⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hercules Gym is an absolute powerhouse in the Syracuse fitness scene.
This place is huge — easily one of the biggest training spaces in the area — and packed with every piece of equipment you can imagine. In many cases, they even have multiple versions of the same machine, which means no waiting around and endless training variations. It’s truly a bodybuilder’s heaven.
The layout and use of space are exceptional, and the atmosphere is welcoming, focused, and supportive. Hercules has that rare community feel where beginners and seasoned athletes train side by side, and everyone is rooting for each other.
This is the perfect place to support a local business owner instead of the typical chain gyms. Prices are excellent, and the 24-hour access plus flexible 7-day and daily passes make it convenient for absolutely any schedule.
Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or looking to push your goals to the next level, Hercules Gym delivers everything you need and more. Highly recommend.

I signed up just from the reviews and pictures alone. Today was my first day inside and the place is amazing. It definitely took me a few minutes to find the equipment I wanted to use just from the amount of choices there is. It's definitely a big change coming from a big chain

This is the gym to beat in Central and Western NY. I went there just for the day as I was traveling for work. Very friendly front desk, clean facility, that gritty hardcore look but with all of the modern and specialty equipment you can think of for athletes and body builders. The guy at the front desk was extremely nice to me, and as a black man from NYC that was extremely refreshing. I actually found out that my mother passed away the day that I went there, so it was the perfect place to blow off some steam and let out some anger on the weights instead of carrying it around all day. The gym was top tier and the customer service was perfect. I didn't feel weird for just getting a day pass and there was no pressure sales tactics to sign up. If i lived within an hour of this place i would 100% join. Even the people working out were focused on their workout and weren't looking at other people too much. A+++++

A day pass is super reasonable. The guy working the desk when we were there was so chill and nice. You have to pay online if not using cash, so cash may be easier. Any machine imaginable was available. And they have multiples of most things. Great benches, which is primarily why we went. This is a hardcore gym and they play hardcore music, so be aware of that if you are more sensitive to certain music. Bring your earbuds or something. Truly cannot praise this gym enough. Just A+ experience all around.

Best Gym around! Pete really cares about what he does and it shows. Unlike most gyms with multiple of the same machine. There are so many unique and different machines so you can hit the muscle group in multiple ways! He truly has it all. When you walk in, you see powerlifting equipment but as you look around you’ll see it includes bodybuilding and strongman equipment as well! It truly can’t be beat!

Hands down the best gym I’ve been to, and I’ve been to a fair share throughout the years. The space is not massive but it is so well utilized, the owner really put a lot of thought into the layout, you can just tell. The equipment is world class, the machine variety is bodybuilders heaven, or power lifter looking for accessory work variety. When I stepped inside this place, I felt an instant sense of belonging and motivated to smash my workout, the lighting, the atmosphere… all just the right amount of spice in this gem of a place. You want a zero nonsense gym? Come here! You want to feel like you went back to the golden years of bodybuilding (pumping iron style) gym? Come here! I am looking forward to training here and calling this gym my home for the next year at the very least. Did I mention how amazing their equipment is? Just see for yourself, you will never forget you visited this raw, true lifters paradise.

This is an excellent gym in Syracuse. I visited twice while staying the weekend with family, and both times (morning and afternoon) were wonderful. Excellent gear for powerlifters (i.e. calibrated plates; power bars; competition benches) and great atmosphere (i.e. loud music; great vibes amongst other lifters; super nice staff). Overall great experience and will certainly be back when I'm in Syracuse!

Obviously 5 stars.
I had to cut my time there short due to my mobile nature and moving yet again but this is the mecca of Syracuse for serious body building and powerlifting.
The culture here will inspire you to be your best unlike a generic gym.
People here know what they're doing and teenager teeny-bopper types aren't really to be seen.
Lots of unique equipment from many different eras. Cool stuff.
I would call it the Quads Gym of Syracuse (Quads Gym being the best old school body building and powerlifting gym of Chicago).
Cheers to the owner.

I don't leave reviews often unless I feel it's deserved. I was in town for the weekend and went a few times. What a GREAT experience! This place is a true lifters gym. Great atmosphere, all the equipment u could possibly need and so much history that u could feel it in the air. I live for gyms like this. Staff was very nice, place was big enough to satisfy any possible needs u have. My only complaint is that this gym isn't closer to me. If you are serious about lifting this is the place hands down. Couldn't give a better recommendation possible. This is the spot u been looking for!

I moved to syracuse last week and was researching this gym for over a month before i got here. I got my membership Wednesday without any intention on working out. I met with the owner and he told me to take a look around. I ended up working out that day. Ive been back everyday since. There are so many different plate loaded machines. Tons of dumbbells and high quality equipment. Ive been greeted by lots of nice people and have heard nothing but good things about the owner. 10/10 would recommend this gym.

In total, as a member and guest, I have worked out at more than 50 different gyms in ~10 different states, from all the big chains (World's, Gold's, Planet Fitness unfortunately, Equinox, LA Fitness, Lifetime etc) to individual clubs over 18 years of weight training.
Hercules Gym is the best equipped and managed space I have ever been in and Pete K (owner/operator) took care of me as a guest as though I was a long-standing member. and the energy and focus in the room is second to none.
Simply put, if you are a 'gym regular' in greater Syracuse looking for a boost or to up your weight training - powerlifting, bodybuilding, olympic weightlifting or any combination program therein - this is the place to be.

I was in town for work and needed a place to lift. I wanted a place I knew was geared towards lifting heavy but without the hyper agressive vibe. This is the place. Located In a big industrial building it's 10 bucks for a day pass, bring cash!!! They have all the equipment for lifting, things I've never ever seen before. At least four deadlift platforms and four squat racks. So many dumbells!!! If I was local this would be my go to gym.

While it definitely has a hardcore, old school vibe, and may be a little intimidating to those who have never been, don't be fooled, it's really a gym for any and everyone (any one looking to work their a** off for gains that is). I've met some of the biggest and strongest, but also nicest, people at Hercules. I've only seen a genuine willingness to help others from not only the staff, but from the other members as well. Forty-year deep history, and man is there some history. No commercial gym bulls***. Tons of equipment for every kind of training. Now 24/7 access 365 days a year, never closed on holidays. The owner, Pete, is super nice and will go out of his way to help you any way he can.

I have been a member of Hercules for 14 years now and I can say it accommodates any physical goals you may have. Strength, athletic, strongman, bodybuilding, general fitness....whatever your interest is, you can pursue it here. There is a very welcoming atmosphere, decades of knowledge and experience from it's members who are all friendly and helpful to anyone just starting out, or to somebody who just had questions. Facility can't be matched for equipment selection and variety, whatever you are looking for you will find here. Owner Pete Knudsen is accessible and welcomes members to tell him anything they think would be a good addition to the gym and he is always adding new equipment. Best gym, strongest gym hands down!!!

I joined this gym about a year ago only ever working out at a YMCA and couldnt be any happier in the new setting. I was accepted into the family here instantly. Everyone here is training towards one common goal to better themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. This gym has everything you need whether you are here to bodybuild, strongman, olympic, powerlifting, CrossFit, speed and agility training or you just wanna come in and blow off some steam. Everyone here is a positive and want to see you succeed by any means. Hercules offers all types or equipment and training methods with old and new school equipment well maintained and cleaned daily. Along with a turf field I couldn't think of any other place to go. Hercules also plays all types of music "out loud!" So you don't have to worry about finding the right tune to workout too. They also offer personal training by any means and levels. Everyone is accepted here whether you are an expert or a beginner. Oh and they are also animal friendly so make sure you bring in your pet for all to love! Open 24/7 . 365 days a year and easy access only makes it even better. As a former D1 Rugby player, three sport all star highschool athlete, and now someone who wants to feed my competitive spirit and stay in shape I highly highly recommend this gym for everyone!

I love this gym. Plenty of equipment for all disciplines, lots of space, and great hours. Any gym with astro turf means business, and Hercules delivers.

Great gym if you’re looking for that old school lifter’s environment that’s so hard to find today. Tons of equipment and the staff is very friendly. This is a gym for people that come to put in the work, not to come and eat bagels together!

Hands down best and most universal gym I've worked out in. I travel often and was here for 8wks. Owner Pete made me feel at home, along with the people there. No egos, just training. There are about five of every piece of equipment you could think of there so there is no waiting. Plenty of room, clean, and even has a huge turf strip.

Awesome gym. All the equipment you'd need to powerlift, bodybuild, olympic lift, train strongman or just get after it your own way. Turf strip as well for that dynamic work. Great staff and atmosphere too. Good pricing also.

"24 Hour Access" for members, Great Equipment (plenty of it so there is always diverse & effective selections to choose from - I don't have to wait or keep trying to find something like in the overcrowded or very small gyms), "not" an intimidating atmosphere to train in, great price and they have cats!!!
