For the first time in about 2 years, I feel excited about my fitness journey and getting back on track. If you're intimidated by the gym, or need that extra bit of motivation or direction, give IFA a shot! Less

I'm more motivated to push further. The owner, Jordan and coaches are extremely knowledgeable. They also genuine making sure you create healthy habits for yourself. This is the best investment I've made for myself. When I leave their classes, I have a lot of energy and feel inspired. Less
Jordan and the crew are absolutely amazing! Unfortunately I had to cancel so I could go to some training for a while, but they definitely helped me get to where I need to be physically. Absolutely professional and a great group of people to be around.
Jordan has been awesome to work with!!! Always there to encourage me even when I wanted to quit and helped me get better each and every time. Highly recommend Jordan and the team at Iron Forged Athletics !

Iron Forged Athletics has always been attentive, creative and responsive to the IFA members. It has always been a great pleasure to workout at IFA and that is due largely to the coaches and the environment they create. The steady evolving of the programming and addition of new programs over the years has shown the willingness of IFA to change to meet the myriad of needs of the members (or a more accurate description would be the "IFA family"). So, it shouldn't come as a surprise at the innovation and adaptation developed by IFA to meet the needs of the IFA family during the restrictions placed on IFA due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The innovation/adaption of workouts during this time have ranged from employing technology to deliver high quality coaching, to outdoor WODs (while maintaining safety of participants, employing and enforcing new and changing health dept rules), to individual programming and more adaptations than I can list or of which I am aware. The facilities and the equipment have always been clean and well maintained. IFA is in many ways the most unique athletic facility in Fayetteville and I am blessed to have the chance to work out there with the other amazing members. I plan on continuing to work out at IFA and I am looking forward to the interesting innovations/adaptions I know await us after reopening the facility. Less

I started CrossFit a little over a year ago and I wish I would have started sooner. The team at Iron Forged is friendly and makes everyone feel welcome. They have a great coaching staff that is knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely want the members to succeed in their personal goals. The workouts are challenging and tough but made scalable to be completed by athletes of any skill level. The coaches will break down each step and take the time to make sure everyone is completing movements correctly and safely. During the COVID quarantine, they’ve hosted daily Zoom calls so members can continue to work on their fitness while the gym is closed, still scaling and getting creative with equipment options at home. The entire team at IFA truly cares about their members and treat you like family. If you’re looking for a gym that’s about fitness and community, look no further than IFA. Less

Great gym
This is the best place for gitting really fit! The coaches are great and the facility is well equipped and spacious!
After moving to Fayetteville, I checked out several gyms - conventional ones at that. I had never done CrossFit before so was nervous to try out IFA. After meeting the coaches and several members I immediately felt like part of a community. I'm grateful for IFA and I actually look forward to the workouts everyday!
Awesome facilty, coaches and better yet members! IFA is the total package.

I was a member here for about 4 months and i liked it.

A month before leaving I let them know I would be away for 3-4 months and not have access to a phone or any means of communication. They said no problem, and put my membership on hold. Once home from the training I realized a month after being gone they started to bill me while I was gone (also for about $10 more a month). Once I brought this to the owners attention, with all the email communication stating when I would be gone and that they would cancel my membership, they refused to refund my money and still are refusing to give me the $300+ I was billed for. After checking other crossfit gyms out in the area I also heard rumors that this is not the first time they have done this to service members as well. I would watch out for this if you are thinking of joining here. Less
Want to improve your athleticism? Get into a stronger, leaner version of yourself?? Here is where you do it. Huge warehouse that offers plenty of space for movement. All the equipment one needs to continuously grow in strength. And a staff, that truly has your best interest in their hears.

Been a member for about 5 months now and I love it. The staff are all incredibly courteous and well trained in instructing everyone from beginners to advanced level athletes(I'm obviously a beginner but I've witnessed the coaches give tips to each other and to other athletes at the gym who have been doing crossfit for several years). I don't believe there's a class that goes by where I don't receive specific instruction or encouragement from one of the coaches. The coaches here aren't laissez-faire or lackadaisical. They're engaged, tuned it, paying attention to each class member as well as the group as a whole, always giving tips or encouragement the entire class session. Everyone from the owner to the head coach to the entire coaching staff are approachable, friendly and helpful whenever you need them. I can't emphasize this enough(because I work at a small business where the boss at my job remains personable with everyone from long time clients to new prospects) the staff here are more than professional yet friendly. From the coaches you're going to encounter daily all the way to the top coach/owner. Because I get to see how management at my workplace keeps an approachable/personable attitude with the clients and because I deal so frequently with clients, I pay very close attention to how other businesses treat clients from when they first come through the door to how they interact on a day to day and I've been thoroughly impressed with IFA. From the front desk where I've always been greeted by name to the owner/head coach who also greets me by name and asks me how I'm doing or how things are coming along EVERY time that he sees me at the gym. I've never been disappointed by the level of service this gym has to offer, not to mention the workouts are always challenging one way or another and keep me excited and engaged which is impressive being that I come in every day of the week and on occasionally on saturdays. Love ya IFA. Less
Life changing experience loving Iron Forged, I have been going for 9 months I am down roughly 57 pounds and stronger physically and mentally ; more than I have ever been in my life. The facility is amazing the coaches, and fellow members are awesome just positive vibe all around! One word AWESOMENESS luv that I am blessed too call Iron Forged my home away from home :)
Great coaches and staff. Coaches are actively involved with class from start to finish. They have class times to meet the most demanding schedules so you have plenty of options for gym time, and they have child care. You will feel like part of a family not just a member at the gym.

Not to mention Nathan Schrader is an Olympic level crossfit athlete himself. The are continuously updating the gym with new equipment and the coaches are not JUST CrossFit certified coaches.

They also have one of the most competitive CrossFit competition classes in the tri-state area. But don't take my word for it. Come down and join our community. At our gym there are no "outsiders" only friends and family. The also offer free classes in yoga, and open gym times also a partner WOD on the weekends so you get more than you pay for. Less

I have been attending IFA since around May 2012. A lot of great things have happened to me at IFA, I've watched my daughter grow up here, I met my husband here and I've made friendships I know will last a lifetime. I think the thing that separates IFA from all of the other gyms in Fayetteville is the training and education that the coaching staff possess. Anyone with a weekend CrossFit Level 1 certificate can legally open a gym. What the staff at IFA possess is a knowledge base above and beyond that. I tell anyone evaluating gyms to join to check out their website and look at the certifications and training of the coaching staff. I believe that of IFA speaks by itself. I also encourage people who are seeking out a gym to inquire about their programming methodologies. A gym who throws together a poorly programmed workout is not safe and will end up injuring you in the future. At IFA the coaching staff's goal is to get you in the best possible shape in the safest manner possible. Don't be fooled by gyms who offer obscenely low prices, because in the end you get what you pay for. If you are serious about training in an environment where safety is always the number one concern then IFA is the place for you. I know that I may be biased but I love IFA and I stand behind their methodology and training. I've seen great results from the attention to programming and coaching that I know I will consistently receive on a daily basis. IFA is for everyone, the mother, the fitness enthusiast, kids trying to get in shape for sports, or someone who has been out of the game for a long time. Don't be intimated, come by and you will see why IFA is truly the best facility in town, hands down. Less
Iron Forged is the best CF facility in Fayetteville! Top notch coaches who go through very specific training meeting specific requirements. They aren't a typical CF gym with daily testing but has knowledgeable programming for training which will eventually be tested. they have a great smoothie/coffee bar and offer other products. Childcare is also available. This is a great facility and community... More
