Staying on track with fitness goals is a very personal journey and at Ironside Industry we want you to walk away strong, capable, and feeling positive about your own gains – both mentally and physically.
SOCIAL WELLNESS IN 2024
Fitness in 2024 is not just about body building and weight loss, it is about holistically investing in body, mind and spirit. And, although we believe that excellent facilities and equipment are your right, we know that members are looking for a supportive environment where all levels of fitness are celebrated, and recovery is seen as an integral part of the journey.
It's about being #strongerthanyesterday.
Ironside Industry is more than a gym. It is the first social wellness club in Warwick. With its origins in Los Angeles, the concept of a social wellness club brings together the traditional powerlifting gym floor with cardio, gym classes, exercise physiologists, personal trainers, nutritional support, holistic therapies and recovery services including infrared sauna, compression boots, hydrotherapy, chromotherapy, contrast therapy, salt caves, hot yoga and ice baths. The concept is relatively new in Australia, and we are proud to be bringing it to life right here in Warwick on the Southern Downs.
Whether you are training for a competition, meeting up with your personal trainer or just showing up for your own wellness goals, at Ironside Industry we want to foster human connection, which is a vital part of self-care. There is no judgement here – we have your back.
HOW IT STARTED
We started out with a desire to be different, to be bold and unforgiving, and our centre recently celebrated five years of providing the Southern Downs community with a safe, professional and world class 24-hour gym.
When we found the historic Factory Precinct, it was aesthetically spot on for what we had in mind as a building. From the exposed brick and pipe work to the beams in the ceiling. It all told a story. It may not have been purpose built for a gym, but it was built for a purpose and tells a story of our community.
Building a fitness business from the ground up has not been easy. Ironside Industry came up against all sort of odds from ‘not another gym’ to ‘what’s so special about this gym?’
What was special at the time is that it was ours, it was and still is owner-operated and it is proudly locally owned.
HOW IT WENT
We forged ahead and laid the foundation for the gym of our dreams but within three months of opening, the pandemic surprised us all. We needed to pivot our business model to make ends meet and came up with the idea of hiring out equipment for those trapped at home under lockdowns.
Thankfully we were still able to sell supplements to assist members in maintaining healthy lifestyles during one of the greatest health crises of our time. And, when the doors were finally allowed to open, the rules were very strict. It was only by the good graces of our very patient members and our team working split shifts that the gym could open for members at certain times.
The pandemic allowed us to look at business differently and we started asking ‘what if we not only provided a great place to train, but also provide a space for recovery?’
HOW IT'S GOING
As one of the first facilities to bring Sunlighten infrared sauna to Warwick, another round of exciting upgrades occurred in 2023 when we opened ColdFire Recovery Rooms and increased the footprint of the gym to allow for a much larger gym floor with targeted powerlifting, cardio, circuit and weight zones.
2024 promises to be another ripper of a year as we progress with new ideas and welcome new members to our team. We hope you will come along for the ride!
