strength training workouts designed for women and delivered straight to your living room

I am so glad I found Iron + Mettle! I love going to a gym that focuses on empowering women through strength training! I wish there was more of that in the world. You have a really special community and i'm so glad the studio is so close to my house!

After my first workout I felt SO GOOD i couldn't wait to sign up for the next session!

I can't believe I can deadlift something that is 150lbs. Iron + Mettle is the real deal - grateful for this amazing gym and its amazing coaches!

I can’t believe we’ve almost hit 100 workouts!! I firmly feel like you’re the best trainer I’ve ever had. Every time you show us an exercise, it’s as if you’re showing us the first time and you really care about making sure we get the exercise right. A lot of my past trainers would just assume we know how to do it or not pay attention but you’re approach is incredibly motivational and allows us to focus on a new aspect of our form. It feels totally different. Thank you so much for taking us in as clients. It was the best decision we made in 2021

Before I started training with you, I had worked out with a few different trainers in the past- none of whom I felt I saw amazing results with. A few months prior to meeting you, I had started to learn to deadlift and squat at home, but again wasn't super serious about it, nor did I particularly enjoy it. I always felt intimidated by the bar and scared of the weight, thinking my size was a limiting factor, which now after working out with you for more than a year I know is nowhere near the case!

I really enjoyed being able to have dual sessions - sharing the pain with a friend was really enjoyable, and I never felt as though I wasn't still getting the same level of personal attention or work done.

I was hoping I'd find someone who was a good personality fit (you were!), who would hear my thoughts/concerns and help adjust as necessary (you did!), and who would strike the balance between pushing my limits and supporting me where I was (you did!)

In the last year I had setbacks, I had moments when I wasn't truly committed to my practice, I had many cheat days, and lots of excuses. Danielle got to the emotional core of my set backs. She inspires me to believe in myself. Damn it, I'm in tears as I write this because now I LOVE my fitness practice. I don't see it as a chore. I see it as a major component of my self care routine.

You have been such a positive influence in my life- and I feel so strong and truly empowered with the strength I am gaining in my work with you. I appreciate that you never make me feel small or like a failure if I can't do something. Even though I am still struggling to put the weight on, I never feel judged or like I'm doing something wrong and all of your guidance and advice on ways to deal with all aspects of my well-being have been more helpful than I can express. Thank you for being the person that finally got me to love weight lifting!

I love the confidence I've gained from training with you. I no longer feel intimidated or scared of the bar and of lifting heavy weight. Instead, I feel empowered knowing that I can do it! I've constantly surprised myself throughout this journey so far and you have been so instrumental in that. Your entire approach is so positive and encouraging and I love how you continually challenge me, and push me in a way that keeps me motivated and excited. You understand my body type and don't ever make me feel like I'm in a one-size-fits all program, which is often how I felt with prior personal trainers. It's amazing to see new muscles develop and to continually surprise myself when I lift more than I thought was possible, or set a new PR. I now truly believe that being petite is not a limitation or reason to be intimidated, and you have helped me to see that!
