02 / Coaches

Who's holding the clock.

Every session is coach-led. Our coaches are paid well, keep their own programming, and aren't interested in selling supplements. They'll remember your name by your second class.

Coach 01 · Head coach
Nadia Okonkwo
Strength · Powerlifting

Competitive powerlifter, 485-kg total. Eight years coaching, a background in rehab sciences. She'll programme around an injury instead of around it.

Coach 02
Omar Jalloh
Conditioning · Engine

Ex–pro rugby player, now coaching the classes no-one else wants to. Makes metcons that look short on paper and leave you on the floor.

Coach 03
Jorge Salinas
Olympic lifting

Former Venezuelan junior-national coach. Teaches snatch and clean like a second language. Patience of, frankly, a saint.

House leaderboard.

Three benchmark workouts, each run every twelve weeks — re-tested with the same loads, the same coach, the same clock. All-time house records on the right.

The Ironworks benchmark cycle is three workouts, four re-tests, one year. Members log attempts in the app; the board resets each January.

The Bar — a back-squat, bench, deadlift 1RM total, tested in week 12 of every programme.

The Engine — 2 km row, 4 km assault bike, 2 km row, for time. Scored across twelve heats a year.

The Pull — one hundred pull-ups for time, broken however you like. Tested quarterly.
