Strength Foundations
Squat, hinge, press, pull. Twelve weeks of barbell fundamentals with a coach on every rep. Where every Ironworks lifter starts — and where most wish they'd started years ago.
Strength & Conditioning Facility
Strong is a choice.
No mirrors. No machines. No excuses. Barbells, chalk, coaching and 14,000 square feet of iron in the heart of Jacksonville. Show up. We handle the rest.
What We Do
Pick your poison.
Three coached tracks and round-the-clock open floor. Every program is written in-house, reviewed weekly, and scaled to the lifter in front of us — not the spreadsheet.
Ironworks Conditioning
Sleds, ropes, carries and intervals built for people who hate cardio. Forty-five minutes, lungs on fire, strength intact. This is conditioning with a purpose.
Competition Team
Powerlifting and strongman prep under coaches who still compete. Attempt selection, peaking, meet-day handling. Fourteen state records and counting.
This Week
The board.
Forty-eight coached sessions a week. Your job is to pick one and walk through the door.

Walked in at 41 having never touched a barbell. Eighteen months later I pulled 315 at my first meet. The coaches never let me sandbag a single session.

I've belonged to six gyms in ten years. This is the first one where the coach knew my name, my numbers, and exactly when I was dogging it.

The 5:30 AM crew changed my life. Nobody's on their phone. Everybody's working. It's the hardest and best hour of my day.

Your first week is free.
The rest is up to you.
Walk in any weekday before 7 PM for a tour and a coached intro session. No sales pitch — just a barbell and an honest conversation.
