#055 - Iron and Mortar Summit

Ashley, Brendon, and OPEX CEO Jim Crowell discuss the third annual educational event for mirco gym owners. The Iron + Mortar Summit will feature six incredible speakers including both Jim Crowell and James FitzGerald from OPEX Fitness.

BIO:

Brenden and Ashley Loyer are a husband and wife team that are both co-founders of the Iron + Mortar Summit, as well as owners of the Iron + Mortar, the gym. In 2017, they had a dream to open a gym, but they had a thirst for business education from diverse perspectives, however, it just was not out there, and it was out of this frustration that the Iron + Mortar summit was born. Soon after, in December of 2017, taking all the principles and guidelines from their business education event, Iron + Mortar, the gym, was created.

The Summit is now going on its third year in late June of this year with its most impressive lineup to date and an exciting new city to host, and the gym has enjoyed a successful first year of business in Yakima, Washington.
