No before-and-after photos and no miracle claims — just members describing what consistent, coached training changed for them.
+90 lb
Deadlift in six months

“I started at 135 and couldn't keep my back straight. At testing day I pulled 225 — with the whole class cheering.”
I'd done classes at big-box gyms for years and never really got stronger. The first thing Marcus did was slow everything down and teach me to brace.
Six months later I hit a number I never thought I'd see. What surprised me more was how much better my back feels sitting at a desk all day.

Sessions a week, every week since 2023

“No crash diet. Three sessions a week and Dana's habit checklist. My doctor asked what I'd changed.”
I started with private sessions because I was nervous about keeping up. After four months I moved into small groups and haven't missed a week since.
The structure is what works for me. I know exactly what I'm doing and why.

First strict pull-up, at 52
Maria C.
Performance · member since 2024
“I'd never been in a gym in my life. Lena had me doing my first real pull-up before my 53rd birthday.”
Walking in the first day was the hardest part. Nobody made me feel out of place — Lena treated my first goblet squat like it mattered, because it did.
Now I'm the one telling new members it's going to be fine.
Full season
Injury-free for the first time in four years

“I play senior AAA hockey. Athlete Lab is the first program that made me faster without beating me up.”
Every off-season I used to train hard and arrive at camp exhausted. Marcus planned my blocks around the schedule instead of against it.

My favourite hour of the week
“I train mostly on my own with the app program, and the coaches still know my name and my numbers.”

Back to running
After knee surgery
“My physio cleared me; IRONHOUSE rebuilt me. Twice a week with Lena, and I ran my first 10K this spring.”
