Jason Rodgers
I was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. I attended Belmont University to study Commercial Vocal Performance, before transferring to University of Memphis to major in Music Business. Before starting at the University of Memphis, I had a semester off where my fitness journey began. My best friend strong armed me into joining a local gym for a 4 week challenge. Much to my surprise, at the time, I fell in love with it. I worked there for a year, and during that time saw a full physical, and mental, transformation. When the owner approached me about training to become a coach, I couldn’t say no! Since then, I have received a Crossfit Level 1 and Level 2 certification, a USAW Level 1 Certification, and Personal Training and Corrective Exercise Certifications from NASM. My true passion in fitness is helping others to find a path towards living their life the way they want to, without the burden of pain, or physical limitation. Outside of coaching, I am a musician. I am a professional vocalist, a keyboard hobbyist, and songwriter. I also love to cook, and, on weekends, play some incredibly mediocre golf.
Ashley Johnson
I was born and raised in New Jersey and graduated from Montclair State University in 2010. I have lived in NyC for the last 13 years before I moved to Nashville. I started my fitness journey in 2016 when I competed in my first bikini competition. Since then, I got my NASM CPT certification and I have been helping others achieve their fitness goals for the past 5 years. Training clients and seeing their transformations is my passion. Being able to share in their progress and success with my clients as we work together to improve their strength, cardiovascular fitness, and overall wellbeing is truly something I cherish and enjoy! When I’m not in the gym, I’m cooking up something delicious or at the beach/pool sunbathing!
BELLE MEADE MANAGER
Justin Borden
Originally from Philadelphia but spent my college days in South Jersey where I obtained my degree in Health and Exercise Science. I spent most of my life playing football and basketball and after being undersized my entire childhood it led me to pursuing a career in fitness.
My background started in collegiate strength in conditioning where I spent 4 seasons with various D1 universities. Certification wise I hold 2 different Strength and Conditioning Certs, FMS Level 1, and Precision Nutrition Level 1.
Outside of work I’m passionate about music playing drums, guitar, and a little bit of piano. I also love enjoy golfing, being around good friends, or taking my two golden retrievers on an outdoor adventure. Favorite food is always a tough one but id have to say it’s hard for me to turn down Edleys BBQ in Sylvan!
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 the 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.
