About Marcus
Marcus played semi-pro rugby for eight seasons before a shoulder injury pushed him into coaching. Rebuilding his own strength taught him the thing he now tells every new member: technique first, load second, consistency always.
He opened Ironhouse in 2016 with two racks and a borrowed sound system. Today he leads a team of nine coaches and still takes the 6am Strength Foundations class three times a week.
Nobody remembers the heaviest lift they missed. They remember the day they showed up when they didn't feel like it.
