Ironmaster Reviews & Testimonials

I moved to NY in the fall of 2022 and only had two small 25lb dumbbells to work out with once there. After a bit of researching I decided to buy the Ironmaster adjustable dumbbells - up to 80lbs each. Because PayPal overrides what information I had used for my Ironmaster account, my weights ended up getting shipped to my old apartment 900 miles away in Auburn, Al.
I thought I was going to pay double what I had in initially anticipated in order to fix things. Luckily I was greeted by Sxxxx from Ironmaster's customer service and he helped me figure out my situation ultimately saving me hundreds of dollars in shipping costs or hours of driving. The product is exactly what you expect and is quality metal. Amazing help from their support team (Sxxxx in particular) and a straightforward American product that does its job well.

I decided to invest in some home gym kit so I could get 'emergency' workouts in whilst on a busy schedule. I realised that in the time it takes to commute to the gym, put stuff in lockers, and wait for people to stop using the machines, I could have got a full 'home workout' in.

There is a lot of home gym equipment to research online - and the quality varies significantly. My main considerations were:
a) How can I make the most of the space I have to work with?
b) Can I get enough exercises out of home gym equipment to make visiting a commercial gym redundant?
c) Will the kit be of a high enough quality & low maintenance?

Eventually, I discovered Ironmaster - and all of these issues were resolved.

I regularly use the Super Bench Pro, Leg Extension and Situp Attachments and have been blown away by the quality and small footprint. Nothing beats pressing on a solid bench with 0 wobbles and gaps. The Leg Extension / Curl was a big selling point for me given how high you can load it - and you can even do nordics with the Situp attachment.

I also have the IM2000 & most of the accessories boxed & ready to assemble for when I move into my new apartment. My only gripe is waiting for the extra accessories that I want to restock!

If you want the most space-efficient equipment without compromising on quality, shop with Ironmaster.

I bought the Super Bench Pro V2, Leg Extension, Hyper Extension, Preacher Curl, and Situp Attachment mainly for declined work. I also purchased the extra roller covers where needed. I love the quality of it all. I'm so glad I went with Ironmaster rather than buying a leg extension/curl machine that only served one purpose. The surprise is how happy I am with the Hyperextension. It's great! The leg extension gets the job done, and I'm completely happy with it. I now have a bench without a gap! I quickly got used to the small seat. I love that I can set the bench at a 90-degree angle to use it for my chest to press against while I do different rowing type/rear delt exercises. I put the seat in the highest position, so my face isn't smashed into the bench. How awesome that I could do that! These items have added so much versatility to my home gym. I've just begun to learn what I can do with it. I don't see myself ever letting go of this equipment :) I don't think you will be disappointed!

I’ve been using the Ironmaster adjustable kettlebell quite often since I purchased it. Just Like their dumbells, the Ironmaster kettlebell is as close to a traditional kettlebell in look and feel. Fit, finish and build quality top notch. I will be ordering a second set soon! Thank you for supporting first responders and military!

I have owned the Ironmaster IM2000 since 2017. I have used it consistently 4 days a week and it looks and operates as new. The bench fabric even looks new. My favorite accessories are the J hooks for free bench press, leg extension for leg curls and the pull up bar. I recommend buying the rope handle for the cable attachment. This IM 2000 is an investment in yourself and will help keep you around a lot longer for your family.

Just finished the install of my IM2000. It’s a beast! So sturdy!. Big + to whomever wrote the instruction booklet - clear, well-illustrated, and well-organized. Best of all is the design and construction of this self-spotting machine. Steel gauge choice, measurements, cuttings, welds, drilling and more are all first rate. I cannot imagine any self-spotting/smith machine having a smoother slide.
Getting the IM2000 down the stairs to the basement and into a spare bedroom, unpacking, and assembly went problem free. Of course, it requires care, close attention to instructions and patience (there are one or two pretty good YouTube videos online that were useful to watch as I read the instructions for the first time). Got it done by myself without any mishaps though – as per the IM2000 instructions – two persons would make the job safer, faster, and easier. A 19mm socket and a few metric combination wrenches (open and closed ends) came in handy. It took me about 4 – 5 hours to do the job.
One last thing. The IronMaster website is well put together and contains so much important information that a thinking consumer will want. Reading the instructions on your site went a long way to convincing me that the people at IronMaster are committed to doing things right.

With a name like IRONMASTER - you expect the best.
That's what you get!
No one comes close to what IRONMASTER offers.

I had been trying to purchase the 75 lb dumbbell set for 1 year. The store (Fitness Equipment of Ottawa) that I was purchasing my equipment through managed to provide me with the Super Bench, the 120 lb add on set, and all the attachments but I hit the wall when it came to getting the 75 lb set due to the pandemic and bad characters out there. I did some research and came across the lottery system that was designed to stop the bad actors in their tracks and allowed Ironmaster to focus on their customers. I was worried I would have all the supporting equipment and not be able to get the 75 lb set. I entered the lottery 3 or 4 times with no success. Ironmaster then announced that there were production/supply issues and didn't know when the products would be ready. They recommended submitting your email address so you would be notified when the next lottery would take place unlike previously having to check for yourself. I was waiting for notification and for some reason decided to check and came to find out I was one day late for the lottery. At that moment I proceeded to indicate my disappointment through the comments box on the website. Within 5 minutes I received a phone call addressing my concerns. He said he would see if there were any sets left after they fulfilled the lottery requirements and if there was any stock left they would give me the opportunity to purchase a set. One week later he emailed me to inform me that there were a few sets left and if I wanted one I had 3 days to respond, just like all the other lottery winners. Of course I jumped on the opportunity to complete my gym. I received the 75 lb set within 1 week at my door and I am in Ontario, Canada. Matt went way over and above the call of duty to make a customer happy. I am totally amazed at the level of service I have received from Ironmaster. In todays world is seems that most businesses are only concerned with their bottom lines. It is obvious to me that Ironmaster is not only concerned with the quality of their products but have the highest level of customer care that I have ever experienced. Ironmaster should go into consulting to teach other companies on how to run a business and treat customers. They are out of this world! And the equipment is extremely high quality. Obviously I am not at a loss for words about Ironmaster...lol. Keep up the excellent work.

I absolutely love my IronMaster Quick-Lock Adjustable Dumbbell System 75 lb Set. It took a little while to figure out exactly how to swap weights quickly, but now that I've got it down I can very easily change how much weight I am working with. Grip is great and the included stand nicely houses everything. I recommend this to everyone who wants a proper weight set!

Love, love, love my Iron Master gym! It didn't all come at once, it took a lot of patience and it was a substantial investment but it's been completely worth every penny! I know this will last me a lifetime and can't be happier with my decision to go with this company. If you are on the fence don't be this is the best home gym setup you will find anywhere, trust me I thoroughly looked. Truly a rare best bang for your buck!

I have a complete home gym. Thanks to Ironmaster COVID lockdowns had no affect on our gym life.
But the Kettlebells are a gamechanger.

The grip is ridiculous and build amazing grip strength and forearm strength ALONG with the normal benefits.

I LOVE these.

Get them, we got two.

Not much to say. Everything is built well. Allows me to go up to 120lbs per dumbbell. I like my ironmasters a lot. Great product.

This Super Bench Pro and Pull-Up bar has been the best addition to my home routine! I have very little space, and I mean little, and my home gym is in a studio apartment on a 3x9 square foot entrance way to my studio and I've been using an exercise ball and dumbbells up to this point.

The SuperBench Pro is solid, I love the narrower width of the bench as it doesn't cause the usual bruising and chaffing on my shoulders and back that other wider benches do. I've been able to access any angles for all of my Inclines, get solid breakdown of the muscle and focused isolation on a super stable bench and the Pull-Up bar is perfect!

I have a bench, in storage but it's too large, bulky and heavy to work with in this tight of an area. The best part of this setup is the super small footprint it has being able to be very effectual in a very small area and easy to move with no compromise on structural integrety. I also love how this is expandable with accessories when I gain the space to add the Lat Pull-Down attachment, my next purchase, well probably the Dip attachment first. Brilliant design and absolutely no complaints of any kind. Thank you IronMaster, I'm sore all the time, a sign of a thourough workout done on great equipment every day.

I've been very impressed with the bench. Simple and sturdy operation. Rock solid! Love that there is an option for adding attachments. Seems like a very good value for the price.

I worked with [customer service] on returns and replacements and I could not have asked for better customer service. Ironmaster wants you to be happy with what you purchase, and that creates lifelong customers. Not only that, but their products are great and deals are posted periodically that can't be beat. For example, I purchased the IM1500 when they were marketing $100 off deal, and their racks always come with J hooks, safety spotter arms, and band pins. Other companies I researched, you would have to buy those attachments separately on top of an already extremely expensive half rack. Thanks for your help, [customer service]!

I went straight to IronMaster and got a better deal than is listed here. IronMaster is a small, family-run business, selling their own designs with minimal overhead. It’s hard to avoid the impression that they are gymrats themselves, and influenced by Arnold’s philosophy that gyms should be simple and functional. My dumbbells shipped in no-frills packaging with a simple QuickBooks invoice. No infomercials, no workout DVD’s, or false promises. I can tell my money went into the product itself and I can’t remember being happier with a purchase.

Do to the gym closings of 2019-20, i was forced to gather equipment to start a home gym. My son was preparing to start his freshman year of football at Purdue and keeping him in shape was top priority. I went through four styles of Powerblock to try to find the perfect fit. Powerblocks are a good idea, but the cage style handles and the chance of damaging if dropped was not ideal for a ”real” gym. I accidentally viewed a video review of Ironmaster dumbells and thought I’d try them out. After trading my set of PB pro for the 75# IM, i was hooked. They are amazing, beyond words. There is one. Issue with screws not tightening at full capacity but [customer service] helped out with a shim set that fixed the problem. These two Ironmaster employees helped me get hooked up with heavy handles and 120# add on. I have since restored this set and they are good as new. I’m 100% convinced these are way above their competitor PB. I will now try and get bench, spotter rack and kettlebell once they become available.
Great job guys!
GRAND SLAM!!!

Love every piece of equipment I bought from here.

This attachment like all Ironmaster products is solid, well built and will last forever.

I just wanted to take the time to say how much I love your product and how happy I am as a customer!
I can’t personally remember the last time I sent a positive email to a company but I felt I needed to after having a chance to use your product for a while now. I purchased your quicklock dumbbells, super bench with the dip bar, pullup bar, and crunch leg attachment about two months ago after performing significant amount of product analysis on various products. I have not historically been very good about getting to the gym and I really wanted to reverse my trend of getting lazier and gaining more weight by having my own home gym. I don’t have a ton of extra space in my place so something that was easy to use, durable, safe, and took up minimal amount of space were all very important to me. I had started my analysis with Bowflex Selecttech dumbbells but just really hated the idea of having weights with plastic parts. I wanted something that would last. I just hated the look of the Powerblocks as well. I wanted my dumbbells to actually look/feel like a real dumbbell. I am personally convinced there really is no competing product to yours after my analysis in the market that offers all the things that I considered import to me. I started lifting regularly about two months 3-4 times per week and I have to say I absolutely love your product. It took a little getting used to taking weights on/off quickly but frankly it’s almost a perfect amount of time to rest between sets to change weights so for me this hasn’t been a big deal at all. The bench is extremely solid and easy to use. I can switch between my exercises at different angles quickly. I just love how well designed and thought out your product(s) are! Kudos to your engineers. I just recently ordered the tower and all the attachments to complete the setup and I’m super excited to try that out too now! Since I’ve received my order, I’ve lost almost 10 lbs and I’m starting to notice real definition and changes to my body. Something I haven’t seen in sadly a long time! I could go on and on and I’m sure you’ve heard this before but I just wanted to take the time to say how much I love your product and how happy I am as a customer! I will certainly be telling all of my friends in the market for a home gym to seriously consider your products! As far as I’m concerned however, you have a customer for life!

Dear Ref:
No company beats Ironmaster for such a fantastic product and outstanding customer service.
WOW!
Very Truly Recommend Ironmaster:

I have been an Ironmaster Customer for over about 14 years. I really have about everything they build. I've watched this Company grow its product line over the years and improvements in their line as well. They do really build a fine line up quality home gym equipment. I've experienced a little shipping damage in the many products I've purchased recently BUT they're always immediately responsive to my concerns and have replaced all damaged items. With Covid this past year, I know they have been swamped In many ways. Product availability I know frustrates them daily. They always do their best to serve the customer and are acutely aware of our relationship in their Company's success. Scott Bush has taken very good care of my many questions, complaints and concerns with genuine respect. I've emailed him with needs and feelings more than a few times. I'm one of those customers that can become a nuisance and ask a lot. Scott's been very patient with me and I appreciate it! Thanks Ironmaster and please recognize Scott Bush for ALL his efforts in your organization. He's an asset.

I am trying to buy a set of iron master dumb bells and he helped me so much.
Great customer service!
They understand how hard it is right now to get a good pair of dumb bells.
He answered all of my questions.
Definitely looking forward to when I am able to purchase 120lb set dumb bells.
Will be an Iron Master customer for life!
Thank You Iron Master

I’ve been meaning to write a review of the Ironmaster Super Bench, the Cable Tower Attachment, the Dumbbell Spotting Stand, and various accessories (the crunch attachment, leg attachment, pulley handle, low row bar, triceps rope, kettlebell, dip bar, chin up bar), but I couldn’t work with all of this without the Adjustable Dumbbells. I was on the lottery several times, and scored at the end of 2020. To be honest, I’ve been so into working out that I haven’t had the time to sit down and write a proper review. All this gym equipment is of an exceptionally high quality. All of it integrates very well. I use ALL of it – each and every part of it. I added a trap bar to it and have all that I need for a superb full body workout routine. I find the height of the Super Bench just fine, and I use all the additional parts at least once every week. I’d say definitely get all the elements from Ironmaster just because they fit perfectly. I don’t miss the gym anymore, because I can do pretty much everything at home. I strongly recommend getting the spotting stand as well, and if you get the dumbbells, definitely get the whole kit with the stand, which works very well to change it up. Thank you, Ironmaster, for this incredible home gym.

I’d like to start and say this is by far the best workout equipment that I’ve ever owned. It’s compact I own the lat tower, bench, 75 pound adjustable dumbbells with stand, leg extension, dip bar, among some other products. I love the workout equipment it works out great and targets all the muscle group areas perfectly it’s engineered to the tea for optimal workouts. I have been entering for the 120 pound extension dumbbell kit on the Dumbbells for the last four lotteries etc. and are not able to order them that’s my only bummer about being able to order the product. I understand there is a shortage but out of 4+ lotteries I wish I could have been able to buy the 120 pound extension kit. But overall you cannot complain about the quality and engineering of this product it is top notch and I absolutely love it. The only thing that would be pretty awesome is if they engineered it to where you can actually put the dumbbells to slide on the leg developer like what they did with their lat tower that would be pretty cool and you would be able to be able to leg extend and curl more weight. Thanks for making a great product. Bill Johnson

I only ordered a couple of olympic plates but I was pleasantly surprised by how fast they got here and the quality of the plates. Ironmaster emailed to let me know they were on the way and they even got here earlier than expected.

I have only just recently purchased and received my Ironmaster QuickLock Kettlebells and they are absolutely stunning. Perfectly weighted, balanced, clean and unique.

However, my positive review is for the company as a whole. During this unprecedented time where any and all fitness equipment is both scarce and valuable, Ironmaster constantly updates it's customers with the status of their inventory and prioritization of product availability. Almost daily, they have a new notice to inform customers when to look out for in stock inventory or an estimation of when product should be available.

Additionally, they don't offer pre-sales which make purchases more fair for those not looking to flip or profit off their equipment. And most recently, they instituted a lottery system for their most popular item - the QuickLock Dumbbells. Rather than be satisfied with selling out to bots or profiteers, they respect their individual customers wishes to obtain their equipment in the most fair way possible.

They may not be budget-level equipment. But you pay for the quality of the product and they will continue to get my money for offering me a satisfying way to both purchase and use their gear!

Very happy. The user guide and maintenance video was helpful. Sprayed and cleaned the threads with WD40 as recommended by the video to remove some minor gunk - can't be sure if that gunk was from manufacturing or my unpacking, but cleaned up and operates as-smooth-as-silk. You don't need a lot of force to secure the weights - a light touch is all that's necessary. Very nice. Very surprised at how fast product was shipped to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada - it arrived a day ahead of schedule!! Thanks so much for keeping your shop open, you've made COVID much more bearable mentally and physically for a lot of people!

I HAVE OWNED THE IRONMASTER 2000 FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, AND COULD NOT BE MORE PLEASED. IT IS A FANTASTICLY WELL ENGINEERED PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT TAKES UP A VERY SMALL 4'x4' AREA. I CAN GET WORKOUTS EQUAL TO, AND SOMETIMES BETTER, THAN I COULD IN A COMMERCIAL GYM, THERE IS LITTLE THAT YOU CANNOT DO ON AN IRONMASTER 2000. I HAVE LIFTED WEIGHTS, AND COMPETED IN POWERLIFTING MEETS OFF AND ON FOR 60 YEARS, AND THIS IS THE BEST ALL AROUND MACHINE I HAVE EVERY USED. I COULD NOT BE MORE PLEASED, AND WILL ALWAYS BUY IRONMASTER EQUIPMENT.

I purchased this bench together with the crunch/sit-up and bar dip handle attachments and additional hybrid bench pad two months ago, and added the leg developer one month later. Assembly in all instances was a breeze—no parts missing, all components perfectly intact, and everything aligned perfectly.  The bench sits very securely on a low-pile carpet, with ample weight and good weight distribution.  Its low height is great for bench presses.  Adjustment for incline/decline is well designed, with quite good choice of angles, although indication of actual angle degrees would be a welcome improvement.  The hybrid pad is a clever design, providing generous support on the wider part, while also affording easy straddling of the narrower part of the bench.  Each of the attachments works well, with good adjustability and ease of switching among attachments.  Once in place, the slide-in seat doesn’t budge.  The two available seat height positions are comfortable for me.  The bench is easy to move around even on a carpeted surface, and it stores very stably in a vertical position, taking up quite little floor space.  The quality of this bench, particularly if one uses it together with Ironmaster’s well-designed system of attachments, provides quite good value for the price.  Highly recommended.
