Amazing atmosphere, amazing staff, the only reason I wouldn’t recommend this place is so I can bounce around like a beach ball across all the machines. Love this gym.

As a 19 year old teen looking for a bodybuilding gym, and people with the same mindset, Carolina Iron is an amazing place to workout at I have been working out for a year and half, at other gyms and my progress is not bad, but with Carolina Iron I have seen progress within a month my biceps are finally starting to grow because Carolina Iron has it all any Machine you need they have it they have 10+ chest machines 10+ back machines and over a dozen leg machines. If I was a beginner gym 🏋🏽♂️ goer this is where I would start. 😁

This gym has everything you could need to workout every muscle group and they are continually adding new equipment every month! The owner and staff are very kind to everyone. The few times I’ve come in and said, “man i wish you had this kind of equipment”, I’ve seen them go out of their way to look for it when they think it’s a valuable addition to the gym! I like that it is open 24 hours and the people who lift in there are all very welcoming as well.

I've been training in gyms for over 30 years and I know a quality gym when I see one. Carolina Iron reminds me of the classic gyms that always had great and unique equipment along with killer atmosphere. Carolina Iron hits on all those high-points. It's a place where you can train hard, grunt if you need to and still feel normal and welcomed. If you are in the Greenville area, you should definitely stop by and check them out!

Clean facility, incredibly friendly management, and hands down the best combination of equipment variety and quality within HUNDREDS of miles. Great supportive and encouraging culture. Really gives the privately owned and operated feel in the best of ways. They also have a ton of super rare pieces of gym equipment. Whether you’re a hard core body builder, or just someone who is tired of the crowded box gyms and prefer to workout in a place with exceptional equipment, Carolina Iron is unmatched. Highly recommend (in case you couldn’t tell).

Severely overpriced, EXTREMELY toxic atmosphere. The social media operation run by this place is just public shaming of its own members. Equipment not good enough to justify the drawbacks or price. Reviews are suspect at best.

The best gym in the upstate, without question. Best equipment selection, best staff, best community, and best values.
AJ, Devito, and the rest of the team prioritize respect for the gym itself, and most importantly respect for their members by keeping the facility equipped, clean, and safe.
Thank you to the best gym in the upstate for all ya’ll do, and congrats on what ya’ll accomplished in your first year.

100% hand picked equipment. All the equipment you want from who you want it from-Prime, Atlantis, Flex, Nautilus, etc. Great environment whether it’s your first day or you’re an experienced competitor. The owner put a ton of work into making Carolina Iron an amazing gym and it’s easy to tell. Once you sign up at Carolina Iron you won’t want to go anywhere else.

I’m on the road and did some research to hit a lift along the way. Greatest gym I’ve ever been to. Greatest workout I’ve had in 8 years of lifting. Equipment is top notch, environment and music are unmatched. If I could revolve my life around this area for this gym, I would.

I honestly cant say enough good things about this gym. The equipment is by far some of the best. The environment is exactly what a gym needs. And overall the whole community here is like a big family. Everyone supporting each other and sharing the same goals.
This is definitely a gym geared for everyone especially bodybuilding and powerlifting but anyone who walks through the doors will have an amazing experience.
From the staff to the equipment to the atmosphere and even the cleanliness .. I can’t say enough about how amazing this gym is

Definitely recommend this place to anyone from the area or just visiting. The owner AJ personally helped me with the week pass I purchased, as I had a few questions beforehand. Him and Devito are good dudes, and they take really good care of the place. If you're looking for equipment you won't be able to find at any run-of-the-mill public gym, this is the place to be. They've got a ton of unique and rare equipment, including stuff from flex, nautilus, and paramount. If I'm ever back in town, I'll definitely be stopping by.

I remember my first time in Carolina Iron before it opened. No mirrors, no paint, no members.
Just a vision.
That vision was to create a serious place to train for bodybuilders (and a few powerlifters haha). Once the doors opened, it changed everything.
I’ve met a lot of great people from this gym. I’ll never forget the ones I did, they have become some amazing friends.
I’ve experienced great equipment like this before at another gym I love - Muscle Factory. It raised my standards for how I train and what I train with. I believe some of the equipment at Carolina Iron drastically improved my physique and it’s worth checking out!
So here’s to Carolina Iron. Happy one year anniversary!

Meh. Definitely NOT the Mecca of bodybuilding gyms. Me and a co-worker stopped by to see what all the fuss was about. We did a quick tour and asked what the daily pass fee was. We were told $25 a piece. 25 bucks for an hour workout is hilarious. It's not like the equipment was dipped in gold or anything. Just basic used equipment. Also, all the recent reviews are VERY suspect. They all sound like they were written by the same person at the same time.

Hands down the best equipment across the board. While it boast itself as a bodybuilding gym, anyone should feel welcome here regardless of experience or goal. Even from a standpoint of influencer culture, the people here are respectful of everyone’s space, and don’t carry an entitlement for everyone to stay out of there way. Even for first time lifters, the equipment here will make the best use of your efforts and productivity. The owner and staff are always eager to hear patron feedback or recommendations.

I traveled all the way from Asheville, North Carolina to experience this gym. And I was not disappointed if I could give this Gym 10 stars I would! I’ve been training for over 20 years and I must say the equipment atCarolina iron is some of the best I’ve ever used in my lifting career. Not only that, but the community has an infectious energy that can’t be replicated. I will certainly be coming back! Also the owner is a cool dude makes everyone feel welcomed!

Hands down the best gym in the Upstate of SC. An owner that LOVES quality gym equipment and truly cares about his members. He has gone above and beyond in the first year of opening to continue to improve the facility. Constantly listening to the request and suggestions of his members, constantly upgrading the already amazing gym equipment, constantly improving member services with hiring an exceptional general manager, constantly partnering with other locals in the community that love and promote the fitness lifestyle.
This is a real lifters gym BUT it is also welcoming and helpful to beginners and people of all fitness stages. Specializing in ionic bodybuilding equipment that’s extremely rare and very well maintained. You know from your first month joining that this is a passion driven business 100%.

This place has the BEST environment. Great staff, supportive gym-goers, and always the best equipment. They’re constantly improving and bringing in the next best thing. There are so many strong, dedicated women too and I feel so safe lifting there compared to any other gym. I couldn’t recommend this more to anyone who is serious about having a space that encourages you and your fitness journey.
As someone who is newer to bodybuilding it’s really inspiring to have a great gym like Carolina Iron. I am so grateful that I get to learn new things everyday and improve my training.

My husband and I love this gym! We come everyday we are in town! The owner went all around the country to hand select vintage and some newer equipment and it is amazing! I love the vintage Nautilus equipment so I’m a huge fan!
The leg room is the best we’ve ever seen.
I love the aesthetic of the entire gym— black walls, cool patriotic murals with good lighting. The music is great and fits the vibe. The facility is always clean and they even provide feminine products in the women’s bathroom which is very appreciated by women btw. Everyone there has always been nice and seems to be supportive of each other. There are many people at this gym that compete in bodybuilding and some people who just enjoy working out! I also love that it’s 24/7 access and that they provide a hero discount for membership!!!

If there’s a better gym on Earth, I haven’t seen it. Carolina Iron Gym is more than a gym—it’s a sanctuary for serious lifters, athletes, and anyone who wants to put in real work. From the moment you walk in, you feel the energy. The equipment is top-tier, the atmosphere is gritty and motivating, and everyone in there is there to train—no fluff, no distractions.
Whether you’re powerlifting, bodybuilding, or just trying to level up, this place pushes you to be better. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate, and the community is unmatched. No ego, just hard work and respect.
Carolina Iron Gym isn’t just the best in Greenville—it’s the best gym I’ve ever stepped foot in. Hands down bar none.

This gym is more than a place to workout at, it's also a community of incredible people motivated to better themselves, while also encouraging others. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a pro, this community lifts one another up in a way that's unique and special. Add to that the relentless spirit that AJ has in going after the finest equipment ever built, and what you have is a true unicorn. There are plenty of gyms you can pick from, but there's only one Carolina Iron, and I choose it 10 times out of 10.
In the spirit of fairness, I will say that there's one negative aspect about it... This gym has ruined all other gyms for me. I hate having to travel for work, because I know I won't find anywhere that comes close to what Carolina Iron offers.

I remember hearing about a new gym opening up in the Upstate with top tier equipment.
Went a checked out Carolina Iron before they opened up, and saw some of the pieces and met the owner AJ. I was sold.
Not only does he have elite pieces like Prime to Panatta, but the rest of the gym goers come to train like they mean it.
It’s a great environment with massive support from all angles. All experience levels can feel very welcomed because of the community.
Me personally, it’s my favorite place to train. A full leg room of equipment that you won’t find nearby at any other gym, practically a playground.
AJ is constantly searching and finding new HANDPICKED pieces to update the gym to give the members something else to love.
I really appreciate AJ/his staff for all their hard work, and I love Carolina Iron.

Easily the best gym in the upstate - maybe even the state. AJ is so selective with the equipment and only brings in the best. The atmosphere is great and the community really lifts you up and inspires you to live up to your potential. I’ve been to so many gyms in the upstate for various lengths of time, and I quickly made so many friends at the gym! Can’t say that for any other gym in the area.
If you’re looking for a place to workout with great equipment and to meet likeminded people, this is the place.

I have never been to a better gym in my life, between the staff, community, and equipment it is impossible to beat Carolina Iron. I have never had a bad experience with the staff or the community.
The equipment quality is far beyond any other gym in the area. The community cares about this gym and continues to car for this gym be re-racking all the weights, wiping down equipment, and being respectful of one another.
Overall this is the best gym I have ever been to and I look forward to going to it everyday.

New to the area and was looking for a gym with quality equipment and serious lifters. Carolina Iron did NOT disappoint! It seems more geared towards bodybuilders, but has everything a powerlifter or regular lifter could need. The setup for squat, bench, and deadlift is perfect for competitors, and they have competition plates available for everyone, which I’ve never seen a gym offer before. It was also surprisingly uncrowded the times I dropped by, so plenty of available equipment. The cost is higher than the other gyms I’ve looked into, but I also feel like you pay for quality. Plus it supports a small business! Great atmosphere, equipment, and staff. I think anyone would enjoy lifting here!

This gym has a lot of good equipment with a lot of space. Usually pretty calm and quiet.
Pros:
Equipment is kept in good condition
24hr access.
Pretty clean
Its Never crowded when Im there.
Must be over the age of 18, so you don't have to worry about the high school kids overcrowding the place.
Prices are listed on the website, so everything is transparent with no hidden fees etc.
Cons:
12 month contract required. Or if you don't want that option the price skyrockets to $90 per month.
$60 "initiation fee" combined with another $60 "maintenance fee" 90 days after joining. That's $120 in fees right off the bat. This makes the monthly fee $75 if you divide that number over 12 months. I'm not sure how the initiation fee is justified, as all forms are filled out via the app, meaning no paperwork is required.
Location: The traffic can be atrocious at times.
A "week long" pass is $65, which is the same as the monthly dues.
A day pass is $25. This would be reasonable if there were amenities such as a sauna etc. $10-$15 is more fitting for what is offered here.
Overall this gym is pretty good. If the fees and rates are adjusted to meet the market, it stands a good chance of survival. Unfortunately, no other gyms have these types of inflated prices and fees, and if they do, they offer far more than just gym equipment. If you are willing to spend $25 on a day pass, try it out and see if it's a fit for you. Its definitely worth a visit.

By far one of the best decisions I've made in my fitness journey was to cancel my membership with the commercial gym I was going to and start at Carolina Iron Gym.
If you're looking to support a local gym with equipment that is unlike any that you'll ever find at other places, this is the place to be. Beyond just the equipment, you'll also find a great community of genuine people who are working toward similar goals.
Thanks CIG for creating this awesome space and I'm looking forward to the continued development!

I recently moved to Greenville, SC from Long Island, New York, and spent the past four months searching for the perfect gym to call home. I am thrilled to say that I have found it at Carolina Iron.
From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the friendly and welcoming environment. Aj, the owner and the fellow gym-goers, are always supportive and positive, making every visit a pleasure.
The equipment at Carolina Iron is top-notch. The gym offers a comprehensive range of machines and free weights, covering everything from basic exercises to more advanced training. I am particularly impressed with the leg room. It is spacious and stocked with all the “toys” one could wish for on leg day.
Carolina Iron is an excellent gym with a friendly atmosphere, extensive equipment, and outstanding staff support. If you're looking for a gym in Greenville, SC, this is the place to be. I'm grateful to have found such a fantastic fitness community and look forward to continuing my fitness journey here.☺️💪🏽
