IKON Strength & Performance

I stumbled upon IKON randomly on Google Maps and decided to give it a try one day. I'm so glad I did! I've been going for about a month now and the overall environment is super positive. I've been working out solo for the last several years, so it's really nice to find a good group of people to workout with. The SWEAT program is super challenging but in the best ways possible. The owners of the gym and coaches are all very supportive and have great communication. I'm excited to continue my workout journey with IKON!

Been going there since August 2023. Doing their Sweat program (CrossFit-like) courses. They extended their days which gave me some flexibility with my workout schedule. All sessions have been awesome. Coaches have also been great and assisting us greatly with our performance and improving on technique. My performance has improved a lot. Glad I went back to working out at a physical location after doing remote workouts for 1.5 years. Looking forward to more workouts at a great place!

Ikon is a great place for all people of different fitness levels and goals. Coach James writes each person customized work out plans in Olympic weightlifting, power lifting, strong man, etc. They have also expanded their gym to host CrossFit classes! The gym community is super friendly and everyone pushes you to perform your best!

I’ve been looking for a gym that had good coaching for strength and power that wasn’t CrossFit and stumbled in ikon. James and the team here are building an awesome culture. James will put together a personal program for you that suited to your goals, lifestyle and injuries. Loving it so far. Also they have CrossFit if that’s what you’re looking for.

Wonderful drop-in for weightlifting training, all the gear you need and in metric system (helpful for foreigner like me). I’ll be back if I’m in the area again! Amazing welcome from the coach.

I joined about 4 months ago & it was the best decision I made! James & Nick are amazing coaches who really take the time to show you how to do a workout in a way that you won’t injure your body. I love that I get to have my own program because I have been seeing an improvement in my body & am seeing great results because it is personalized to my needs & body. The atmosphere of the gym is so welcoming & friendly that it feels more like a family atmosphere rather than a regular gym where you workout on your own. I would highly recommend coming to Ikon! 😁

Droped in for a week during holydays, barbell, weights, equipements,you name it, everything is great.
There's Space, coachs and people are super nice, one of the best place to train i've been to. 👍🏻

I've joined this gym about five months after a year hiatus from weightlifting, and absolutely have zero regrets. Nick and James are some of the most dedicated, hard-working, and attentive coaches I have ever worked with. They have created such a great culture at this gym and really stress the importance of technique and recovery. With their help, I have been able to gain back my strength, and then some. If you are in the Torrance area, I highly recommend this gym.

Ikon strength is the best gym in the South Bay. I’ve been coming here for well over a year, and have made significant improvements in my technique. Not only that, but I’ve had massive PRs in just 8 weeks from following my program! The coaches Nick and James are very attentive, knowledgeable and passionate about what they do! The coaching staff couldn’t be any better. Lastly, the community here is great, everyone is super supportive and welcoming. Sign up now and get ready to take your lifts to the next level!

This is such an amazing gym! If you want to improve your lifts you need to check this gym out. I've attended different CF gyms and dropped in at other well known weightlifting gyms in the area, and the coaching I have gotten at Ikon has been some of the best coaching by far! I came in with a nagging shoulder injury and they were able to give me tips and exercises for me to now move without pain. They spend a lot of time with each and every member. The community is very welcoming, friendly, and fun! They cater to everybody whether you want to lift competitively or if you just have general fitness goals. The gym is super clean and well maintained, I highly recommend it!

This is the place to be if you want to learn and improve your olympic lifts.- The owner James and coach Nick have taught me so much in my first month here. From day one, every member and the coaches have made me feel welcome and comfortable here. It feels great to be in a place where all the members are hard working and the coaches put so much time and care into their training. The new location looks amazing and clean. Glad to be apart of the Ikon Family!

I’ve been a member of Ikon for a little over a month, and have nothing but great things to say about this gym. IKON strength is an awesome gym to join if you’re looking for quality coaching, a sense of community, personalized programming, and GAINZ GAINZ GAINZ. Coach Nick and James work with you to get your technique down and help analyze what it is you need to work on. Although it’s not a “class” these coaches are constantly watching you. TRUST ME. The gym itself is clean, well equipped, and has adequate space for a great workout.

Joined this gym around three months ago and I couldn’t be happier! If you’re looking for weightlifting coaching, you can’t get better! James and Nick are the best. Some of the things I was looking for when I joined and that I love:
-Individualized programming: If you want to get better, this is necessary. This is unheard of at this price.
-Technical coaching: Coaches push technique over numbers and know how to teach fixes.
-Tactile cues: Sometimes it’s hard to learn from abstract description. Coaches uses whatever you need to help you understand.
-Professional environment: NOT a bro gym! It’s comfortable and not intimidating.
-Support: No matter your level, James and Nick take you seriously and work with you on what you need. They also take all athletes seriously and don’t play favorites.

Coach Nick and James are awesome! They are very knowledgeable in all areas of fitness from olympic weightlifting, to bodybuilding, to physical therapy. Their programming is customized to meet your specific fitness goals. Nick and James are very attentive and encouraging. Great place to work out!

Ikon is my first weightlifting gym I have ever come to, James and Nick have created such an amazing environment that it was easy for me to walk out the door with a membership. Nick created a personalized programming for me based on my goals. Nick and James work with me one on one and keep me accountable for completing my programming. I highly recommend this gym to my crossfit friends or anyone looking to get stronger/great technique.

I started my journey with Ikon about 2 Months ago when I felt purposeless in my fitness journey. The second I stepped foot at IKON I knew it was the one for me. Never have I felt more support from a trainer then I have with Nick and James.
The difference in technique, strength and confidence was noticeable in a short amount of time. Not to mention the environment of supportive lifters who cheer you on and make you feel like a badass 💪🏽
I personally was super excited about having a customized program specifically for my needs! They are adamant about safety and injury prevention, which is important for me because It shows how much they care. Would 110% percent recommend anyone of all fitness levels!

The best gym around! Just joined a couple months ago and was immediately welcomed in by James, Nick, and the Ikon family. Since working out at Ikon, I’ve made the most progress in my fitness I have ever had and no longer have so many aches and pains, learning from the wealth of knowledge both James and Nick have when it comes to exercising! Overall, great Coaching and wonderful environment

After watching the olympics, I decided I wanted to try Olympic Weight lifting. I’ve always worked out, but wanted to try something new, and I liked the technical aspect of the sport. Nick and James are really knowledgeable about the weight lifting and mobility, and understand that everyone’s body is different. I started out knowing nothing about the sport and in just a few months, I’ve come along way, challenging both my mind and body. There’s a real sense of community at this gym, the coaching is top notch and I never feel intimidated, only supported.

Amazing gym for all levels of weightlifters. From the top notch equipment to the in-depth personalized programming, coaches James and Nick provide an excellent experience that is second to none in LA. Their attention to detail and emphasis on technique has greatly improved my lifts and overall fitness.

There isn’t a gym that can compare to Ikon and all that it has to offer. The facility as a whole is always kept clean, the coaching is top notch, and the members are friendly/welcoming. Whether you are new to the world of weight training or coming from a globo gym/CrossFit box, you’ll be receiving personalized programming that is meant to help you improve as an athlete while also meeting your goals. James and Nick are experienced coaches who only want to see their athletes succeed. Their coaching is impeccable, their knowledge is vast, and their feedback is always helpful. Since joining their gym, I’ve made major improvements as a weight lifter each and every month. My only regret is that I didn’t discover IKON sooner!
