Let me start by saying this may be a great place if you are healthy enough to do all the exercises in the program. I would not suggest this place if you are disabled or if you have previous issues or injuries.

Where do I start? When I first came to Ira, I explained that I was a complete couch potato and that I was also a disabled veteran with some previous injuries. I told him I wanted a training program that would allow me to progress into increased and intense activity over time (I did not want to go right into kill mode). I also wanted something custom made because of my injuries. The second day that I went to work out at his gym, I ended up injured (doing too much too fast). I sprained a quadricep muscle. Of course I, made him aware of the injury before I left the gym. He had me roll some kind of a pole up and down on my thigh I guess to alleviate the issue. However, as the day wore on the pain grew worse. When I tried to contact him, I could not get him to return any of my messages. I ended having my mom call him to explain I was still having an issue. It was suggested to ice the thigh and come back in a couple of days to work out again. Obviously, I did not go back because I was still in pain. I would send him texts on my progress with his only response being, "Ok, great..." I never heard from him again. There were no inquires made as to whether I was ok or whether or not I would come back or any offer of further assistance.

My experience working out at his gym was like being thrown in a massive herd of animals. There was about 25 or more of us. Do this exercise and eat this way. There were people in the group of all fitness levels working out. There was no making sure your form was correct to prevent injury. Also, he (or someone else) would show you a modification of the exercise, but as the training session progressed on he would lose focus of continuing to show modifications to those of us that could not do the regular exercises because we had limitations. I would have to flag him down to show me the modifications. You either got the exercises or you did not. It was a sink or swim kind of experience for me.

I felt like I was nothing but a dollar. The only time you received his attention is when you were buying. When I first walked in to meet him it was the same way. He always had something else going on. It was, "I will be with you in a minute." My overall experience was I could not get his attention when I needed it, and when I did his attention and responses were short and pert. I even had the impression that I was a nuisance. I'm not the kind that requires constant attention, but if I am in your face asking a question or making a request its a reasonable one. I understand he is the owner and that he has a lot of people, but still.
