Sinead D., IronPlate Bride, Not-so-American Woman!

Sinead D., came to IronPlate a few months before heading off to her Motherland of Ireland to get hitched to her Down Under Groom.  Sinead, an amazing and natural athlete and yogi, pulled it together and has been a delight to train.  We still get the pleasure of training  Sinead post-wedding and honeymoon, and all during the build out of her latest project (name to be disclosed only by her!), a fantastic NYC Yoga Studio to be launched in 2015.  

Sinead embodies what every bride does – great definition, leanness and feminine athleticism!  We heart you, girl!  

IronPlate torturess completes first Tough Mudder!

Throwing a big shout-out to IronPlate Trainer/Torturess, Caitlin Harrington, for completing her first ever Tough Mudder this past weekend in Upstate, NY. Going in worried she might not come out, Caitlin killed it with ease and is now excited to put together Team IronPlate for 2015 (and even I’m scared!).  Congratulations Cait for being a fit beast, and inspiring the rest of us at IronPlate to do our best and KICK ASS!

Best bridal biceps ever: IronPlate bridge Danielle R!

We work with a lot of brides.  A lot of really great brides.  But this girl takes the proverbial wedding cake.  Best transformation to date with a body that was stage ready.  Danielle R., kicked it into high gear 3x/week at IronPlate for months training like a body builder, ate clean (and complained the whole way through), but the results and hard work shows!  

Best of luck to Danielle and her new life!  XO

We are growing!

IronPlate Studios is excited to announce that we have moved to a bigger and better home at studio C408 at the Monroe Center.

Now with TWO private training studios, a private nutrition counseling office, changing station and waiting nook, we are bigger and better than ever!

Stay tuned for more offers, news and exciting details of our new digs (as well as details on our Grand Opening Party) and by all means, email us at info@ironplatestudios.com for more information or to book your first session or consult.

JK, Newly hitched and throwing us a little LOVE here at Iron Plate!

What can I say, I have a soft spot for JK since I’ve been working with her and her man, MC, on and off for years now.  When she came to me and said she was getting MARRIED, I almost dropped a kettlebell on my head, but hey, I was up for the task.  One of the most hard working, never satisfied (in a good way) and un-bride-like ladies I know, we had a great time kicking la derriere in the studio.

And the best part of my job is getting a photo like this…  makes it all worthwhile!  Mwah!

COLBY: Getting down to business for Wedding Day!

Colby came to me almost a year ago with big goals of looking amazing for her August 10, 2013 Wedding Day, and just like that, it’s here!  With a lot of blood, sweat, breaks and tears she killed it in the gym and her kitchen and is now 6 days out of walking down the aisle (with her super nice fiance who joined us periodically for some butt-kicking!).  Not only is she walking away with a great husband, but she is walking away with a wealth of knowledge on proper nutrition, meal prep and training which will last her a lifetime – though I do anticipate more questions from her in the future :)  Best of luck, Colby! 

XOXO,
Iron Plate Studios

IRON PLATE: What does it mean?

In June 2011, the Food Pyramid was sent on it’s merry way and with it came the start of the new MyPlate; a simpler way to be more mindful in the foods that we choose.  Here at IronPlate Studios, we are a group of personal trainers AND Registered Dietitians (and Sports Dietitians / CSSD) that believe in combining strength/weight training and “training hard” (the Iron in IronPlate) with proper food choices and “clean eating” (and the Plate in IronPlate).   We believe it’s a synergistic mesh between the two that gets people the results they want; a lean, tight physique, a healthy weight and a strategy for a healthful life.
