There’s More That Connects Us Than Divides Us

Sony

Owner & Coach — Iron Battalion CrossFit | General Manager — Gym Love

I’m thrilled to be part of this amazing combined gym community. After building Iron Battalion CrossFit in Los Angeles in 2014, I traded city hustle for mountain muscle and fell in love with Tahoe’s breathtaking scenery. Now I’m here to bring energy, expertise, and a whole lot of fun to your workouts.

My mission is simple: to change lives through movement and help people discover how incredible it feels to improve their energy, mobility, and overall quality of life. Expect more laughs than lunges and more high energy than a triple espresso — paired with coaching that delivers real results.

Our History

Heather

I love being a Gym Love staff member where my passion for fitness and amazing community come together! I will always choose the power clean as my favorite movement, but wall balls have a special place in my heart. Outside of the gym, I love to keep active playing spikeball and pickleball. I love snowboarding and surfing and am always looking for my next adventure.

My favorite cheat meal: chocolate chip cookies

Lucas

My name is Lucas Bowser and I’m here for the energy, community, and the kind of workouts that leave you feeling healthy and alive. When I’m not at the gym, you’ll find me out in the trails biking, snowboarding, or finding any excuse to be in the mountains. I may not be here coaching, but I’m always around to help, connect, and keep things moving!

Favorite dessert: Strawberries and peanut butter with ice cream

Our History

Grace

Hey Im Grace and  I’m happiest with a snowboard strapped to my feet, a passport in my hand, or bringing my creative visions to life. I guarantee you will find me grabbing the first chair on pow days, planning my next international trip or covered in an assortment of paint, glue, and other craft supplies!  

Favorite cheat meal : PIZZA
