Business Spotlight: Unrivaled Iron Gym
Frederick’s New Home for Strength, Community, and Growth
Blake Bomberger and Marc George turned their shared dream into reality when they officially launched Unrivaled Iron Gym. Established in 2022, the gym opened its doors on December 2, 2023, after nearly a year of dedicated planning and preparation. Located in the thriving East Church community of Frederick, Unrivaled Iron Gym is more than just a fitness facility – it’s a welcoming space for everyone from athletes to first-time lifters.
The Vision Behind the Gym
As lifelong bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts, Blake and Marc brought their complementary experiences to the table: Marc owns Total Athlete Nutrition, a supplement store in Columbia, while Blake has spent the past five years coaching athletes and lifestyle clients both online and in person. Together, they hand-selected every piece of equipment for the gym, combining old-school charm with modern functionality to create a space optimized for performance and growth.
The gym’s philosophy is simple: hard work and community go hand in hand. Whether you’re training for a competition or starting your fitness journey, you’ll find a supportive, family-like environment at Unrivaled.
Why Frederick?
Blake and Marc were drawn to Frederick’s vibrant and growing community. The East Church location offered the perfect opportunity to build their vision in a neighborhood that feels like home. With its inviting vibe, Unrivaled has become a go-to gym for local residents, offering a refreshing alternative to corporate fitness centers.
What Sets Unrivaled Apart
Unrivaled Iron Gym prides itself on its high-quality, specialized equipment and its tight-knit community. “From our staff and trainers to Marc and me as owners, we make it a priority to welcome every member and create a relaxed, community-like feel,” says Blake.
The gym is constantly evolving to meet the needs of its members. Plans are already underway to expand the facility by an additional 5,600 square feet of gym space and 8,000 square feet of office space, which will soon house Premier Stretch and Massage, Hanson Physical Therapy, MidAtlantic Chiro, and the upcoming Unrivaled Supplement Center.
Fun Facts and Local Favorites
When it comes to community connections, Blake and Marc have plenty of stories to share – including the time they personally loaded over 100 pieces of equipment by hand in Arkansas to bring their dream gym to life.
And if you’re looking for them outside the gym? They’re likely grabbing coffee and breakfast sandwiches at their favorite local spot, Frederick Coffee Co.
