Since 2012, Iron Athletics has become a staple in the Forest Hill community for those determined to Train for Life. Founded by Steve Mattheu, a Maryland native and an established Strongman competitor, he strives to give his clientele a place to build strength, mobility, and gain the knowledge needed to live a healthy and injury free life.
With 14 years experience as a trainer and formal education in Exercise Science, his 'modus operandi' stems from his extensive background in biomechanics and passion for health and performance. Steve systematically pursues results by custom tailoring each athlete's progressive programming.
He 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. Mattheu 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.
