Really great atmosphere. The prices are great for what you’re getting. High quality and new gym equipment is constantly in rotation. Access to kg plates. The workers and owners are friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend giving this place a try! Great for powerlifters, bodybuilders, regular gym goers and beyond.

This is easily my favorite gym in the Syracuse area! Hercules has basically everything you could ever ask for in a gym, right near the hub of Syracuse. Not to mention, the vibe is inspiring. Highly recommend for regular gym goers and powerlifters/bodybuilders alike

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.

In town for 3wks. Paid monthly fee. Did not disappoint!! Nothing but kick-a$$, balls-to-the-wall equipment. Nobody hanging out...loved it!!! The owner is cool and laid back. I will truly miss going there.

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.

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+++++

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

This gym is absolutely fantastic. The equipment selection is excellent and clearly well thought out. You can tell the owner puts a great deal of effort into maintaining both the facility and the machines—they’re clean, organized, and in great condition. It’s rare to find a place that feels this intentional and well cared for. Highly recommend.
