Our story

Built by Eugene Tenai
Ironside Gym was founded by Eugene Tenai, a coach who believes real fitness starts with strength, discipline, and proper training.
Eugene leads training across strength training, bodybuilding, and general fitness, ensuring every member — beginner or experienced — trains safely and effectively.
