From AFL club gyms to your backyard

Inside the Iron Edge and SaltPods partnership 

“Iron Edge have been fitting out AFL clubs for years, including some of the ones we played and coached at ourselves. We needed a partner whose standards for equipment quality live up to our own. Iron Edge ticked these boxes.” 

 

Introducing SaltPods   

SaltPods is a collaborative partnership between SALT Australia, a pioneer of integrated fitness, wellness and human performance technology and Elsewhere Pods, Australia's leading eco-tourism manufacturer. And Iron Edge. Because their premium pods demand serious strength training equipment. 

 

SaltPods offer training and recovery pods that easily transform any space into a premium facility, without the need for costly renovations. 

 

“Throughout our careers in professional sport (as both players and coaches), we had unlimited, daily access to some of Australia’s best high-performance strength, conditioning and recovery facilities. Our mission at SaltPods is to bring the facilities we had access to as professional athletes to the general public,” says Harry Simington, Co-Founder & CEO of SALT, “we created SaltPods because we identified a gap in the market. There were no easy end-to-end fitness and wellness solution that stacked up with our high-performance standards.” 

 

 

 

 

High-end home gyms, made flexible  

“Before SaltPods, if you wanted a premium home-gym then you would need to either renovate a spare bedroom or build an entirely new (very expensive) structure. Neither option is easy,” says Harry, “the Modular SaltPods system gives you both complete flexibility and the luxury of a beautifully designed, high-performance wellness hub.” 

 

Offering a complete turnkey solution, SaltPods manage every step of the process from conceptual design to equipment selection, support with any permits required and installation management. Working closely with Iron Edge, they support the customer to find their ideal pod configuration and training set-up. 

 

“Iron Edge integrate serious strength training equipment into our pods. When you buy a SaltPod, you benefit from Iron Edge's years of experience manufacturing premium gym equipment and fitting out facilities for elite athletes. We customise the equipment and the footprint based on your individual training needs.” 

 

 

 

The ideal performance partner 

Harry reached out to Iron Edge after using the equipment himself “Iron Edge have been fitting out AFL clubs for years, including some of the ones we played and coached at ourselves. We needed a modular strength and conditioning system that could be adapted to match each unique SaltPod design. We needed a partner whose standards for equipment quality live up to our own. A partner who understood our identity. Iron Edge ticked these boxes.”  

“Partnering with SaltPods just made sense. They bring elite-level facilities to everyday people. We’ve been doing that for elite sporting teams and high-performance set-ups for years,” says Dylan Bickley, Senior Sales Manager at Iron Edge, “it felt like two businesses solving the same problem from different angles.” 

 

 

 

The SaltPod customer 

SaltPod users differ in need, but align in values. They’re all serious about staying physically and mentally strong.  

“We envisage the person stepping into a SaltPod as someone who cares about their long term health, and the health of their family,” says Harry, ‘whether it's a slow evening sauna to reset the nervous system, a backyard Hyrox workout or a pre-game primer session - they understand that daily habits build the foundations for success.”
