Everything your looking for in a REAL GYM if you want to get your pump or blow off some steam, grunt yell or lift any time a day. If that's what your looking for this is your gym.

Great environment, it’s just recently expanded and I’ve been going to this gym for 3 years now. Warehouse feel too it and not close to feeling like you’re in a commercial environment. Worth taking the time to stop by and it’s 24/7 can’t beat it.

Was EXTREMELY excited when I first heard rumors of a new gym opening up in the area. After going to the Grand Opening Night and meeting Dale and Jake I was hooked and signed up, a decision I have YET to regret!! I have been in to train just about every day since opening and my workouts have gone up to a whole other level!! The atmosphere in the gym and the other members make you want to get better. I can go in and lift in the way I see fit to, without the rules and restrictions of other gyms. And of course I have access to it 24 HOURS A DAY. If you want a stripped down, back to the basics of lifting REAL IRON then THIS is the place for you!!!

Dale

Worst gym in 757. The owner Jake I believe his name is,is a complete tool. Has zero people skills. Plus the vibe is very cooperate now. The owner cares more about flirting with women and talking about steroids then helping customers.

Great gym! Definitely the right atmosphere for weight training and making gains!

austin shaffer

An awesome facility! Came for the day and I definitely see myself getting a membership.. If you're trying to make gains this is the place to be!

James Rhodes

The best gym I've been a member of. I gonna say it's the best in the 757. It's Better then any other gym in the 7 cities

Steve Kudrick

Great gym, all free weights, no machines. There is cardio equipment here. The owner is very outgoing and willing to help. They are expanding the gym currently, about doubling the amount of space. It's nice to see there are still real gyms out there that don't cater to just one group of people, and where it's locally owned and not a corporate chain. I really hope America. Barbell club thrives and continues to stick around.

Best gym in the Tidewater area, excellent staff and extremely clean

Jake Judkins

This gym Is by far the best around for true gains...the owners who you can tell are truly about fitness are always willing to help help with any questions you may have to help you get where you want to be physically...I personally left onelife fitness to come to American barbell club and I have zero regrets...I'm truly glad I ditched the corporate hype gyms and made a local owned gym my new workout home...so if you want results give this gym a chance you won't be disappointed...

If you are a IRON ADDICT you need to get to this gym. They are great guys and provide a great atmosphere for iron heads to go and lift heavy with out restrictions. Definitely a place to belong to.

Need a place that promotes growth not only physically but mental toughness as well? American iron barbell club is the place. The environment provides that and you'll be treated as family. Everyone is willing to help anyone achieve there goals.

Nathan Walls

Great equipment and gym. Real weights and real music. Good for people that want gainzzz

Tri Nguyen

Awesome gym. It is very traditional and is open 24 hours! The music playlist is awesome and the staff is very nice and supportive. Everyone here compliments and helps each other achieve their goals. They keep powerlifting records on the board to keep competition interesting! We needed a gym like this on this side of the water that accepts chalk!

Christopher Davis

It's more like a garage gym of random items picked up from Goodwill then a gym.

lindsay hill

Awesome gym with traditional machines, great music (non of that top hits censored crap) and knowledgeble staff. Get away from the corporate gym BS and support your local business :)

Lisa Flick

When my husband and I joined this place was perfect for us! Kenny at the front desk has always been more than helpful. After months thought the gym has declined drastically. Equipment is breaking and some doesn't work at all. The owner has made ZERO efforts to fix or replace anything. He just doesn't seem to care about his establishment. Such a sad loss. Was great once but no longer.

American Iron Barbell Club... Six Stars...

Amber Suders

Great old school gym where you can workout without being judged!

Justin Miller

Best gym I've ever been to. The owner genuinely cares about the members. American Iron Barbell Club is the gym for anyone. So go sign up and throw some weight around!

Tyler Degenhardt

The absolute worst customer service I have ever been associated with. I took a class for the Fire Department there back in April. Was told I could pay $20 for a partial month membership and cancel at the end of my 2 week class. I cancelled upon leaving and have been charged every month since. They have been unresponsive to any emails or phone calls despite many times reaching out. I am ashamed to have reached out to as they were recommended by a friend. They seemed more than willing to help out a member of Public Service however they have since done nothing but take advantage of me.

Zackery Reese

Gym has everything you need in a location that has been begging for some kind of gym in it for years. Most gyms tend to be near the City Center area while American Iron stayed true to its local roots and opened locally. Has all the free weights you need and the owners Dale and Jake are continuously taking suggestions on what to improve.

Mara Dupuis

This gym ticks all the boxes. Open 24/7, always has the music on, fantastic people, and, of course, iron.

Courtney Beshel

For someone who works crazy, weird hours love being a member of a 24hr gym!

Parrish Padgett

Great atmosphere. Just the right amount of equipment for gains.

William Hinson

Great place to life staff very helpful

Mike Schott

Are you getting tired of the spa music that your local gym plays that ultimately causes an immediate lethargic affect resulting in total motivational shut down? American Iron is the cure for that diagnosis. Great staff. Great music. Great atmosphere. So wipe up your drool puddle at the squat rack and say no to 'loss of motivation'. Check em out!

Great gym!! Great equipment. Great atmosphere! Great staff!!

neal hill

Poor customer service. Tried calling on several occasions. It no one ever seemed to answer. This used to be a decent place. Merchandise was good. Then it seemed like the merch was outsourced and it isn’t even branded the last time I got something.

Justin Sety

A meatheads dream gym. Amazing environment that promotes progress and personal achievement.

Justus LeCates

By far the best gym I have ever been too. Ive been to multiple gyms in Virginia and overseas and you will not find the same atmosphere anywhere else. The people and especially Dale (owner) will help you with anything you need. This gym has pushed me to new PR's and the motivation the people here provide is unlike anything else. 5 out of 5.

Amy Walker

An awesome local business in Newport News run by owner, Jake Anderson. Clean, professional, and convenient. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week rain or shine. Happy to be a member at this gym!

Jacob French

Awesome gym! They have everything a powerlifter needs to train and more. I visited here because I was on vacation and I’d definitely come back to train again.

IFBB Pro Debra Rosado-Bohac

American Iron Barbell Club is a 24hr gym that has no restrictions. You can workout in any fitness attire that you feel comfortable in. You can grunt, use chalk and even listen to loud motivating music. This gym has been designed for both men and women in mind to conquer their workout. The atmosphere is motivating as it has motivational quotes along the walls. You hit a PR, ring the bell and they will place your name on the wall. What other gym does that???? Their goal is to keep you focused, determined and inspired to reach your fitness goals. Don't wait any longer and go check them out!!!!

Adam Gouge

Best gym in the area hands down

Alexis Liakos

Great gym! I was visiting Virginia from the Boston area and staying in Newport News for a few days. As a powerlifter, it can be hard to find a gym with a squat rack, good stiff bars, deadlift platform, and a place to benchpress where the pick height is adjustable- American Iron Barbell suited all my needs for a great workout. The owner and staff were very friendly! The drop in price is very reasonable compared to most gyms I've encountered while traveling. The hours are extensive, being open 7 days a week and 24 hours for members. Best of all the atmosphere encourages heavy lifting and chalk!! I'll certainly be back the next time I'm in Newport News.

William Cutts

Great stuff inside the gym. They have everything you need. The staff is great to they will help you with anything you need and coach you through whatever type of workout you want. All and all definitely worth it. Awesome gym!
