The programs
Pick your fight
Every class is coached, capped at 12, and scaled to exactly where you are today.
Barbell Strength
Squat, press, deadlift. Linear progression, real coaching on every rep. The foundation everything else is built on.
Conditioning
Engine-building intervals and mixed-modal metcons. 45 minutes that make the stairs feel shorter.
Olympic Lifting
Snatch and clean-and-jerk technique, drilled patiently. Bumper plates, platforms, and a lot of chalk.
Open Gym
Your program, our equipment, a coach on the floor. Come train your own thing whenever the doors are open.
Why Ironhaus
The gym that actually coaches
Coached every session
Never a room of strangers guessing. A coach runs every class and knows your name and your numbers.
A crew, not a contract
People here notice when you’re missing. That accountability is the whole reason it works.
Real equipment
Eleighty platforms, calibrated plates, rig space for days. No waiting for a machine that does the work for you.
Scaled for you
Fresh off the couch or a former college athlete — same class, coached to your exact level. Everyone starts somewhere.
The coaches
Who’s on the floor
Marcus Reed
Head coach · Powerlifting
Three national meets, twelve years coaching. Believes the deadlift fixes most things.
Tasha Nolan
Conditioning · Mobility
Ex-collegiate rower. Will find the exact 30 seconds you wanted to quit — and get you through them.
Diego Cruz
Olympic lifting
USAW certified. Turns nervous first-timers into people who chase a heavy snatch on purpose.

The crew
Steel gets made here
Deadlifted 315 for the first time last week. Eighteen months ago I couldn’t do a single push-up. The coaching is the difference — they never let me half-rep.
Renata V.
Member, 18 months
I’ve had memberships at four big-box gyms and quit all four. This is the first place that felt like people would notice if I disappeared. So I don’t.
Kwame B.
Member, 2 years
Came in terrified as a total beginner. Diego spent my whole first class on setup and made me feel like I belonged. Now I coach the newbies myself.
