Iron + Oven is a chef-driven, high-protein meal subscription built for people who push weight, chase progress, and don’t have time to live in the kitchen.
Launching soon in the Milwaukee area. Be one of the first to lock in founding-member pricing and gym pickup.
Most meal prep companies are either bland, under-proteined, or cooked by people who don’t live in the gym. Iron + Oven is chef-owned, lifter-built, and unapologetically performance-first.
Led by an executive chef with years in hotel and restaurant kitchens, every menu is engineered for flavor first, macros second. You get crispy edges, roasted vegetables, real sauces – not dry chicken and sad broccoli.
Our target guest is already tracking protein and time under tension. We publish macros, keep ingredients clean, and build meals that actually match how lifters eat – not just what looks good on Instagram.
Iron + Oven was created so Jake could be present for his kids, his health, and his relationships – not buried in a restaurant. That same philosophy shapes your experience: flexible plans, no contracts, and food that supports a full life outside the gym.
Choose 5, 8, or 12 meals per week. As we grow, you’ll be able to add on breakfast options, extra protein, and sauce packs for more flexibility.
Each week, we drop a fresh menu focused on high-protein, performance-driven plates. Choose your meals based on flavor, macros, or goal – cut, maintain, or bulk.
Meals are chilled, sealed, and labeled with heating instructions and expiration dates. Grab them at your partner gym, stack the fridge, and get back to lifting, parenting, or building your own thing.
Ideal if you want to stop grabbing fast food after the gym or cover weekday lunches with zero thought.
Perfect for lifters and busy professionals who want most of the week covered without giving up dinners out.
For athletes, high-volume lifters, or those who want the fridge fully stocked with zero excuses.
Exact partner gyms and pickup windows will be announced ahead of launch in the Milwaukee area.
Iron + Oven was born after one more late-night restaurant tour that looked great on paper and terrible for real life. Jake is an executive chef, a single dad raising two teenage boys, and a lifter who cares about feeling strong in and out of the kitchen.
Instead of signing up for another 70–90 hour restaurant grind, he built a different path: a chef-led, high-protein meal service that lets him pour his skill into food while still being present for his kids, his health, and the people he loves.
That balance is baked into Iron + Oven. It’s for people who want to train hard, build something meaningful, and still sit down with their families at the end of the day – without sacrificing nutrition along the way.
Timeline will depend on locking in the right commissary kitchen and finalizing partnerships with local gyms. Join the early access list and you’ll get launch dates before anything goes public.
First phase will focus on gym pickup to keep overhead low and quality tight. As we grow, we may test structured home delivery in specific zones.
Menus will always list ingredients and macro ranges. We’ll expand into more specific macro targets and dietary preferences as we grow, but we won’t claim something we can’t execute with integrity.
We’re building this around flexibility. No long-term contracts, and the ability to shift, pause, or adjust as life happens.
If you’re already in the gym, already tracking protein, and done with bland meal prep, this is your lane. Add your info below and you’ll be the first to see menus, pricing, and pickup locations.
No spam. No pressure. Just honest updates as Iron + Oven moves from idea to launch.
