History
Established in 2013.
Coaches and co-founders Jim Ward and Sara Zollars opened what is now Iron Athlete in a small, 3rd floor warehouse in North Wales, PA in January 2013. With strength and conditioning training as our focus, we trained athletes and teams and provided classes and private training to adults. Primarily through the proverbial "blood, sweat and tears" and a ton of personal referrals from happy clients, we grew into our current location at 646 E. Main where we continue to provide unparalleled strength training instruction to athletes, teams, high schools, and our male and female members along with General Membership options which offer access to our unique and rich training culture, and our hard to find athletic, body building, powerlifting and Olympic lifting equipment.
Meet the Business Owner: Sara Z.
I am former collegiate Division I volleyball player who earned a B.S. degree from Purdue University after growing up playing on a nationally ranked high school team. My passion for health and fitness and the psychology of creating a winning sport culture inspired me to become a Certified Personal Trainer through the American College of Sports Medicine and a Level 1 Sports Performance Coach through USA Weightlifting. Opening and running Iron Athlete combines my education, youth experience and passion for helping people become better both mentally and physically.
