FOR THE PEOPLE
WHO NOTICE THE DETAILS.

There's more to a gym than its square footage or membership price. It's the feel of the place, the equipment you can't find anywhere else, and the little things that make you want to come back.

Iron Index is a growing collection of firsthand gym visits, honest takes, and standout machines. Starting with New England. No paid rankings, no generic lists, just places we'd actually want to train.
