How to Join Squat with Squaddies in Quakertown

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 15:03:48 GMT

Squat with Squaddies is Relentless Iron’s community workout and food-drive event on Friday, November 13, from 6:30–8:00 PM. Members can bring a friend or full crew to move, lift, meet the community, and support a local Quakertown food pantry with at least one food donation per person.

Why should you join Squat with Squaddies?

Friday nights are better when they have a purpose. Squat with Squaddies is designed to make training social, welcoming, and meaningful—whether you have trained at Relentless Iron for years or have never visited before.

This event gives you a chance to:

Bring a friend, neighbor, coworker, or family member
Experience the energy of a real strength-and-conditioning gym
Move and lift in a supportive group setting
Meet other Relentless Iron members
Give back to the Quakertown community

You do not need to be an experienced lifter to participate. The goal is not to compete against everyone else in the room. It is to show up, work together, and enjoy an evening built around movement and community.

What happens at the event?

Squat with Squaddies takes place at Relentless Iron on Friday, November 13, from 6:30–8:00 PM. The evening centers on moving, lifting, and connecting with the people who make the gym feel like a training home.

Expect an upbeat environment where members and guests can get active without pressure. If you are bringing someone who is curious about Relentless Iron, this is an easy way for them to meet the community and see how the gym operates.

The event is also an opportunity to experience the values behind the gym: consistent effort, genuine accountability, and encouragement for people at different stages of their fitness journey. Learn more about the gym’s training options on the Programs page, or review the Schedule before planning your visit.

Who can attend Squat with Squaddies?

Every Relentless Iron member is encouraged to attend and bring a friend—or a whole squad. Guests who have been curious about the gym are especially welcome.

This event can be a good fit for:

Adults returning to exercise after time away
People over 40 looking for a supportive strength community
Friends who want a more active Friday night
New lifters who want to train in a welcoming environment
Experienced members who enjoy helping others get started

You do not have to arrive with a large group. Bringing one person is enough, and coming on your own is also perfectly fine. The community atmosphere is built to help people connect naturally.

A comfortable starting point for adults over 40

Starting—or restarting—strength training can feel intimidating, especially if you assume everyone else is more experienced. A community event changes that dynamic. You can meet people, ask questions, and participate at a pace that feels appropriate for you.

Strength training can support everyday goals such as carrying groceries, getting up and down comfortably, keeping up with family, and staying active for the long term. Squat with Squaddies is not about proving yourself. It is about taking one positive step with people who want to see you succeed.

What should you bring?

The most important things to bring are yourself, a willingness to participate, and at least one food pantry donation per person. Wear comfortable workout clothes and shoes suitable for a gym setting.

A simple checklist:

Comfortable training clothes
Supportive athletic shoes
Water
At least one food donation per person
A friend or squad, if you would like company

If you are unsure what to bring or have questions before attending, use the Contact Us page to reach Relentless Iron. You can also review the FAQ for general information about the gym.

How does the food pantry donation work?

Admission to Squat with Squaddies is at least one food pantry donation per person. Your contribution helps support a Quakertown food pantry while making it possible to take part in a positive community event.

Think of it as a simple exchange: bring something useful for local neighbors, then spend the evening moving and connecting with your own community. Every contribution matters, whether you attend alone or bring a full group.

If several people are coming together, encourage each person to bring a donation. That small request can add up quickly and help make the event’s impact even greater.

Why bring a friend to Relentless Iron?

Many people are interested in strength training but hesitate to walk into a gym alone. Inviting someone to Squat with Squaddies removes some of that uncertainty. They can arrive with a familiar face, meet other members, and get a feel for the environment without needing to commit to anything immediately.

A guest may be looking for:

A more personal alternative to a crowded commercial gym
Coaching and structure instead of guessing what to do
A community that values consistency
A way to become stronger for everyday life
A welcoming place to begin or restart training

Relentless Iron serves athletes and everyday warriors in Quakertown. The focus is on practical progress, hard work, and a community that helps people stay accountable. If your friend wants to learn more after the event, they can explore Get Started , Pricing , or Drop Ins .

What if I am new to strength training?

You can still attend. Squat with Squaddies is a community-focused event, not a test of how much weight you can lift. New participants should focus on learning, moving safely, and enjoying the experience.

Let the coaches and experienced members know if you are new. Ask questions when you need help, choose an appropriate challenge, and avoid comparing your first workout with someone else’s long-term progress.

The best first step is simply showing up. You can always build confidence over time through consistent training and guidance.

Make it a Friday night tradition

A strong community is built through repeated moments of showing up. One evening can introduce someone to the gym, but continued participation is what turns a first visit into a lasting habit.

Bring the people you care about, support a local cause, and spend your Friday night doing something that leaves you feeling better than when you arrived.

7 New Ways to Train at Our Quakertown Gym

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 17:48:23 GMT

A Quakertown gym should make it easy to train with purpose, recover well, and find a program that fits your life. Relentless Iron now offers new HYROX and DEKA opportunities, weekday homeschool PE, expanded recovery options, updated classes, family-friendly open gym access, and current training specials for local members.

What’s new at Relentless Iron?

Relentless Iron is adding more ways for adults, athletes, parents, and families to train in Quakertown. These updates are designed to support different goals: preparing for a fitness event, improving athletic performance, creating a consistent weekly routine, recovering after hard sessions, or simply making open gym more welcoming for the whole family.

Here are the seven biggest updates:

A new HYROX Sim event on the 26th
A Spartan DEKA Mile event on October 4
A weekday homeschool PE class
A private wellness room with a hybrid sauna and cold plunge
A TV on the HYROX side for the daily workout
An updated class schedule
Free guest access for kids training with open gym members, plus new training specials

How can you prepare for the HYROX Sim event?

Our new HYROX Sim event takes place on the 26th from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. It gives members an opportunity to experience the demands of HYROX-style training in a structured gym environment. Whether you are preparing for competition or testing your current conditioning, the event offers a practical way to challenge your strength, stamina, pacing, and determination.

A HYROX-style session typically combines functional movements with running or conditioning efforts. The key is not simply moving fast. Participants must manage effort, maintain technique, and continue working when fatigue builds.

To prepare, focus on:

Building a steady aerobic base through consistent conditioning
Practicing functional movements with safe, repeatable technique
Learning to pace the early stages instead of starting too aggressively
Combining strength and conditioning in the same weekly plan
Arriving rested, hydrated, and ready to follow event instructions

Check the schedule for current class times and contact the gym with questions about event participation, preparation, or access.

What is the Spartan DEKA Mile event?

The Spartan DEKA Mile event is scheduled for October 4. It is another opportunity to test your fitness through a combination of movement, conditioning, and mental toughness. DEKA-style challenges reward athletes who can stay composed, transition efficiently, and keep working through a demanding sequence.

You do not need to be an elite athlete to benefit from event-focused training. A challenge can help you establish a goal, measure progress, and make workouts more engaging. It can also create accountability when you train alongside other members.

Before the event, consider asking a coach about:

Which movements you should prioritize
How often to train at higher intensity
How to balance event preparation with strength work
What modifications may be appropriate for your experience level
How to approach warm-ups, recovery, and pacing

If you are new to this type of training, start where you are. Consistent preparation and good movement quality matter more than trying to prove yourself in every workout.

Who can join the homeschool PE class?

Relentless Iron now offers a homeschool PE class Monday through Friday at 9:30 a.m. This gives homeschool families a consistent weekday opportunity to make movement, physical education, and structured activity part of the school routine.

A regular PE class can help children build coordination, confidence, strength, balance, and teamwork. It also gives young people a positive environment where they can learn how to move safely and enjoy being active.

Parents can review the programs page or reach out through Contact Us for the latest details, enrollment information, and questions about age groups or class availability.

Recovery Room and wellness upgrades

The private wellness room is now up and running with a hybrid sauna and cold plunge room. This gives members a more private setting to support recovery and create a deliberate post-training routine.

Heat and cold experiences may feel demanding, so use them responsibly and follow posted guidance. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, take medication, or are unsure whether sauna or cold exposure is appropriate for you, consult a qualified healthcare professional before participating.

A thoughtful recovery routine can include:

Cooling down gradually after training
Replacing fluids after a demanding workout
Eating enough to support your activity level
Prioritizing consistent sleep
Using the wellness room according to gym guidance

The wellness room is a complement to sound training habits, not a replacement for them. Learn more about available recovery options on the Recovery Room page.

What does the new HYROX TV add?

A TV has been installed on the HYROX side of the gym for the daily workout. This makes it easier for members to see the day’s training focus and stay connected to the workout flow while using that area.

Clear workout visibility can make a busy training space easier to navigate. It can also help members arrive with a better understanding of the session, especially when they are working through a challenging conditioning circuit or using shared equipment.

For the most current workout information, class details, and times, review the Schedule page before visiting.

Find the right class schedule for your goals

The new class schedule is now posted. An updated schedule makes it easier to choose training times that fit your workday, family responsibilities, school routine, and recovery needs.

When comparing classes, think about your primary goal:

Strength: Build foundational force and improve lifting technique.
Conditioning: Increase stamina and prepare for demanding event formats.
Athletic development: Improve speed, agility, coordination, and explosiveness.
General fitness: Create a balanced routine you can maintain.
Recovery: Support your body between harder training sessions.

You do not need to select the hardest class to make progress. The best schedule is one you can follow consistently while still allowing time to recover. If you are unsure where to begin, use Get Started to connect with the next step.

Can kids train with open gym members?

Yes. Kids are now free to come as a guest when they are working out with open gym members. This update gives families more flexibility and makes it easier for parents and children to share time in a positive training environment.

Parents and guardians remain responsible for understanding gym policies, supervision expectations, and any age or safety requirements. Before bringing a guest, confirm the current guidelines with the Relentless Iron team.

Family participation can help children see exercise as a normal part of life. It can also give adults a chance to model consistency, effort, and healthy habits. For younger athletes interested in more structured coaching, ask about the gym’s youth athletic development and Speed & Agility opportunities.

Where can you find the new training specials?

New training specials have been posted on the Relentless Iron website and app. Specials can change, so review the current offer details, eligibility, dates, and enrollment requirements before making a decision.

The Pricing page is a useful place to compare membership information, while the Get Started page can help you identify the best next step. You can also check the app for the most convenient way to review available options.

If you are comparing a class membership, open gym access, event preparation, youth training, or recovery options, consider both price and fit. The right choice should match your goals, schedule, experience, and preferred level of coaching.

Relentless Iron Is Moving: A New Chapter for Our Quakertown Gym

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 19:17:00 GMT

We’ve been keeping a secret… and it’s finally time to share it.
Relentless Iron is moving!

This next chapter marks a huge milestone for our gym, our coaches, and the community that has been with us since day one. Before we tell you where we’re headed, we want to take a moment to reflect on where it all began—and why this move means so much.

From a Two-Car Garage to a Community-Driven Gym

If you’ve been with us long enough, you might remember when Relentless Iron was known as Alexo Fitness . It started humbly in a two-car garage attached to our house in Quakertown, PA. No man door. No mats. Just a squat rack, some dumbbells, and a strong belief in building a community of gym-goers who felt confident, capable, and supported.

We made every inch count. We added a man door, laid down horse mats, capped classes at 8–10 people (because… two-car garage), trained at local parks, got kicked off the track, introduced the infamous “death bike,” and kept pushing forward. What we lacked in space, we made up for with grit, structure, and connection.

That foundation is still the heart of Relentless Iron today.

Taking the Leap: Opening Our First Facility

Then came the opportunity to move into our first official space at 585—and it couldn’t have come at a more chaotic time.

We were in the middle of renovating our home, preparing to welcome our third child, and Alex was deep into prep for a bodybuilding competition. It would have been easy to say “not now.” Instead, after a lot of conversations (and one very honest talk with a trusted businessman, client, and now friend), we said yes.

Yes to juggling two young kids.
Yes to finishing a kitchen.
Yes to having a baby.
Yes to stepping on stage.
Yes to opening a gym.

Relentless Iron officially opened its doors on June 1st, 2023 , and everything since then has been built on that same relentless mindset.

The Next Move: Bigger, Better, and Built for the Future

Now, with the lease signed and construction plans underway, we’re excited to officially announce our next move.

Starting June 1st, 2026, you’ll find Relentless Iron at:

If you’re local, you might know it as part of the old Bon Ton—or, if you go way back, the former Richland Mall. Either way, this new space allows us to give our members what they’ve been asking for:

Better parking
Brand-new bathrooms
Higher ceilings
More than double the space
More class times
More events
More room for strength training, HYROX-style training, and youth athlete development

This move isn’t just about square footage—it’s about creating a better training experience for everyone who walks through our doors.

What’s Next for Relentless Iron Gym?

This transition has just begun, and we’ll be sharing updates throughout the process as construction moves forward. Expect behind-the-scenes looks, timeline updates, and sneak peeks of what’s coming next.

Be sure to follow along on our website and Facebook page so you don’t miss a thing.

Thank you for being part of our journey—from a garage gym to a full-scale strength and conditioning facility in Quakertown.

No matter where we train, the mission stays the same.

Stay strong. Stay committed. Always #StayRelentless.
