Cameron Cooper
I am from Malvern, Arkansas. I’m into fitness because it allows me to creatively release stress and I enjoy the science behind it. Outside of work, I love going to the park with my family and dog tossing the frisbee. My favorite food is a piping hot plate of lasagna! I have an Exercise Science degree as well as several certifications including: nutritionist, corrective exercise specialist, CSCS, and Health Coaching.
Chris Marquardt Jr.
Hailing from Normal IL, Coach Chris Marquardt has been involved in a variety of athletics and fitness since he was a child. Coach Chris fell in love with fitness as an outlet for healthier living and enjoys being able to impart change on others through exercise. He enjoys collecting vinyl records, playing guitar and being outdoorsy in his free time. His favorite food is pizza (only on occasion!) and studied Kinesiology at Illinois State University. He has certifications with NASM as a Certified Personal Trainer and Precision Nutrition Level 1
Newton Kellogg
Hailing from Fort Worth, Texas, Newton has been passionate about fitness since his teenage years, sparked by a Walmart pull-up bar that ignited his love for strength training. Yes, that is really all it took! Outside of the gym, he enjoys playing music in Nashville and spending time with his wife and baby boy. Newton loves burgers above all other foods and is searching for the world’s best one (someone has to do it). Newton went to CBU for his Bachelor’s in Kinesiology, received a certification with NASM as a Certified Personal Trainer, and is dedicated to helping others transform their lives through fitness.
BRENTWOOD MANAGER
James Hedgis
I am originally from Rome, Ga but have lived throughout all parts of Georgia and spent some time in Colorado. I got into fitness to help people move more often, eat better, and find a fun community.
While not in the gym I enjoy time with my wife and two dogs. I love all Mediterranean food but especially gyros! I have a Master of Divinity, Master of Theology, Ph.D. in Hebrew Bible ABD, ISSA Personal Trainer, TRX Certified, and Precision Nutrition Level 1 certification.
I am passionate about helping people change their lives and for me a fitness community is a great place to do that.
FRANCHISE OWNER
Jamie Warren
My Iron Tribe journey started in 2009 when Forrest Walden--the Founder and CEO of the brand--invited me to workout in his garage. I'd never experienced that kind of camaraderie, fun and results from fitness ever before. My wife joined me, we both got hooked and were founding members when the first Iron Tribe location opened in 2010. I got passionate about the business side of Iron Tribe after learning about the initial franchise concept. Being a very happy client, I knew it worked. I believed in it so much, I sold my previous marketing agency in 2014 to devote my full-time effort to expanding Iron Tribe to the Greater Nashville area.
The last 10 years have been an amazing ride as we've impacted thousands of lives through five fitness communities. I'm most proud of our talented team who've become seasoned leaders in delivering an awesome experience for our clients. My wife and have been married for more than 25 years and are the proud parents of three sons (and a golden retriever). Outside of work, I enjoy being active in the outdoors, music and serving in ministry.
