I used to be an irregular member. My work schedule changed frequently which meant that sometimes…read moremonths would go by without being able to attend. Still, I always felt welcome and received as I popped in and out, especially by the teacher who completely understood my circumstance. Having our own space now allows a more robust schedule, including Thursdays and Sundays, and this means I can train weekly. When I was new, I loved the silent tea service which is offered in the evening on Tuesday. Such a simple ritual, but so full of depth! The free lunch after sitting meditation on Sundays offers a similar opportunity to practice mindfulness while eating and moving. The best part of the practice is the personal guidance that any participant can receive from the teacher. Her words and guidance have allowed me to navigate some terrible storms in my life, and they keep pushing me to open more and more.

FOR CLARIFICATION. THIS IS THE GYM AT SALEM HOSPITAL NOT THE SALEM FITNESS CENTER. THIS GYM IS…read moreATTACHED TO MRI. I love my gym! Its affordable, at work, and never too busy. Now keep in mind you need to be a Salem Hospital employee to be a member but the dues are good (30 a month, less for longer plans) and the equipment is passable. All the free weights you need and a good mix of the rest. 5 treadmills (3 good) and 4 ellipticals (2 good) and a few other odds and ends. Normally the gym is pretty empty which I enjoy because I'm not one to enjoy fighting for machine time or having my workout disrupted because i have to reconfigure. The TV situation is pretty bad and the music situation isn't great either. But bring you mp3 player and get some lasik surgery and you'll be fine. Just put the weights back where they belong when your done people! Also the gym steward is awesome and will help you with classes and workout routines etc. If your looking for a meat market where you spend 60 bucks a month for a pool you never use and 20 machine that will never see a drop of your sweat and isn't located centrally to your lifestyle then you should probably pass on this deal.

While the fitness center is quite small, it is rather functional, and rarely busy. Nice to have…read morefree weights, a variety of machines, and even a small space for classes and stretching. The stereo sucks, so I deducted a star, but hopefully they get that fixed. This is A Great Place To Work Out (any SH employees catch the reference?).

After my first workout, I knew this was exactly what I needed. The coaches are great at pushing me beyond my own expectations, which sometimes means doing a workout rx and not scaled. There are always events, challenges, and exciting things going on that help encourage me to go beyond my comfort zone. The West Box is truly one of the best places to workout. I always leave feeling more rejuvenated than when I came in.

I signed…read moreup for the 6 Week Challenge, on a whim and it may just be one of the best decisions I've ever made. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, the coaches are fun, friendly and supportive and the workouts are incredibly fun. The thought of Cross Fit had me a little intimidated at the beginning but even someone like myself who is not very athletic nor in good shape felt that the workouts were totally doable; both challenging and fun. I lost 17.3 lbs, 3.7% body fat and close to 21 inches from my body while participating in the Chalk Box 6 Week Challenge. I'm so excited to continue my weight loss and fitness journey here with all of these incredible coaches and members!
