Why The Iron Generation Gym is Perfect for Mums Looking to Lose the Tums

When people hear “strongman” or “bodybuilding” gym, they often imagine giant weights, loud grunts, and an intimidating environment. But step inside The Iron Generation Gym in Barwell, near Hinckley, and you’ll quickly see it’s so much more than that. It’s a welcoming, supportive place where anyone can get fitter and stronger. For mums who want to lose the tummy, rebuild confidence, and feel great again, it’s one of the best gyms in the area. In fact it’s the only gym in the area.

And here’s the bonus: children and even dogs are welcome – making it one of the most practical gyms for busy mums. If you do bring your child, be safe! It is an environment filled with heavy iron weights, after all.

No Children Under 18 Months for Safety Reasons

1. A Friendly, Supportive Atmosphere

Despite its serious strongman equipment and bodybuilding heritage, The Iron Generation Gym has a warm, down-to-earth vibe. Whether you’re brand new to fitness or returning after pregnancy, you’ll find encouragement instead of judgment. Everyone’s focused on their own progress, and mums are supported every step of the way.

2. Bring the Baby (and the Dog!)

Childcare can be one of the biggest barriers to fitness, but at The Iron Generation Gym you don’t need to worry. Babies are welcome – you can keep prams nearby while you train. And if you’ve got a furry friend, dogs are welcome too. This creates a family-friendly atmosphere that makes the gym stand out in Barwell and beyond.

Please be sure that your dog is well trained and not intimidating. We also ask that it is kept on a lead for safety reasons

3. Opening Hours That Work for Mums

Convenience matters, and the gym’s schedule is built with flexibility in mind. With opening hours from 6am to 10pm on weekdays, and 8am to 6pm on weekends, there’s always a slot to fit around school runs, nap times, or busy family life. Whether you’re local to Barwell or commuting in from Hinckley, you’ll find a time that works.

Mums with tums prefer to visit the gym from 6am – 12pm

4. Trainers Who Understand Post-Pregnancy Fitness

The coaches at The Iron Generation Gym are approachable, knowledgeable, and experienced in working with mums. They understand how bodies change after pregnancy and can design safe, effective workouts that strengthen your core, improve posture, and target tummy fat. You’ll build confidence without ever being pushed into something that doesn’t feel right.

5. Straight Talk: Facilities Aren’t Fancy

Honesty matters – the changing room facilities here aren’t spa-like. But you’re not in the gym for luxury showers; you’re there for results. Most mums are in and out in about an hour, so the no-frills setup really isn’t an issue. What you do get is quality equipment, expert guidance, and a supportive environment – and that’s what really counts.

Please leave our changing room facilities in the state that you found them (hygienic)

6. Why Strength Training Works for Mums

Endless cardio and fad diets rarely shift stubborn tummy fat. Strength training, however, is a proven game-changer. By building lean muscle, your body burns more calories even at rest. That means faster fat loss, better tone, and the kind of strength that makes everyday mum life so much easier.
