WHO WE ARE -
OUR STORY
The Iron Village is a family-run gym built from a shared love of fitness, hard work, and community. The vision began with Luke Elder, whose passion for training grew through years in law enforcement, competition, and a commitment to staying active.
What started as his dream has since become a full family effort.
Today, The Iron Village is owned and operated by Luke, his wife, Ashlinn, and his younger brother, Hunter. Luke brings his experience and dedication to helping members grow stronger and more confident. Ashlinn contributes her expertise in graphic design and marketing and is often found on-site, making sure the gym feels welcoming, organized, and connected. Hunter adds his own energy and support, helping maintain the positive, family-oriented atmosphere the gym is known for.
Together, they’ve created a space where members aren’t just clients, they’re part of the family. The Iron Village is built on genuine care, personal connection, and a shared belief that everyone deserves a place to pursue their goals with encouragement and support.
Luke Elder and Aaron Carter were law enforcement officers who have a serious passion for fitness. Both have been in various types of competitions since high school.
Because of their serious passion for fitness, they have decided to pursue their dream of being gym owners and share their love of fitness and wellness.
