About
Since 2011
Strength gym · Sheffield
Cast Iron opened in a unit off Attercliffe Road in 2011, with four platforms and a secondhand rack. There are twelve platforms now and the rack is still here.
We are a barbell gym. That is the whole idea. There are no screens on the wall, no class running through the middle of your session, and no machine that does the thinking for you. What there is: calibrated plates, competition bars, a lot of chalk, and somebody on the floor who can tell you why your third rep moved differently to your second.
Coaching is part of the membership rather than an upsell. If you have never held a barbell you get taken through it properly in your first week. If you have been lifting for fifteen years we will leave you alone unless you ask.
What we can prove
We only list what we actually hold. Happy to show you the paperwork.
