01The brief

Strength boxes win on intensity and community, but most of their sites are dim photo galleries that bury the one thing a visitor wants: how to book a first session. Ironclad wanted a site as bold as their floor — oversized type, zero fluff — that captures the free-intro lead at any hour and turns it into a paying member without a phone call.

02What we built
  • 12-page marketing site — programs, coaches, on-ramp, pricing, results, schedule, blog.
  • Class schedule + booking — live timetable, capacity limits, waitlists, and free intro-session capture.
  • Membership checkout via Stripe — monthly memberships, drop-in packs, and CRM-sent pay-links.
  • 4 free tools — 1-rep-max calculator, macro/calorie estimator, body-fat estimator, membership cost comparison.
  • Coach profiles — credentials, specialties, and a "train with" booking link per coach.
  • Challenge & program sign-ups — 6-week strength challenge intake with automated onboarding.
  • 24/7 AI assistant trained on the box's real programs, schedule and pricing.
  • Member dashboard + 12-module admin CRM — leads, members, classes, payments, messaging, automations, content, reviews, reports, chatbot inbox.
  • Automated follow-ups + review automation — intro reminders, no-show win-backs, post-session review requests (email + SMS).
The design — “Barbell brutalist

Loud and uncompromising: near-black canvas, oversized condensed display type with an electric-lime hard shadow, and blocky volt-yellow tags. The look of a floor that means business. Full light + dark.
