Why we opened
A gym run by coaches, not by salesmen
Iron Yard was started in 2019 by two strength coaches who were tired of gyms that sold a year and forgot you in a week. The rule here is simple: nobody trains without a plan, and nobody goes a month without someone checking how it is going.
That is also why we cap memberships. A smaller gym that knows your name gets better results than a bigger one that does not.
