Whatever your training genre, Blood Iron Barbell has it all to reach your goals – for powerlifters, strongmen/(women), bodybuilders, etc. or even for the weekend warrior, this gym will not disappoint. So if you’re in the 315 area, do stop by and get a workout in.

There are gyms, and then there is blood iron barbell. No one member of this gym will tell you how good they are, or how strong they are, or what they accomplished or plan to…. But stand in this place for 10 minutes observing the workouts being done or the trophies that litter the walls or the blood and sweat stains on the floor and you immediately grasp the level of dedication behind these walls. More world record holders and professional card holding body builders grace these machines then any place you've ever been.The gym is no joke. But struggle with your own personal best that's nowhere near any of the aforementioned accomplishments..... And one of these monsters will be the 1st to lend you a spot.This gym is the house that badd a** built. If you are looking to get the job done and leave it all on the floor and then go the hell home and eat....then punch in. If you want to scroll through Instagram in between sets and talk about your Biceps… best you pass this one by.

Old school gym with a lot of unique equipment, including Westside Barbell equipment, as well as numerous knowledgeable members who are friendly and willing to help. There is something here for everyone, from beginners to world ranked powerlifters, IFBB pro bodybuilders, and strongmen. Best gym in New York.

Old school gym with a family style atmosphere. Everyone at the gym is very welcoming and friendly, and the knowledge base is enormous. There are also a few powerlifting and strongman groups, as well as several excellent trainers.

If you can’t find what you need to get strong at this place you don’t belong in a gym. They have all you could ever need for powerlifting, strongman, and more. Rheta (the owner) and the members there help create an environment where you are supported, pushed to get better, but never coddled. If you want to be a big fish in a small pond this place is not for you, but if you want to be the shark that freely roams the ocean head to Blood Iron and get better.
