Today we’re celebrating two people we care about so much. Congratulations to Kristin Zolton and Johnny Zolton on your marriage!

Watching you two together, it’s easy to see how much love, respect, and joy you bring into each other’s lives. We’re incredibly happy that you found one another, and we couldn’t be more excited to see you begin this new chapter as husband and wife.

Kristin, your kindness, smile, and heart make Iron Benders a better place every day. Johnny, we’re just as thankful to know you and to have you as part of our gym family too.

We wish you both a lifetime of laughter, adventure, unwavering love, and all the happiness you deserve. Thank you for letting us be a small part of your journey. We love you both and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs.! 🥂💍❤️

❄️ Huge shout-out to our amazing community! ❄️

We are beyond grateful for the people who make Iron Benders Fitness & Nutrition what it is.

First, a big round of applause for Bart Ellison and Don Miller 👏
These two didn’t wait for excuses — they grabbed our newest piece of fat-burning equipment (also known as… the shovel 😄) and got to work clearing snow so our members could get in safely.

And to top it off, Bart Ellison even jumped in a Bobcat and really went to work clearing out parking spots, making it possible for even more members to park and train safely. That’s next-level community support.

We also want to give a huge thank-you to City Councilman Pat Kirchner for coming out and clearing the sidewalks with his snow blower, and to Simeon for putting in the work with a shovel to help keep the area safe and accessible.

And thank you to our city leadership and street department for declaring a snow emergency and getting the plows out quickly. Because of that, the streets were cleared, parking was available, and sidewalks were accessible in front of the gym.

This gym is more than a place to work out. It’s people showing up, helping each other, and taking pride in our town. And we couldn’t be more proud of ours. 🖤
