White Wolf is the best! I joined in August and am so happy I did. The group strength classes are…read morechallenging but manageable and the trainers are always there to provide feedback and corrections. Joe, the owner, is almost always around and the trainers he hires are knowledgable, supportive, and friendly. I started weight lifting at home with some dumbbells during the pandemic and was a little nervous about joining a 'real' gym but I didn't need to be - I really appreciated how welcoming everyone was and how it really feels like a community, even when you're brand new. I also worked with one of the trainers, Theresa, specifically on nutrition. She rocks as well!

Food and fitness is not always a harmonious marriage, but they go hand in hand. For the last month,…read moreI've been an official member of White wolf gym in Salem. After giving birth to burrito last year Phil and I rediscovered our love for food on the Northshore. We realized we were eating out almost every day and decided to capitalize on it by documenting our meals and experiences. The more restaurants we visited and reviewed, the more we wanted to share with our friends and family. This quickly became part of our routine. After doing this for several months, I realized this was supper counterproductive to losing the baby weight and overall health. I started going for 30min walks every day, and when that became super boring, I signed up for planet fitness, and when that didn't yield any results, I started taking yoga classes sporadically. I wasn't able to keep up with any of these for one reason or another, so I decided to move on to something new. As our blog grew and the length of time I spent on Instagram increased, I started to notice this gym pop up on friends' pages or in my feed sometimes in other friends' stories. White wolf seemed to be sending me subliminal messages. I spent weeks creeping and basically stalking their content before I finally decided to DM Joe, the owner. He invited me in to do a 2-week, and the rest is history. Phil and I are still working out some kinks in our routine, and the struggle to attend classes consistently is still there. But there's nothing like taking one of Joe's classes. This gym is the embodiment of Cross training. And Joe always keeps it interesting. I have yet to be bored or come out of a class feeling like I wish I never came. What does happen is your motivation is ignited. I'm continually hearing other members talk about how much stronger they are since coming here or sharing words of encouragement to stick with it and be consistent results will occur. When something in your life is changing you for the better, I feel like you have to share it!

In the past 8 years of my time in Crossfit, I've lived the life of a Nomad. I've been a member to…read moremore boxes I can remember, coached a few athletes, and met so many awesome people in my journey. I moved into Salem because of work and had to find a box to stuff myself in. If you want to get my bottom line, then skip my review to the last paragraph. Otherwise I'll break things down to the following: Coaching, Programing, Facility, Climate. These are the facets that make up a Crossfit gym. Coaching and staff: The coaching staff is stellar, they are always watching and ensuring that members are safe, extremely knowledgeable, provide guidance to improve, they are encouraging, and concerned for the well being of the members. This is one of the few, boxes I've ever been to that will genuinely ask you how you're feeling, and not in a motherly way. More of a friendly way making sure that your comfortable with the movements and Wods. The coaching staff is the foundation of any Crossfit gym and I say that Crossfit Iron Spider is resting on solid bedrock!. Programing: This is the meat and potatoes that develop the athlete. Some boxes will lean towards movements like Olympic lifting and some will lean towards gymnastics or strength. The core of their programing it seems to me is primarily balanced the way it should be. Daily Wods involve Strength and Metcon that will challenge you. There is plenty of variety and sometimes off the wall stuff that will keep you on your toes. Facility: The gym is big with ample room and there's a lot of great qualities about it. First everyone wants to know what the bathrooms are like. Well, this is one of the few gyms I've been to that has showers! Three of them to be exact! The men's bathroom (I haven't been to the ladies locker room sorry) has plenty of room to move around complete with two toilet stalls and one urinal. Now on the the equipment. They use a Rogue Infinity rig and have several Oly stations for those of you what want a solid floor to work on. This is also one of the first gyms I've been to where all the rowers actually work! Good on them maintaining their ergos! I've haven't had to share my equipment or break down the Wods in heats just yet so there's plenty of toys to go around for everyone. The only thing that bothers me about the facility is the entrance of the facility. When there's a run involved in a Wod the entrance/egress is a bottleneck and has a case of metal stairs. a maximum of 2 people can pass through the door so it can be a challenge at times. Last of all parking, yes it can be a major concern but not here. Plenty of parking for all. Right outside the door! Climate: Every Crossfit gym has a pulse, and Crossfit Iron Spider is no exception. It's friendly here and everyone I've met here is very supportive. There is also a collection of awesome athletes so if you're looking for some friendly competition, you'll find it here. If you're curious about Crossfit and want to give it a try, or if you're a veteran athlete, and you want to be challenged then look no further. If you live in Salem or in the surrounding towns, it's a no brainer. You wont be disappointment and it may help change your life. Crossfit Iron Spider is one of the best gyms I've been to!

Normally I just go to the gym and do my own thing but I decided I'd give The Way a shot. I have to say it was an awesome experience! Not only is Brandon extremely knowledgeable about fitness and workout regimes, he's very personable and able to connect with his clients. He's straight and to the point, but big on positive reinforcement and self motivation. There were definitely times during the class that I had to take a break and he was totally cool with it. He's a true believer in healthy body/ healthy mind/ healthy soul. It's not just about how many burpees one can do. During the class, we worked on a variety of full body exercises from battle ropes, to slam balls, to balance activities on bosu balls. The gym itself is in a garage/industrial environment. There's a boxing ring and plenty of boxing related equipment (punching bags, etc.). None of that was used in our class. There's other equipment that's non boxing related as well (weights, rings, monkey bars, weight balls). We actually did a small portion of our class outside where we had to walk across the parking lot holding weights. I was told by another person that he often takes advantage of the environment when possible. Overall I was very happy with my first class. I'm definitely going to be sore tomorrow. I appreciate the energy that Brandon brings to the class. He's very passionate about what he does, and it shows. If you ask him why he opened the gym, he'll tell you it's to help people. Just a great mentality. Prices are very reasonable and I will definitely be back for another class.
