Iron Temple follows the journey of International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB) pro Tony Torres, who began his life as an eager adolescent growing up in the streets of New York. Young Tony became attracted to bodybuilding, idolized bodybuilders, and wanted to be one. Through his time becoming a bodybuilder, Tony ventured into the adult entertainment industry and built a lucrative lifestyle, right before it all came crashing down. After covering a murder for a friend and being chased by the FBI he was sent to prison for five years. After doing his time, he had to build back his life from the bottom. Tony started a small gym and trained IFBB professionals from coast to coast. Tony Torres is what you would call an overcomer. Every time he was dealt a bad hand, Tony would always power through and come out on top.
