We focus on what works because we know the best results come from consistency, quality, and trust.
Where Our Story Began
Heavy Metal was founded by Tyler & Heather Mundy. Tyler was a master machinist, devoted family man, and passionate musician. Alongside him was his wife Heather, whose dedication helped bring their shared vision to life. Together, they built a business grounded in quality, integrity, customer service, and family values.
Tyler’s love for his family, music and craftsmanship shaped everything he did. With Heather & their children by his side, he poured himself into his work, his family, and his community. Though Tyler passed in 2017, the values he and Heather established continue to guide Heavy Metal today: quality, customer focus, and strong family principles.
The Tyler Mundy Memorial Scholarship
In Tyler’s honor, and with his family’s ongoing support, Heavy Metal offers the Tyler Mundy Memorial Scholarship to support students pursuing careers in the trades or music—carrying forward a legacy of hard work, creativity, and generosity.
Testimonials
Albert Brand, Kratos Athletic Center
We couldn’t be more impressed with the work Heavy Metal LLC did for Kratos Athletic Center. Every barbell in our facility—built to handle serious weight and daily abuse—came from them. Their craftsmanship is second to none.
They also went above and beyond by designing custom specialty bars tailored to our training style. Whether it’s for powerlifting, strongman, or general strength work, these bars perform flawlessly and look just as good as they feel.
If you’re building a serious training environment, Heavy Metal LLC is who you want in your corner. Durable, precise, and built to last—just like the athletes who train with them.
