Welcome Back to Where It All Started: Iron Generation Gym Is Stronger Than Ever

If you’re reading this, chances are you already know what it means to train hard. You don’t skip leg day. You don’t waste time looking for shortcuts. You know the sound of iron plates hitting the floor is more satisfying than any playlist. You’ve probably trained at Iron Generation Gym before. or maybe you helped build the culture that made it what it is.

Now it’s time to come back home.

The Foundation Never Changed

At Iron Generation Gym, we’ve always been about one thing: hard training, no excuses. While some gyms chase trends or soften their edges to appeal to the masses, we’ve stayed true to our roots. This place was built for serious lifters – bodybuilders, strongmen, powerlifters, boxers and anyone else who lives for the grind.

We know a lot of lifters have moved around and chased different gyms. But nothing hits like the gym where you first found your fire. That raw energy, the community of people who actually understand what “one more rep” means, and the environment where being strong isn’t weird, it’s expected.

New Equipment, Same Attitude

We’ve upgraded without selling out. We’ve invested in equipment built for serious performance. But we didn’t get rid of your old favorites. The heart of the gym is still here.

Built by Lifters, for Lifters

Let’s be honest: Most gyms today feel more like coffee shops with treadmills. Iron Generation is different. We’re not for everyone, and that’s the point.

We’ve brought back former coaches, introduced new programming options for powerlifting, bodybuilding, and hybrid athletes, and are building a team of lifters who live this lifestyle—just like you.

If you ever walked into Iron Gen and felt like you belonged, you still do.

Time to Come Back

We’re not here to beg. If you’ve moved on, we respect that. But if you’ve been missing the feeling of walking into a gym where everyone around you gets it, we’ve got a rack waiting for you.

This is your gym near Hinckley. This is your community. This is your second home.

Welcome back to Iron Generation Gym.

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.
