This is a Serious Gym. You go here to make progress towards your goals.

The best gym in Syracuse. Iron sharpens iron, and Blood Iron has been the environment I needed to take my training to the next level.

Best gym in Syracuse! Great atmosphere, cool members, top of the line equipment, and Rheta is awesome!

The best gym I have ever been too. Rheta, the owner, is amazing and her passion for her gym and for fitness/lifting is above and beyond. A lot of varied equipment to use for whatever your fitness level or goal is. So happy that I joined, I feel like its home.

Been a member since opening. I love the fact that its a smaller, more private gym. You recognize everyones faces. I never feel judged or self conscious when Im at Blood Iron. The owner is AMAZING and helpful. I also have 1:1 training with a personal trainer Mary. I LOVE this gym.

I would follow Rheta wherever she goes. She creates and fosters an environment that motivates me to work hard. The space and the people are welcoming, and comfortable. Everyone is very respectful and friendly and there to work hard!

Great old school gym. Sling steel, get stronk.

If you’re looking for something different than all the mainstream/commercial gyms, I would highly suggest giving blood iron a try! I just recently started working out there, and I’m really excited to utilize all of the unique things she has there! I’ve been training for 2+ years and thought I was familiar with everything you’d see in a gym... I was wrong! Sooo many new things to use and learn! Def something there for everyone and all styles of training. And my favorite part, the energy levels there are UNMATCHED! I’ve made friends and talked with more people there in the last few weeks than most people ever do in their entire lifetime at a gym. I’ve had multiple people and the owner happily offer help and answer any questions I’ve had :) You can feel the respect between everyone as soon as you enter, No bad attitudes inside!

Blood Iron Barbell has an environment that induces beast mode. Theres a real positive energy at Blood Iron; Its unique. The owner Rheta West, is a renowned athlete with several world records. Ive been a member at just about every gym in Syracuse over the years and Blood Iron takes the cake.Its not a commercial gym; its a place to reach goals by tapping into your inner strength.

If you want a GYM to workout in and not a fitness facility this is the spot. Great atmosphere. Everyone is there for a purpose.Every is cool 😎. No egos.

This is that good feeling old skool gym that everyone needs to lift in. Honestly this gym is seriously one of a kind with an owner who puts EVERYTHING she has into it.

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.

Excellent gym! Equipment, members, hours make it the best gym in CNY! Highly recommend for any fitness level!

Amazing gym with amazing people with a Family like environment willing to help you reach your goals whatever they may be.

Well on its 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.

Best strength gym in Upstate NY hands down. Rheta has built a haven for lifters of all levels. The addition of Jaime and 315 Strong Strongman crew rounds out a unique gym experience. Anytime I am in Syracuse I will make it a point to stop in to train.

Great environment for powerlifting, strongman, and body building with knowledge all around from ifbb pros to world class powerlifters.

Blood Iron is a well equipped gym in a convenient location. It is very dedicated to servicing a wide variety of fitness needs and goals. The owner and staff are very knowledgeable and the members are very friendly. They are especially dedicated to working with female members. This is by far one of the very best facilities in the region.

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.

Nothing but good things to say .This is an Amazing gym with great equipment, lots of space, a great atmosphere and an awesome owner

Awesome gym. Like minded goal oriented people and the owner is badass and has a huge heart!

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 youre 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.

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.

Blood iron is one of the most accomodating gyms Ive ever been to. Its not just some place you can go and lift its more than that. Its very welcoming and fits my personal preference of nitty gritty free weight style gyms. There are machines but I dont use them. Its more than a place to lift its more like a family.

Excellent space, amazing atmosphere and so much awesome under one roof! Plenty of versatile equipment that will keep your body guessing. So much knowledge and experience from Rheta and the members it would be crazy not to check it out and see what all of the hype is about!

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. Theres no way to not get whatever results youre looking for here. Whatever the goal is, you can see it walking around and putting work in here on a daily basis.

Its dope gym with great energy

Rheta is the best! If you’re looking for a hard-core gym, look no further!

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.

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!

One of the best gyms youll find anywhere. Serious powerlifters, bodybuilders, strongmen/strongwomen, and all kinds of others interested in fitness and improving themselves. They have a ton of great equipment, but its the community youll find there that makes this place a gem.

One of the best gyms Ive ever been to. Everyone is friendly, but respectful of the fact that you are there to work out. The owner is incredible, so helpful and knowledgeable. Do yourself a favor and check out Blood Iron Barbell.

I live in Pittsburgh PA and often visit my family in Ithaca. I reached out to to the gym prior to my visit and Rheta was nothing but helpful. This is a badass gym with everything you could possibly need. Everyone there was super friendly and helpful. Great energy too! I will certainly be going back next time Im up that way.

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.

Best gym in the area to achieve your goals, powerlifting, bodybuilding, strongman, sports training or even just to get in shape while being in a great environment! Great for any age youth to adult, Rheta an her staff are amazing and knowledgeable! Local business that helps the community, oh and the best sports chiropractor in the area on site!!! - Amazing place!!

Great atmosphere, great equipment.Doing solid work for the community/neighborhood also.Rheta is top notch

The gym is an atmosphere some of us need and that’s the old school mentality. Hands down the best gym in the CUSE and the owner CARES about what WE the lifters want plus need to continue getting healthier or stronger whatever you want!

Ive been in the gym industry for most of my life, training, managing, coaching, running operations etcetc and theres almost too many good things to try to even list regarding Blood Iron, Rheta and the community here. You have a room full of state of the art strength equipment, intelligent and experienced members, an incredibly knowledgeful and experienced owner/trainer/coach/friend, heavy music and an atmosphere you cant help but get psyched up in. If you decide to train here and not get results, thats on you for not utilizing literally everything you could ever want or need under one roof and an incredible coach (Rheta) who unlike most gym owners WANTS to see you improve, not just pay a membership...which might I add for what is at your disposal... substantially affordable. If youre looking not only for a facility that breeds results, but a community that will foster them as well... Theres no comparing Blood Iron

An awesome gym with the best old school feels! There’s something for everyone whether you’re a powerlifter, body builder, or just coming in for a great workout

Awesome place. Great people. Would absolutely recommend to friends and family

Classic old school gym. Show up and be prepared to work. Everyone is willing to help you reach your goals, no matter how big or small.

Great hardcore gym, super nice people treat you like family, great place to learn and get strong

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!

Great atmosphere with great people.

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 youve ever been.The gym is no joke. But struggle with your own personal best thats 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.

Not a commercial Gym! A gym where you have the atmosphere and expertise to reach your goals.

Great place to get some serious work done! This is an old school gym to the core.

Best gym in Syracuse! Old school muscle gym where youre treated like family!

In a time of pretty and comfortable, new fitness facilities Blood Iron Barbell is a slap the face wake up call to the reality of weight training. Old school feel with experience and history in not only the gym but the WR holder owner Rheta West. If you are serious about training whether it be powerlifting in the separate back power room, strongman in the 315 room, or bodybuilding strength training in the main room this gym is where you want to train in CNY. Oh they have cardio equipment too 😊

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.
