What is iron Moon?
Iron Moon is the product of my own health and fitness journey. I never felt that I fit in with the typical gym rat type, so I forged my own way. I realized that I inspired others and really enjoyed helping people realize their strength. Iron Moon is about providing options and breaking down barriers that you didn't know exist. Fitness doesn't always have to require a gym membership or equipment. I serve the client and strive to create a personal and meaningful fitness experience outside of the cookie cutter commercial gym setting. Iron Moon provides fitness and coaching solutions that work for You!
(Iron Moon is also the name of a dope Chelsea Wolfe song and what you can achieve if you take your glute training very seriously!)
About Me
My fitness journey began in 2019 when I began to take my health more seriously. I quit smoking and began exercising regularly. It wasn't long before I discovered I liked lifting. Heavy. Like really heavy. I had a hard time finding anyone locally who taught powerlifting, so I taught and coached myself while I created my own garage gym. My efforts created a very successful amateur powerlifter and I entered into several powerlifting meets. I placed well and achieved a handful of state records and even a national squat record. Eventually some people took notice and I was put in touch with a local coach who specializes in strength sports, Ron Wilson, owner of Iron Barn Gym. He helped improve my lifting techniques and introduced me to Strongman. I was welcomed and embraced by the seemingly secret underground community of all the strongest people in Montana...
​
During all this I realized lifting and fitness was more than a hobby for me and I wanted to help others, so I became a certified personal trainer. But that wasn't enough. I wanted to be an expert in human performance so I returned to school to major in exercise science. All this combined with my eight year career in the medical field as a Tissue Recovery Specialist has helped make me an expert in kinesiology and anatomy. I guarantee you no other personal trainer has as much hands on experience with the human musculoskeletal system like I do! I have extensive gross anatomy and dissection experience which give me a unique understanding of human tissues.
​
In 2022 I finally felt the call to take the risk and leave my career behind and Iron Moon Fitness & Coaching was born. You can find me training and coaching in my private fitness studio and at Levels Training Centre in Billings, MT. I am happy to partner with Levels Training Centre because it supports Billings youth!
Empower
I can say without a doubt that lifting weights and getting stronger was the most empowering thing I have ever done for myself. As my strength grew, so did my confidence. It allowed me to come out of my shell a little more and pursue other interests such as performing, singing and dancing. I developed a growth mindset that allows me to keep improving and learning new things both in and out of they gym. These are the keys to lifelong success and progress! My dream is to help you achieve the same.
​
I believe fitness is a unique and personal experience. It should reflect your interests and passions and inspire you to keep progressing. Nobody wants to grind through a cookie cutter program or pointless workouts. Your fitness experience should be exciting and meaningful. Our bodies were made to move and do incredible things. I hope to inspire others to create a rewarding and lifelong practice
