​About Ironworks Performance

​

Ironworks Performance was built to give athletes a competitive edge—providing the tools, coaching, and environment needed to take their game to the next level. Our mission is simple: build bigger, faster, and stronger athletes while developing confident, disciplined competitors on and off the field.

Our team is made up of high-level Performance Coaches, former athletes who understand what it takes to win, and professionals dedicated to the long-term development of every athlete we serve. At Ironworks, coaching is more than running sessions—it’s leadership, mentorship, and impact.

We are committed to investing in our coaches through continued education, industry-leading earning potential, and a culture driven by excellence. Our goal is not only to build elite athletes, but to build the best performance coaching staff in the state.

Position Overview

​

The Ironworks Performance Coach is a 1099 independent contractor position responsible for delivering elite training experiences while building meaningful, long-term relationships with athletes and their families.
