Since 2012, Iron Athletics has become Harford County’s premiere strength gym. Founded by Steve Mattheu, a Maryland native and an established Strongman competitor, he strives to give his clientele a place to build strength, increase mobility, improve performance, and gain the knowledge needed to train for life.
With extensive experience as a trainer and formal education in Exercise Science, his 'modus operandi’- “Form First” - stems from his background in biomechanics and passion for maximizing performance at any age, through any injury. With progressive programming customized to each athlete’s goals, and alternative equipment not found at other gyms, Iron Athletics is the leading private personal training facility in the greater Baltimore area.
Mattheu won the North American Strongman Nationals title in 2009, and has placed in the top 3 in 20 of the 22 Strongman competitions he's competed, often out-performing competitors in the weight class above him. Steve took first place in Maryland's Strongest Man in three different weight classes, and is undefeated in North American Strongman qualifiers in the 200lb division.
