Celebrating 5 Years of Transforming Fitness and Wellness in Warwick

Ironside Industry is much more than your average gym. This November, the innovative fitness and wellness hub celebrates its 5th anniversary, marking five years of transforming not just bodies, but lives.

Founded by Diba & Ben Heinrich, Ironside Industry has become a cornerstone of the Warwick community, bringing together world-class fitness equipment, holistic recovery services, and an atmosphere that feels more like a family than a gym. As they prepare to celebrate this milestone, it’s clear that Ironside Industry is a place where fitness, wellness, and social connection come together seamlessly.

Ironside Industry was born out of a simple yet powerful vision: to create a space where everyone feels welcome. “My goal was to build an inclusive place to train and socialise,” shares Diba, “A space where people feel safe, supported, and part of a community.” Bringing some of the world’s top gym equipment brands to Warwick was an ambitious start, but it was the idea of creating a unique, holistic wellness experience that has set Ironside Industry apart from the beginning.

Ironside Industry was never just about physical fitness. “We’ve always believed that fitness and recovery go hand in hand,” says Diba. That belief is evident in every corner of Ironside Industry, where gym-goers can find not only a space to train but also recovery rooms offering saunas, ice baths, flotation tanks, and even hot yoga.

The journey hasn’t always been smooth. Just three months after opening, Ironside Industry faced the unprecedented challenge of the COVID-19 shutdown. But rather than seeing this as a setback, Diba found creative solutions to keep the community engaged, renting out gym equipment to members and keeping the supplement shop open. “The support from the community during that time was incredible, and it reminded me why I started this journey in the first place,” she recalls.

With the support of friends and family, Ironside Industry reopened stronger than ever, expanding its offerings year after year. In addition to the state-of-the-art fitness facilities, members can now enjoy holistic recovery services, including saunas, an ice bath, compression boots, and even a masseuse on-site. Most recently, Ironside introduced reformer Pilates classes, further enhancing its diverse range of fitness options.

What truly sets Ironside Industry apart is its dedication to creating a community. “We’re not just a gym—we’re a family,” explains Diba. “I wanted to build a place where people could not only improve their physical health but also their mental and emotional well-being.” This holistic approach to fitness and wellness has resonated deeply with members, many of whom see Ironside as their second home.

As Ironside celebrates its 5th birthday this November, Diba reflects on the journey with immense pride. “Building something from the ground up has been one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of my life,” she shares. Looking ahead, Diba has big plans for the future, with hopes of expanding services even further and continuing to provide a space where the community can thrive.

“Fitness is a lifelong journey, and we’re proud to be a part of that for so many people,” says Diba. “We’re committed to growing and evolving, just like our members.”

Ironside Industry invites the community to join them in celebrating this exciting milestone. Whether you’re a seasoned fitness enthusiast or just starting your journey, Ironside offers something for everyone— from cutting-edge gym equipment to recovery and wellness services that nurture both body and mind.
