About Iron and Lime Fitness
About Iron and Lime
Iron and Lime started in a garage gym built for use, not aesthetics. We review home gym equipment based on long-term, unsponsored ownership. No first impressions. No paid opinions. Just what holds up after months of real training. If you're building a home gym and want to skip the expensive mistakes, start here.

Dad. Active-duty Army. 20+ years of lifting and more equipment mistakes than he'd like to admit. Drew built Iron and Lime to document what actually works when your time is limited, your space matters, and your gear has to earn its floor space. He's the voice behind every review, video, and training take on this site.
