Iron Kids is a dynamic strength and conditioning program designed for children ages 8–12. This program empowers kids to build strong bodies and confident minds through age-appropriate training, foundational movement skills, and positive peer support—all while learning the value of progress over perfection.

Rooted in the "1% Better" philosophy, Iron Kids encourages young athletes to focus on steady, daily growth—not just physically, but in mindset, effort, and teamwork. Whether they’re new to fitness or building on existing skills, every session is an opportunity to take a small but meaningful step forward.
