Iron House Gym was built on a simple belief: fitness should be accessible, empowering, and fun. Founded by Lisa Corkren, the gym began with a passion for helping others live healthier lives and a willingness to take a leap of faith to make it happen.

Lisa grew up in South Florida with a love for activity and adventure, from racing motorcycles to playing sports. Her journey into strength training began in her early twenties while working out at Gold's Gym during her time at University of Alabama. That experience sparked a lifelong love for lifting and the community built through fitness.

While working as a nurse and raising three children, Lisa found herself helping young mothers in her community who wanted to get healthy but couldn’t afford gym memberships. Wanting to create a place where everyone could feel welcome and supported, she took a bold step—selling her house and moving with her children into the gym she was building.

Iron House Gym first opened in a small 1,500-square-foot space on Howard Street in Spartanburg. What began as a humble facility and free boot camps for the community has grown into an 18,000-square-foot training environment offering strength training, strongman equipment, classes, and a community that feels like family.

Today, Iron House Gym continues to grow with the same mission it started with: creating a place where people of all backgrounds can train, challenge themselves, and enjoy the journey of getting stronger together.
