Don't want to be too emotional here on the internet but have to share how important Iron and Mettle and coach Emmi have been to me these past few months. I'm rapidly meeting my health and fitness goals, despite all sorts of chronic pain issues, all because of Emmi's incredible encouragement, guidance and support. It's also so rare to find such a women-focused weight lifting space, I didn't realize what a difference that environment would make for my training progress!
I have discovered the absolute best trainer at the fabulous Iron and Mettle gym. Taryn is terrific! Thoughtful in her preparation, always checking in on my goals to help tailor-make the best private and semi-private sessions, Taryn keeps me laughing yet very focused at the same time! And before I know it I’m accomplishing physical feats I never thought possible. Taryn’s expertise along with her huge heart is what makes her strength training sessions so remarkable. I highly recommend Taryn to anyone who wants to set goals and see results! She’s the best!
I love the vibe at Iron & Mettle, which is focuses on strength in community. On top of that, Taryn Estébez is an incredible trainer who is relentlessly attentive and positive. Her smart and customized approach to working out has me both feeling stronger AND looking forward to coming to work out. I could not be happier.
Taryn & the staff at Iron & Mettle are fantastic - i came to strength training intimidated by the equipment and a strong awareness that there are more ways to move wrong than move right with lifting heavy. Danielle (the owner) immediately made me feel safe, welcomed, and seen - and matched me to the perfect trainer for my work. Taryn (my trainer, coach, and cheerleader all in one!) has tailored my personal program exactly right for my body and personality - bringing knowledge, adaptive wisdom, enthusiasm and care, all while pushing me to excel in a progressive overload program. i'm stronger and healthier - and as a bonus? the vibe in the studio is unmatched..
Iron and Mettle is hands-down the best gym I've ever joined. It completely eliminates the "gym intimidation" factor and replaces it with a genuinely welcoming and supportive community. The coaches are world-class, with an incredible focus on proper form and safety. My trainer, Emmi, was phenomenal at building my confidence and getting me back to lifting heavy. This amazing vibe comes from the top down—the owner, Danielle, personally checks in to ensure you're having a great experience, which is a rare and appreciated touch. I tell all my friends who are nervous about lifting to sign up for the intro pack. If you want to get strong in a positive and motivating space, this is it!
