Iron Village

Iron Village Iron Village is a strength & conditioning facility located north of Boston in Beverly, MA.

Our focus is functional and sport-specific training for both athletes and non-athletes alike in an environment that is both supportive, and challenging. It is built upon an ethos of hard work, a willingness to suffer, and commitment to overcoming self-imposed limitations. Strength, both physical and psychological, will result for those committed to completing the work we set forth.

Geez I ramble a lot! Sorry about that.

The goal was to "briefly" chat about our current program happening here at IV.

If you don't feel like listening to me for 8 minutes (I'll tighten these up!) here's a breakdown:
Monday - hip hinge, press, lunges, hip mobility
Tuesday - zone 2-3 recovery focus
Wednesday - pullups, squats, rows, short high-intensity cardio
Thursday - zone 2-3
Friday - partner "fun"

Another option --> come on in and try out a class!!

The moral of the story; have a plan. Stop going to the gym and just going through the motions on the same 3 machines you use every time you are there. Follow a results-driven, periodized program that pushes you towards your goals.

In our programming, we typically have short, HIGH effort outputs (6 to 15 seconds) once a week.

Every now and then, we go off script and throw a 60-second "all out" effort in.

What does a "HIGH effort" output look like? Enter exhibit A...Liam.

We have a Challenge Board at the gym and this is the shortest one on there. It's also the most miserable, if done properly.

Liam did it properly.

The record before this recording was 58 cals. After Liam finished...it's now 69! 🤯

Hey - we know you've got a 50-cal challenge...got a 60-second one as well??

- you're up.

Hell of an effort Liam! Even Mozzie was impressed 😂😂

A 2 days/week Strength Training For Runners

Strength training is one of the most powerful tools a runner can use to improve performance and stay healthy. By building stronger muscles, tendons, and connective tissue, runners improve force production with every stride — meaning more speed, better efficiency, and less wasted energy. A well-designed strength program enhances hip stability, core control, and single-leg balance, all of which translate directly to smoother, more powerful running mechanics.

Beyond performance, strength training significantly reduces injury risk. Stronger glutes, hamstrings, calves, and core muscles help absorb impact, protect the knees and hips, and improve alignment under fatigue. Instead of breaking down as mileage increases, your body becomes more resilient. The result? You run faster, recover better, and stay consistent — which is ultimately what leads to long-term progress.

Our 6-week program will improve your running.

Our anniversary trivia was a nailbiter this year...two people got all 10 questions correct which means it came down to the tiebreaker.

And the winner for 2026 is....Brett!!


We ask a handful of questions every year on our anniversary. We keep a couple "staple" questions (Security manager, origin story...) and some of the answers are amazing.

The top wrong answer regarding the Iron Village origin story goes to
"Growing up, Doug wanted to be a blacksmith"

Thanks to everyone who participated! I plan to make next year's questions bigger, better, and more challenging!

Do you find yourself going to the gym and doing the same 3-4 machines every time you're there?

Or, just hopping on the treadmill or bike because the equipment you love is being used?

Or walking into the gym without a plan on what to do?

If only there was a place that took care of all of that for you...🤔

We prioritize three primary components when it comes to our programming;
1. Strength training
2. Conditioning
3. Mobility

The programming is broken up into 6-week blocks where we track numbers and monitor progress. Measurement equals motivation.

We use "template-based" programming when it comes to our planning. If we have the "Deadlift" exercise on the board, we don't push everyone into the same exercise. We suggest everyone perform some sort of hip hinge pattern...that could be:
- Conventional straight bar
- Sumo stance
- Trap bar
- RDL variations with bells, bands, or a bar
- Glute drive machine
- Bridge pattern off the floor

The results will come. If you do.

Establish some goals. Show up and put in the work. Good things will happen.

Happy anniversary IV!! Number 11!! Cheers to us!!

We opened our doors with one goal: create a place where hard work and support coexist. Goal achieved.

Iron Village is the definition of community. It’s early mornings, high-fives after hard bike sprints, and people showing up on days they didn’t feel like it. The equipment matters. The programming matters. But the people are everything. Thank you to every member who has walked through our doors and made this place what it is.

Let's continue to be a supportive community that works hard, encourages others, and has fun. The positive culture we've created here is only going to help us grow in 2026!

*OUR ANNIVERSARY INSPIRED WORKOUT IS FRIDAY 2/20!

Let's play - 2016...

As we enter our 11th year (yikes!), it's fun to look back and reflect on what we've accomplished. It's truly impressive.

We are all so lucky and blessed to be a part of this amazing group of people. Many of whom are still in here getting after it today.

I look forward to posting 2026 pics in the year 2036 and, hopefully, saying the same things.

Onward.
