IRONWORKS Book a session
Loaded barbell on the platform

The floor

Put in the work.

Barbells, chalk and coaching — a gym for people who train, not pose.

The house creed

  • Warm up
  • Work hard
  • Wipe down
  • Squat
  • Press
  • Pull

Train with us

Lift. Learn. Leave better.

  1. Real coaching

    Every member gets a programme and a coach who actually reads it.

  2. Heavy things

    Bars, plates, racks — maintained daily, dropped safely.

  3. No mirrors

    Form is checked by coaches, not selfies. The camera adds nothing to a deadlift.

The coaches

Hands-on, chalk included.

Mads Krogh

Head coach

Powerlifting referee, patience of a geologist. Fixes deadlifts by watching your shoes.

Rita Osei

Strength coach

Runs the beginner blocks. Has never once said 'just one more' without meaning it.

Owen Pryce

Mobility coach

The reason half the gym can squat below parallel again. Believes in boring warm-ups.

From the platforms

Lifters on the record

First gym where a coach fixed my deadlift instead of selling me a shake.
Ryan DohertyCoached member, year two
I came in scared of the barbell. Eight weeks later I bought a belt.
Jess WhitmoreBeginner block graduate
No mirrors sounded weird until I stopped watching myself and started lifting.

Good to know

Before your first session.

I've never touched a barbell — welcome?

Our favourite members — no habits to unlearn. The first month is coached closely.

Do you run classes?

Small-group strength, capped at eight. It's coaching, not choreography.

Can I drop in?

Travelling lifters welcome — day passes at the desk, chalk included.

The floor

Come lift.

First session is coached and free. Bring trainers.
