Hey Iron Soul I don’t know you but I know you’re better than your most expensive competition and I’d love to try and steer some business your way and save the community some money.

ABQ gymfolk: DO NOT do business with the cheats and crooks at Sports and Wellness if you dislike being robbed. I signed up for a membership with a training package. The trainers were disorganized and unprofessional, the air conditioning was out for most of the summer(!), and when I repeatedly tried to cancel, they continued to bill me membership and late fees because I hadn’t canceled in person at the location I had signed on at, despite them never having mentioned this requirement and me informing them multiple times that I could no longer reach that location due to giving up my car bc insurance was too high and them saying they’d happily accommodate that. Eventually they caved and just let me cancel over the phone- and sent the fraudulent $500 balance to collections. I asked as a condition of that that I never be contacted by them again. Just today they started spamming my cell number again, despite being informed repeatedly beforehand that such solicitation would be harassment.

Sports and Wellness is a cesspool of greed and dishonesty, a loan shark tank in the shape of a fitness center. They’re harder to cancel on than CenturyLink, and almost as ethical as a pyramid scheme. If this pandemic bankrupts the entire organization, it will likely be the first time either Sports and Wellness or covid-19 has made our community better off financially. Please go out of business, asap, if that’s what it takes for you to treat your clientele like people and not payouts.

You’d get a better overall workout experience with better customer service by getting arrested and sentenced to roadwork as community service. Fortunately there are middle options like Iron Soul. Maybe if I had gone there, I’d have another $500 to spend on training, possibly even under air-conditioning.

This is a phenomenal opportunity to learn from some of the absolute best in the business!
They’ll be at the Iron Soul Gym June 7th.

Who wants to go?

Just throwing it out that Bryce, Josh Yu, and Parker will be doing their max effort lifts tomorrow morning at THE BAR in preparation for their upcoming USPA nationally qualifying meet at the Iron Soul Gym in Albuquerque March 1st.
These guys have worked their butts off & I couldn't be more proud of them.
If anyone would like to show up it'd be fun to give them an upbeat atmosphere tomorrow as they set their numbers for next month.
Totally understand if you can’t make it, but If you can, come bring some energy for them!
8am at THE BAR 💪🏽🇺🇸

BioPark Parent Spotlight!

We want to shout out a local ABQ business owner and a group of his gym members who came together to support ABQ BioPark gorillas in a BIG way!

Eric owns Iron Soul Gym and is a proud zoo donor and BioPark Parent to the western lowland gorillas at the Zoo, but he wanted to do more. So Eric offered up a free month of membership to anyone who became a gorilla BioPark Parent, and altogether, his gym brought in 43 new gorilla sponsorships and a total of $1,400!

Thank you to Eric and Iron Soul Gym members for taking care of our local gorillas - you're making the exceptional possible at the ABQ BioPark.

One of our own has passed suddenly due a medical condition. I just got off the phone with his mom. That was hard. Dillon was a great kid. Young. Happy. In the prime of his life. He was at this gym every damn morning I can remember for the last few years, about as long back as I can remember. Never had a bad word to say about anyone. Never left a single thing out of place. Worked reeeal damn hard and was just pleasant to be around and happy to be there. It’s a sad loss. If anyone can make it to his life celebration, I’m sure his family would appreciate it.

07/06/2022

Winning isn’t everything but it’s cooler than losing. Thanks for bringing this home @armijomayra and @ironsoulbaddies! Thanks for the good time @micah_marino and everyone at @fightorquitco

07/05/2022

This has been lost on so many people, largely due to social media. Live your life on your terms without the need for external validation. You only go ‘round once. Don’t waste it staging photos and videos to impress people that only care about their own s**t anyway.

@armijomayra @ironsoulbaddies team showed up and dominated today in their meet in Las Vegas, NV at the @thewrpf 2022 Bad Bi***es Only Powerlifting Competition !

Proud of all our lifters, coaches, supporters, family, and friends who made today possible in so many ways.

This is the beginning of something unique and special to our beautiful state of New Mexico !

I cannot stress this enough. The (by far) number one thing I see needing correction, almost universally, is poor head position in the squat and deadlift. We saw it over and over again at the recent seminar and I’ve been squawking about it for years now. It matters. It matters a great deal. Not only for breathing as coach @mad_scientist_duffin mentions here, but just for plain old transference of force into the bar! People just don’t apply maximal force directly into the the dang bar and wonder why it’s not moving so well. Stack and pack the neck. Align your spine. Get a hold of yourself!

06/04/2022

PSA: the gym will be closed for training from 10am-1pm for a special event!
Come through to the @ironsoulbaddies Powerlifting Basics Seminar. This event is open to everyone, all athletes from beginners to advance lifters wanting to learn more information about squat, bench, and deadlift. This is the place to be tomorrow if you have questions about wanting to compete in upcoming powerlifting competitions. There will be certified strength coaches and experienced lifters who have competed in several meets. The raffle will also be conducted at the end of the event. Hope to see you all here!
