I was visiting Salem yesterday and wanted to get a workout in for the day and opened my phone to discover this gym.
Upon arrival, I was a little lackluster to see how "small" the gym as compared to other ones I have been to. Oh, how wrong was I to judge a book by its cover. The doors at the entrance into the building are freaking automatic. Some may say, "Who cares?" Well, I do! Because having those doors not only shows the level of quality of the gym but do you know how freaking inconvenient it is to hold the door open for people when enter or exiting a gym?
Anyways, I was surprised to see how nice the person was behind the front desk. I never caught her name, but the customer service I received was 100x better than the people I have dealt with at 24 Hour Fitness, L.A. Fitness, and Portland State University. The questions I had about the gym were answered kindly and I was even offered to be given a tour around the facility as well!
The gym is huge. If you look at the photos I posted of the entrance, it's a lot bigger than it looks in real life. Now, I'm not going to be a fanboy and completely bias. The interior of the gym may be spacious and wide, the number of equipment and machines the gym had was disappointing considering the price that you pay for a membership is $62 a month. The weight room contains only two power racks that are also used for bench pressing as well. There are two more power racks, but they are in the personal trainer room and can only be used if there is no session in progress. The machines are fairly new, they use the same kind of machines that Planet Fitness uses. There is a decent amount of treadmills and stationary bikes in their own separate rooms, but not much more cardio machines when compared to commercial gyms like Planet Fitness and L.A. Fitness.
The last part I want to mention is the community. The community is AMAZING. The employees and the members I have spoken to were are too friendly. I don't know if it's because people in Salem are super nice or if it's the vibe coming from the gym itself, but I was blown away. The niceness is on par with Planet Fitness and Hyatt Hotel gyms, and hundreds of miles beyond better than 24 Hour Fitness, L.A. Fitness, and Portland State University.
Overall, I was very pleased with my visit and workout at Courthouse Fitness and I would highly recommend all my friends and family to try it out.
