We love the "Hip Airplane" movement and all its variations. It's a great accessory exercise we program here often.

Set up can be a bit confusing so have a listen to coach break it down for us.

We don’t train just to get better at the gym. We train so life outside of these gym walls feels a bit easier.

- So carrying groceries takes one trip
- So picking up your kids isn’t a struggle
- So yard work, travel, hobbies - and everything else life offers - don’t slow you down.

Strength isn’t just about how much weight you can lift. It’s about building a body that’s capable, resilient, and prepared.

After years of being an important part of the Iron Village coaching team, Jon is stepping away to focus more of his time on his career as a firefighter.

We’re incredibly grateful for everything he’s brought to IV - the energy, knowledge, laughs, and countless hours spent helping our members become stronger and better.

While we’re going to miss having him on the floor with his coaching hat on, he'll still be here as a member crushing deadlifts...and curls.

Thank you, Jon, for everything you’ve given to Iron Village. You’ll always be part of the Village family.

Coach Nick taking Doug through the:

'Banded Shoulder Eccentric External Rotation' movement

We are trying to isolate the shoulder and work on rotation of that joint. By pinning the tricep to the rig, we essentially lock down the upper arm and just get movement from the shoulder.

We start by driving the band down until we are parallel with the floor. Then, staying in control, allow the band to pull us back into external rotation. Go back to your end range, get that stretch in that position, and then drive the band back down.

Slow and always in control.

This movement is a staple in our current cycle, which we are coupling with our upper body strength movement.

Our Core Values:

CONNECTION — Build relationships. Support each other. Be part of something bigger.

CONSISTENCY — Keep showing up. Put in the work. Repeated effort, over time, creates results.

CULTURE — Work hard, have fun, and make the people around you better.

TRAIN FOR LIFE — We’re not just training for today. We’re building strength, and the capability for everything life brings our way.
