How we made this list
We looked at 15 gyms in Downtown, Richmond VA with a Google rating of 4.0 or higher and at least 20 reviews, then ranked by Google rating, weighted by how many people left one. A rating from thousands of reviews counts for more than the same rating from a handful, so a new place with a few perfect scores does not jump the queue. Ratings and hours are from public Google listings on 11 October 2026 and can change. Nobody paid to be on this list.
Tips before you go
- RVA Iron Gym is listed as open 24 hours, so it works for a very early or very late visit.
- Hours and prices come from Google listings and change, so check the listing before a long trip.
