Frequently asked questions
-
Yes! All of our personal trainers are full-time professionals (this is NOT a side hustle for us!) and are well-versed in dealing with injuries (think: low back, knees, elbows, hips, and shoulders). As a team, we bring in professionals like physical therapists to teach us industry best practices and training methods for dealing with all sorts of medical issues, injuries, and life events (including pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, hyper mobility, and more).
-
These sessions are for anyone new to our studio. The coach will meet you at your current abilities and fitness level - whether you are brand new to fitness or an athlete. We highly recommend all clients begin with this package and encourage new clients to have an open dialogue with their coach about their wants, needs, likes and dislikes!
-
If you have prior experience with the barbell bench press, deadlift and back squat - please email us at info@ironandmettlefitness.com
For the safety and comfort of our members - we require that all new clients without formal barbell training experience start with our 3 intro sessions. If cost is a limiting factor, please email us at info@ironandmettlefitness.com so we can pair you with other new clients at a shared cost!
-
24 hours prior to the start of the session. If you need to cancel or reschedule your session - please reach out to your assigned coach via email or text!
-
While our studio is focused on the unique needs of women, such as training considerations during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause, we welcome people of all genders. We have male-identifying clients who train with us and love the supportive, form-focused environment.
It’s important to us that Iron + Mettle remains a safe and inclusive space for everyone, so we ask that all clients, regardless of gender, treat each other with respect.
-
You will receive an intake form via email after purchase - this is how you book your sessions. Please fill out that form and we will pair you with one of our trainers to get scheduled! If you do not receive an intake email, please email us at info@ironandmettlefitness.com and we’ll get one to you ASAP!
Typically, it takes about 1 - 2 weeks after purchase to get into the studio for your first session, as our coaches plan their schedules about 1 - 2 weeks in advance.
We currently have availability Mon - Friday 5AM - 8PM for personal training. Weekends are fully booked.
-
Strength training is for people of all ages, fitness levels, shapes and sizes.
No matter your age or experience - we can teach you how to find a variation of each lift that works for your specific body. We take into account your anthropometry, mobility, injury history, and starting point. We will meet you where you're at.
Our oldest client is in her late-70's and she can bench 55lbs, deadlift 85lbs, and press a 35lb barbell overhead. She had never strength trained in her entire life until she found our studio.
We also have clients who were collegiate athletes looking to get back into training!
-
No. We match you with a trainer based on your intake form, goals, experience level and scheduling availability.
If you want to inquire whether a trainer is available at a specific time slot, please email or text us before you purchase.
-
Most clients work with the same trainer for all 3 sessions.
Clients are welcome to switch trainers at any time. If you want to work with other trainers, please send us an email and we will schedule you with a different person. Please note not all of our coaches are available on the same days/times each week so please let us know your availability and we’ll get you paired with someone new ASAP.

Since 2019, Iron and Mettle has taught over 1,000 clients how to lift weights. We use a proven progressive strength training model that is rooted in science. Progressive overload is the only way to build muscle, increase bone density, and build strength.
Iron and Mettle does not have any mirrors, scales, or body measurement tools on our gym floor. We do not take before/after photos of our clients. We care that you leave our four walls feeling better than when you came in.
Iron + Mettle is built on the belief that health is so much more than just a number on the scale. Exercise and nutrition can be things we do - not because we hate our bodies - but because we appreciate our bodies and taking care of them makes us feel good!
The fitness industry profits big off fear-based selling: don’t eat that, don’t do that, you aren’t enough - and we are here to encourage everyone to start demanding more from their gyms and from their coaches.
