Not your average gym. Not a bootcamp.

Train outdoors.
Lift awkward things.
Get stronger.
Meet good people.

At Iron Acre Gym we’re building real-world strength on a working farm just outside Ipswich.

Hard work, fresh air and a community that wants to see you improve.

✅ Beginner friendly
✅ All fitness levels welcome
✅ Small group coaching
✅ Outdoor training year-round

YOUR GYM WOULD NEVER PROGRAM THIS.

80kg sandbag. 75kg bodyweight.

This isn’t a random challenge, it’s part of the programming.

At Iron Acre, we train outside, use awkward loads and push each other to do things we wouldn’t necessarily do alone.

The difference is the people.

Everyone gets behind each other. You get pushed, encouraged and challenged
