The expertly guided sessions are designed to prioritise your safety and ensure that you move with confidence and grace. The trainers believe in the power of mastering the fundamentals and executing them flawlessly, and they are committed to helping every member achieve this level of skill.

To get started at Iron Tribe, the process begins with a free consultation to learn about your goals and motivations. Following this, there are three private on-ramp sessions where you will build the foundation of technique and strength. Once you have completed the on-ramp, you are ready to join the main group and continue your journey with the support of the Iron Tribe community.

One of the highlights of Iron Tribe is their focus on Olympic lifting. Whether you are a beginner or advanced lifter, their sessions cater to all levels. The team understands the importance of training with a group for motivation and accountability. They have taken inspiration from their favourite gyms and created a team environment that encourages and uplifts every individual.

Each session at Iron Tribe begins with a warm-up designed to prepare your body for the training ahead. The focus is then shifted to the main technical movements, such as the snatch, clean, and jerk, before moving on to strength movements like squats, presses, and pulls. Most sessions conclude with accessory work to help bulletproof the body and prevent injuries.

Iron Tribe believes that having a plan is essential for success. In the initial stages of membership, trainers work closely with each member to teach them how to use their training log. The importance of setting small attainable goals along the way is emphasised, as it is the key to reaching larger goals in the long run. The motto at Iron Tribe is “The journey is the adventure,” emphasising the importance of enjoying the process and embracing the challenges along the way.

At Iron Tribe, they are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. Members are encouraged to say hello to everyone when they arrive, leave their egos at the door, and introduce themselves to new members. They are all equal and always ready to help each other out. The trainers emphasise practising good form, asking for help when needed, and following the plan unless the coach advises otherwise.

Fun is encouraged, but sticking to rest periods and not counting bad or incomplete attempts is important. Cleaning up after oneself and showing respect for the equipment and teammates is also emphasised.

Iron Tribe was founded with the goal of providing a gym and sports club where individuals can come together as a community and embark on their fitness journey. With a focus on Olympic lifting and expert guidance, Iron Tribe is dedicated to supporting their members in achieving their goals and creating a vibrant and empowering community together.
