About
An Iron Gym.
For Iron People.
Ironhouse was built because Denver didn't have a serious strength facility. Not a box gym, not a CrossFit affiliate — a real iron house.
The Story
Built on the
Principle That
Training Is Serious.
Ironhouse opened in 2018because the gym didn't exist yet. Head coach Ramos Delgado had spent a decade training athletes at facilities that were either too commercial or too boutique — places where serious athletes had to work around the equipment, the crowd, or the culture.
So he built the one he wanted. 17,000 square feet on Industry Way in Denver's RiNo district. 14 squat racks. Five Olympic platforms. A turf lane. Specialty bars most gyms don't bother stocking. And a head coaching staff of three who actually compete in their disciplines.
Ironhouse now has 800+members ranging from first-time lifters to national-level competitors. The common thread: they're here to actually get stronger. Not to take photos. Not to check a box. To put weight on the bar week after week and build something real.
If that sounds like you — the door is open.

What We Stand For
The Culture
No Excuses Culture
We don't build perfect conditions — we train in the ones we have. The environment mirrors the discipline we expect from ourselves.
Coaching Is Non-Negotiable
Open gym doesn't mean unsupervised. Coaches are on the floor during all open hours — not hiding in the office.
Community That Competes
Members here compete — in powerlifting meets, Olympic lifting competitions, obstacle races. We celebrate that. It raises the standard for everyone.
Equipment That Works
We spend money on barbells, not TVs. Every piece of equipment is selected for performance, not aesthetics.
Coaching Staff
Coaches Who
Compete.
Every coach on our staff is an active athlete in their discipline. They don't just teach — they do it.
Ramos Delgado
Head Coach — Strength & Conditioning
CSCS, USAW Level 2
Ramos has been coaching strength and conditioning for 11 years — first in collegiate athletics, then at two of Denver's top training facilities before founding Ironhouse. His programming philosophy: progressive overload, patient technique work, and zero tolerance for half-reps. He competes in masters powerlifting and coaches athletes from complete beginners to national qualifiers.
Keiko Tanaka
Olympic Lifting Coach
USAW Level 2, Former National Competitor
Keiko competed at the national level for eight years before transitioning to coaching. She's obsessed with the technical precision of the snatch and clean & jerk — and has a reputation for fixing movement faults that other coaches can't see. Her beginner onboarding is the clearest intro to Olympic lifting you'll find in Denver.
Marcus Webb
Group Classes & Hybrid Conditioning
NSCA-CPT, CrossFit L2
Marcus coaches group classes and the Hybrid Conditioning program. He's the reason members show up at 5:30 AM — his sessions are hard, his cuing is sharp, and his energy is never fake. Before Ironhouse he spent four years running GPP programming for a competitive functional fitness team.
