From a 2,000 sq ft warehouse with a handful of barbells to the most decorated training facility in the region. This is how the forge was built.
Iron Forge Fitness started in 2015 with a 2,000 square foot warehouse, a set of barbells, and one relentless vision: to build the gym we always wished existed. A place where effort is respected, results are expected, and every member is part of something bigger.
What began as a grassroots strength community has grown into a 15,000 square foot, full-service training facility with 18 elite coaches, 60+ weekly classes, and a recovery suite that rivals professional sports complexes.
But at our core, we are still that same warehouse crew. We still believe the barbell does not care about your background, your bank account, or your bad day. It only asks one question: how hard are you willing to work?
A former Division I athlete and CSCS with 15+ years under the bar, Marcus opened Iron Forge in 2015 with $30k of savings and a used set of Rogue plates. He still coaches the 6AM Power Lift class every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and knows most of the 5,000 members by name.
Under his direction, Iron Forge has produced 14 state-level powerlifting champions, 3 CrossFit Games regional athletes, and thousands of everyday people who simply got strong.
We celebrate effort and consistency. Natural talent is a gift; what you do with it is a choice. We choose to outwork everyone.
You will never train alone. From your first day, the Iron Forge family has your back. We spot each other, on the bench and in life.
There are no hacks, no magic pills. Just smart programming, hard work, and relentless consistency. We trust the process.
We invest in the latest equipment, education, and methodologies. Stagnation is the enemy. Growth is the mission.
Every body is welcome. Every goal is valid. Whether you are rehabbing an injury or chasing a world record, you belong here.
Motivation fades. Results keep you coming back. We measure, track, and celebrate every milestone on your journey.
