Fantastic. We travel the world and always look for exciting gyms to go to American. Iron exceeded expectations. The more you look around the gym the more Equipment you realize they have. Sis, at the front desk was fantastic and treated as well. I will definitely be returning. read more

Great gym with great equipment. I loved the feel of the gym. It was so motivating I worked out for 2 hours.

Brandon made signing up quick, easy, and hassle free. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Aside from the excellent customer service and hassle free enrollment this gym has something for everyone. Come check out American Iron Gym and work towards your personal goals in a friendly stress free environment. read more

I love American Iron Gym!! Brandon at AI has always helped me out and all of the folks in this gym have nothing but great things to say about him & the culture! read more

Where to start? I have been coming here for over ten years. In thet ten years have made many friends, learned from others. The size has almost quadrupled so there is something for everyone. No pool, fancy towels or steam rooms with schweaty guys. A real gym with everything from free weights to computer assisted lift machines. You will encounter strong men, body builders, athletes, body models, crossfit, yoga and even some pudgy, boomer, honeybadgers like me trying to max out machines. Speaking of machines, you will hard pressed to find all of the machines here at other gyms. The unique and unicorn are all represented. The staff is always excellent. The ownership team is absolutely focused on your happiness and health. They give back to the community and are the nicest people you could ever meet. I was reading through the comments and want people to understand that all walks of life, gender, race, religion or sexual orientation are welcome here, this a very diverse gym. Even carb chasers like me! Plenty of fitness trainers as well! read more

See all

Having worked and worked out at a few gyms in the Reno area I can officially say that American Iron is an incredible gym. The sense of community at this place is unparalleled by any other and with all the growth they've had in the last two years, you can now do just about any kind of workout that fits your style. I don't lift super heavy weights but they have plenty of powerlifters and strongman there who can easily get their workouts in and love it. There are a number of bodybuilders if that's your thing. I do more natural movement, a small amount of CrossFit-type exercises, and calisthenics. I can even get my boxing in on the days I need to hit something. This gym has it all and I love that! I always see staff cleaning - the owners are machines with how they run this gym. Never seen anything quite like it. I most definitely recommend checking American Iron out - you'll be glad you did! read more

American Iron Gym - Field room post workout! Success! - Gyms Near Me - Reno, Nevada

A gym with old school vibes and a ton of equipment and free weights. If you like working out and throwing around some weight without ego and judgement, this is your place. They have 4 different workout areas to suit your lifting needs, along with a smaller room dedicated to cardio equipment. Their memberships also have old school vibes-No contract, no annual fees, and no sign up fees. $35 a month, period. The evenings are busy but they have plenty of equipment, racks, weights, and turf so it never feels overcrowded. Best traditional gym in Reno, hands down. read more

Went there while on travel. If you're a hardcore muscle head, it is awesome. It's clean, immaculately organized, and has equipment I've never seen. The people that run the place were incredibly nice when I came in. If I lived in Reno, there is no doubt I would be a member read more

Amazing gym for the novice or serious lifter. Traveling on business and needed to drop in to get a leg day in. Fantastic space with multiple racks and equipment. Friendly group of lifters willing to lend a hand. Definitely felt at home and will be back!! read more

Jeremy is an awesome trainer and the vibe in the gym is great ! Everyone is on a mission and you can either keep to yourself or be friendly . everyone is pretty much business hard core for the bod but chill on the personal . five stars !! read more

One of the best gyms I've ever been to. It's as good as the original Golds in Venice. Everything you need and more. I couldn't recommend this gym more. read more

American Iron Gym - Gyms Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Great gym, friendly staff. I always feel welcome. They call it a "family"! It really is

I first joined in 1987 and when I moved back to Reno I rejoined and it's even better now. If you don't want to workout hard maybe join another gym. The isn't a gym, but a community of dedicated awesomeness people. I love it there. Plus it opens at 4:00am. Get in early and get out. read more

I'm a fairly new convert to American Iron, but, from what I've seen, it's one of the most unique and value-driven gyms in Reno. With accessible hours, abundant equipment and opportunities for personal training, American Iron has some great perks. For potential members, be aware that this gym is pretty no-frills, but it does offer all of the most basic and advanced weightlifting equipment you'll ever need--including squat racks, free weights, kettle bells and more--as well as cardio machines. Among the patrons you'll find professional bodybuilders, exercise newbies, seniors and young people alike. When I first joined, I paid extra to work with one of the on-staff licensed personal trainers, Kindra Cannon, and I can't recommend her enough. She taught me how to use machines I'd never worked with before, and she gave me plenty of encouragement throughout the process (and tough love, when I needed it). She also offers meals plans as an add-on to her services. If you're just looking for a basic membership, this gym offers the most bang for your buck that I've seen in Reno, at around $30 per month (less if you buy several months or a year at a time). Things to consider: -The music appears to be a looping playlist of the same 20 metal, alternative and heavy rock songs (I'm pretty sure I've heard Papa Roach's "Last Resort" at least four dozen times since I became a member). If that kind of music isn't your jam, be sure to download Spotify or Pandora and listen to your own music on your smartphone. The wi-fi is free for members! -This gym can be intimidating, especially for women and/or beginners, who seem to be in the minority. Since the gym can get pretty busy during peak hours, other members will ask to work in with your equipment or swoop in on your machines while you're doing a circuit, so make sure you're willing to speak up if you need to. But many of the members are also experienced gym rats, so if you're willing to accommodate others and follow proper gym etiquette then you'll be treated well. The women who *do* go to American Iron are total badasses, by-and-large, so the atmosphere can be quite motivating if you give it a chance. -The location, on Rock Blvd on the east side of the airport, is off the beaten path for many Renoites, so take this into consideration if a close proximity to the gym is important to you. read more

American Iron Gym - Sage, the gym dog, is often around to make workouts more adorable. - Gyms Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This gym is amazing! I'm a powerlifter and I dropped in for a day. The fee was $15, not too bad. But man, what a great place to lift weights! They had everything a powerlifter could want, as well as many other types of athletes. Several types of squat racks, deadlift platforms, great benches, lots of accessory machines, chalk, competition bars, the works. I talked to Tamara Lopes, one of the owners, and she couldn't have been more friendly, helpful, or knowledgeable about lifting. Dropping in there was one of the best gym experiences I've ever had and I can't recommend it highly enough to any other powerlifter spending time in Reno. read more

American Iron Gym - The greatest powerlifting room! - Gyms Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I've been gym hopping in the past trying to find a comfortable fit, and American Iron Gym has been the place for me. I've been working out at this gym for over three going on four years now starting around 2018-2019. I love everything about the gym. The atmosphere. The culture. The equipment. This gym by far is the best in Northern Nevada. American Iron is truly an original genuine gym. No big box gym will ever be compare and be on the level of American Iron Gyms. There is a variety of free weights and equipment, from bumper plates, iron plates, discs, bars, power racks. You will not be disappointed with this gym. read more

Clean gym, with up to date and rare old school equipment. Definitely go here if you're a bodybuilder and want to get away from the commercial gyms in Reno. read more

Bad Ass Gym. Only snowflakes would be offended... Nuff said If you're into power lifting or bodybuilding this is THE gym in our area! Period! read more

Really great gym and atmosphere. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a place to get in shape and move weights!!

Guest visit 6/20/21 $15 guest fee Long story short. I have no idea how I have not heard of this gym This gym is for any and all types of lifting. It's like walking into Costco for lifting. Big and full of good stuff. read more

Quality spot! I was a visitor looking for a gym during my competition prep while visiting family and a $10 drop in fee was more than worth it. They've got everything from standard equipment to Olympic to power and anything else you can think of. Friendly front staff Gabriel walked me through everything, no egos just people there to lift. Thank you guys for your hospitality and will definitely hit it again if I'm ever back up that way. read more

America Iron continues to impress me. It's a no nonsense gym with a great variety of equipment/workout options plus. As I was leaving one day I asked if they had any recommendations for a nutritionist. Turns out they have one on staff. They have a nutritionist that graduated from UNR and worked at Saint Mary's hospital on staff. How many gyms offer that? So I scheduled a half hour consultation with Jackie a few days later. We talked about what my goals were and she asked me to write down my meals for a week and send them to her. We met a few weeks later and was impressed with her attention to detail and diligence on helping me figure out a plan for me to meet my goals. During that meeting she asked me to do a few more things and is still working on helping me meet my goals. Looking forward to see what she comes back with for me and can confidently say she has my best interest in mind. Unfortunately did not get this same feeling from a UNR nutritionist I saw a few years back. Needless to say I plan on being a member of this gym for many years to come and look forward to learning more about what they have to offer to their members. read more

What a cool gym! Everyone was so kind and welcoming. I met my trainer here and paid $10 for a day pass to workout with her. There are many different rooms with plenty of space to workout and use the machines/equipment. Would DEFINITELY recommend checking this out. Parking lot is small, but there are plenty of places to park and you can get a good warmup to walk in, if you have to park a bit away. read more

I have some health concerns and wanted some advice. Jacqueline took the time out of her week to sit down with me and talk about my issues and how it could effect my training. She gave me advice and put a lot of my worries at ease. I can't say enough about how great she is. read more

Came here on the weekend to get my pump on while in town for a push,pull and squat seminar at Black Iron Gym. Like my other review, I love this gym. They have all the essential equipment needed for all the gainz. They even got new equipment if you want to try more! I love love love the new weightlifting room they added. It was so brand spanking new, I didn't even want to go workout in it and get my sweat everywhere so I worked out in the old room lol. Tips - bring your own mobility items. The foam rollers there are like pillows for my butt :( they have a new mobility room though with a table so you don't have to take up valuable gym space outside lol. They also have tires and the stone balls if you want to try more cardio/endurance and strength work outs! So much fun items here!! $10 drop in or 30$ a month! read more

Yes, this a great gym. Everything everybody else is saying is absolutely true. Big differentiators for me: 1) Lots of squat racks. 2) 3 deadlift platforms. 3) My pre-teen son can be a paying member, with full gym privileges. Where else are you going to be able to do that? read more

While the gym's size and equipment is great and pretty incomparable to many other gyms in Reno, the cleanliness is definitely lacking. The women's locker room smells and looks like a middle school's boy's locker room. It is very small and has terrible ventilation. By 4pm on a warm day, it feels like a sauna. The lockers smell terrible, and look as they have never been cleaned. There seems to always be at least one clogged toilet. I have not once seen anyone in the locker room/restrooms cleaning, and I have been in at multiple times throughout the day. Also, every time I have been into the gym so far, at least 2, sometimes more, of the sanitizer "wipes" are out. When they are filled, they are filled with very dry, cheap paper towels that tear apart like toilet paper when you wet them with the sanitizer solution. It's annoying and frustrating to have to hunt for wipes to clean the equipment each time I finish a set and start a new one. With the prevalence of COVID19, and needing to be extra clean, this gym really needs to step it up. Not too sure I'll renew my membership after this month. I am torn because I really love the facility and the variety of equipment they offer, but my health is more important. read more

Hands down. The best gym in Reno. Super clean. The members actually care about the gym and rerack their weights and clean up after themselves. It sounds silly but it makes a big difference in the kind of atmosphere that's created. The management and staff really all do feel like family. Love this place. read more

This gym is excellent. The equipment and space is plenty sufficient, but that's just the start. The overall atmosphere is fantastic, both the staff and members are pleasant and helpful, and it's probably the most comfortable gym environment I've ever had the privilege to enjoy. read more

More space and equipment than anything I have ever experienced. Friendly staff and a fantastic experience. I would recommend this gym to anyone. read more

Still one of the best gyms in America. And that's coming from someone who's been to golds, sterns, loprinzis, metroflex etc. so believe me when I tell you this is as good as a gym gets! My day pass when I visit is 15 bucks, which I've never had a hard time paying...but that is a bit steep. Outside of that, this gym is flawless and works great for bodybuilding, olympics, CrossFit or even just strongman work. Go find out for yourself read more

This is the best gym I have ever been to for serious lifters and beginners. I competed for 3 years in NPC figure, and so many times I have had gyms that only have 2-3 power racks/squat racks, there's like 15. I've been lifting for 7. I have been going here for 8-9 months 7-6 days a week, and never have I had to wait for a squat rack. Lots of dead lifting areas as well. The equipment is never broken, like all the cables are in good shape, (damage cables can lead to a nasty accident when they snap and 100 lbs force of a metal bar comes at your face.) they also are always working on improving things. The cardio room is small but never full. Dumb bells go up to very high amounts. Which isn't cheap for a gym to maintain, dumbbells sell for a dollar on the pound used. Get up to 120lb dumb bells, a set of 2 is like 240 bucks. They have over 100 dumbbells easy. The owner, you always see walking around talking to people, and they are athletes themselves so they know what the gym needs to be the best. They have power lifting classes and all sorts of others. They also do powerlifting meets and events locally. The trainers are very respectful and helpful. If they see you doing a lift a little off (since they are actually power lifters that compete and lift crazy amounts of weight, at their events the girls deadlift cars!) They will come over and be like try this, and the advice I have gotten has always help. Also they have an app and online store that you can pick your session times on and with the trainer of your choice. They give rewards through check ins as well. They are active on fb and insta, and even stayed open when flooding was a risk! They also stay open on xmas and thanksgiving. 365 day gym. They also have massage and cross fit stuff I have yet to check out. read more

In-town for a business trip and found this gem of a gym to work out at. It's located in a small business complex adjacent to a crossfire gym. Really tidy/ modern facility, and very friendly patrons and employees... The locker room/restroom was a little small, but it served its purpose. Remember to bring your own lock! I only visited the powerlifting/weightlifting area so I can't really speak towards the other areas... but they had an Eleiko training bar/plate set from 2015 worlds (Houston) and pendlay bars/plates to make a traveling weightlifter feel right at home. read more
