No two people are the same! Therefore, no two people move the same.
"His legs are shorter. Her Torso is longer. He taped his ankles playing basketball in college. She had rotator cuff repair and a c-section. His elbows cannot lock out. Her hips are dysplastic.
So what does this mean?
Without the personalized approach, let's look at a scenario many other gyms take with the example of Squats. From the examples above, one should do step-ups instead of squats, another should do box squats, and another would benefit more from lunges instead of squats.
This isn't modifying, or scaling. These aren't lesser movements, with the back squat being the king.
This is individualizing. This is understanding you so well, we can provide you with what YOU NEED!
You shouldn't be forced into a "one size fits all" approach.
Honestly, we used to do this too. We didn't know then what we know now.
But we observed, learned, and changed to better at what we do to help people just like YOU!
Our mission is to build better humans through the EDUCATION of HEALTH & MOVEMENT!
We'll help you learn what you need, to feel the best you ever have. WE ARE DIFFERENT! We are professionals. We are the healthcare providers of the future!

who
we are and why we care
We [Cheri and Andrea] founded Element 26 Fitness, LLC home of FeRRUM Athletic Company, in 2012.
Our primary purpose was to bring functional fitness into the Julington Creek area of Jacksonville. With no other type of fitness facility in the area, our original thoughts were that nobody would show up. Nine months after opening, we were in need of our first expansion.
Through the years, we have experienced both personal and professional growth. We have recently built a new, studio style gym in the heart of Mandarin. This new location is built on premier personal experience for the coach/client journey.
Our focus is on the continual education of ourselves and our staff, for the betterment of YOU, our clientele. The vision is to build better humans by educating, empowering, and enriching the coach while they guide, value, and educate the client, leading to improved longevity for all.
When caring for others is the top priority, a fitness professional never spends a day working in their entire life.
"I started with Ferrum in September and was doing personal training so I could get one on one training with someone experienced in working with someone with pain. I had back surgery several years ago and live with it daily. Cheri was awesome in the beginning, she knew exactly how much to push me to make me stronger. I now work with Lydia who is also fantastic, and have also started doing to group classes a couple of days a week, which I love. I have never been stronger or more confident in my new body. I love this gym, it feels like a family. I HIGHLY recommend it if you are looking for something different, something that will actually work, and coaches that care and will encourage you."
"My wife and I got off the couch walked into Ferrum Athletic Co over a year ago. Well, maybe Stefanie walked in and she dragged me in kicking and screaming a month or so later. We were both over weight and in real bad shape physically. It was intimidating to get started to say the least but they gave us 1:1 training to start and now we go to classes 4-5 days per week. Now we are much healthier and feel so much better physically and mentally. I couldn’t ask for a better gym and support staff! I highly recommend Ferrum!"
"If someone had told me “You’d benefit greatly from a functional fitness workout”, I would have laughed. Here I am, having worked with Sean and Cheri for ten months! I’m toned and stronger than I’ve ever been, despite being 61 years old. Sean got me started at a pace I was comfortable with; he gave me faith in myself. Cheri has driven me to complete workouts specifically designed for functional fitness that work muscles I didn’t know I had. She really listens to my feedback as to what feels uncomfortable, diagnoses what the root cause is and gives me movements to work through it and become stronger. Weight loss is not a key to better health, strength is. I’ve lost only 5 pounds, but wear a size smaller than when I started this journey. I feel great – physically and mentally. I actually said “I don’t mind coming here” the other day when I came to the gym! Never thought I’d speak those words about a workout."
"Can’t rave enough about this gym! The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. Everyone (coaches & attendees alike) are encouraging and want to help each other be the best versions of themselves. I love that the focus is on fitness and longevity - not who can move the most amount of weight around or do crazy movements. I also love the comprehensive approach they take. You start off with a coach one-on-one to make sure you can safely move to group classes, or if you prefer you can stay one-on-one. The whole health concept with nutrition coaches on staff as well as wellness coaches really rounds out the gym. Their desire to see people succeed is evident in who they employ, how they program and how they interact with their clients. If you’re looking for a place to start and not feel overwhelmed or out of place - this is the right fit!"
