Important!

Realize that we are NOT Personal Trainers. We are lifters looking to get stronger just like you. So DO NOT come in expecting us to hold your hand and walk you through everything. We are happy to have anyone join in, beginner or not, but come in with a plan and be ready for anything.

When you come into Ironworks, please come up and say hi. We will be happy you are there, but then get to work. See what we are training that day and you can join in with our lifts or do your own if there is room. We don’t mind dropping weight to have others hop in so don’t be shy.

If you need help seeing what to do for a powerlifting training warm-up, check out our How To Warm-Up Guide.

You can do any program you want when training with us. We are all at different levels and have different things to work on. If you need a program you can check out our strength programs. For beginners, we recommend you do our Base Of Strength Program.

The main point of this powerlifting training team is to help each other get better at any level. So be ready to help your fellow Strength Warriors just as much as you will be helped.
