Feature: Iron + Mortar
Imagine our sheer delight when we recently were introduced to the team at Iron + Mortar: Brendan and Ashley Loyer (husband and wife owners), and Layci Nelson (general manager and nutrition coach).
While it’s past New Year’s Resolution time, it’s never too late to find ways to move our bodies. Finding the right place to help you do that can be daunting. Brendan and Ashley opened Iron + Mortar in 2017 with a dedication to helping anyone who walks through their door realize their potential and improve their quality of life. They are a hybrid functional fitness facility that offers CrossFit classes, personal training, and individual program design -- from nutrition to customized fitness goals.
Why do we heart them? Well, first of all, their gym is impeccable. It’s clean, it’s warm, it’s kid-friendly, and it’s – dare we say – beautiful. Scrolled in giant letters on the wall: "Better in here, great out there."
And they heart Yakima. The Loyers wax poetic about why they decided to stay long-term. Amongst their reasons: our “beautiful landscape, the food and beverage scene, and the diverse people of Yakima that come from all walks of life,” says Ashley.
Stay tuned for a big, collaborative effort they will be announcing soon (think Memorial Day weekend). We share the ethos that collaboration is the cornerstone to anything that is successful, and an integral part of making our community better together.
Iron + Mortar, we have a crush on you!
