Negative experience: Stole my money during COVID. The guy took an entire month’s membership money from me and 2 other friends before shutting doors the next day. Stupid of me but the guy who I’m assuming was the manager is a liar and cheat

Positive experience: The manager is so kind! Good music, good location, and the price is just! If you pay 4 months they make a discount, and the membership of students is more cheap.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town. Great vibes and I don’t remember the last time I had to wait for equipment like other cookie cutter gyms around. Patt(the owner) takes the time to learn the stories of everyone that walks through the gym doors and really works hard to make it feel like home away from home. All gym owners should take a page out of his book.

Fantastic experience: I’m confident enough to say that this is hands down the best and the coolest gym I’ve ever been had the pleasure of working out at. That’s saying a lot because I’m a military firefighter and I’ve worked out at a lot of gyms! Pat, the owner, is dedicated to his business. He’s literally always here. He has put his heart and soul into making this a successful gym, not only for himself but more important for the fine people who choose to workout here. The equipment is awesome. It’s old school stuff. You feel like a true Arnold when you’re working out here. Also, no more waiting around for the bench press. He’s got more than enough! I seriously can’t say it enough times. This is the best gym I’ve ever been to and I look forward to coming back every day! Also for you cardio freaks out there, he’s got lots of cardio equipment too. It’s just amazing here.

B Richardson 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I just started here, but I really like the vibe here. No BS. Wasn't as intimidating as I thought it would be, and Pat is very knowledgeable and helpful. Hope you're vaccinated lol. There's a reason this place is the oldest gym in Saskatoon and still around. I'll update this in 3 months.

Fantastic experience: It's hard to find an old school gyms anymore, Iron Works is an amazing gym for all walks of life. The owner Pat is a treasure from the past he personifies the old school feeling, and he started Iron works in 1984 and has been going strong since then.

Fantastic experience: Grew up in Saskatoon and spent countless hours training at Iron Works Gym. 30 years later and living in a different city, my travels have led me to train in many gyms throughout Western Canada. Not a single gym has compared to the unique atmosphere at IWG. No windows, the smell of rubber matting, chalk dust, older equipment, music cranked, little fashion; the best workouts of my life started when I walked down those stairs into this friendly weight dungeon. I miss Iron Works Gym dearly.

Spencer de Klerk 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been training for a decade and I went to visit family in Saskatoon, just randomly stumbled into this place on my way to Goodlifr. It felt like I was at Venice beach Golds gym. Hands down the best gym I have been to in CANADA. I love that all the weights are steel and that some conventional machines pull with gears and sprockets. Nothing compares to that old school grind this place makes one feel. Love it love it love it. Dorian Yates would shed a tear if he walks in there!!!

Mitchell Linklater 7 years ago
