Where it all started

.

Ironberg started in 2015 by Australian Exercise Scientist Daniel Malmberg as a vehicle to deliver premium performance coaching for people who want to reach their true potential in performance and in life… No matter where they are.

There’s many fads and methods. But few grounded principles to get you where you need to be. Ironberg is here to tie it all together.

"Getting to work with D-berg has been a game-changer. He has educated me so much about food, training, and mindset. He has so much knowledge and patience. To find a trainer is easy but find someone like Dberg who is going to guide you and educate you at the same time that's something special"

I've been coached by Dan for nearly 4 years now. In that time I have continually made solid gains across all my training whilst remaining injury free. He understands my line of work and programs in a way that makes me perform better not only in the gym but doing my day to day duties at work.

4 pillars for success

BLOG

Mindset

The often overlooked part of making progress for long-term gains. But it is the key cornerstone for success in all protocols. Your mindset is the bedrock when it comes to making progress long term in any endeavor and the reason why you do or do not succeed is often due to your thoughts. The mental performance coaching protocols we use are foundational to help you achieve your objectives.

Progression

What you measure you can manage. The problem with most people that stops them from reaching their goals is that they simply don’t track their progress. The tracking of progress & measuring metrics is key if you want to reach your potential.

Training

The training protocols used by Ironberg are all evidence-based and stress-tested to ensure maximal results and progression. We provide the right workout for you and your needs and every workout leads to the next to get you to your best self.

Nutrition

Food is the fuel for your performance. Without the right fuel mixture in the right quantities and good quality, you are hamstringing your progress.
