Great gym! Amazing jiu jitsu program. Shannon and Micheal phenomenal coaches. Shannon often uses the ecological approach. His classes are great workouts.

Best place on earth if you ask me. I started at the gym as a guest at the Castleton location and then became a permanent member at the Norfolk location. There’s definitely a community and even during peak hours you can get a good work out in. This gym is definitely for all levels from beginners to intermediate and advanced.

If you were thinking of training hard and want to compete at a professional level, this is the place. You will find many people, many references to guide you to do the exercise. They have a great staff. They offer massage training services. It's always clean, has good music, and a good atmosphere. The people who train are respectful.

Iron Asylum Gym is easily one of the best gyms I’ve been to! The equipment is solid, the atmosphere is intense, and it’s perfect for serious training. No waiting for machines, no unnecessary rules—just straight-up hard work. The community is great, the gym is clean, and the music keeps you pumped. If you’re serious about lifting, you’ll love it here. Highly recommend!

Extremely clean gym with well maintained equipment that gets new stuff added every year. I will say this is not the gym for the casual gym goer or people new to working out. Majority of the people that go here are experienced Body builders, power lifters, Influencers and Military members. The price while seemingly high at first is reasonable if you are willing to commit to a year(You don't have to recommit after your first year to keep that lower price, and you are able to pause that year commitment if you are a Military member for Deployment or TAD orders) But the main selling point of this gym is the relaxed rules, you are paying to be able to use chalk, record videos, be as loud as you want and wear (or not wear) whatever you want. BUT with that people are respectful and are fairly good about not exploiting these rules or pushing the limits.
