This gym was built through hard work and so much perseverance by the owner and its members alike. It has the atmosphere of no gym you will find anywhere around here. Rheta made it her mission to make the best gym around, and she’s succeeded.

Amazing gym, never been anywhere like it. Loaded with equipment. Great environment. The people are what make it. Wealth of knowledge and experience here. Everything from physique athletes to strongmen and women, to world record powerlifters. There's no way to not get whatever results you're looking for here. Whatever the goal is, you can see it walking around and putting work in here on a daily basis.

Best gym in Syracuse! Bloodiron not only offers a welcoming atmosphere but this gym has all the equipment you need plus offers the unique opportunity to use Westside equipment and a unilateral leg press. The amazing owner (Rheta West) gives everything for her gym and it shows! Always looking out to help lifters of all abilities. We are more than a gym surrounded by walls and equipment. Bloodiron is more than a gym, it’s a family!

Well on it's way to be the best gym in Syracuse. Good equipment, affable members, helpful staff, almost no restriction on what to do with weights (unlike certain so called fitness centers). A real place to bulk up or get lean. I am willing to pay membership every month for a place like this.

Blood Iron Barbell is a great gym! Blood Iron Barbell is the best gym in CNY. The owner, Rheta West, is so knowledgeable and helpful. The gym has an old school feel but there is something for everyone. Very spacious, too! No intimidation just a friendly neighborhood gym that also gives back to the community!

Where to begin! When I think about the "perfect gym" Blood Iron is the only one that comes to mind. There is such an awesome energy and wealth of knowledge in one place. The owner and even other members are always egar to help you. Regardless of your fitness level, whether you're a beginner and just starting out in a gym or your an elite lifter you will feel like you are "home" the moment you walk through the doors. I love this place! Hands down best gym and atmosphere in all of Syracuse.

Blood Iron Barbell is more than a gym. This gym has an atmosphere you can’t get atother gyms, the feeling you get when you step through those doors is a feeling a empowerment and confidence. At this gym, members help spot each other with lifts or we congratulate each other for accomplishments. Members work with each other to help better themselves. It has an old school type atmosphere and everyone there is very helpful. Very nice gym!

I’ve been training at Blood Iron Barbell for just under 2 months now and I love it. The gym has everything you could ask for in terms of equipment and the members are all very friendly. The gym’s owner, Rheta, is the friendliest of all! One of my favorite parts of Blood Iron is that there’s no signing in or membership cards, you get your own personal code for the door so you can get in whenever you need to with no hassle (even on holidays). Overall, this is the best gym I’ve ever been a member of and it’s something I look forward to after a full work day.
