I started as a complete beginner with a goal of losing 25 pounds. After three months I've lost 12 pounds, feel stronger, more confident, and I'm well on my way. Ioana was incredibly patient, detail-oriented and made sure I learned every movement correctly. I highly recommend Iron Lab to anyone looking for real results and personalized support.

Coached by a team that's done the work
Martin Voslar founded Iron Lab in 2011 after spending years figuring out the hard way what actually works. Growing up in Czechoslovakia as a skinny-fat kid with zero strength and confidence, he discovered that the gym changed not just his body but the entire direction of his life. That experience is the foundation of how Iron Lab coaches: four pillars, no shortcuts, and a system built to deliver results that last, backed by a 30-day guarantee.
Every coach at Iron Lab is hand-picked, not just for their qualifications, but for how they listen, how they communicate, and whether their personality is a genuine match for yours. Because the best program in the world doesn't work if you dread showing up. On your free consultation we take the time to understand who you are and what would be the best type of personality to vibe with yours, so the fit is right from day one.

What Vancouverites say about Iron Lab
In just 4 months we've brought down my weight significantly, improved my strength and cardio, but most importantly my blood sugar has dropped almost 2 points, my LDL, blood pressure and resting heart rate have all dropped notably, putting me in position to potentially come off medication. That kind of result is invaluable. Martin was patient through my initial hesitation and helped me build a lifestyle strategy, not just a quick fix. Iron Lab has your best health outcomes in mind, no doubt.
I cannot say enough about Iron Lab. I began going about 2.5 years ago. Ioana has managed to help build muscle and strength in an older, arthritic, and rather damaged body in a completely safe manner. I walk out of every session feeling upright, strong and better than ever. The level of knowledge, care and attention she gives is remarkable. It's never too late to start weight training and Iron Lab is the place to do it.
When you give us the full picture, we guarantee the results
Real, lasting transformation doesn't happen in the gym alone: it happens in your kitchen, your sleep, your stress levels and your mindset. That's why our hybrid and online coaching programs cover all four pillars, and why we can back them with a 30-day, 100% money-back guarantee. When we have the full picture, we can build a plan that actually works and stand behind it completely.
The guarantee isn't a gimmick. It's how we hold ourselves accountable.
Start With a Free ConsultationYou've probably got a few of these
Pricing depends on your goals, how you train and which coaching approach fits your life best. On the free consultation we'll walk through all the options and recommend what makes the most sense for you, including what fits your budget.
Most of our clients start exactly where you are, and honestly, beginners usually progress the fastest. You learn correct technique from day one and never have to unlearn any bad habits. We meet you exactly where you are, and we'll make sure you never feel lost or out of place. Everyone starts somewhere. This is your start.
For most people, in-person is the fastest way to learn proper technique and build momentum. We recommend it if you live or work close to our Vancouver studio. Online works well if your schedule is demanding, you travel frequently, or you live outside Vancouver. We'll cover the pros and cons of each on your free consultation so you can choose what works best for your life.
It's completely normal to feel skeptical, especially if you've tried before and it didn't stick. That's exactly why we offer a 30-day, 100% money-back guarantee. Follow your coach's guidance, stay open and communicative, and if you don't see real results within the first 30 days, we refund you every penny, no questions asked.
We can stand behind that because we've built a system, not a hope. Show up and follow the plan. That's all we ask.
Sooner than you think, and longer than a 12-week transformation promise. Here's what most of our clients experience:
Weeks 1–2: Energy levels improve, sleep gets better, you start showing up consistently.
Week 4: Strength is measurably increasing. You'll feel it every session.
Weeks 8–12: Body composition changes are visible. Clothes fit differently.
Month 3+: New habits are automatic. This is where the permanent change takes root.
Results vary based on your goals, starting point and consistency, but if you follow the plan, progress is not a question of if. It's when.
We don't lock you into long contracts, but we do ask for 90 days of trust. That's the window where real, lasting change happens. It gives us time to build your roadmap, dial in your nutrition, track your progress and show you how far you've come.
After your initial 90 days you can continue month to month, or choose a 3, 6 or 12-month coaching package, with meaningful savings the longer you commit. The longer the commitment, the more powerful the transformation.
The next 30 years start with one conversation.
