About | Iron Republic Fitness

The Beginning

How It Started

Iron Republic was founded in 2019 by Jake Morrison and Sarah Blackwell, two competitive CrossFit athletes who were tired of training in gyms that treated programming as an afterthought.

They leased a 12,000 square foot warehouse in the Ironworks District, filled it with Rogue equipment, and opened the doors with one rule: every workout has a purpose.

What started as a small group of 30 members has grown into a community of over 300 athletes. From first-timers learning their first pull-up to regional competitors chasing podium finishes, Iron Republic is where people come to do real work.
