Iron Maidens brings together women at all stages of training to inspire each other with their commitment, effort, willingness to fail, and drive to succeed.
We welcome novice through advanced lifters, first-time competitors and veterans to step on the platform in this competitive yet supportive day of heavy lifting.

The Stay Strong Scholarship
We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Grace Outreach, a Bronx based nonprofit that works with women to further their education and gain financial independence.

Now in its fourth year, the Scholarship has raised over $100,000.
