RVA Iron Gym is scheduled to open its doors at 3910 Adams Road, near the intersection of Mechanicsville Turnpike and North Laburnum Avenue, in the spring. The 7,500-square-foot gym will cater to athletes, bodybuilders and competitive powerlifters, a population that gym co-owner Brandon Garner said is underserved by existing fitness offerings in the Richmond area. Brandon Garner “You have this massive gap in Richmond where we don’t have any real locally-owned gyms where they’re catered to people who train really hard and compete in bodybuilding or powerlifting events,” he said.
