It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ruth A. Robinson who had been the oldest member of the House of Iron Gym. Ruth passed just shy of her 100th birthday and will always be remembered as a joyful person with a youthful mindset. Ruth made it clear that you are never too old to start weight training to improve your overall health and vitality.
