I am seeking to build a network of Christian friendly gyms, personal trainers, health professionals providers and other businesses around the USA and beyond, which Christianiron readers can reach out to for their various needs.
You will also find Sports organizations of various types that are also Christ-centered.
If you are such a provider or know of a good one, please contact me so I can add you(or them) to our list at
I will provide links where applicable, but not all of these will have websites, so I will
provide any available info in that case.
