Some of the business and organizations I highly recommend:

Online Training:

Cruse Complete Fitness now offers online training! If you cannot come to the Cedar Rapids area, I can bring my training to the convenience of your smart phone using the equipment you already have access to! Click here for more details! 

Fitness Training Education:

ISSA is a leader Fitness Training Education as an organization that offers an accredited degree program as well as a certification program. I have had a great experience working with them and, if you are interested in creating a career in fitness training or even just want to gain knowledge for your own physical training, click here for more details!

Home and Commercial Fitness Equipment:

Westside Barbell. Everyone who has studied anything about getting stronger has come across the name Westside Barbell, or at least, Louie Simmons. These men and women have set an incredible number of world records in power lifting and continue to do so. 

Strongergrip is one of the best kept secrets in strength and fitness training! Ryan Pitts custom makes incredible equipment for not only grip strength, but mobility and overall strength development! Click here for more information! (I just picked up some of his creations and they are awesome!)  

Brute Force is a manufacturer of high quality, long lasting sandbags that can be used for almost anything! I, for one, love sandbag training! Click here now for more information!

Rehab and Prehab:

One of the more often overlooked aspects of fitness is rehabilitation from training and injuries and avoiding injuries to begin with. A few local businesses I recommend for this are:

Care Chiropractic (Dr. Sean is an athlete himself)

Healthy Dining and Food Options

Egg Whites International For clean, low calorie protein, egg whites are hard to beat! Tell them Ian Cruse sent you!

New Pioneer Food Coop Locally run, locally grown food options including Fair Trade, Organic, Grass Fed Meats, and Non-GMO certified foods. Great options and open to the public!

Ice Shaker is a company that makes shakers and portable liquid containers that keep ice frozen for 36 hours!
