Patrick Thomas

Patrick Thomas is the founder and Owner of Ironside Training. What started as a small dream to build individuals into better athletes has grown into a full blown nationally recognized strength gym located here in Portland, OR. Patrick is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, USPA Certified Powerlifting Coach, and has a BA in Psychology & Sociology from University of Portland.

Patrick’s singular passion to bring people together in powerlifting has built a community of athletes who all strive to lift one another up via the pursuit of strength. He has brought many clients from general fitness beginnings to the highly competitive powerlifting stage at USAPL Nationals events in 2018 & 2019. Ironside stands out as a major team in powerlifting due largely to the vision and endless drive Patrick has for himself and his team.
