The Next Move of God Won’t Start in a Church — It’ll Start in a Gym.
The Iron Forge Affiliate Program is a first-of-its-kind movement for gym owners and entrepreneurs who refuse to separate faith from fitness. If you’ve ever felt the call to start a Christian gym — or to turn your existing gym into a ministry that strengthens both bodies and souls — this is your moment.
We are already opening 12 new Iron Forge gyms at the beginning of 2026, and we’re releasing 10 additional affiliate spots for the remainder of 2026.
we are in revival
People are tired of compromise — and God is raising up builders who will make Jesus Lord over everything they create.
The marketplace is the new mission field,
and the gym is the front line.
Every day, men and women walk through your doors searching for confidence, purpose, and hope.
What if they found Christ instead?
The Iron Forge Affiliate Program was created for those who hear the whisper:
“It’s time to build My Kingdom in your city.”
