Iron Man Magazine

iron man magazine, america’s oldest fitness magazine in circulation, was founded in 1936 by peary and mabel rader of alliance, nebraska. in the early 1950s, iron man magazine was the first weight-training publication to show women working out with weights as part of their overall fitness regimen. in 1986, the raders sold the magazine to john balik and mike neveux, who repositioned the magazine as a hardcore fitness publication. iron man started out as an educational vehicle to inform and enlighten those people who were interested in weightlifting, bodybuilding and eventually, powerlifting. the magazine has always stressed the health and character-building aspects of weight-training, and was always the leader in bringing exercise and nutrition concepts/ideas to those in the training world. created to be a source of “inspiration, information and transformation” for the fitness industry, ironman magazine, 80 years later, is still driven by those core values. iron man magazine announced on
