The Iron Compound

I’d highly recommend The Iron Compound to anyone looking to get some high quality training from a knowledgeable staff. Matt trained me a year or so ago and he is a terrific trainer who really knows what he is talking about. He will push you, but not in a forceful «Biggest Loser» kind of way, but he won’t baby you either. He strikes a great balance between too much and too easy on you, and is very professional. I would encourage anyone looking to get high-​quality training and increase their physical knowledge to take their business to The Iron Compound.

It’s hard to find a really good trainer. About three years ago, I felt like I’d peaked in my ability to manage my own fitness. I lifelong runner and long time «gym attendee», I wasn’t in terrible shape but I needed to be motivated and trained by someone who saw it as more than «a job». I was fortunate to find Matt and have been under his tutelage now for almost three full years. I now drive from Modesto to Turlock for training, even though there seem to be hundreds of trainers in Modesto, because the quality of training and level of professionalism makes the trip worthwhile. The recent gym expansion and addition of even more equipment for weight training and boot-​camp activities makes this a super destination. The camaraderie and motivation are amazing. If you’re looking for a solid, professional and results-​oriented training experience, I encourage you to contact Matt or Tanner.

I’ve been an athlete all my life and I felt like I needed a new challenge. When I started with Tanner’s boot camps, I didn’t know what to expect. Originally I thought «bootcamp» was for women only but he proved me wrong. I’ve worked out with Tanner and Matt for the last few years and during that time I’ve lost 25 lbs and gained about 15lbs of muscle. Not only that, but his regular workouts helped heal a pain I’ve had in my knee and lower back for a number of years.
This gym has everything you need to meet your fitness goals without all the useless equipment. Great place, great vibe, and great trainers. Check em out, you won’t regret it!

I started training with Tanner 5 years ago and since knowing him there is no way I could ever get my butt kicked by anyone else. With their own facility, they have been able to provide so many more options for their clients. Workouts at the Compound are tough, hardcore, fast-​paced, and Matt and Tanner will push you to be the best version of YOU!
When I got into grad school, I had a hard time balancing keeping up with reading AND going to the gym. It was easy to decompress with a beer at the end of the day. Before I knew it, I was 159 lbs, the most I had EVER weighed (and I’m 5’1). I was not happy, something needed to change. I went back to Tanner with full time training, got a nutrition plan from Matt a few months later, and now I have almost reached a 30 lb weight loss goal! I am stronger physically and mentally, and the support and encouragement from The Iron Compound community has gotten me where I need to be in my life.

Hands down two of THE BEST trainers in Turlock.
Matt & Tanner have been in the fitness industry for a long time! Personalizing in 1 on 1 training, group classes, bodybuilding prep, and posing practice. Special nutrition planning, as well as body measurements. They both have played a HUGE part in my weight loss and will be forever in debt.
