My night started at a different gym during my one week visit. Employees behind the desk at the other gym were not able to get me signed up. Called colonial at 8 pm on Sunday night. I believe it was the owner who answered the phone and got me all set up. Awesome facility, machines, weights and everything you need. Great music and overall environment.

I joined Colonial Iron Gym (James York Plaza on Merrimac Trail, Williamsburg, VA.) 6 weeks ago, & very glad I did - what a great gym! Here are some reasons why:
- Enough equipment so you never have to wait
- With an app to unlock the door, giving members 24/7 access
- Enough weight/ machines to cater to novices and/or advanced lifters
- Cordial atmosphere - Respect for other patrons required, helpful staff
- Disinfectant wipes available to two locations in the gym, and a requirement to wipe down weights/ machines when your done - done by just about all the patrons that I observed.
- For a small additional fee, access to two single person (maybe double) dry saunas, as well as a cold/cryo room.
- Personal trainers (I don't use one, but have seen them working with members)
- Recovery area with massaging chair. Fresh towels for use in recovery area.
- Ample parking right in front of the gym
- Discount for veterans
If you are interested in weight training or fitness in general, I heartily recommend you come take a look at Colonial Iron. You'll thank yourself!

Words cannot say how appreciative I am for this gym for changing my life. From the convenience of being open 24/7 even on holidays, the friendly staff and the red light sauna that has completely restored my skin. This is the easily the best gym in Williamsburg and I highly recommend it to anyone that reads this!

I’m from NJ and I was heading to Williamsburg for Memorial Day Weekend. I had asked in a group if they knew of any gyms in the area and someone suggested Colonial Iron! I was beyond happy with them from start to finish! Connecting through instagram to ask if I could do a guest pass, to the day of, and the workout. It was all beyond amazing. The equipment is awesome! There’s so many different bars, equipment from machines to free weights to cardio. One of my favorite parts was the awesome murals they have painted! I had started my workout and the owners came up to greet me! Very personable and I even felt comfortable to ask for a spot on my bench! Although I am sad I missed out on their Texas rack. Just means I’ll have to head back to try it out! If you’re in the area for a trip or live in the area, this is your go-to! Best place around, you’ll be instantly addicted!

I visited Colonial Iron gym on a recent trip to Williamsburg. Clean, nice people, good variety of equipment, helpful staff, good prices. A special touch was the Vault recovery area, it’s a great way to end your workout. I’ll be back when I’m in the area. Highly recommend!
