How It All Started
Back in 2018, I was training out of a cramped warehouse with flickering lights and equipment held together with duct tape. But you know what? That place had more heart than most fancy gyms I'd ever seen. Every punch, every lift meant something.
After years of bouncing between traditional gyms that felt more like country clubs than training grounds, I knew there had to be a better way. Somewhere that respected both the grind and the craft. A place where you could throw down heavy weights without someone complaining about the noise.
The Basement Days
Started training small groups in a warehouse space. Just barbells, mats, and people who wanted to work.
Gaining Ground
Word spread. Fighters, lifters, regular folks wanting real results - they all showed up. We outgrew that basement fast.
The Bastion Opens
Found this industrial space on Industrial Avenue - felt like destiny. Built it from scratch with our own hands.
Still Standing Strong
Three years in and we're just getting started. Our crew has grown but the mission stays the same.
Iron Veil Bastion isn't about Instagram poses or protein shake selfies. It's about putting in real work with real people who get it. Come see for yourself.
