RVA Iron Gym

The best private gym I've ever been to. Friendly staff, open 24 hours and meticulously clean. Well worth the cost.

Unique equipment, well placed lighting, uplifting atmosphere and there’s a posing room! They sell supplements and clothing during business hours too. Check out their home brand and show your support for the gym!Love the variety of plates, got those old school iron plates and also the new ones. They have professional powerlifting equipment and Eleiko competition plates on the platforms too. High-end variety of bars to follow.Motivational vibes all around. Been a member for years now and they’re always adding new equipment or upgrading current ones. There are some old school hardcore machines here that you can only find in a handful of gyms nationwide.Owner and his crew train here too so you know they keep their eyes AND hands on everything.The gym, however, could use a shower and changing rooms but that’s not what I train here for.

Great environment and knowledgeable staff. This is exactly the kind of gym I was looking for and the quality of the equipment, people and environment make each workout better. We’re very fortunate to have a facility like this in Richmond. Whether your beginning or been at for years this gym has something for everyone.and havin joco pearly whites greet me adds to the whole thing

What an incredible gym! I’ve been into fitness and bodybuilding for 25+ years and have NEVER come across such amazing equipment, let alone a whole gym’s worth of it, or such an infectious energy in one place. What Brandon and Bobby have put together in one year is absolutely amazing. It goes beyond equipment in a building and very fair membership rates. They have created a place for anyone serious about making the best physical progress possible. They built a Mecca for those who demand the best of themselves and feed off being around others of a similar mind. If you walk through their doors, you’re instantly family. It’s truly beyond words and I’m so thankful for what they have created and continue to build in RVA Iron.

24hr with decent equipment but they don’t use heat in the building hard to even get warm and if you do manage to warm up you get a nice cold sweat

I just joined, but it seems like the perfect place to become a monster! The staff is nice, but it could be intimidating for a gym nubie. If you're will to learn, folks will teach you to be a beast.

Easily best gym in Richmond with top tier equipment, lighting, and atmosphere. Under appreciated but the music is always amazing due to a community iPad to change music!

I am a retired lady just getting started in bodybuilding. I had a few months to spend in RVA so I took the plunge and went all in with RVA Iron, including hiring the owner to train me. Training with Mr. Garner was everything! He gave me the tools I need to improve my form and build muscle. Although he was busy opening a second RVA Iron and making improvements to the flagship location, he was invested in our training sessions and cared about my progress. Also, Mr. Garner cares deeply about the quality of the equipment and the cleanliness of the facility. Worth every penny. You get what you pay for folks!

Whenever I go out of town I always look forward to possibly working out at a local gym. This place was awesome! It is gritty but not a dirty gym. I love the fact that the members are newbies to serious, experienced lifters. Makes me loathe places like PF even more that feed off insecurities making people think gyms are judgemental places. The members are focused but super respectful. I've only had one workout here but I'm already looking forward to the rest of the week I will be going.Just a side note, there are no locker rooms, just one person restrooms and cubbies are in a common area. I promise you nobody is looking to take anything from you, everyone is there to workout and improve. Definitely love the place!

Prime gym for people that want to progress in fitness. Best atmosphere and killer equipment. Driving 40 mins to this gym is definitely worth it!
