Founded in 2012 by Steve Mattheu, a Harford County, Maryland native, Mattheu is an established Strongman competitor, having won the North American Strongman National title in 2009. He took first place in Maryland’s Strongest Man in three different weight classes, is undefeated in North American Strongman qualifying rounds in the 200lb division, and has placed in the top three in 20 of the 22 Strongman competitions he’s competed, often going up a weight class to have access to heavier events, going toe to toe with larger competitors. He graduated from Salisbury University with formal education in exercise science, biomechanics, and energy systems, and maintains a passion for maximizing performance naturally. Mattheu knew early on he wanted a gym dedicated to building strength, increasing mobility, improving performance, and most importantly, helping others learn how to move well for a lifetime of physical health. His extensive knowledge and experience lead him to open Iron Athletics in July of 2012. Set apart by progressive programming customized to each athlete’s goals as well as hyper-focused on corrective measures to poor movement, and alternative equipment not found at other gyms, Iron Athletics’ facility and approach to fitness is unmatched in the greater Baltimore area.
