About Us
Since 1995 Jerusalem has known the first advanced medical sports club in Israel, the one that combines two most popular among Israelis aspects, that is a modern gym and a studio for a variety of training classes. This combination became possible due to the unification of the skills of two professionals that resulted in a new foundation providing the internal and the external benefits: health and strength.
The internal aspect, health, is provided by a professional doctor Dr. Itzhak Ben-Yosef, whereas the external aspect is provided by a worldwide known trainer Michael Khuskivadze.

Every personal program is based on rich professional experience and wide knowledge and both these factors allow a special solution for each problem.

Nestled inside a large modern office building, the IRON GYM, established in 1995, was known for 10 years only to its members and to those individuals who heard about it by word of mouth.

Our objectives
One of the features characterizing an individual is STRENGTH, which is the staying-power and the rate of movement of the body. With the development of technology, most people no longer use their physical strength in everyday activities. Leading a sedentary way of life often ruins one’s health, as the lack of sufficient movement has a negative effect on the necessary level of hormones and on proper blood circulation. This problem may also cause heart diseases. The proper training of muscles and stimulating blood circulation may prevent heart problems. The IRON GYM is designed to substantially improve the overall health of each member. The major objective of regular training in our gym is to strengthen your health, to improve your appearance, to lose weight and to increase your muscle bulk, under the supervision of our trainers.

This is especially important for those individuals who are elderly, and who may not have exercised regularly for many years. We have designed special individualized programs for our elderly members, but to be certain that your physician agrees, we require your doctor's written permission.
Losing weight
The fight against excess kilos is tough for everyone. This war to reduce extra weight is especially complicated for women, as their fat is not distributed equally in their bodies and accumulates in certain body parts. The best diet, adhered to regularly, cannot by itself result in changes of specific body proportions or the slimming of those parts which a woman may hope to achieve, without proper exercise training and physical effort. Combining a proper diet with a professionally designed training program. will lead to a healthy and continuous slimming and a normal functioning of all body systems.
The “secret” of our success!
We believe that the IRON GYM is unique, because of our very special approach. Our gym is directed by Michael Khuskivadze. Misha, as he is known to all, is a worldwide renowned trainer, with 16 years of professional experience in his native Georgia of the former Soviet Union, and 11 years here in Jerusalem. Misha develops a personalized written training program for every new member. This program is reviewed by Misha with each member every 3 months, and changed in consultation with the member’s wishes and progress. There are probably no two members in the IRON GYM with the same program, because Misha carefully tailors the training program to each member’s needs and objectives. Misha, together with Arik, a young and very good trainer, supervise each and every member during their exercises at all times, making every member in the IRON GYM feel as though he has a private trainer working with him exclusively! Misha does not allow any member to exceed the recommended level of training, or to increase the weights of any exercise machine above the limit which he prescribes at each session. Exact written records are maintained in a separate folder for each member, where the training activities at every single exercise session are recorded. enabling each member to review his or her progress on an ongoing basis.
